Surprise! Two of the People "Bribing" the Texas Scofflaws Are Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke and... George Soros

Governor Abbott has stated that anyone giving or taking money to help the runaway Texas representatives is guilty of bribery. He makes a good case: Bribery is defined as giving money to induce an official to either take an action or not take an action.

Soros and "Beto" are paying the Democrats to flee the state and not vote on the redistricting bill. They wouldn't be able to do this without the bribe money, and all of them are too selfish to pay themselves for their absconding.

Ergo, the money paid to them is in fact a bribe to ensure they do not take an official action (voting) on public business.

We'll see if Governor Abbott follows through, or if left-wing judges decide to redefine bribery to grant Democrats a special exemption.

From the Texas Tribune:

he expenses are mounting fast for the more than 50 Democrats in the Texas House who left the state Sunday to prevent the Republican-controlled chamber from having enough members to conduct business. Most lawmakers traveled to the Chicago area by way of a private plane from CommuteAir. They are now on the hook for lodging, meals and the $500-a-day fines they will each accrue for every day of the special session they miss.
National Democratic organizations have been eager to pick up the tab for what they see as a last-ditch effort to stop a nationwide redistricting war that threatens to upend the 2026 midterms. O'Rourke's organization, armed with a $3.5 million war chest, has covered much of the costs so far -- including air transport, lodging and logistical support, a person involved with the fundraising said -- though other groups have been in the mix.
Texas Majority PAC, a group backed by Democratic megadonor George Soros and formed by alums of O'Rourke's 2022 gubernatorial bid, is coordinating with national Democratic groups to solicit fundraising from the party's regular big-dollar donors, according to two people with knowledge of the internal dynamics.

Obama is now saying that gerrymandering is an assault on democracy.

Except for when Illinois gerrymanders to deliver a bespoke seat to him.

From the New Yorker in 2012:

In 1996, during his first run for office, in the Illinois State Senate, Obama defeated his former political mentor Alice Palmer by successfully challenging her nominating petitions and forcing her off the ballot, effectively ending her career. A few years later, Illinois Democrats, after toiling in the minority in the Senate, gerrymandered the state to produce a Democratic majority. While drafting the new political map, Obama helped redraw his own district northward to include some of Chicago's wealthiest citizens, making the district a powerful financial and political base that he used to win his U.S. Senate seat, a few years later.

This is the left's answer: Democrats have to gerrymander! It's bad, but they have to!

But Republicans must be blocked from doing the same! Unlike the Democrats, Republicans do not "have" to gerrymander!

This exchange just about sums up the entire Democrat gaslighting campaign on redistricting:

"Skwad" member Ayana Presley attacks gerrymandering... from a state (Massachusetts) that gerrymandered so hard that Republicans don't have a single seat.

And speaking of Massachusetts' perfect 9-0 gerrymander: Masshole governess Maura Healey is attacking the proposed Texas gerrymander without even acknolwedging let alone defending her own state's highly partisan gerrymander.

She actually threatens to gerrymander Massachusetts again -- to increase its 9-ZERO partisan split to... I dunno, 9 to DOUBLE ZERO. (It's the second zero that really hurts. The first zero lifts the hair from the skin, the second zero cuts it at the root.)

In fact, Massachusetts hasn't had a Republican represent the state in Congress since 1996, or nearly 30 years. I'm not quite certain how much worse Healey can make it for Republicans, at least on the national level. Or, for that matter, in the state legislature. In the Massachusetts Senate, there are 40 seats, and 35 are held by Democrats.

Democrats are so absurdly hypocritical on this issue that even Stephen Colbert points out the Illinois gerrymander to the morbidly obese groomer governor.

By the way, the Democrats have unlocked a new achievement: Branding Republican gerrymandering the new "Holocaust."

Texas State Democrat Rep. Jolanda Jones just compared her Texas redistricting to the Holocaust and the murder of 6 million Jews, and Don Lemon agreed.

I'm exhausted with these people trivializing 6 million murders.

40 The Democrats need to flee like this, because they are facing down some extinction-level events that are converging at the same time. First, the Rs are redistricting ASAP, and they can net some big gains this way. The Ds already did this, so they pretty much have all the gains they're going to get. Second, Rs are fleeing blue states as fast as their U-Hauls can take them, increasing the population of red states. Third, Trump is getting rid of all the illegals, who mostly live in blue states where all the bennies are.

Once the next census takes place, NY, IL, CA and MA will lose congressional seats, and those will go to the red states. If all these things do happen, we could see +15 for the reds, and -15 for the blues -- at least.

If the Dems don't stop this now, they are staring at an abyss. They've got no choice but to engage in this futile gesture.

83 A couple of years ago New Mexico Democrats decided it was intolerable that democracy was actually working the southern part of the date and carved up the 3rd district so the Republican population centers were packed off to the other two districts. Predictably, in the last election the Democrat easily won. It will be another 100 years before a Republican will get sent to Congress.

Not to many years ago the state had a Republican governor, a contested legislature, and one Republican house member. Since 2018, during peak TDS, took over the state like a Mafia and during COVID they cemented power by being totalitarian bastards.

Not one peep of outrage was heard from CA, IL, NY, or MA. The Democrats right now are howling like the Wicked Witch in The Wizard of Oz after she got hit with a bucket of water. I say turn the fire houses on.

There's no cheating involved. Redistricting is expressly allowed.

There is no reason we can't go by the Grid and correct for population by only allowing adjoining sections to be used to optimize.

Also,

Over 80 senators, however, ultimately voted for the minibus due to the bipartisan content of the bills, while the House has passed only two appropriations bills, which Republicans crafted without Democrats’ input, on mostly partisan lines.

Given the impending risk of a government shutdown if the appropriations bills fail to pass, Senate Majority Leader Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., is hoping House Republicans will accept the minibus without making changes.

I guess "bipartisan" now means BOHICA to the taxpayer.

151 The dems always gerrymandered (a practice that goes back to the founding of the nation)

A couple key points were (a) when Rs finally got over the top in TX and did a redistricting to wipe out the dem seats. That was the 90s, I think but you could look it up.

Then in the past 20 years Dems developed software to do draw the district maps. It will gerrymander as much as you want and they all went hog wild. That was the big shift. Since then all the Dem states have made an effort to eliminate R seats, and with each cycle they try harder and the districts become more absurd.

First and foremost, thank you to EVERYONE, EVERY WHERE who has helped Texas over the last two weeks. I am in awe of the risk that some in other states have been willing to take to shelter the Democratic representatives etc. I appreciate all of the good thoughts and ideas that I see on DU that pertain to Texas.

If Abbott is successful in getting the districts gerrymandered as he wants, and he probably ultimately will be, then there will essentially be only ONE party left in Texas. That party will be MAGA and every decision, every move, every bill and every steal of Donald Trump will simply be rubber stamped by the Republican shitholes in Texas. We will no longer have Democracy here. As Rachel has said many times, "it's not coming; it's here".

Texas is ground zero and always has been. If Texas falls, it is the blueprint for every other red state in the Union.

So, I beg you all - please continue to support what the Texas Democrats are doing as if they were your very own. Because YOUR future depends on it, too."

My wife loves shoes. But they are sneakers and boots (cowboy and/or stompy). Her dress shoes are flats. Which she wears only for weddings, funerals, and other sad occasions (her words). She does have a couple pair of Israeli sandals, but no flip-flops (I think she knows my stance on flip-flops: never. Except for barracks showers, ie. shower shoes.)

174 Abbott could play the waiting game - Let the Dems stay away costing their patrons as much money as possible as each day goes by....tick tock...as the bills for 50 members rack up. Hotel rooms, food, daily $500 fines totaling $25K per day with the average price of a hotel room at $160 per day totaling $8K which doesn't include taxes, booze, food, incidentals, etc. Being Democrats, they will spend recklessly as long as someone else is footing the bill and it will get old fast. How long do you think Beto-Soros will keep funding this? Then when the cork pops, remove them.

185 "I am a sixth generation Texan. I love my state. I love my family, and I love what my beloved Texas USED to be.

One of the things (there are many, but ONE of the things...) that contributed to the change in Texas from blue to red was the thinking of some that Democrats were wimpy. Democrats need to re-establish themselves as bold, as strong, and as capable. Their message has got to reflect that.

The actions by the Democratic representatives leaving the state are, at least, something. They took action, they are drawing attention to the reality that MAGA wants to assure more control in 2026. They are drawing attention that MAGA is a bit worried about 2026. They didn't just sit there and let the vote happen and be overruled. The fact that THIS time, other states are offering assistance and counter balances has upped the anti for the MAGA's. There is some real opposition. Some real obstacles for GOP idiots now if the blue states counter the redistricting.

TEXAS IS GRATEFUL!!!!"

As was mentioned by someone else - all signs point to SCOTUS nuking the added on court judgements to the VRA. This will eliminate carved out districts for racial reasons. This will potentially eliminate democrats from any seats in the south, save NC and Georgia - and maybe around New Orleans in LA.

I believe on these very boards we saw 230 as the baseline for GOP representation. If you get another 10 seats for redistricting, your House has a baseline set at 240-195 if I've done my math right.

Since that time the GOP has had a supermajority in both houses (the senate has been that way for years) so that if the democrats leave, the GOP can still conduct business. I imagine something similar is going to happen in Texas soon.

Oh and the Hottie Alina Habba has announced she's going after vote fraud--"we're going to make it harder to cheat."

But wait, there's more: the 5th Circuit has held that voter ID can be required for mail-in ballots.

Oh yeah, and if SCOTUS ends minority-majority districts, that's something like another 30 seats--all from Dems.

Sometimes; it depends ... in the Teapot Dome scandal, Doheny was acquitted of paying the bribe that Secretary Fall was convicted of taking.

238 Tennessee's red super-majority successfully grabbed the Dem's permanent Nashville seat in the last election cycle by dividing Davidson County so surrounding suburbs could dominate. It survived court challenge. It can be done.

Anytime the OKC seat is squeaked out by a dem the state immediately changes the district for the next election.

243 You wanna know why the Dems are in a horrified teenage girl panic?

As noted above, there are facing an extinction level event.

From:
1) redistricting and defensive gerrymandering by Republicans
2) removal of illegals
3) ending minority-majority districts
4) correcting the Census
5) ending mail-in ballots and expanding voter ID

We're talking 50 to 70 House seats that the Dems will lose. And will never get back

Buckle up--they are going to get even more crazy, even more desperate, even more shrill, even more violent.

I'm not sure where my handbag came from. Either Walmart or Kohls. I think I've had it for about 12 years. Some woman at church probably felt sorry for me because she gave me a lovely red purse/ probably from one of her many sisters but it's so large I use it as a sort of briefcase

I'm a woman and I mostly wear pants because it's more comfortable and convenient. But if trannies were to follow that routine then nobody would know that they were trannies.

To accentuate their proclivities they should start wearing either the Elizabethan fashions of the 16th century or the empire waisted fashions of the Jane Austen era.
