Ken Paxton was indicted for scamming his own friends. He convinced them to invest hundreds of thousands in a company while secretly pocketing a commission. Paxton sold out his own friends for a quick buck. What makes you think he won't sell you out in the Senate?

Just like Trump, Paxton pardons pedophiles.

Considering it's Republicans who impeached him.

Perhaps he's the one plugging himself with scandal.

In Amerikkka, dysfunctional people now outnumber regular people.

Societies with majority functional people would not admire or elect pedophiles, warmongers, or oligarch protectors.

The fringe is now the norm in Amerikkka and the status quo MSM and Congress ("I got mine!") have allowed this to happen.

Paxton's divorce suit is coming up. I suspect his wife will seek for Kenny Boy to be publicly pegged as part of the settlement. A special OnlyFans page will be set up, with all proceeds going to the Missus. Should rake in millions...

Headline fail.

Should read, "Ken Paxton Gaslights Voters."

There's gonna be a lot of it between now and November.

Turds and SHRIMPdick will definitely vote for Ken Paxton the Pedophile Protector.

The Republican Party embraced pedophilia so quickly, one has to wonder if they ever truly opposed it

This is a test to see just how stupid Texas is and has become.

Texas has been governed by Republicans for the past 30 years but Texans keep blaming Democrats for their shhthole state.

Republicans really are the dumbest people in America.

-Texans keep blaming Democrats for their shhthole state.

Yeah, they complain a lot.

Mostly about things that they end up breaking.

Like the border of a state that's been controlled by Republicans for 30 years

And lives, and marriages, and children, and careers, and toilets.

We have a situation where we're looking very strongly at sinks and showers and other elements of bathrooms where you turn the faucet on -- and in areas where there's tremendous amounts of water, where the water rushes out to sea because you could never handle it, and you don't get any water. You turn on the faucet and you don't get any water. They take a shower and water comes dripping out. Just dripping out, very quietly dripping out. People are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times, as opposed to once.
