As you’re probably aware, Republican RINOs in the Texas House have impeached Ken Paxton, arguably the most popular and effective Attorney General in the nation. Paxton was laser focused on challenging the Biden administration at every turn — and not through empty rhetoric or heated tweets — but through old-fashioned, traditional litigation. Naturally, the GOP establishment united to take him down. The silver lining is that, so far, Paxton has secured the backing of eight out of the ten Texas Senators he’ll need to overcome this unjust political witch hunt.
...
There’s an impeachment going on in the Texas legislature now. Attorney General Ken Paxton is being targeted on allegations of bribery and such.
But the case also has been described as largely political by critics and as the proceedings begin, he already has support from eight of the 10 state senators he would need to be cleared.
That’s the number who voted that most of the case should be thrown out because the events happened before his most recent election.
He was voted to trial in the state Senate by a vote in the state House, and is facing 16 counts related to misuse of his office.
A commentary from WND columnist Andy Schlafly charged that the case was an “ambush impeachment” and an “undemocratic assault on the will of voters.”
They had returned him to the AG’s office by some 800,000 votes last year.
And there’s additional good news. Paxton’s legal team is effectively dismantling the Regime RINOs who are protecting Biden and attempting to bring down Paxton.
...
This entire impeachment farce reeks of the same kind of political weaponization directed at President Trump. The moment anyone poses a real threat to the uni-party regime, politicians from both sides start circling the wagons. We’re watching this unfold with both President Trump and Ken Paxton. Remember, these RINOs aren’t committed to an America First agenda. They’re globalists whose objectives align seamlessly with left-wing tyrants, and they’ll go to any lengths to protect their own. The bottom line is this: we won’t truly win until we cleanse the party of these disloyal dirtbags.
RINOs have no place on the Right. Perhaps they could represent an improvement in the Democrat Party.
Until they vote.
Tony Buzbee is going to have a lot of fun on this so-called “impeachment”.
1) When is the vote?
2) What’s the future of Paxton if he’s not guilty as I expect? An uphill battle for gov or successor to Cornyn?
The House’s witness today, Bangert was more damaging to Paxton this morning, but he is now being destroyed under cross by Paxton’s 30 year old defense attorney.
Lazy treasonous nihilistic backstabbing self-serving do nothing blobs of useless blubber are an improvement on democrats? At least the democrats are good socialists. These RINOs are good for nothing.
The witness really sounds off my gaydar.
The RINO’s in Texas, think of themselves as “Revenge of the Nerds”.
I know that Texas leans Democrat in the major cities, especially Austin, but to have enough votes convict?
(After all, Texas did elect Ann Richards as Governor...)
By impeaching Paxton, he has been suspended from office. This means someone else is running the show in the AG’s office until this gets thrown out. As with Lake’s lawsuit in AZ, the RINOs are collaborating with the Dems to sabotage the MAGA movement.
“1) When is the vote?”
Later. The donor class in TX just wants this to drag out a bit, they really don’t care about the outcome/conviction.
As Steve Bannon said, this is just the Bush-Junta getting their pound of flesh for Paxton knocking the Bush out of the AG spot last election...
One day after the assistant AGs resigned, George P. Bush applied to have his law license after allowing it to lapse for over 10 years.
Probably just a coincidence, /sarcasm
People get elected from counties around the state. They get to Austin and are wined and dined and told how great their future is as an elected official.
Their head swells from new found greatness and these new friends in Austin are just too eager to show them how to vote.
Happened in our county as Orr got there and happily shed here conservative clothing.
Another reason the uniparty wants to get rid of Paxton is he files lawsuits against the biden admin regularly.
The good thing is the RINO’s are easy to identify now.
Election day is RINO season.
The Bush Family is part of the same CIA corruption behinf the deep state.
Former director of the CIA. Heck even the charter service the CIA used for the Bay of Pigs fiasco was Bush owned.
Bush would serve for a year as the director of the Central Intelligence Agency in the mid-1970s, but, as Joseph McBride reported in The Nation in 1988, his involvement with the agency had started much earlier. In November 1963, shortly after the assassination of John F. Kennedy, FBI director J. Edgar Hoover wrote a memo to the State Department describing the briefing of “Mr. George Bush of the Central Intelligence Agency” on the reaction to the assassination by anti-Castro Cuban exiles in Miami (it was feared by some that the exiles might take advantage of the chaotic situation by initiating an unauthorized raid against Cuba). McBride also cited a source with close connection to the intelligence community who confirmed that, as McBride put it, “Bush started working for the agency in 1960 or 1961, using his oil business as a cover for clandestine activities.”
According to Phillips, “from Yale’s class of 1943 alone, at least forty-two young men entered the intelligence services” (Bush attended from 1945 to 1948), and nearly every major player involved in the Bay of Pigs invasion had been in Yale’s secret Skull and Bones society. By the time Bush became director of the CIA in 1976, Phillips writes, “three generations of the Bush and Walker families already had some six decades of intelligence-related activity and experience under their belts,” which apparently also involved a Mexico-CIA “money line” that made its way into “the hands of the Watergate burglars.”
Paxton is up against a Deep State operation.
IMO RINO's are Democrats, who infiltrated the Republican party.
I fly a texas state flag above my US flag here in PA because of Paxton’s lawsuit over the election crap.
Texas is massively republican. People like jobs in politics. If a lefty wants a job, they run under a flag of convenience, put an “R” by their name, and quietly find excuses and rationalizations for supporting abortion, windmills, solar, open borders, etc etc.
