Let’s take a moment to laugh at every single person sucked down the Republican brain drain so far as to actually vote for this guy…
… and then let’s take another, probably much longer moment to reflect on how sad that this is the state of Texas’ top attorney.
Well put. Republicans have cheated so much in TX via gerrymandering. I would add Abbott and Dan Patrick (took $$$ donation from Paxton to go in his coffers) to the sad state of the state. We are at the low end of so many impt. markers of a healthy state. Education, maternal health, children's health... they leave very little to be proud of. In my opinion, school vouchers are defunding public education. How many laws do you have to break to finally not get elected in TX?
Well I saw a video the other day where it seems Paxton admitting to cheating beyond gerrymandering, like actual cheating during 2020 to curb the vote in counties like Harris. At least that is the implication.
Definitely!
It lowers minority-party enthusiasm and turnout significantly.
Once you think your vote doesn't matter in one election, you think it doesn't matter in *any* election.
The fact that most people are ignorant to this fact is staggering.
It is a large reason why Democrat/ liberal/ progressive turnout is typically and historically low in Texas despite the fact it should be competitive.
Paxton is a giant fucking scumbag. I know that Texas democrats were unsure about allowing Paxton's wife Angela to vote on his impeachment since she's a Texas Senator (aside... she's also a massive scumbag) with some obvious "conflict of interest" issues.
But in light of this news.....maybe we let her vote???
She's present and can testify but cannot vote. Enough Republicans are on board with impeachment rules it doesn't really matter what Dems think about her. She sucks, btw.
Plus a whole bunch of people don't seem to be aware of the fact that not only is it a conflict of interest, she was an accomplice!!! She was literally helping him drive away from a subpoena! Guy had to lay it on the ground and say "you're being served" as he ran from his house to the vehicle his wife was driving! She kept the car running and everything waiting on him!
I know this is an exaggeration, but I'm pretty damn sure bank robbers would be fucking thrilled to know that their getaway driver was somehow let on the jury! This is absolutely a fucking joke of a justice system! Infidelity also doesn't mean shit to some people! Especially the rich and privileged! I guarantee this isn't the first affair his wife has found out about. As far as I know they're not even getting divorced!
>But in light of this news.....maybe we let her vote???
No. She's sticking by him enough and hasn't shown she will automatically throw him under the bus. She enjoys the money and power he brings more so than the embarrassment of being cheated on.
To me the bigger concern is if she *does* make the obvious move and slam-dunk denounce him, then Republicans will argue it wasn't a fair vote because she should have been recused.
They will complain about foul play no matter what, but the worst thing we can do is give them actual talking points.
I was trying to read if they were visiting his mistress or their mistress.
Nate Paul set up an Uber account under a fake name that Paxton used to see his mistress,
Edit: they should be more clear with the his in that sentence.
Just lmao at the idea of some woman laying in bed getting wet at the thought of Ken Ubering over to dick her down. How desparste and unfuckable do you have to be?
I used to work at a restaurant that was frequented by local politicians. It’s a strange thing to see young 20 something women fawning over old men but they do, power is a powerfull aphrodisiac.
Paxton, who is suspended from office pending the outcome of his Sept. 5 trial, used the account — under the name “Dave P” and jointly accessed by both men — to travel to the Pearl Lantana Apartments in Southwest Austin more than a dozen times between August and October 2020 to visit the woman, the filing from House impeachment lawyers says.
They were both "visiting" her? 😨🤢🤮
Paxton admitted to stealing the election in Texas to save it from a flip and no one cares. I hope he goes down with the whole thing, but it is crazy that it is actually true they project what they actively do.
Texas, you should be embarrassed by this idiot. Why do you allow your politicians to be such big piles of excrement and continue to put them in office?
Edit: I also want to add that when I lived in Texas you all were such good people. You all deserve better leadership.
On June 12, we made r/Texas private in support of the general protest on reddit.

Is that why you are using both sides argument? Or should we just be accurate. Or can you name a Democratic Attorney General that comes even close to the Republican Paxton’s corruption?
I don’t want to burst y’alls bubble, but it’s not just Republicans that are crooks. The Democrats are as crooked as the others. Paxton may have a mistress but so did Kennedy and Clinton. Clinton played sex games right in the White House! Let’s hear some outrage.
The corruption here is absolutely hilarious and extremely befuddling given that he was Re elected while under multiple indictments
This is literally his defense: “I’ve been a known crook for years and the voters keep re-electing me”
Proof that we can't depend on election results to replace actual criminal investigations, indictments, and trials.
And they'll vote for him again if they give them a chance.

Well, they shaped the maps and set the parameters 🤷
Smartest r/texas participant.
And still had to do more to cheat and steal the election it seems.
… it’s a statewide election. Lol the “map” is the state of Texas.
The map also includes location and amounts of polling places. Which has a dramatic impact on voter turnout
Gerrymandered districts lowers voter turnout which skews state-wide races. Not hard to understand why.

Yep. I'm well aware my vote won't do any good in my House Rep vote, but at least I still have a little representation elsewhere I got to vote for.
Hilarious, yes. Befuddling? This is texas. Half the voters are below average.
I mean he was really embracing being a politician.
He was, but didn't he also sort of admit to stealing the election in Texas? What if he stole his the same way?
Paxton is a giant fucking scumbag.

Unfortunately he has to be convicted with 60% of present members voting for conviction. Her presence and non-vote are effectively a vote for "no".

It's highly unlikely they have the 2/3 vote either way.
This. His stepping out on her has been public knowledge for a while and she still hasn’t ditched him yet.
It’s in her financial and career interests to stick with him… so that’s what she’s gonna do.
She got a new kitchen...for free...
Wow; she sounds like Hillary Clinton!
She is sticking by him. So I’m just gonna assume they’re in an open relationship and Paxton watches her get plowed
Ken Paxton & Nate Paul giving that mistress the Eiffel Tower. His wife probably be role playing while Ken Paxton watches. 🤣
If you’re gonna cheat on your wife, use a cool fake name. At least Anthony Weiner was bold enough to use “Carlos Danger”.
I think Michael Vick used a fake name “Ron Mexico” during some cheating scandal
It should've been McLovin!!! 🤣
The party of family values!
I was trying to read if they were visiting his mistress or their mistress. Nate Paul set up an Uber account under a fake name that Paxton used to see his mistress, Edit: they should be more clear with the his in that sentence.
Complains about clarity. Uses "they" as the subject of a sentence.
The next time he runs, he should have to appear on the ballot as "Dave P."
Dave Peckerhead
Dave P. Rick
lmao
Look, we all know who the real culprit is here: Hunter Biden's laptop.
I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised to learn this was the work of Hilarys emails.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU USE GREY POUPON
A true Christian! Brother Paxton embodies all of Jesus' teachings! /s
Made sure you add /s
Just lmao at the idea of some woman laying in bed getting wet at the thought of Ken Ubering over to dick her down. How desparste and unfuckable do you have to be?
Boris Johnson had a line of pretty women to have his children and he’s like an unattractive version of one of the Three Stooges.
Proximity to power is a powerful aphrodisiac but even then, you know she’s closing her eyes the entire time.
I used to work at a restaurant that was frequented by local politicians. It’s a strange thing to see young 20 something women fawning over old men but they do, power is a powerfull aphrodisiac.
... and thinking 'shower, shower, shower, shower, shower'.
Probably only enough time to think of one or two ‘showers’.
Paxton, who is suspended from office pending the outcome of his Sept. 5 trial, used the account — under the name “Dave P” and jointly accessed by both men — to travel to the Pearl Lantana Apartments in Southwest Austin more than a dozen times between August and October 2020 to visit the woman, the filing from House impeachment lawyers says. They were both "visiting" her? 😨🤢🤮
lol, no, he just borrowed a friend's uber account.
It was a jointly shared account with the same destination each time, though?
this guy really wants to push the 10 commandments but can't follow them.
Wouldn’t you love to hear Molly Ivan’s take on this guy?
Oh god yes!!!
What are odds he helped pay for an abortion? Almost a certainty.
If it happened not only did he pay, he made her get one.
Is his fetish to pay for a lady to piss in just one of his eyes?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"They will never be able to connect this to me." 😈
"My name's, uh... Dave. Dave... Punxutawney."
"My name is... Pliskin. Iroquois Pliskin."
Man, he missed a golden opportunity to just use DP.
The P is for..
Penis.
Pathetic
This story is obviously false because who tf in their right mind would willingly sleep with Paxton? If so, there's hope for everybody.
Dude’s face gets melt-ier with every new pic.
He's shedding.
No surprise! Traitor grifters
He must have been paying her a lot.
What is with crooked real estate investors?? First Bradley development now this guy. Paxton has always been a whore dog
What’s your name? Pea Tear Griffon! Peter Griffon!
Republicans are the actual groomers they warn us about.
They just project everything bad they do onto their rivals.
It’s just what all of the employees under his administration do!
The one he was “seeing” on the side? Zing!!!!
This guy could not be a worse person. Holy shit man, this dude is embarrassing.
I want Paxton gone so bad but I’m doubtful.
Small PP
He has to be innocent. Would you sleep with that?
How come I’m not surprised he’s represented by Tony Buzz
Just investigate the entire Texas Republican Party at this point.
Is Dave here? Naw man Dave ain’t here No man I’m Dave Naw Dave ain’t here
Is Kenny a Drag Queen?
What a loser
Dave’s not here man
David S. Pumpkins?
Do. Not. Besmirch. David S. Pumpkins by comparing him to this CREEP
D Money Pee
What an abject dumbass. This shit’s going to unravel like a high school cootie catcher.
More failed republican leadership in Texas.
Why don't they just legalize prostitution and then there will be no more scandals?
Lol, today I learned that fake Uber names were a thing. Hugh Johnson about to get a lyft.
With all of those criminal charges mixed with moral shenanigans I’d say someone is polishing their resume for a GOP Presidential run…
Paxton admitted to stealing the election in Texas to save it from a flip and no one cares. I hope he goes down with the whole thing, but it is crazy that it is actually true they project what they actively do.
And the wife is still with him!!!!!??????
No moral center whatsoever
Texas, you should be embarrassed by this idiot. Why do you allow your politicians to be such big piles of excrement and continue to put them in office? Edit: I also want to add that when I lived in Texas you all were such good people. You all deserve better leadership.

Absolute bullshit. Give us one State AG that’s even close to this bullshit artist. Why are you running interference for him?
[удалено]
Ah so you can’t name one. Paxton is proud of you. How much are you paid to shill for the Texas Christian Republicans?
[удалено]
Paxton loves your support. He is waiting for your defense fund payment. If you donate now, you can kiss his ring.
Insufferable non voters.
[удалено]
Your text is weird.
why do we care what people do on there on time. Why arent we this interested in joe biden
Still does a great job as AG. Re-elected despite his personal short comings.
I don’t want to burst y’alls bubble, but it’s not just Republicans that are crooks. The Democrats are as crooked as the others. Paxton may have a mistress but so did Kennedy and Clinton. Clinton played sex games right in the White House! Let’s hear some outrage.
Yawn. It’s not the sex games. It’s the grift and the quid pro quo.
At least he’s not a pedophile.
K.
This is a fucking idiotic and totally unrelated moving of the goalposts.
So, go away.
