Actually the politicians will still get their paychecks since it's mandated by the Texas constitution (they get $7,200 per year). Most have other jobs since you can't live off that. The perks of being an elected politician are in the "gifts" that lobbyists give.
Where the pain comes is that tens of thousands of legislative staff (who are mostly leftists) won't get their paychecks until dems cave. Once dims caves they'll get back pay for the days they missed, but only when the dims cave (and they will). Abbott has them by the throat. Even 538 admitted that the dims won't be able to stop the voting laws from passing.
They said, "Well, the dims denying a quorum shines attention on it". That ONLY works if voters agree with you. MSM can pretend all they want, but voters in Texas want stronger voting laws.
Dims know damn well that if the fraud in Houston, Dallas and Austin is stopped they'll be wiped out of any influence they had in the Texas lege. Fraud is the only thing they got. Texas is not turning blue. Biden did not get 5 million votes in Texas.
I could believe he got 3.2 million, but 5 million was utter nonsense. Trump stomped Hillary in 2016 even though she cheated like mad in Texas. Biden's people cheated to the extreme (5 million, c'mon man!) and Trump still stomped on them.
He actually vetoed the paychecks of the staffers. Not saying he did not do a good thing, but if I read it correctly, the lawmakers will get paid on time.
Also savage. Democrats and lefties want their way all the time.
Sorry, sore f-king losers. You leave before your business is complete, you don't get paid, and you shouldn't get paid.
Sometimes actions have consequences.
Their calling him a dictator for this. Sorry, that's your governors.
Vetoes are raccciiiisssss! (unless we do it)
Libs: ruh, roh
Unfortunately they will still get their checks, just later next month probably, with back pay.

Good for him. We need more governors with spines.

Baller move!!!
Now who's your daddy?

True and let's see how much they get done if their staffers abandon them for not getting paid.
Unfortunately they probably view themselves as noble martyrs.
