Thankfully there aren’t any REAL issues to attend to.

Your government at work.

You do realize they can't do any work without a quorum don't you?

Well, they can’t attend to any issues until they hold session. They can’t hold a session until there is a quorum present. And they can’t get a quorum until these leftists get back to the capitol.

I don't understand some folks bitching about this. Give Texas props for at least taking a stand and trying to do something about it.

The same folks complaining are the losers and cynics in life that never believe in anything. Basically a bunch of Karen's just complaining about anything .... usually women, but not always (as demonstrated on this board)

Yes. That’s my point. Government (both sides) are useless. They can’t even accomplish the basic things.

Remind me which side is it that's preventing them from accomplishing even the most basic of things?

The ones preventing any issues, real or otherwise, from being attended to are the Democrats.

As far as progressive trolls go, you might contend for the stupidity record. You hear that tarzana? You've got competition.

Cutting their office budgets by 30% and being banned from sending newsletters are going to be the big motivators. I don't know if it's going to be enough though, but it's a decent starting point.

Once they start cutting staff, that's when the fun will begin.

They are on day 5 of $500/day fines and I believe that is on a 7 day/ week work schedule. Aft next Sunday, they will be paying Texas to be missing in action.

Not just a Democrat tactic.

I don’t agree with it but Republicans do stupid as well.

(AP) — Republican members of the Oregon Senate on Thursday extended their boycott of Senate proceedings into a second day, delaying action by the majority Democrats on bills on gun safety, abortion rights and gender-affirming health care.

I get what you're going for, but we did just have alot of kids and adults killed due to REAL issues that still need to be attended to. In case you weren't aware.

agree on the staff cuts,, but they can supplement those with campaign funds but that drains the campaign dollars, which the d's can then request donations to offset

When they come to pick up the paycheck, tell them they owe money because of the $500 per day fine.
