You do realize that MAGA and DJT are now considered ‘enemies of the state’ right?
President Bribey told us so.
The WSJ had an article yesterday in which the authors, who obviously didn’t watch the trial, blamed the acquittal solely on “one party rule”.
“One-party dominance in a democracy means the main political debates occur in the ruling party, including personal political feuds. That explains the overwhelming decision by Republicans in the Texas state Senate on Saturday to acquit Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on 16 articles of impeachment filed by the Republican Texas House.”
What really happened Saturday is that Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who runs the state Senate, chose to rescue Mr. Paxton in a rebuke to his rival, House Speaker Dade Phelan. All politics is very local here.
We wrote at the beginning of the Senate trial that Mr. Patrick looked like he might examine the evidence with an open mind. He had kept quiet during the House debate. But we were wrong. It’s now obvious the fix was in from the start and that Mr. Patrick lobbied his fellow GOP Senators to unite against the House articles of impeachment. Only two GOP Senators voted to convict Mr. Paxton, and one of them is 78-year-old Robert Nichols, an independent-minded committee chairman.
Mr. Patrick’s bias was on display immediately after the Senate trial ended when he blamed it all in highly personal fashion on Mr. Phelan. “The Speaker and his team rammed through the first impeachment of a statewide-elected official in Texas in over 100 years while paying no attention to the precedent,” Mr. Patrick said. He added that the impeachment should never have happened and that he would move to rewrite the state constitution so it doesn’t happen like this again.”
Buzbee doesn’t actually answer questions. I suppose that is appropriate because those questions should be up to Paxton to address if he chooses to.
And now, its time for payback. Its time for the voters of Texas to primary and drive from office every single last corrupt RINO who voted for this. Time for the voters to organize against the RINO coup plotters, select good candidates and prepare to instigate a massive bloodbath in the Texas house and Senate Republican primaries coming up in a few months.
Only watching other RINOs having their political careers ended will start to make other RINOs think twice about going along with the establishment against the voters.
Uniparty members in the Texas House, ie those in the Bush league and Democrats, under the drunk Democrat Speaker of the House of Texas (disclaimer: he pretends to be a Republican, but is speaker solely due to Uniparty votes and appointed Rats to 40% of the Committee Chairs!), had not a single document of evidence, had not a single witness under oath, used secret and closed sessions against Texas House precedents, most of their “evidence” was from “investigators” who were not witnesses and not under oath whose “evidence” was hearsay of hearsay of hearsay which would never, in any court, be allowed to be presented, and gave members only hours to review this made up story. Those members were under pressure from the drunk Speaker to “vote the right way”.
In the Senate hearings, which I watched, once these “witnesses” were under oath, each and every one admitted that they had NO evidence. Once actual documents were produced into evidence and examined, those documents refuted the charges. This hearing did not require nor receive bias rulings from the Lt Gov. All this hearing needed was due process. Once due process was applied, there was NO evidence of wrong doing.
