To me is all alive
Gerrymandering is the only reason republicans have control of ANY state. The Bible is a comic book written by 100’s of different middle eastern men when there was a GOD for everything like god of wine, god of light, god of wealth, god of sheep, etc. why would I not fact check this book ? Because it makes some people FEEL BETTER THAN. I’m better than you because I read THIS . Frickin pathetic. Once upon a time there was this guy…..blah blah blah.
Anything about republicans from NBC News is lies. They can’t be trusted with the truth. Just look at what they cover up for Biden. The Texas Tribune is a well known liberal, lying rag. NBC is disgusting.
Just looking at Paxton’s face makes me want to throw up over his shoes 🤮 The foul stench of this arrogant piece of ** 🤮 why 8 years 😡‼️
I wouldn't want to see what would have an affair with paxton!!
Whats going on in merica? 😅 Is everyhthing ok sir where is bidens the prime minister and trump mr president
He must be a terrible republican if republicans are impeaching him.
No one's above the law……
A CAREER CRIMINAL, HUSTLER & THUG!. HIS FACE IS SO PUNCHABLE!. #KARMANEVERLOSESANADDRESS #FACTS
When you are to corrupt for TX republicans ….that is an achievement
He's been at this for years, but he still gets relected. He really must have burned some bridges for his fellow Republicans to turn on him.
Impeached ? Of course ! To jail ? BY ALL MEANS !!!
NOT an oath to God but to the citizens and residents of the state . GOD is banned from participating in government.
What relationship is Nate Paul to Ran and Ron Paul ,they all seem nuts .
But they are GOP facist and will probably vote for him . I thought they were going to let his wife vote . PAXTON and ABBOTT need to be prosecuted in federal court on numerous counts .
Where's Jim Jordan… Pretty sure he's going to stick his nose where it doesn't belong with his special investigation on this to right?
A republican who is too corrupt for the rest of his party. Amazing on a number of levels.
The Republicans are starting to use the Trump playbook, saying never back down. His wife is ashamed of him but she has to stand by him. He cheated on her but she doesn't care because she is a racist like him.
His staff reported him!
Ken Paxton committed crimes and these racist people in Texas have the nerve to say he shouldn't be.
SPOILER ALERT ⚠️ GUILTY OF ALL CHARGES
All those articles of impeachment could today be applied to most of the Republicans in the US Congress. They all need to be impeached also.
The GOP in Texas has been protecting this crook for years. They are all complicit.
GOP sis not going to bring any attention to Themselves. Because they may be as DIRTY as Paxton
Pathetic that you have to prove how much of a right wing extremist you are to be taken credibly for whistleblowing on another right wing extremist. Texas is a dark place. Would never go.
Ken Paxton is a evil, racist, corrupt p.o.s. and needs to be removed from office, charged, convicted and incarcerated for his crimes. In other words, get rid of the crooked s.o.b..
Paxton failed to withhold secret documents that he could use against the members of government if he was ever found out. That is the difference between him and Trump.
Paxton has a lot of nerve saying his impeachment is political when it's all republicans that want to get rid of him.
Entitled conservative russian-republican January the 6th terrorists and traitor Jim Crow welfare state crimes is out of control and a threat to America and real Americans and our children everywhere. Lock them all up. Throw away the key.
If it weren't for this guy Biden would have won Texas.
The only good republican is a silent republican
republican the party of law and order! right?
Ultra maga tears.!
Paxton is a CROOK! He should've been in prison long ago with his pending felonies.
The only sin Paxton committed was he didn't share the dirty money with his fellow GOPers.
Texas found some integrity for now😮
Why don't you GOPs do the same thing to Trump… he did worse than this corrupt AG.
REMINDER: Innocent until proven guilty. Anyone can be accused. Let it play out and let him have his day in court before agreeing to left leaning NBC narratives.
GOP is not called the stupid party for nothing.
Do nothing Republicans have supported political policy's that have undermined thier own party's power. They, like the democrats are not working to support or uphold freedom.
Most Texans don't know who Ken Paxton is. He is A Republican, but he isn't THE Republican cult leader. No one is buying Paxton NFTs. No one is waving giant Paxton flags. No one is storming the capital for Paxton. No one has made Paxton worship their entire identity. That's why he doesn't enjoy the same unconditional loyalty as Trump.
That said, he's been facing criminal charges since 2015, and they didn't turn against him until he asked the state to pay his legal bills.
Lock him up traitors belong in jail
