Damn, lady. Just buy them a Nintendo and you definitely won’t have to hear about globes anymore. How bored must those kids be if a globe is the most exciting thing in their lives?

She can't help it. It's a family thing probably started by the spelling of her first name. That could ruin anyone's mind.

Well, put it this way, this isn’t even why they impeached him…

He opened a legal defense fund and accepted $100,000 from an executivewhose company was under investigation by Paxton’s office for Medicaid fraud. An additional $50,000 was donated by an Arizona retiree whose son Paxton later hired to a high-ranking job but was soon fired after trying to make a point by displaying child pornography in a meeting.

Oh this is a good one. Paxton is scum and has been indicted on felony charges, and has had whistleblowers from his office stand up against him. Of course he retaliated against that. None of that has lead to impeachment though.

Then he reached a settlement with the whistleblowers for $3.3 million and of course he wants to use taxpayer money to pay that. In comes Dade Phelan, speaker of the Texas House of Representatives who has been opposing using taxpayer money for this payment.

Still no impeachment.

Now, you may have heard of Dade Phelan, he decides to show up for work loaded to the gills last week. There is video of him drunker than a skunk presiding over a session. Paxton, seeing an opportunity to get rid of the guy who is standing in the way of his $3.3 million calls for Phelan's head.....

Now there is an impeachment....

tl.dr Banana Republic.

And Texas law says she is required to show up. Of course, it doesn't say she has to vote.

Not suprisingly, Trump is 100% in support of Paxton.  If they can impeach a guy just for corruption and bribe-taking, why, they could impeach ANYONE who does ANYTHING criminal!  And where will that end?  With all Trump's cronies out of office, that's where!

And of course a veritable brain trust of Trump supporters is echoing him, from Kyle Rittenhouse to Stephen Miller to Matt Gaetz to Ted Nugent.

I am really wondering how she will vote, considering one of the allegations is:

Paxton accepted a bribe by Paul's employment of a woman "with whom Paxton was having an extramarital affair", and in return Paxton used his office to help Paul

Yet another GOP sleazeball trying to take credit for legislation he voted against.

Be it a flag or the constitution Republicans are all about symbolism that fits their agenda of victim-hood and payback for perceived enemies real or imagined.

Hi Robert,

There are times when I wonder if Hawley is somehow related to Trump.  They both seem to suffer from the same mental defect.

Was it not hardline enough for the Freedom Caucus? Too soft and easy going for the Freedom Caucus?

Nope she called Representative Lauren Boebert a "little bitch". So felonies,lying, theft, etc. is all ok for republicans. Just don't call another republican a little bitch.

Meanwhile Boebert yelled "Bullshit!" during McCarthy's speech to the caucus, to which McCarthy responded "Goddammit!"
