How does SOOPOO know what voters voted for these Texas Reps to do? Maybe the emails and calls are in broad support. Elections have consequences SOOPOO.

(That's the refrain I always hear)

Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is calling on the Trump administration to commute the sentence of former Congressman George Santos, who was sentenced to seven years in prison earlier this year after pleading guilty to wire fraud and identity theft.

“George Santos has taken responsibility,” Greene wrote on X, sharing a letter she sent to the Justice Department’s Office of the Pardon Attorney. “He’s shown remorse. It’s time to correct this injustice.”


He's suffered enough! What has he been there 3 weeks yet?

I support any legal effort, both fair and unfair, to prevent legislation being passed


I think what you meant to say was you support it when it is liberals trying to prevent it. And if it is so legal, why did they have to flee the state? Why did they just not come to work?

Are you fine with storming the US capitol, but want it to be a crime to leave the state? One is very peaceful. One isn't.

One is elected politicians refusing to do their job. The other is a demonstration that just got out of hand. No reason to compare the two.

CA Governor Newsom threatens Texas. Kind of murky but looks like he is saying CA will redistrict if Texas does.

Who on earth does Newsom think he is? What does CA have to do with TX?

Ok. Not a crime. YET. But Abbott does have the right to have them arrested. And fine them. I’d pay to see handcuffed losers brought in as warm bodies so that a quorum is present.

I can’t believe there are those that believe that running away when there is a vote on an issue that won’t go your way is now considered an accepted practice by Democrat lawmakers. It’s reason #286 why I’m an anti Democrat.

Reason #287 is Newsom saying it’s wrong to gerrymander, but if Texas is doing it, so will I!

Because Trump got involved in pushing Texas to do this. That's why Democrats in all states have an interest. You should ask why he is getting involved state election business.

"Midterms" That's why.

Because it is not illegal for them to leave the state under these circumstances. If you think otherwise, cite the law.

Can you quote this supposed threat against Texas?
