TX AG Runs From Subpoena

The Hammer · Sep 27, 2022

Texas Attorney General ran away when served with court papers over abortion rights lawsuit, affidavit says

The AG apparently "feared for his life", and ran away from his home, fleeing in a truck, when a person attempted to serve him a subpoena in relation to abortion rights groups lawsuit in the State.

How weak and fearful are Republicans, to the point that they run from someone handing them paperwork. Haha

The pubs know they've built their house upon sand, and the rain is coming.

They were hoping they had the power to make over the country the way they want and are realizing that the will of the people is stronger than their small factions. But they won't stop doing what they can to get their way.

Should of made a paper airplane out of the subpoena and threw it at him. If it touches him physically, it's legally served.

Wonder if he'll hitch a ride with Cruz to Cancun.

It’s not a Republican issue. People from all walks of life and affiliations try to avoid service.

It seems to me that he doesn't expect his excuse to be believed by his supporters.

"When I thought my family was threatened, I decided to be a coward by fleeing and abandoning them" doesn't exactly sell with anyone, and "I *didn't* put a bullet in a dangerous intruder on my property" doesn't sell with Texas Republicans.

... unless those Texas Republicans recognize the excuse as a lie to further aims that they support.

Or with MTG's aliens.

He said: "The media wants to drum up another controversy involving my work as Attorney General, so they're attacking me for having the audacity to avoid a stranger lingering outside my home and showing concern about the safety and well-being of my family."

Oh yeah? So he didn't bother to call the police and left his wife and children alone with that dude "lingering outside my home"??? Where's the phone call to the police, if he was worried about their safety??? Why would he just take off and leave them alone?? Seems someone is pretty bad at this liar business.

Geez, what a coward!
And he couldn’t even lie correctly.
Smh!

It isn't about being convincing. It's about just stating the conclusion that would be expedient for him if it were true, and then the people who share his goals play along as if it were true.

From an Attorney General no less
(I’m assuming they all play the same role regardless of country?)

I know politics can be a “team sports” sort of thing, with plenty of what we would call “one eyed supporters.” (People who defend any and all actions of their political side whilst condemning the other for the same or similar failings.)
But it’s a bit sad to see just how willing some folks are to “follow the narrative” lately.
If that makes sense?

More fun abortion rights news....
In 2019, Doug Mastriano said women who violated proposed abortion ban should be charged with murder
Excerpted....
"Doug Mastriano has said his number one priority is banning abortion with no exceptions for rape, incest, or the life of the mother — and now, it’s clear he also wants to prosecute women for murder for making personal healthcare decisions," Manuel Bonder, a spokesperson for Shapiro’s campaign, said in a statement.

I can understand that if someone really believes
that abortion is murder, the mother is as culpable
as the abortionist. Consistency of belief requires
her prosecution. This is good. Why?
Because people are inconsistent & ruled by emotion.
Even anti-abortion types would be repelled by seeing
a mother prosecuted & imprisoned for murder. This
makes such a position politically weak.

Hopefully people get out and vote that extremist out!!
Things like this honestly make me glad my country has “compulsory” voting. At least we as a society make the decisions, more or less. It’s not ruled by unpopular legislation voted in by candidates who don’t have actual majority support, like I often see happening in US news

Compulsory voting forces people with no interest
in voting, go to the polls to vote. I'm skeptical that
giving them power they don't want would improve
anything.

It just forces people to go to the polling booth. Whether physically or by mail, these days.
You don’t actually have to vote for anyone, if that is your sincere wish. I’ve handed in an unfilled ballot or two myself. You only really go for the sausage sizzle!
Last I checked the actual turnout for voting voting was roughly 92% for Aus. I think the prevalent attitude here is, well I’m at the booth now so might as well vote for someone lol
Whereas it seems to me complacency and overall indifference has allowed unpopular and downright dangerous politicians to gain power in the US.
Maybe having a bit more motivation to change things would actually do something positive for the US political landscape? I dunno

So people who don't give the issues & candidates
end up voting, eh. I'm glad that'll never be law here.
