2. Figures Carnival Cancun Cruz would want to protect a corrupt AG

After all the Texas AG meddled in other state’s elections in 2020, which he had no business doing.


Defend the corruption at all costs, even if it means Texans taxpayers foot Paxton’s legal troubles.

3. 'the abuses of the Biden admin' - please list and explain, using factual evidence.

Not your ‘feelings,’ nor Bannon-approved talking points.

Then list and explain ‘the good things Trump did for America.’ Facts only.

Lastly what good have you done for everyday Texans?

6. +1. Good argument and impossible task.

4. Ted. Fucking. Cruz.

You can always count on Ted to do the wrong thing.

5. How do other Senators feel about Ted Cruz?

[Hortensis]

7. Republican senators always despised and distrusted too.

Cruz's survival all these years is a wonder, but he's managed to get worst people supporting him for worst reasons.

AND, survival's a lesson in the need to be very careful about who we give this kind of power to.

9. It would be a close vote to see who is more disliked in Texas-Carnival Cruz or Ken Paxton

[Hortensis]

12. Lol, and not worth the energy deciding. If only

getting rid of a bad mistake of a senator could be as close and doable a vote.

Badly screwed Republican voters aren't the only ones capable of joining corrupt powers to reelect a troublemaker because he or she's keeping government from working well.

8. cruz is the travesty.

10. Hopefully it will sink

14. shitbirds of a feather.................

15. ugh... I can hear Ted Cruz speaking this outloud in THAT VOICE

with the dramatic pause

16. So I went back and looked at the video of Speaker Phelan that seemed to kick this off.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100217934190

It was tweeted out by someone named Greg Price, who cites something called the State Freedom Caucus network in his Twitter “about”. It was retweeted by the Collin County GOP, where Paxton is from, and Paxton released a statement calling for Phelan’s resignation soon after.

Yet nobody in the room where it happened seems the least bit concerned and I’m not aware of any other prominent Texas Republicans calling for Phelan to resign.

There’s also a weird glitchy thing that happens in the lower half of Phelan’s face around 19 seconds. Could that video be altered? Did Paxton try and create a fake scandal for Speaker Phelan before the news came out on the investigation of Paxton???

17. Not exactly a full-throated condemnation

A little more aggressive than Dan Patrick's fence-ride a couple days ago but still, not much of condemnation.

18. The treason caucus looks after one another.

Both Trump and Cruz defended the long-indicted Paxton by pointing to his recent reelection and attacking his attackers. Both cited his opposition to Biden and MAGA credentials without addressing any of the allegations against him.

Trump posted this on Truth Social:

“The RINO Speaker of the House of Texas, Dade Phelan, who is barely a Republican at all and failed the test on voter integrity, wants to impeach one of the most hard working and effective Attorney Generals in the United States, Ken Paxton, who just won re-election with a large number of American Patriots strongly voting for him. You would think that any issue would have been fully adjudicated by the voters of Texas, especially when that vote was so conclusive.”

About an hour earlier, Cruz threw down for Paxton on Twitter as a victim of the Republican-controlled “swamp in Austin.”

“For the last nine years, Ken has been the strongest conservative AG in the country. Bar none. No attorney general has battled the abuses of the Biden admin more ferociously—and more effectively—than has Paxton. That’s why the swamp in Austin wants him out. The special interests don’t want a steadfast conservative AG. Virtually all of the information in the articles was public BEFORE Election Day, and the voters chose to re-elect Ken Paxton by a large margin.”
