What great optics for a party that wants to nuke the filibuster: a chartered private jet full of unmasked legislators fleeing their state so the House of Representatives can’t vote on bills they know will pass. From the photo they tweeted from onboard the jet, it looked like all white women, but Texas State Representative tweeted during a touchdown in Memphis that their sacrifice was nothing.
James Talarico ~ Just landed in Memphis on our way to DC. Thank y’all for your well wishes.
We left behind our families, our livelihoods, & our beloved Texas. But our sacrifice is nothing compared to the sacrifices brave Americans have made throughout history to protect the sacred right to vote.
{Cont.} We’re prepared to stay out of Texas for the rest of the session.
This decision wasn’t easy. Many of my colleagues left kids, elderly parents, & sick loved ones. Many are risking their day jobs & their seats in the House.
But we won’t sit by & watch democracy wither on the vine.
"The decision wasn't easy." BWHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! Oh, BOO HOO! What a pathetic joke you are!
Curtis Houck ~ How many Miller Lites deep are you to have thought this was worth tweeting?
Sean The Producer ~ Stop it. You're not making any sacrifice. You're taking a trip on a private plane. And you brought a case of beer.
ChrisCarpenter ~ You’re on a booze cruise to Washington not at Valley Forge!
Idiocracy Achievement Unlocked ~ Thank you, James. You’re braver than the journos who stormed the beaches at Normandy.
IrishTea1 ~ You were hired to vote yes or no on any issue. Running away cheats every voter who cast their ballot for you.
Spittin Nickles ~ Should have double checked your bags ... you left your integrity, honesty and patriotism back at the house.
Lisa ~ Your livelihood??? LOL, get real, dude.
TheodoreBear ~ Stunning and brave.
Hooch Acquisition Company ~ Yes. They will write sonnets to your bravery.
Ben Brewton ~ Easy on the drama chief. You flew to DC.
JohnTheBitcoinBaptist ~ I knew I felt the estrogen levels drop when I walked outside this morning!
Yep, a definite drop in general estrogen levels here in Texas since that plane took off.
SCIENCE!! ~ Good luck! When you get back and the bill passes, it will all have been worth it!
John Hawkins ~ Here's a slow clap for the incredible "sacrifice" you've made by running away.
Michael A. Wolff ~ This was the middle school teacher in Texas who got bullied out of his class by his 12 year old students and ran away crying and never came back to work 😂😂😂. Him running away from something is hardly news.
Yeah, this is the same idiot who said that "modern science obviously recognizes there are many more than two biological sexes. In fact, there are six ..." Moron.

Jeremy Frankel ~ Thoughts and prayers during these awful times. Surely it's just like Normandy.
Mark Baumbach ~ You’ll still get paid. How nice.
Von Ketteler ~ "My dearest Emily, The rations are almost gone now and our ammunition is depleted ..."
Clark Whited ~ Someone give Jimmy a cookie.
zulupapaquebec ~ Thank you for your tacit support of the filibuster in the U.S. Senate.
janice ~ This isn’t a wagon train in the Wild West, you’re on a chartered plane, maskless I might add, drinking beer and having a good time. Get a grip on yourself.
Oh, Janice ... it wouldn't surprise me if Jimmy did get a grip on himself ... a la Jeffrey Toobin ... in the lavatory during the flight. With all that Miller Lite and being surrounded by a bunch of butt-ugly Democrat hags - how could he resist?! ROTFLMAO!
Jessica O’Donnell ~ This could be the most pathetic tweet I've ever seen from a politician. Top 10 for sure.
Hugh Daughtry ~ Sir, good to see you take your oath of office so seriously. Glad you weren’t at the Alamo.
Taylor ~ Douche bag.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
