Ah darn, now Biden can get sued again. *Snap*
This was all a very strange episode.
Let the wrath and the vengeance and the reckoning begin....
(popcorn time)
A big FU to Blue Texas
Embrace the suck, Soros,
Neil is the biggest turn in the punch bowl of the Bush Cartel. Old Babs used to be....
Dan Patrick also took the house to the woodshed. He had to keep quiet before and during the trial but after it was over he laid into them.
Please clap.
“I’ll see you at the signing” broke me!
Deeply regret voting for George W.
….and his daughter is a piece of work, totally classless
Attempted Insurrection Fails, Paxton to empanel Grand Jury..
When do we see that headline??
Somebody posted somewhere yesterday if he was aquitted the Texas Bush dynasty was dead they need to move to MAINE an get over it ! ha ha! Paxton is a Trump guy!

PS only two Republicans voted with the Dems to impeach!
LEX
All 12 D’s voted mostly to convict.
2 R’s voted mostly to convict.
16 Rs voted to acquit.
1 R (Mrs. Paxon) was required to abstain.
The closest votes were 16 to 14 to acquit.
Charge #4 only got 2 votes to convict, #8 9 votes, #9 11 votes, and #5 13 votes.
Four of the original 20 charges were dismissed.
Again, we find out that “impeachment” is only a finding of probable cause. The lower house acts like a grand jury. The standard of proof necessary for removal - though not necessarily “beyond a reasonable doubt” as in a criminal trial - is significantly higher.
Now it’s time for Paxton to throw down the gauntlet and target his political opponents in the same way democrats have weaponised their offices. Give them a real taste of their own medicine and become a trail maker for the MAGA movement.

The Bushes did not have their ducks in the appropriate row. Problem is there were no ducks.
Vote the Bushites out in Texas.

after the full acquittal by the majority of the Senate in the #PaxtonimpeachmentTrial.
Every Texan needs to listen to what he said and how he said it.
This might be the most important speech made by a lieutenant governor in Texas history.
May the retribution begin.
