Tee It Up
It’s screw around and find out time in Texas.
The Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton impeachment trial starts in Texas today.
Votes from two-thirds of the Senate, where Republicans hold a 19-12 majority, will be needed to permanently remove Paxton from office. If he’s convicted, senators can also vote to bar him from holding elected office in Texas again.
I am watching on You Tube from CBS Texas. (Just a personal note, my son gave me a pair of Bose over the ear wireless headphones that he used during trial prep. I flat love them.)
I’m gonna be honest with you. Paxton is not the biggest crook to ever hold office in Texas. Not even close. But he ranks near the top of sleaziest. He’s a petty little bastard and being so, he’s embarrassing his fellow Republicans, who are so much more big time bastards.
This trial has everything, bribery, extortion, fancy vacations, free home improvements, really risky sex, and an assortment of outrageous characters. You might enjoy dropping in from time to time. This morning, they are having motion hearings – which is about as exciting as watching paint dry.
Well, one thing we did see while watching the motion hearings is that the Democratic Senators always voted as a block, never wavering; that some Republican Senators will always vote to defend Paxton regardless of the facts; and that other Republican Senators just might be willing to make their final decisions based on those facts.
1One of those facts that some gop Senators are considering is that he is an arrogant jerk and they don’t like him and if he is gone there’s more room at the top for ME.
2Prolly never have happened ‘cept for The Lege being on the hook for that $3 million whistleblower settlement.
3Since I’m so far away and don’t really give a rat’s azz what the Rethugs in Texas are doing (besides your idiot Guv shipping immigrants in buses to DC on his whim), I don’t know the deets on what Paxton is accused of; so, I’m gonna be all ears after lunch when the charges are read.
4JJ, your last sentence contains some of the same elements that Mr ginny Thomas has done and still does as a supreme (as do one or more rwnj supremes).
5Thanks JJ for the new daytime Texas soap opera version of a Jerry Springer style ‘The Price Is Right’ !
6I also love over the ear wireless headphones!
OOOHHH, Paxton’s lawyer reminds me of nobody more than that idiot who defended Alex Jones against your boy. That slicked-back hair is a dead give away.
7Old Tony Buzbee has that spray-on tan that makes him SO credible.
8Tony Buzbee is a clone of Trump’s lawyer, Joe Tacopina. Same hair, same tan, same attitude. Must go with the territory.
9TexasTrailerParkTrash @9, Members of the MLA, Mob Lawyers Association…has various codes to follow; or you get a warning, one warning…
10Buzbee is also running for my district council seat – pleeeeze no!
11Well, I never . . . thought I would ever see Paxton sweat! This whole soap opera seems to have been laying forever.Its amazing how the R’s just love to eat their own – and in public!
12State impeachments are so rare that even those of us who think Texas politics reached peak entertainment value in the days of Ma Ferguson will be following this one.
I gotta say, though, that for a Texas pol, Paxton is s colorless as gin.
13Friends,
14These comments are all well and good but from the nose bleed
seats in Oregon I want some details on “really dangerous sex”
being in any way involved with any of these creepy GOPpers.
Would that be with rabid animals? I CANNOT imagine any man
or woman consenting to any type of sex with any of them.
