OK, Iām gonna need some cliffs. Iām late to the party on this TX AG thing.
Why exactly are they impeaching him and why are a bunch of Republicans going along with it? It seems like most of the stuff he is accused is just the standard GOP corruption that they always do. Why is this time different?
With out looking it up heās likely getting Cawthorned i.e. theyāre probably just fed up with him.
Yeah he doesnāt play nice with others. He has been under indictments forever but they just got tired of him.
Does Abbott support him?
IIRC, GOP didnāt really join with Dems in any way to take him down. They just let it happen. It seems like theyāre more of an active participant here.
Abbott has been silent on the issue of impeachment recently. I donāt think he every fully supported or was against him. More like āthe woke mobā kind of stuff.
I assume enough people told him to stay out of it.
I am still surprised this happened. He has always seemed like a massive ahole but he must be even worse than expected por republicans know things the public and democrats donāt even know.
Apparently Trump supports him. Thatās not enough to get the rest of the GOP in line?
Nice to see grown-up Republicans in Joe Bidenās America.
idk it looks like the TX GOP supports him as LFS posted earlier so it isnāt completely unanimous
as always, the best place to look for the GOP zeitgeist is the furthest reaches of the derposphere:
catturd retweeted this, but has made no direct posts on it since, which leads me to believe theyāre all still feeling this out and not quite sure what the script is yet:
Any correlation w Paxton picking a fight w Dade Phelan?
Phelan was running the floor of the Texas House last Friday night basically blacked out and Paxton called for his resignation.
From memory, there was no noise about impeaching Paxton until he went after Phelan.
Yeah, that is what makes it weirder. Paxton going after something legit bad is what gets him got? How?
wonder if a few nuts are going to be inspired to the depths of their freedom fighters fantasies. Trump was at peak der fuhrer post-truth last night in some broadcast.
Would love to see him locked in room with all his former African America. Players.
āLegal AF Podcastā.
ya dig? i knew that you would
I think itās because he criticized them for being wasted at work. AINāT NOBODY GONNA TELL ME I CANāT GET DRUNK AS HELL AND PASS LAWS!
