The party of law and order. What a surprise.
Law and order for thee not me. -GOP

Everyone in Texas that I know is furious about this (except for my dad, who stuck his head in the sand at about the same time my parents ended their physical subscription to the Dallas Morning News; he insists that both parties bad, though I can’t imagine he actually still believes that, I think he’s just coping). However we’re too locked into the republican party at this point to really be able to do anything. Thanks to federal judges for ruling that gerrymandering is legal when it only affects party voters, our districts are fucked.
The Republicans have realized that our laws, our constitution and it’s amendments, and our treaties, are all just pieces of paper. They archive historical agreements which we’ve decided to abide by, but they have no power themselves. As such, they stop being a problem if you just ignore them.
Sadly nature gets to vote on the future of Texas, and while I’m sure Jerrell can be enshrined as the F5 limit in Texas law, how does San Antonio sound as a counter offer.
Fucking disgusting
What a fucking surprise.
The surprise was that it was his own party that started impeachment proceedings.
They backed off once they realized that it had national attention.
Corruption is a core trait of a conservative politician. Condemning him for corruption would have been the same as condemning him for being a conservative.
Right they’re all bad, but we’re all good, LMAO.
Who are you calling “we”? A quick check of your comment history shows you are a conservative.
Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Your words are of no value to me.
I’m also a registered Democrat. You assume so much.
As I said before, every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. In this case, it’s deception.
LOL. Not sure who you think you’re fooling.
Honestly, not a joke. I’ve been a registered Democrat since the late 80s…even voted for slick Willy Clinton…twice.
How would that prevent you from being a conservative?
It doesn’t. I’m just saying I vote for whoever I think is the best option at the time. Following a hard party line is a fools game.
Sounds vile. It was surprising they even brought charges against him. Maybe how he individually threatened lawmakers about their reelection (or who knows what else) helped him. Or perhaps whatever persuaded the woman who had the affair to not testify (could it be witness intimidation perhaps?).
Republicans brought charges just to acquit, because he can’t face trial again due to double jeopardy.
He can face a criminal trial if he’s charged. But he probably won’t be, since he’s the attorney general.
It’s not a criminal trial, double jeopardy does not apply.
Impeachment doesn’t trigger double jeopardy, all it can do is kick you out of office or not

I wonder how many cocks Paxton sucked to get the acquittal.
Getting a feeling this impeachment trial was a signal to other GOP incumbents — do not fuck with our O&G masters.
Whatever. Texas gonna Texas.
Absolutely vile. I really need to move out of this shithole state.
Take me with youuuuu
I hear Portland is like Austin, but with better weather and a power grid that actually works. I’m considering making the move very soon, honestly.
I’ve spent time in both. I don’t know if there’s more Nazis in Portland, but it definitely seems like there are more Nazis in Portland.
You notice the Nazis in Portland because they stand out rather than fit in.
That is an excellent observation.
We’ve got a pretty bad Nazi problem here in Austin, too. The fuckers keep putting up their racist stickers around parks where children play. Abso-fucking-lutely disgusting.
The mosquitos in portland are delightful. I lived there in high school and had one land on me, look around a bit, and fly off. I didn’t have the heart to kill it.
historic to no one but the clown circus that is the texas legislature. seriously people look it up, the rules are bonkers. im surprised entire state functions as ‘well’ as it does.
GOP the party of criminals.
They are who we thought they were.
Fucking absurd.
Historic in that it will be a mile post in the decline of Texas in history books outside the Dumb South.
