...I do wonder how Ex-Speaker Pro Tempore Joe Moody's boss, Rick Francis, is dealing with the fact his employee just got up and took a month off by flying with a bunch of other Democrats to DC and lose his leadership position in the Texas House.
All this in order to "protect democracy".
These motherfuckers act like they are at Bunker Hill.
And they know they are not.
So why?
The truth is a lot of your legislators live unremarkable lives. Seriously.
Shit like this is their version of thrill-seeking.
It offers an escape for them.
"Sorry sport, Daddy has to be in our nation's capital to defend democracy. But we got here in a private jet and we are all staying at the Marriott."
Then people ask why the kids are all fucked up and shit.
These are not actions of grounded people.
And then there is the fact Beto involved.
You want to talk about white privilege, here is a washed-up political candidate who still manages to retain influence over minority legislators. Latino legislators really gotta ask themselves why they are following Beto's instructions. If Beto were legit Latino, you would have probably never heard from him again after the Senate race.
"It's about policy."
It. Is. Not.
Again, as I have said previously what Republicans want to do will not change El Paso. El Paso will still be Beijing...a one-party town...just a shittier party.
The only people or places that benefit from this bullshit is a legislator from San Antonio who is getting all sorts of air-time, Beto and Harris County.
El Paso gets nothing from this.
So why?
Again, see above.
