Good for them.....They are getting fined $500 a day What is also good for them, is Abbott can call a special session after special session......lets see how long they can afford to not do their job.

Surely you can see the difference........if you can't then you should read up on Congress having a recess versus job abandonment.....

I wouldn't mind government ran stores for people needing food assistance. These grocery stores would have basics and not ribeye's or lobster. These folks could be issues a card that only works in the government run grocery stores. This would limit what they could purchase.....Plus beans, rice and ground meat don't have a huge resale value...

from your article, see below On another note, I know you mentioned you would not like it from either side, but both sides do it. It is a tit for tat game and the one that does not do it losses.....as long as it is within the laws and legal, why not? The bending the knee / bowing is being used for anything the Dems don't like......like the settlements with universities.....the King narrative..... Cory Booker is trying to win an Oscar for his performances.....lol A person familiar with Abbott’s thinking said it was “inaccurate” to characterize the governor as being reluctant to pursue redistricting, but declined to provide any additional details. Andrew Mahaleris, a spokesperson for Abbott, declined to comment on Abbott’s conversations with Trump and other Republicans about redistricting but said the governor “looks forward to the legislature addressing important topics such as flood relief and property tax cuts, along with other critical issues, during this special session.” Abbott justified the redistricting by saying it was needed to address “constitutional concerns raised by the U.S. Department of Justice” about the current maps, which were drawn in 2021 and are the subject of an ongoing court challenge. The concerns were raised in a DOJ letter dated two days before Abbott announced the special session, in which Assistant U.S. Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon argued that four of Texas’ Democratic-controlled districts were unconstitutional and should be redrawn on the grounds of racial gerrymandering.

The courts was a fair comparison..... Each side does it and they are not going to stop. It has been going on as long as politics have been around. You wanting to make it stop when it effects your party is telling...... I'm ate up with partisanship?.....that is comical coming from you....lol

We agree......lol

They all get on their moral high horse when things don't go their way. I remember when Trump got his 3 Supreme Court justices, Democrats were going to pack the Supreme Court if they got enough of the majority......... Just wait tho......Thomas is 77 and Alito is 75....... If they both retire, Democrats would flip out....lol

Look, another Democratic talking point to portray Trump as a King.....lol Trump may support this, but I have heard no quotes from anyone but the media opinions saying it was forced.....

But where were you the 4 years Biden admin could of pushed for the release of these documents? You didn't care because you didn't think Trump would win.....

I've hired people and ended up having to let them go for poor work performance. The bow down narrative is just a new Democratic talking point......before you were conditioned to say it, how many times in your life have you said it......my guess would be zero I will say, Democrats and the media are good at repeating messages......

No - the information had always been there. Most of it is from John Durham's investigation that was recently declassified. No one, has legally challenged the authenticity of the documents. But like I said in my post, you guys don't seem to care a President was sabotaged by another President coming into office. I think history will and it will be a pretty bad tarnish on Obama's legacy.

yes lol

When someone accuses trump of something 30 years ago, who even the accuser can't remember important details, they are 100% sure Trump is guilty and treat it like fact - When the DOJ and FBI release files that literally confirm Obama and Hillary were in on a scam to sabotage an incoming President, they ignore it....... So, baddog, they don't see it because they don't care to look.

Not Exactly......Seems like she sucks at her job “I was just informed that our Country’s “Jobs Numbers” are being produced by a Biden Appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamala’s [Harris’] chances of Victory,” Trump wrote. This is the same Bureau of Labor Statistics that overstated the Jobs Growth in March 2024 by approximately 818,000 and, then again, right before the 2024 Presidential Election, in August and September, by 112,000. These were Records — No one can be that wrong? We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY.

So you're saying the President that got us into 9.1% inflation somehow got us out? LOL Biden had 4 years to screw it up, and you guys find fault in Trump not fixing it in 6 months. I am glad ya'll have such high standards tho.....Because so does Trump

If I recall stocks took a hit when Trump announced the tariffs....Then a few weeks later, he started breaking records. In June, 2022 inflation hit 9.1%.......June 2025 was actually 2.7. Hard to take you serious when you're sounding the alarm because of a "tick" up in inflation, after we have recovered from 9.1%

Be careful what you wish for..... Republicans preferred on most issues that decide elections despite unease with Trump over the economy, tariffs and foreign policy Democrats Get Lowest Rating From Voters in 35 Years, WSJ Poll Finds [Hidden Content]

This situation is why we don't regulations on magazines or how many bullets a gun can hold....... Because these folks needed all of them😁

a year ago average gas in Texas was 3.09 Today it's average is 2.77 Yesterday I filled up at Port Arthur Wal- Mart for 2.39 [Hidden Content]

You made 6 post and never once addressed how wrong you were with "new explanation".....lol

Man, that girl is smokin hot. Sex sells......always has and always will.

Well the story is true....and race should not matter, but since BLM and the media started the "unarmed black male" stuff, race now matters......

Totally went over my head lol

HE has nothing "new" - The media is just making stories and you apparently believe what is written......because if it is on the internet, it must be true...... Here is what has been said about the fallout 1. One unconfirmed rumor claims Epstein was banned after hitting on a club member’s underage 2. A 2020 Epstein biography suggests the falling out came after Trump outbid Epstein on a Palm Beach mansion in 2004. 3. Last week, a Trump spokesperson said Epstein was banished because he was “a creep.” Now Trump explains why he banned him.....None of the others were Trump.

No one is blaming Biden for sitting on these "files" for 4 years......weird huh
