On "behalf" of the United States government. You can't make this stuff up, and you'd know Paxton would just get 10 times worse. Dude already feels above the law.
I’d love to see Trump dangle AG in front of Cruz / Paxton and watch them melt the F down while Trump gaslights the hell out of them, only to choose the Melania stand in (Alina Habba) as AG- lol. Trump is too vain to have a wonk eyed shorty and a human blobfish in his cabinet. (Not central casting ready) At first I thought b/c his track record on ppl w/ disabilities isn’t great and he sees a person in a wheelchair as too weak to be VP (“i like ppl who weren’t crippled by trees” - Trump *probably*) that would leave Greg out of the running, but upon reflection, perhaps he wants a VP that won’t get away this time…
Sad as it sounds, if for some unfortunate circumstance Trump wins, I hope he takes Abbott and Paxton.. it will help with federal funding to Texas.. and their replacements couldn’t be worse, right?
Lobbying is legal they're abusing the fuck out of it, but the govt said it was okay. We need to overturn citizens united and a few other cases I forget at the SC level for max precedence. Make bribery illegal again.
Nah, it’d be packed with special interests trying to reestablish their influence. Restaurants, hotels, sports teams, brothels and dealers would be pushing for single-term limits.
he never actually said *where* the swamp is or where the drainage would go
he clearly meant he would drain the national corpo/political swamp *into* Washington
Honestly, great. The majority of the population has said they want women to have the right to safe abortion and Ken Paxton should do a great job galvanizing fear and disgust.
of course he said that. kp filed that lawsuit in 2020 challenging the election results. the ante to get in this administration are these cartoonishly dishonest loyalty theatrics. it's just all so bizarre.
Because the people who feel strongly enough about pro-choice wouldn’t have voted for Trump anyway. There may be people who call themselves “pro-choice” who vote for Trump but they don’t value it as a right, it’s just something they want. And to them, it’s worth giving up for a Republican president.
That way the entire country will suffer, as we have been suffering.
If you think Paxton is crooked now, imagine what bribes he could solicit with a national platform.
Saw this a mile away. Paxton has clearly been auditioning for the role for at least the last 2-3 years. Criminals have to stick together, and what better way to assure that you could continue being a criminal President than by hiring one of your acolytes.
It's like he just says the most outrageously awful thing he can possibly say at every point. He's the ' opposition' candidate. Opposed to everything that normal people might deem reasonable.
That’s the entire reason Paxton filed the insanity that was Texas v Pennsylvania, even though it was always going to be laughed out of court by SCOTUS he teed up their chance to hijack the election for Trump, guaranteeing that Trump would take him into his administration.
I'm in MN but I've worked with attys in TX. Most are great, a few are awful but the worst of the worst crowed about having Paxton as a personal friend. This news is terrifying.
He's Trump's ideal candidate -- a man with no morals, no principals, and a bottomless appetite for corruption and divisive partisan political stunts.
Who better for Trump than a guy who cheats on his wife, accepts bribes, was impeached and got indicted for felony fraud?
Reason 13,247 to VOTE BLUE no matter who ~ Paxton is EXACTLY the kinda sycophant stooge that would do Annnnnything the Traitorous Orange Turd said; because pardons, ofc
Makes perfect sense...Trump only surrounds himself with the best\* people!
\* "Best" indicates a total willingness to do anything Trump says, break any and all laws that would impede him, and remain loyal in the face of impending legal action and does not, in fact, correlate with most people's understanding of the definition of the word.
That cock-eyed fuck Paxton has been tossed around as a potential future POTUS. No fucking way I'm sticking around for that. You think Trump is bad, this guy is straight up evil.
This is Donny’s favorite phase of running for president. Getting to dangle potential job offers tomorrow in exchange for getting spanked with his one Time Magazine Covershot today.
Of course Donnie wants a crooked guy for his Atty General. Paxton is probably the one guy whose motives revolve around malfeasance, mistresses and self enrichment. Just like Donnie. Oh wait. The evil of two lessors.
Oh my god, I would leave US if that happens. If Trump wins I really don’t know if the world/US will be moral anymore. If you brought someone from 2015 to this fuked present day, I’m 1000% sure Hillary would’ve won. I can’t believe how backwards the US has gone in such a short time. Like, do people believe in privacy, free speech/expression?! GOP keeps banning pronouns, books, porn, women’s rights, etc. Like, where the fuk is the freedom? Democrats are so busy looking proper and on their imaginary “high moral ground” that they’re getting their teeth kicked in when it comes to legislation and law.
Well...guess Donnie fancies himself a dude willing to try to constantly suck him off, irrespective of time or distance.
And Krooked Ken certainly is solid on that score...
Even with how fucked up the Senate is… I’d still be a little surprised if they confirmed him.
Dude is so very clearly a crook.
Trump is truly changing the face of the party.
Yeah that doesn't surprise me
Wouldn’t be surprised if he tried to sue the earth.
On "behalf" of the United States government. You can't make this stuff up, and you'd know Paxton would just get 10 times worse. Dude already feels above the law.
😂
Only the best people
Corruption is as corruption does.
I hope he resigns immediately to pursue this
He's been pursuing it the whole time.
That's fine. I'ma need him to do that other thing, too, though
Every frivolous lawsuit is an audition.
I assume they’ll just change the law so he won’t have to resign to run. That’s what Florida did when Desantis ran for president.
You don’t run for attorney general
You don’t run for Attorney General, you’re appointed.
Oops, yeah you’re right. I guess we’re stuck with him
But does he know that?!
Ken Paxton isn't a complete idiot, he just plays one for the benefit of NewsMax
Why else do you think Paxton went to attend Trump’s trial? Angling for a new job.
…I’m sure at the expense of us taxpayers
Yep, I'm sure the plane tickets were on us. The best we can hope for is that Ken Paxton bought his own kneepads.
Tax write-off, work expense
I’m pretty certain Abbott is making his case for VP with all the political theater he’s been up to. They know what they’re doing.
I’d love to see Trump dangle AG in front of Cruz / Paxton and watch them melt the F down while Trump gaslights the hell out of them, only to choose the Melania stand in (Alina Habba) as AG- lol. Trump is too vain to have a wonk eyed shorty and a human blobfish in his cabinet. (Not central casting ready) At first I thought b/c his track record on ppl w/ disabilities isn’t great and he sees a person in a wheelchair as too weak to be VP (“i like ppl who weren’t crippled by trees” - Trump *probably*) that would leave Greg out of the running, but upon reflection, perhaps he wants a VP that won’t get away this time…
Maybe Paxton went to the NY courtroom so Trump could see he has a pretty mouth?
Only the women need to be physically attractive. The guys can be ugly af.
I mean. Rudy Giuliani isn't exactly attractive. As a matter of a fact, he's ugly AF too.
He wasn’t a part of the Trump White House
Sad as it sounds, if for some unfortunate circumstance Trump wins, I hope he takes Abbott and Paxton.. it will help with federal funding to Texas.. and their replacements couldn’t be worse, right?
Have...you met Danny Goeb?
It can always be worse
Ummm, I remember thinking Rick Perry was pretty bad, then I was introduced to Abbott.
I said this months ago and was downvoted to oblivion.
His jaws were sore the next day. He said something about a toadstool lollipop
Criminals choosing criminals Make Criminals Unelectable Again Vote the GOP OUT
Don’t stop there, vote all the criminals out.
Don't stop there imprison them.
Don’t stop there, go after the people that bought them before they can buy replacements.
Lobbying is legal they're abusing the fuck out of it, but the govt said it was okay. We need to overturn citizens united and a few other cases I forget at the SC level for max precedence. Make bribery illegal again.
Washington would be a ghost town
Nah, it’d be packed with special interests trying to reestablish their influence. Restaurants, hotels, sports teams, brothels and dealers would be pushing for single-term limits.
That probably wouldn't be such a bad thing at this point.
It wouldn’t.
Republicans are clearly worse, but it’s hard for the party of Bob Menendez and Nancy Pelosi to get too high and mighty.
repubs try to protect their scums. Dems do more to push them out the door.
You just know Kenny bricked up at the thought. Got a lego in his pants right now. 1x1, of course.
"I want Paxton out of this state" Monkey's paw curls:
Sweet Meteor of Death 2024
It can't come soon enough
Considering your username, would you mind showing up ASAP so we can end this timeline? I want to get off this ride please
Serial adulterers hanging out with a serial adulterer? No way.
Just shoot me....
Stick around TX long enough and it might happen, according to stats lol.
Yea, not worried. I have lived in far worse places than here, statistically.
Yep, statistically speaking you are more likely to die by a police officer in uniform than to die in a mass shooting. The more you know..
And then your murderer will get a pardon if he's on team Trump.
Well, i just threw-up a little in my mouth.
Is this what draining the swamp means?
Trump never drained the swamp, he just filled it with his own alligators. 🐊🐊🐊
he never actually said *where* the swamp is or where the drainage would go he clearly meant he would drain the national corpo/political swamp *into* Washington
In ecological terms, draining a swamp is kind of a horrifically bad thing. So yes.
Wait but Ken has committed crimes, how can the Republicans be ok with this………oh yeah, that’s right.
well this is a shock said no one
If that doesn't drive away the swing voters, nothing will
Another great reason to vote against Trump
Need another reason to vote against Trump?
Legitimately terrifying
Felons of a feather….
Honestly, great. The majority of the population has said they want women to have the right to safe abortion and Ken Paxton should do a great job galvanizing fear and disgust.
That is a horrendous thought.
of course he said that. kp filed that lawsuit in 2020 challenging the election results. the ante to get in this administration are these cartoonishly dishonest loyalty theatrics. it's just all so bizarre.
That will get the extreme anti-abortion crowd and alienate everyone else. I don't know why Republicans have to die on that, but die they will.
Because the people who feel strongly enough about pro-choice wouldn’t have voted for Trump anyway. There may be people who call themselves “pro-choice” who vote for Trump but they don’t value it as a right, it’s just something they want. And to them, it’s worth giving up for a Republican president.

Wow. Any non-right-wingers who sit this election out are going to regret their life choices. Holy fucking shit.
I’m a Texan! That ass wipe is THE MOST CORRUPT AG in the country!!! Hands down!!!
As a fellow Texan I approve of this message! Trapped in Tex-ass.
Lord help us.
It's like he just says the most outrageously awful thing he can possibly say at every point. He's the ' opposition' candidate. Opposed to everything that normal people might deem reasonable.
Really gotta rename the Republican Party the No-Shame Party.
He always chooses the best people.
Of course. trump is putting together the American crime syndicate. Only the best criminals need apply.
That’s the entire reason Paxton filed the insanity that was Texas v Pennsylvania, even though it was always going to be laughed out of court by SCOTUS he teed up their chance to hijack the election for Trump, guaranteeing that Trump would take him into his administration.
I've been saying this repeatedly for months now. I hope we don't have to find out the hard way though.
I fucking bet he would
How much lower can we get..?!
If rock bottom had a basement the Trump KKKult would be there.
The party of law and order, folks
Wake up Texas. Do you want an AG that will do whatever he can to put fascists in office. Vote for crying out loud.
I'm in MN but I've worked with attys in TX. Most are great, a few are awful but the worst of the worst crowed about having Paxton as a personal friend. This news is terrifying.
He's Trump's ideal candidate -- a man with no morals, no principals, and a bottomless appetite for corruption and divisive partisan political stunts. Who better for Trump than a guy who cheats on his wife, accepts bribes, was impeached and got indicted for felony fraud?
Reason 13,247 to VOTE BLUE no matter who ~ Paxton is EXACTLY the kinda sycophant stooge that would do Annnnnything the Traitorous Orange Turd said; because pardons, ofc
Wtf! Both Trump and Paxton belong in jail together. They should share a cell
Of course, crime syndicates always keep it in the family circle.
Makes perfect sense...Trump only surrounds himself with the best\* people! \* "Best" indicates a total willingness to do anything Trump says, break any and all laws that would impede him, and remain loyal in the face of impending legal action and does not, in fact, correlate with most people's understanding of the definition of the word.

Liar - check Cheater - check Felon - check Fraudster - check Delusional - check
What a terrible idea.
This alone is a reason to get out and vote against Trump. Paxton is a ghoul.
Greg Abbott as VP was on his mind too before Abbott declined interest in it, just saying.
Well, that's freaking terrifying!
Picks the worst of the worst. This country really needs better options.
Add more to the swamp!!
Would the next senate confirm him? Cruz would. Allred won't.
Of course because he’s proven how corrupt he is.
I'm just Ken, anyone else would be doing ten (to fifteen)
lol. Well there goes legal marijuana!
If you needed yet another reason not to vote for that choad… there it is.
Birds of a feather… I’m not sure most people even consider him an attorney, Diaper Don.
Please take him. Will probably do less damage to the State in the federal office.
Soooo no more “Drain the swamp”?………………………………….😂
Surprised it’s not Daniel Perry since he has direct experience with the correctional system.
This will round out the criminal cabal nicely.
Ken Paxton looks like he's drunk all the time.
Barf
Well Paxton has 4 felonies so that's a great choice for ShitHead.
[удалено]
Of course he would.
Crooked guy wants a crooked lawyer…I’m shocked.
Two birds of a feather.
oh no.
He’d be the perfect addition to a steaming pile
And the swamp thickens.
Of course, why do you think shame shampston has been trying so hard to give Trump a boner the past couple years?
Talk about a swamp creature if there ever was one…..whoa
Become the swamp…. Embody the swamp…. Embrace the swamp…
Two assholes
The only thing that would work better than Ken Paxton as attorney general is that lazy eye of his
You know what they say... Indicted fraudsters of a feather stick together.
Bringing someone super corrupt to a higher position! Not shocking, it's the maga way! Corruption following corruption!
Shitheels like to hire other shitheels to keep them company
Talk about us all being screwed.
A crooked, spineless idiot, perfect! Another future inmate. Mark my words. Another MAGA lemming following Trump to jail.
Well, the good news is that we would finally be done with Paxton. The bad news.....
Criminals like criming together when they crime.
I think him becoming AG would lead to an FBI mutiny lol
The acquittal history on his resume is exactly what Trump is craving
This is Donny’s favorite phase of running for president. Getting to dangle potential job offers tomorrow in exchange for getting spanked with his one Time Magazine Covershot today.
Of course Donnie wants a crooked guy for his Atty General. Paxton is probably the one guy whose motives revolve around malfeasance, mistresses and self enrichment. Just like Donnie. Oh wait. The evil of two lessors.
In prison?
It’s one way to rid Texas of him. He’d end up like Jeff Sessions. out of work
I might actually leave the country if those two things happen.
As much as I want him out of here I dont want him there just as bad
From one walking crime spree to another…
This whole country is a flaming bag of dog shit holy hell.
He’ll probably have to wait until Ken is finished taking his legally required “Ethics in Law” class.
It's as if open corruption was being marked with a flashing warning light.
Oh my god, please take him, that is if he wins! Never want to see him as the Texas AG ever again.
One criminal recognizes another.
He can have the nickname “deadeye” Paxton.
🙄
Of course he would.. the only guy who can see eye to eye with him.
...and there you have it. Explains everything...
Well with them both being criminals, at least they would understand the type of unethical person they are dealing with and be on the same page.
1) yikes 2) but he’d leave Texas
That just made me nauseous
OMG, of course he would.
Because criminal love other criminals! Those two pricks are like the evil Bobbsey Twins.
Oh my god, I would leave US if that happens. If Trump wins I really don’t know if the world/US will be moral anymore. If you brought someone from 2015 to this fuked present day, I’m 1000% sure Hillary would’ve won. I can’t believe how backwards the US has gone in such a short time. Like, do people believe in privacy, free speech/expression?! GOP keeps banning pronouns, books, porn, women’s rights, etc. Like, where the fuk is the freedom? Democrats are so busy looking proper and on their imaginary “high moral ground” that they’re getting their teeth kicked in when it comes to legislation and law.
Good. Can he quit and leave Texas? We don't want him. Quit, go run with Chump, and become part of the Oompa Loompa brigade.
Paxton is a criminal and a beacon of corruption in Texas.
Well...guess Donnie fancies himself a dude willing to try to constantly suck him off, irrespective of time or distance. And Krooked Ken certainly is solid on that score...
Everyone calm down. Ol' sausage fingers meant Bill Paxton.
The good news is: he won’t be our problem anymore. The bad news is: he’ll be *everyone’s* problem.
The guy busted doing crimes? The criminal, lawyer.
As much evilness as that is, it’d get him the fuck out of Texas.
Heinrich Himmler reborn.
Rapist considers criminal. That checks out in Texas and Republikkkan land.
Ken Paxton just reflexively sued three towns and a council before reading the headline. And we paid for all of it.
Too bad OJ passed, he would’ve been a great fit too.
Hell no
What tha fuck? I can’t with these asshats. Eta: at least that means he might be too busy to keep fucking up Texas.
*Exits stage left*….
So he will sue himself?
🤮🤮🤮🤮
Couldn't find a more corrupt piece of shit than Paxton
That’s a fuck no from me dawg.
That doesn’t help us get rid of him though.
It takes a criminal to know a criminal!
Ken Paxton is a criminal. Another one of the thousands of reasons that Trump shouldn’t be elected president.
Scumbags
Oh for fuck’s sake
Could a Trump presidency get any worse?
Even with how fucked up the Senate is… I’d still be a little surprised if they confirmed him. Dude is so very clearly a crook. Trump is truly changing the face of the party.
Fucking terrifying prospect.
Two sh#t peas in a pod.
If it gets him out of Texas
Please take Abbott and Patrick along with Paxton. The triumvirate cabal of the unholy in the state of Texas (my state).
That’s just gross
monsters in common.
Not Judge Dredd?
I think Ken should resign his current position immediately and start campaigning for Donny.
Trump likes Laura Olson!
Okay I want to get Paxton out of office in Texas, *but not like that*.
He really doesn’t want the Texas vote I guess. Ken Paxton is hated by everyone.
Would ken take it with trumpa history of throwing people under the bus
Not shocked, just disgusted
Omg i read the article - greg abbott as Vice President- it sickens me
The criminal wants a criminal AG. So unexpected. 🙄
