Much of this about Paxton was already known before he won re-election last November. One might hope Texas voters might collectively take a look at themselves and ask themselves how they could elect a criminal who is completely unsuited for public service but history tells us they probably won't.

RIGHT! He was indicted by the feds in 2015 and still hasn't went to trial.

Bigotry doesn't like information so let me help you with this....

In an unanimous decision, a Republican-led House investigative committee that spent months quietly looking into Paxton recommended impeaching the state's top lawyer on 20 articles, including bribery, unfitness for office and abuse of public trust.

....................................
let's repeat this part.

In an unanimous decision, a Republican-led House investigative committee .

** I know how you people love to abuse language and will attempt to indict me as a firm supporter of paxton for simply pointing out the fallacy of your biased remark...so go ahead....do your thing....and feel proud to make up all the ---- you want.

I guess the republican led committee could have paid off 51 agents to lie about the charges.

or perhaps intimidate or pay off corporate media to "lose it" or blame it on russia....

talk about bipartisan...

have a wonderful day.

Not just Texas, but the entire MAGA movement.

calling a republican led committee that called for impeachment of a long time republican MAGA...

is as stupid and illiterate as the despicable and worthless male senator from new york calling a 9-0 supreme

court vote a MAGA verdict.

just like the other terms and ignorant "definitions"...time for leftists to get a new playbook...

I bet you can use the one from 'the view'....

You seem to be reacting to the use of the term "MAGA". Like you're ashamed.

That's actually a very good sign.

" Bigotry doesn't like information so let me help you with this...."

You left out the part where he was indicted SEVEN YEARS ago.

You know, the salient part. SpeakSoftly's claim is accurate.

Get back to us when your party rejects the leader that literally attempted a fascist coup.

If there were any chance that paxton would be replaced by an ethical republican or democrat he wouldn't be impeached.

It's really incredible how MAGA morons will view the corrupt POSes in their party as purely partisan victims while doing nothing but making up partisan nonsense about Dems.

Lie to smear good people while lying to protect and deflect for bad people. All while being "Chreestian."

that's not even close to what I said. I didn't say he was guilty or innocent...so just like so many others, you lie to make some

illiterate point with no basis in fact.. you worthless hack.

which proves that you're what I've known for some time.... a despicable liar.

and the gop majority house voted to impeach paxton which makes you and the other bigots look even dumber.

Now they just need 9 GOP Senators to vote to convict and they have something.

Hey dumbfuq, why have you ignored the fact Paxton was indicted SEVEN YEARS AGO?

Are you sure you should be throwing stones from that glass house?

How bad do you have to be to be tossed from office in Texas, a state that still honors Cruz and Gohmert.
