Thread 512213854

Take that chuds, we're not going to live here anymore. You'll feel sorry for missing us.

Boycotting didn’t help them last time. Republicans still won. Beside it’s not showing up to cast their votes.

>>512213854 (OP)
I don’t even had the faintest idea how democrats are even going to be able to win.

>>512213854 (OP)
Ok, arrest them all and fill their seats with Republicans

>>512213854 (OP)
Democrats are whinny bitches

>>512213854 (OP)
Theres not a single republican who appeals to the general public, texas is minority white btw

>>512214074
Colin rugg is a rodent btw

What's the argument for allowing this? I say fuck the democrats, they'll use every tool at their disposal, so I'm glad to see some republicans fighting for something for once. However, I'm looking at the data, and I see that there are 88 Rep to 62 Dem house seats. Comparing that ratio to the 2024 election(~6,375,000 Trump to ~4,806,000 Kamala), the house seats are pretty much in line with that representation. If anything, the Dems are shy a few seats.

I did however see an argument about it being a strong red state, so there shouldn't be that much representation, blah blah blah. Please help a midwit understand this.

>>512214940
Allowing what? The party in charge to redistrict as they see fit? See: California, Washington, Illinois, New York.

>>512214219
But only if they support Israel right?

>>512214777
All side have him as solid right.

>>512214281
Ask your Oregon republicans.

>>512214940
iirc they arent and they'll be fined every day theyre gone.

>>512215725
Naturally, those are American values.

lol these fucking retards fell for such an obvious trap they deserve what's coming to them. can't wait to get the OK to go round them up, even though i'm in lotto enforcement we were told friday that our unit was going to Massachusetts to arrest the ones who fled to boston once the district court paxton will file in okays the extradition warrants. lol they are even using game wardens on some extradition teams going to illinois since there are so few Tx Rangers/DPS fugitive task force officers. Exciting times boys! also it's cool i get to do something besides force safes to be open @ gunpoint for jeets that fail to pay their lotto vendor fee's

>>512215852
not only that, if they accept any money to help defray the costs associated with the fines they will be arrested for felony bribery

>Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton have stated that accepting funds to pay these fines constitutes a violation of bribery laws. Abbott has said that he would use his "full extradition authority to demand the return to Texas of any potential out-of-state felons,".

>Abbott has directed that lawmakers who solicit or accept such funds will have committed felonies, citing the Texas Penal Code § 36.02,.

>>512217309
They picked what they saw was the only winning move which was protest. If they stayed then they would've been seen as bitches who did nothing. In reality dems are mega fucked because Republicans are not playing around anymore since the RINOs are all dead

I mean in regards to arguments that this is blatant gerrymandering. Like I said, fuck the democrats(and most republicans alike), and I realize that the states you mentioned are likely guilty of it as well.

>>512215852
I saw that, or Abbot would shitcan them or something.

>>512214940
>What's the argument for allowing this?
There is none. This happens occassionally and it's always the minority party throwing a shitfit for not getting their way on something. These are the same type of people that would rug-pull a board game they were losing as a kid.

YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE BITCH

>>512218792
Find me an instance of Texas Republicans doing this run away shit. It's always been the Democrats, and they've been doing it for decades.

HOTWHEELS LEADING THE WAY

>>512215725
Yes

>>512215812
I won’t dox myself but when the democrats redrew the OR districts they tried to deliberately remove my dad (R) from what had been his district. There is a random little bite taken out of it. They fucked up, though, and excluded his office address instead of his house. Stupid fucking assholes. So by all means, please bitch and moan about the shoe being on the other foot.

Arrest them, maximum sentences.

>>512219072
lol im not a fan of abbot or paxton but i do support this action...otherwise they are both as cooked as it comes, just look up their county apprasial data for property owned lmfao, they are literally classified as farmers for tax purposes and sign affidavits saying they spend 50+% of their time farming...same for every single elected official in every single county in texas

>>512220370
that's why you see huge circle bales rotting on fencelines everywhere in Texas, those bales are the "production" which they claim to offset property taxes

>>512219668
my last 3 congressional reps havent even owned a house in my district nor have they ever lived in it

>>512220370
>they are literally classified as farmers for tax purposes
ag exemption for land is srs bsns in Texas.
It gives significantly lower property taxes, and if you convert land to non-ag, you owe the tax difference for the previous five years.
>for tax purposes
remember, Texas has no income tax, so "tax purposes" means property tax

I feel like this happened before.

>>512220818
maybe the 2011 incident in Wisconsin

>>512220795
the land is never converted tho, the whole purpose is to keep it in the family. if it is actually subdivided/sold then the new owner (which is normally of some familial or business relation) just does the same shit with ag exemptions.

>>512220795
also you have to sign an affidavit saying 50% of your time is spent farming for gain so right off the top it's fugazee as fuck

>’man they really don’t want us here in texas’
>’we’ll leave! That’ll show those unwelcoming chuds!”
Has everyone on earth taken leave of their senses?

>>512218634
Dems are just ass mad that they have done all the possible gerrymandering they can ever do, and we are just getting started with ours and we were already winning.

>>512219031
>texas
Apologies, I was speaking more broadly. I know it's only the Dems and they act like women (male) on their man-period.
>checks ballotopedia
Interestingly it looks like a relatively recent phenomena, or wasn't documented in the past. Oregon gets the most, Texas number two, it looks like walkouts emerge largely in purple states with high quorum requirements.

>>512220795
lol and whats even worse is they claim NAP crop insurance when it floods even though they aren't even farmers...even though i work for the state, and I fucking love Texas it still grinds my fucking gears. if their property was properly taxed then the apprasial district wouldn't try to fuck me lube free every year through raising my properties valuation

>>512221553
never heard that before, you can have a house on a few acres, and having farm animals is more than enough to count, my brother has a bunch of goats on his land, but his work is oilfield stuff. And chickens too, but that's more like a free eggs hobby.

>>512213854 (OP)
Am I really to believe that a million people are just packing up their bags and leaving on ultra short notice when the average person lives paycheck to paycheck?

>>512214074
>>512214175
We have post IDs you fucking idiot

>>512221783
the point is to keep people from building shit on the land all over the place, the retroactive taxes means you gotta be serious if you really want to make that new housing development or roadside business

>>512220448
That's California-tier.

Texas is a complete shithole now.

>t. native Texan

>>512215725
Like supporting Israel isn't bipartisan.

>>512221933
no, just the few dozen dem babbys in the state congress, last time they did it was during covid and they showed pics of themselves on a plane without masks

>>512222469
maybe I'm just retarded. How do politicians running away stop the redistricting?

>>512222625
Because there has to be a quorum in congress and they're skipping town
Do you even know what a quorum is?

>>512222759
Of course I don't that sounds silly and made up

>>512222811
And this is why we're fucked, zoomers don't even know how the government works and are too lazy to even ask chatgpt slop.

>"50% rule" or primary use requirement
For the 1-d appraisal, the "agricultural business must be the landowner's primary occupation and source of income".

>>512223034
That's alright anon I'm just not really bought into the system so it doesn't really affect me. I found it interesting though thanks

>>512222028
sure on paper, but in reality they use it to pay little to no taxes and for low and subsidized interest farm loans. my parents own 22,000 acres in matagorda county that is used to farm cotton, milo, and maize, i've been privy to this type of bullshit since i was old enough to do dual entry accounting

>>512213854 (OP)
Texans sure got gayer since Dallas was on the air.

>>512220795
A number of states have ag exemption covenants. Here if you are using the property for bona fide ag purposes OR conservation you get a substantial discount on property taxes. Kek you dont have to be a "farmer".

It isnt catch-free though. You cannot subdivide the property or develop it for ten years or you face hefty penalties. The gist is you cant develop it for ten years and you get a break on taxes.
