The case, which was brought by Texas and joined by other Republican-led states, sought to overturn the results in four states won by President-elect Joe Biden. The courtreleased Friday, Allen West, the Texas GOP chairman, said in tossing the lawsuit, the court "has decreed that a state can take unconstitutional actions and violate its own election law."

So much for that “party of Lincoln” bs.

So, now they're talking secession? GOP has truly lost it.

This negro is actually talking about secession. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Good Riddance Texas...bye bye!!

Is this the guy that tortured people in Iraq telling the rest of the country that he's mad at the election results? Torturer turned traitor is a bad look.

Every 4 years we vote for a new president or the same one. This gnashing of teeth and carrying on about how there will never be another election comes from the propaganda, lies, and hyperbole Trump has been pushing throughout his administration.

Whatever happened to accepting the decisions of our high court even if we don’t agree with them? You can’t say that you’re a patriot or that you believe in this country’s ideals if you don’t accept the process by which we resolve disputes.

I'm hinting at boycotting all businesses based in Texas. Pass it on.

All because a failed reality show host, got clobbered & lost an election? He showed no interest in the job when he had it, couldn’t keep a team together to save his life, committed a bunch of crimes along the way, and it was just dumb luck he won in 2016 anyway!

They always talk about how large the state's economy is...Just let Texas pay 100% for it's infrastructure, it's military, etc., and we'll see how good things look.

Meh..do it GOP

Texans think Texas is the best state ever because most of them have only been to Oklahoma

Russia has won. It succeeded in tearing the (United) States apart. History may show how Trump and his party were just puppets outplayed by the chess played in Moscow.

The rest of America could only be so lucky.

That’s why they’re the lone state!!

Is this what “so much winning” looks like?
