Texas dems flee state to avoid vote on election bill

Kamala’s a super spreader, too…at least that’s what Willie says…

Also, a Rep. Pelosi aide, and a White House official.

I thought the Polio vaccine PREVENTED you from getting polio?

You can be exposed to it and it starts to invade your body. The antibodies the vaccine created will kill it before it can become symptomatic. Nevertheless - you "had" polio because you were exposed and it invaded your body - but you didn't have a full-blown presentation of the disease, and that's what the vaccination prevents, and that's how immunity works, you're asymptomatic. It also greatly reduces transmission as you don't have enough of it to pass on to someone else -- usually -- Typhoid Mary being a notable example of the rare exception -- an immune carrier. You get bacteria and viruses all the time and never know it because you're asymptomatic with an effective immune system. Eventually - a disease may be considered "extinct" and eradicated if zero cases present for a very long time - such is the case with smallpox with the last recorded US case in 1949 and the last one globally in 1980. Some diseases may be continuously present in you such as chicken pox - if you had it as a child- that can emerge much later as shingles if your immune system falters.

IIRC it happened here in Indiana several years ago too, didn't it?

Indeed.

Steve Stemler was an exception as discussed in this article.

House Democrat out of step with party walkout

Not long after many of his Democratic Party colleagues fled the Indiana House for neighboring Illinois on Tuesday morning, Rep. Steve Stemler got a call from his 80-year-old father in

The article is worth a read.

A quote from the article:

"but he said his decision to stay was based not on partisanship but some principles learned from his father.

Among them, as Stemler said: “If you take a job, you better show up and get your work done.”

Even if that work is sometimes unpleasant."

I was able to get my hands on the paper containining the column. I sent it to him along with a two page handwritten letter which essentially said that while I disagreed with his party's position on the matters that were being debated at the time I had nothing but respect for his response to the party orders.

I never heard back from him. Perhaps some lacky intern opened the letter, saw what it was about and discarded it.

Nonetheless, if I ever come across this guy I will buy him a beer and tell him about my respect for his actions during that time.

Looks like number six was just confirmed. Their vacation isn't going as planned.

They're miracle workers! They left Texas with a case of Miller Lite and arrived with six cases of Corona.

Nancy Mace needs to be part of the next administration...

Nail meet hammer. She buttered her up and made her feel all comfy then let her have it. Nice.

Was that one of those Southern "well bless your heart" moments?

Nancy Mace needs to be part of the next administration...

Well done.

Much of the noise over "voting reform" is about enabling fraud.

Theses Dem runaways are nothing but a big worthless AWOL PITA. I don't get why some people vote those grandstanding, freeloading attention seekers into office.

Theses Dem runaways are nothing but a big worthless AWOL PITA. I don't get why some people vote those grandstanding, freeloading attention seekers into office.

They think stuff like this is morally positive because of Merrick Garland and stuff like that.

Looks like someone is getting arrested.

Sue the state for something stupid and see what happens.

Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan signs 52 arrest warrants for absent Democrats in bid to end chamber’s weekslong stalemate

The Texas Supreme Court earlier Tuesday ruled that Democrats who refuse to show up could be detained by law enforcement and brought back to the state Capitol.

It appears they now have a quorum.

Texas House finally makes quorum, but Democrats say Republicans cheated to get there

There were 99 members registered as present Thursday evening, the exact number needed to end the 38-day Democratic quorum break over the GOP’s priority elections bill. But not all of those members were physically on the floor.

F those scumbags. Glad to see the Republicans pushed this through. Ridiculous the circus the dems have become.
