Then they'll get new keys.

The cripple nut job can't fire them.

They can deal with the consequences like not getting paid. What they're doing is not lofty, is not adult, is not mature. It is childish.

What the cripple and his daddy did was childish.
Why did they have a special session for redistricting?

They couldn't wait until AFTER the census?

The blue states finance the red states. I should send you a bill. I have tariff bills to pay that you’re responsible for.

Please tell us how much.

They are within their rights to redraw the districts to reflect a dramatic increase in population. They're supposed to wait another 5 years while the population continues to explode just to satisfy the childish minority because the minority doesn't like the expected results?

And I find it amusing that the left's vaunted and self-proclaimed compassion and civility gets thrown out the window at the first hint of opposition.

YES, that's the way the census works.
How do they know what the population is?
Did they have a census?

I've already shown you multiple ways a state knows if its population is increasing or decreasing, especially if the shift is dramatic. Yet here you are, back on your narrative again, pretending it's still significant. Apparently, in your world a state is to ignore dramatic increases in residency applications and social services spending because they just don't know if more people are living in the state than were planned for or not.

7 days ago — Democrats are trying to block the redraw in the state by denying the state legislature a quorum.

Yes they did. Interesting, huh? One would think you would champion such a decision,

WTF?

Why would anyone?
EXCEPT..........Trump.

given your stance on Texas. I do not.

 

[hadit]

You are FOS.

Like I said, it appears that in your world, a state simply cannot do anything about sharp increases in social services costs, increased traffic loads, more stress on public transportation, etc. until the next census.

"Gee, Cletus, we're spending a whole lot more than we budgeted for social services, the roads are far more crowded with cars and trucks, and our buses and subways are packed full every day. What the heck is going on???"

"Well, Joe, the scuttlebutt is that we must be getting a lot more people coming into the state than we planned for, but we can't know that for another 5 years because we need a census. Without one of those, we just don't know. I mean, it could all just be a figment of everyone's imagination and not real. We have to wait 5 years before we can do anything at all, even something simple like make sure extra people are represented in Washington. After all, random internet keyboard jockeys don't believe population increases happen unless a census says they do."

Sounds like somebody doesn't want Texas to gain seats while California loses them and wants to hold onto the status quo as long as possible.

WTF?

EXCEPT..........Trump.

You expected I would support them doing that. I do not, thus neutering your argument.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

That has NOTHING to do with congressional districts.

"Gee, Cletus, we're spending a whole lot more than we budgeted for social services, the roads are far more crowded with cars and trucks, and our buses and subways are packed full every day. What the heck is going on???"

See above.

"Well, Joe, the scuttlebutt is that we must be getting a lot more people coming into the state than we planned for, but we can't know that for another 5 years because we need a census.

WTF?

Other states have no issues with it.
WHY does Texas?

Texas didn't have any issues in March.
They didn't have any issues in June.

When Trump made his phone call and made his statement, all the sudden they had to call for a special session?

Sounds like somebody doesn't want Texas to gain seats while California loses them and wants to hold onto the status quo as long as possible.

Doesn't bother me.
As long as it's done AFTER the census.

You expected I would support them doing that. I do not, thus neutering your argument.

 

[hadit]

See above.

It has to do with your apparent disbelief that states can identify a dramatic increase in population without a census.

WTF?

Other states have no issues with it.
WHY does Texas?

Because Texas is seeing dramatic increases in population. Did you not see that?

Texas didn't have any issues in March.
They didn't have any issues in June.

When Trump made his phone call and made his statement, all the sudden they had to call for a special session?

Why not? Democrats would have taken their ball and gone home either way, so get it done.

Doesn't bother me.
As long as it's done AFTER the census.

They have the authority to do it.

You have completely lost it, Simp. find a new buzzword, that one failed miserably in November. You are just too ******* stupid to catch on.

A census isn't required to redistrict in Texas, Dumbass.

The ONLY, and I repeat, ONLY reason he objects to this is the belief that it will benefit Orange Man.
