Rep. Nicole Collier, the Democratic state lawmaker who spent Monday night inside the Texas Capitol, is asking a court to let her exit the building, alleging she’s facing “illegal restraint by the government” after she was told she needs a police escort to leave.
The Fort Worth lawmaker and dozens of other Democrats left Texas earlier this month to delay a vote on a GOP-led plan to redraw the state’s congressional map.
The Democrats returned to Texas in recent days and they were given state police escorts to ensure they will show up when the state House convenes Wednesday, but Collier refused to sign a “permission slip” to be under escort by the Texas Department of Public Safety. Collier says she slept on the House floor overnight.
Awww sweet baby. Your country is completely fucked and the best you can do is desperately attempt to deflect and justify. Fix your shit, it’s broken and so intertwined with everyone else(often by force and/or coercion) that we all definitely have good reason to complain. And if you’re so clever it should be easy, right?
You’re adorable. Complain all you want. It is fucked up. But just know, fascism coming for you soon. It’s a global trend.
None of this deflection is making your crap country any better. Here in Canada we pushed our Trump-loving candidate out, even if barely, when there was no way we should have expected to come to that result. Now, in the face of our neighbour being absolutely batshit, we are standing firm and telling the US we don’t need them anymore. We are barely hanging on in many ways but we’re doing it even under the immense pressure from the south while those fools have really no need to be this way but cannot help themselves. Richest country in the world and all the tools to fix their problems but instead they’re here.
There is a lack of perfection in the world and things aren’t as good as they should be. Still, when the chips are down the Conservatives get denied, the AFD loses, and so on and so forth. Except in the US, of course, where things just keep getting worse and worse.
A sad country, that USA. Fix your shit.
The silver lining in the solid wall of roiling black anvil clouds of our storm. At least we helped Canada avoid their own Magat regression
Canada lost to fascism by 3%. The next election will flip you. Fascism is clearly the direction the world is going at the moment. If you had the capability of focusing on anything outside of the United States, you would see this.
I needed a good laugh this morning, so thank you
“tell me what country your from and I’ll tell you how it’s doomed”
-Is told a country, the ‘great insight’ is “I’m sure next election people will vote for fascism.”
Anything to avoid thinking about the problems in your own country or how to deal with it right? Just roll over and take it, it’s the American Way.
And yet no country.
If you can’t decipher my country from my instance I don’t put a lot of faith in yor skills.
Anyone can sign up for .ca.
Fascism lost by 3% in Canada. Next election it wins.
What a fascinating complex insight you have provided. How about this:
Next election Facism looses.
There. I have rebutted your argument with the exact same strength and value of argument you provided.
Of course you needed a laugh, the US is a hellhole and not getting any better. Buddy I know mental health is treated badly in the US but lashing out at others isn’t going to make your situation any better. Build something better.
I’m not the one lashing out ;)
