12 people holding the whole state hostage. Definitely sounds like a GOP tactic.Here in the State of "Tyranny", formerly known as "Oregon", we have a very interesting and disgusting situation going on.
Let me give a quick background.
We have a very liberal Dimocrat governor (Kate Brown).
Both of our legislative chambers are ran by Dimocrats, and in fact they have a super-majority in BOTH chambers.
They pretty much can do whatever the fuck they want, and Republicans can only sit and watch. Even when all GOP lawmakers agree to stick together and vote as a block, they're votes are useless to stop this insane progressive agenda.
That is until yesterday...………………………………………………………………..
The fucking Oregon House Dims passed a radical cap and trade bill that is going to skyrocket fuel taxes, and shut down some industries as well as increase power rates across the board.
The bill went to the state Senate, which as I mentioned earlier is controlled by a Dim super-majority.
A celebration was all set up, since everyone knew it was just a formality for the Oregon Senate to send the bill directly to the leftist nut governor who would quickly sign it.
Problem is, NONE of the Republican state Senators showed up for the vote, and since they needed at least two to cast their NO votes, before the Dims could steam roll the bill through, the vote never took place.
Now is where it gets just fucking bizarre.
The governor had her lawyers check to see if she could sent the State Police to arrest at least two of them and bring them back to the capitol.
Reports are that the GOP Senators may all have left the state.
This is the only tool available to stop this tyrannical rule that has been going on all this legislative session.
I am proud of these Republicans, and hope they remain standing tall !!
Oregon sends police to bring back Republicans who left state over climate bill
Washington (CNN)Oregon Democratic Gov. Kate Brown on Thursday authorized state police to locate Senate Republicans and bring them back to the state Capitol after some left the state to block the chamber's proceedings.
After more than eight hours of fruitless negotiations late into Wednesday night, Republican state senators in Oregon walked out of a session on Thursday over disagreements on HB 2020, a cap and trade climate bill. All 11 GOP senators failed to appear later Thursday for floor proceedings, leaving the legislative body two senators short of a quorum, according to Kate Kondayen, a spokeswoman for Brown.
At least some of the senators have left the state, according to a statement from the Oregon Senate Republicans, and the wife of one of them says they are all in Idaho at an undisclosed location.
"They all left and are in Idaho. I don't have a way of contacting him," Peggie Boquist, wife of Oregon GOP Sen. Brian Boquist, told CNN when asked the location of her husband.

So, Republican Senators in Oregon are too chicken shit to face performing their duties, so they ran away just like Timmy did in the second grade?
No surprises here folks, nothing to see, move along.
Dear fool....republican senators' duties do not include helping democrats in the one party state of Oregon follow California down the cap and trade rabbit hole, causing much more damage to the state than any theorized futureSo, Republican Senators in Oregon are too chicken shit to face performing their duties, so they ran away just like Timmy did in the second grade?

global warming.
The economic damage will be real unlike the IPCC's theoretical tales of the distant future. Grow up.
Are trees useful in removing carbon from the air or not because harming the lumber industry, one of Oregon's leading sources of jobs and income, also harms their ability to plant trees and foster the forests here. Eff off!
The senators are doing the jobs their constituents sent them to Salem to do. Stop being such a retarded clown.So, you believe that Senators shouldn't be performing the functions for which they were elected, taking pay, pay they receive from the tax payers, and running away from their elected duties, all while they get a free pass for being a bunch of pussies?
The governor did the right thing; go out there & arrest every single one of those coward pussies, and send them back to work, which is their elected duty.
I'm surprised you believe in free loaders.
All of those Prog Californians moved to the urban areas there. Turning Wash. State and Oregon into Cali like soviet socialist states. The people are the ones that have been held hostage to the carpetbaggers and scalawags who did not appreciate what they had and temper the rough edges when they moved there but had to have a revolution instead of evolution.12 people holding the whole state hostage.

All 11 GOP senators failed to appear later Thursday for floor proceedings, leaving the legislative body two senators short of a quorum, according to Kate Kondayen, a spokeswoman for Brown.
At least some of the senators have left the state, according to a statement from the Oregon Senate Republicans, and the wife of one of them says they are all in Idaho at an undisclosed location.
"They all left and are in Idaho. I don't have a way of contacting him," Peggie Boquist, wife of Oregon GOP Sen. Brian Boquist, told CNN when asked the location of her husband.

12 people holding the whole state hostage. Definitely sounds like a GOP tactic.Here in the State of "Tyranny", formerly known as "Oregon", we have a very interesting and disgusting situation going on.
Let me give a quick background.
We have a very liberal Dimocrat governor (Kate Brown).
Both of our legislative chambers are ran by Dimocrats, and in fact they have a super-majority in BOTH chambers.
They pretty much can do whatever the fuck they want, and Republicans can only sit and watch. Even when all GOP lawmakers agree to stick together and vote as a block, they're votes are useless to stop this insane progressive agenda.
That is until yesterday...………………………………………………………………..
The fucking Oregon House Dims passed a radical cap and trade bill that is going to skyrocket fuel taxes, and shut down some industries as well as increase power rates across the board.
The bill went to the state Senate, which as I mentioned earlier is controlled by a Dim super-majority.
A celebration was all set up, since everyone knew it was just a formality for the Oregon Senate to send the bill directly to the leftist nut governor who would quickly sign it.
Problem is, NONE of the Republican state Senators showed up for the vote, and since they needed at least two to cast their NO votes, before the Dims could steam roll the bill through, the vote never took place.
Now is where it gets just fucking bizarre.
The governor had her lawyers check to see if she could sent the State Police to arrest at least two of them and bring them back to the capitol.
Reports are that the GOP Senators may all have left the state.
This is the only tool available to stop this tyrannical rule that has been going on all this legislative session.
I am proud of these Republicans, and hope they remain standing tall !!
Oregon sends police to bring back Republicans who left state over climate bill
Washington (CNN)Oregon Democratic Gov. Kate Brown on Thursday authorized state police to locate Senate Republicans and bring them back to the state Capitol after some left the state to block the chamber's proceedings.
After more than eight hours of fruitless negotiations late into Wednesday night, Republican state senators in Oregon walked out of a session on Thursday over disagreements on HB 2020, a cap and trade climate bill. All 11 GOP senators failed to appear later Thursday for floor proceedings, leaving the legislative body two senators short of a quorum, according to Kate Kondayen, a spokeswoman for Brown.
