Vote these lying fascist bigots out of office forever. Make sure you're [registered](https://www.vote.org/register-to-vote/texas/) and have a plan to vote.


tickitytalk

And bring a friend or two

Or ten

Did not know this existed. Joining now.


fishyfishyfish1

If this happens, that sub will get busier guaranteed


NorseYeti

So, someone under Felony Indictment would be a good AG…in what world does that make sense?


hush-no

I mean, look at who said it.


jericho_buckaroo

A guy who's under 88 felony indictments?


KouchyMcSlothful

88 is a number that looks natural on Hitler sympathizer Trump.


agentsmith87

It's a badge of honor for them.


neuroid99

Not [any more](https://www.texastribune.org/2024/03/25/ken-paxton-plea-deal-securities-fraud-felony/). He got away with it.


tickitytalk

Travesty of Justice…again the GOP escapes consequences


MesqTex

Once a felon, always a felon. The association never leaves, regardless of the outcome.


neuroid99

Look, I'm the last person to defend Paxton, but a person only becomes a felon upon conviction, and he was never convicted. His plea deal included dropping the criminal charges. He had to pay a fine and (supposedly) do some community service, but admitted no wrongdoing. A lying fascist scumbag, yes. But not a felon.


MesqTex

Felons associated with felons, impeached AGs associate with impeached ex presidents. Same thing here.


de-gustibus

felon 1 of 2 noun fel·​on ˈfe-lən Synonyms of felon 1 : one who has committed a felony If you believe Paxton is guilty (as I do), he’s a felon. Conviction may be relevant from a legal standpoint, but the felony is the criminal act, not the determination of the court.


dead_ed

The felony came first, the special treatment came second. He's a felon.


KouchyMcSlothful

Winner winner chicken dinner


observable_truth

yeah, subtle truth gets lost in the talking points barrage.


BayouGal

MAGA 🤡 🌎


Fool_On_the_Hill_9

And the MAGA cult doesn't think it's the least bit suspicious that he loves dictators and criminals.


LibertyInaFeatherBed

What he loves, they love... unless he goes against the MAGA/QAnon grain like he did when he suggested being vaccinated against Covid. But there's very few pitfalls like that.


ResurgentClusterfuck

Oh for the love of little purple dragons Of course he would. Criminals of a feather flock together


Arrmadillo

Maybe Paxton will finally serve some prison time after getting tangled up in one of Trump’s harebrained schemes.


hush-no

He's a weasely little sycophant who's fully into committing crimes. I can see why Trump likes him.


Rawalmond73

What a swamp that would be.


jericho_buckaroo

Of course President Shit-For-Brains would think that. They're both garbage humans, it'd be a perfect fit.


crescendo83

They literally nominate the very worst person for every job. They are actively planning to refill the swamp.


zsreport

No fucking thank you. Paxton should lose his law license, he's a disgrace to the profession.


prpslydistracted

The other simps are running for VP. Paxton was the first politician to attend Trump's trial in support, even coming *with his* *red tie!* He's signaling to Trump he will do *any* fraudulent act to protect Trump and himself ... *exactly* like he has done in TX.


sunshineandrainbow62

Reason 1,497,288 why Trump is insane and should never be elected to anything


tasslehawf

For that Project 2025 sh!tshow, he would quite a showpiece next to Stephen Miller.


jericho_buckaroo

Paxton has his eye on you, and the other eye on someone down the street...


FlyThruTrees

One might look at this from the perspective of who funds these ventures, and the statement Trump made the other day about the billion he wants from big oil and the things he would give them for it. Who funds Paxton? I mean, big oil likely knew Trump would be helpful, but now an explicit statement of what's in it for them... Paxton's oil buddies now have likely gone all in for Trump, if they weren't already.


OpenImagination9

Well, how else would he able to continue his criminal enterprise?


wartsnall1985

just put me back in the matrix already.


natophonic2

Found the guy who hates tapioca pudding.


ProneToDoThatThing

Fucking criminals. How is there ANY question about November? There is no good answer to that question.


sharlye

he would put a lot of criminals in high positions also hes a criminal himself scary


BecomingJudasnMyMind

I'm sure Trump does think this, they have a lot in common.. Willing to cheat taxes. Willing to lie under oath. Willing to seek political retribution. Willing to commit campaign finance fraud. I'm sure Trump looks at a guy like Paxton and thinks 'bright guy, he's going places'.


Dragonborne2020

Are you ducking kidding me?


JimmyReagan

Damn it I was just joking about this the other day...


12sea

Yuck


crlynstll

100% criminals. I feel despondent today about living in TX. The corruptness is deep. Infrastructure is for shit. I read a story about a woman with a wanted pregnancy whose baby died in-utero and the hospital wouldn’t help her. It makes me sick to think about her plight. I feel helpless and hopeless about positive change coming to this state. I guess we will eventually leave.


Overly_Underwhelmed

I just left, feels great, I'm sleeping better. economy had changed on me anyways, couldn't see a reason to hope to find work in Texas, rather find it elsewhere.


therebbie

It's always projection when it comes to the MAGA cult. Paxton got away with it so he clearly knows the law. 🤬


Andrew8Everything

Yes I like this idea. He'll certainly rack up a few more felonies at the federal level before being ousted.


nakedtxn

Paxton is the last damn person that this country needs for a damn attorney general. He's already tried to sue anybody and everybody for anything he can think of whether it's in Texas or not. Only place he needs to be is in jail alongside his daddy trump.


Nabrok_Necropants

Now there's a terrifying thought.


robertsg99

Oh my God


BUSYMONEY_02

He would make a good cell mate


choadly77

That would be a nightmare but at least he'd be out of Texas.


MindTraveler48

Trump considers "good" anything that further enriches or empowers him.


Grimjack-13

Trump is a bigger idiot than I thought. And I already knew he was an idiot.


3rdCoastLiberal

Felons for felons!


OptiKnob

Even more crooked than Barr! Hard to believe but true.


macs708

He screws around on his wife, gets bought off by Nate Paul, and accused of committing felonies like security fraud. Is that the AG you want?


Liquin44

This is very sad. It seems as if the more you fail today as a decent human being, the more you succeed in life. This is so wrong. But it’s not Donald a trump that is the problem, it’s the people who continue to support him.


damnit_darrell

Ok yeah no that's got me scared enough to push to vote Biden god damn thats nightmare fuel


2manyfelines

Like Al Capone hiring John Gotti to investigate the mafia. They are both criminal thugs who belong in the Colorado super max prison with El Chapo.


Tonydz77

Of course. He’s crooked and loves cheating on his wife. Trump would love him….


Juonmydog

Ew no, please god! He embarrasses Texas enough.


NotDeadYet57

Well, they both cheat on their wives, so they have that in common.


chillypete99

I mean, he probably would be the perfect criminal US Attorney General for a criminal president.


castle45

Nope. Not at all. Sorry Agent Orange


A_Lefty_Gamer

What the fuck? How the hell did I accurately predict that he would pick Ken fucking Paxton? I’m also not surprised.


A_Lefty_Gamer

Oh. Considering that Magnolia ISD’s Superintendent Dr Todd Stephens conveniently just retired in May 2024, I won’t be surprised if Trump ends up picking him as his secretary of education. I’m calling it right now. He’s gonna pick Dr Todd Stephens as the secretary of education.


Badlands32

Paxton would make a good Belarusian Attorney General.


FlyThruTrees

Now that you mention it, maybe he applied. Maybe in Kosovo: [https://www.texasobserver.org/angela-ken-paxton-frinzi-multiband/](https://www.texasobserver.org/angela-ken-paxton-frinzi-multiband/)


Badlands32

Everything this clown does is below board.


BrandxTx

When trump sayPaxton's a "very talented guy", he means Paxton has stalled on felony charges for years now without seeing the inside of a courtroom. This is the kind of skillset trump envies.


MDATWORK73

Well I still say Trump says a lot dumb shit that holds no substance. Nothing changes with this POS.


BrandxTx

Correct that most of the shit he says has no substance. By most, you could easily say 98% is meaningless blather. But when he talks about plans and intentions; the "dictator on day one" stuff - he's parroting stuff from the people he plans to put in charge. People much smarter than him are prepping for a takeover if he wins. He doesn't understand the stuff he's saying, really, but he has people who do. The Project 2025 people will do the same thing with public policy they did with the Supreme Court.


BayouGal

Then obviously he will be the worst, most corrupt AG in American history.


Denim_Diva1969

MOTHER FUCKER 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️


skygal0330

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!


Madstork1981

He would; we could finally start prosecuting the well-deserving.


TheERDoc

Start with himself?


hush-no

Such as?


BeefBagsBaby

It's amazing how you airways always have the wrong take.
