That is going to be enjoyable. The immaturity and ridiculousness from this racist piece of garbage has been astounding. Sadly, I think some major democrat will hire her and she won't completely go away though, but we can hope. That salary is gonna drop really quickly.

I hope her family, who apparently has money can take care of her until she finds a new job if she even will.

Would be soo great if this pissed off a lot of Texans come next round of voting. Proving to the public their vote doesn't matter isn't going to be that popular.

I'm not sure.

I keep seeing that it's going to be, but I'll believe it when I see it.

But I sure hope it's true.

Great point.

Now tell us why your point doesn't apply to CA, IL, NY, and all of the other blue states that have already done the same thing?

Truth is, Texas is late to a party that has been going on for decades. You're just upset that Texas is fighting fire with fire, and this is the first time your party is getting burned.


Republicans are playing the game the same as the dems have for years and the dems don't like it one bit.


The fact that anyone is arguing what they are doing is insane given what the democrats have done in other blue states for years. California is already redistricting again to counter the 5 seats they just gained in Texas. The won't even have to threaten to arrest anyone to do it. The sad point is that is the last state they can probably counter in as they have run out of other states to do it in as they have been so blatant about it. If republicans do the same thing in red states the Dems lose by about 30 seats.

CA is going to TRY to redistrict.

However, it's against their constitution, so they're going to try an end run around the rule of law to achieve it...


And he doesn't have support

Quote:
California voters widely prefer keeping the state's independent redistricting commission, new polling shows, as Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) threatens to bypass it to counter GOP gerrymandering in other states.



Newsome did do his own poll that shows 57% support the measure, but, it was Newsomes pollster who did it


That's to justify the win after they stuff the boxes.

does anyone know the numbers on what the new TX-30 will look like? I though I read it was still a democrat district.




TX-9 in Houston (Al Green) goes from a Harris +44 to Trump +15. So his career is over.

on second thought, he could decide to run for TX-18 (Sheila Jackson Lee & Sylvester Turner old seat). I do not think anyone of note has said they are running there.

So the pimp stick may be out of a job?

How will he ever get to impeach Trump if he can't get elected?

To the libs that complain about Jasmine, boo hoo. Tell that to Lauren Boebert whose Colorado 3rd district was redrawn to push her out. She moved to a new district and won and that's what allowed her to keep a seat in the HR.

Unfortunately with Crocket's blue popularity and desire for attention I think she'll do the same in Texas. There's a lot of dirty blue money that will follow her.

One of the biggest grifting pieces of **** out there. 100% fake, and riding the "they all racist" bandwagon and "orange man bad" as hard as she can.

It's funny how her interviews before running was a decently well-spoken individual. She comes out later with her "thug" mantra, which is pathetic, as she is making a caricature of the very people she professes to "represent".

I think this is how it currently sits. From what I've read they want to go from 6R/2D to 7R/1D.

It's interesting how quickly both of those two people passed away. I'm not really sure honestly. Al Green is a moron. I personally don't think Texas will ever turn blue but I guess we can never say never.

so with California now matching the 5 seats redistricted-

this only works if EVERY REPUBLICAN STATE now moves!

Missouri might be a +1

but we need Florida, NC, AL, SC, AR, Iowa to all move now!

California isn't going to match it without a vote that they will likely lose. They were also close to losing several of the competitive districts in 2024, so redistricting is likely to make even more districts competitive. And with Trump's folks in place at DOJ, they are likely to be much more active at trying to combat some of the vote counting shenanigans that California had in previous elections.

They are convinced that if they sneer at us enough and insult us enough for not believing what they do that we will see the light and choose to join them in their unpopularity.

The curtain has been pulled back and the wizard isn't all that imposing or scary any more. All the Democrats' tactics of intimidation and ridicule no longer work. People aren't afraid of them or worried about what they think. Trump beating them has liberated Republicans and helped them quit worrying about the legacy media and Democrats in general, and to speak/pursue the truth over their wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Add to that the fact they can only combat it with rhetoric because most of their states already rigged and there's little if anything to gain by gerrymandering their states.

Massachussetts is going to gerrymander in a unique way.

Currently it's:

Dem 9
GOP 0

They're going to make it:

Dem 12
GOP -3

As funny as this is, you might be on to something. Stop giving them ideas.

Like they say it's not who shows up to vote, it's who counts the votes. Could not be more true in Cali.

I don't know the Harris/Trump numbers, but those assuming Crockett is done might be in for a very rude awakening!

In addition, the new maps would decrease the number of multiracial districts where no one racial group holds a majority from nine to four, creating two new majority Black districts the 30th District in Dallas represented by Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett and the solidly blue 18th District in Houston currently vacant since the death of Rep. Sylvester Turner.

Texas House passes flood relief bills

Quote:
The Texas House on Thursday passed several bills aimed at responding to the devastation caused by the July 4 floods in the Hill Country. This comes as private donors on Thursday pledged $40 million to support long-term housing recovery in the region.

One of the House proposals that were passed was House Bill 1, which seeks to strengthen emergency planning and evacuation procedures at youth camps. A similar measure, Senate Bill 1, was the focus of a committee hearing Wednesday, where several parents of children killed at Camp Mystic during the floods testified in support.

House Bill 1 and Senate Bill 1.

Looks like it was the FIRST BILL PUT FORTH in both the House and Senate...

You just continue to ignore any sort of truth or facts in some sort of pitiful effort to goaltend for your party of 1%ers that can't see the forest for the trees. But keep clicking those heels Dorthy
