She's too tall and doesn't have the requisite "Paunch".  Though I'm told with CGI, that's not all that big an issue these days.  

But then, there's also the issue that Patrick looks like a fucking lesbian muppet at a Tommy Hilfiger/Subaru corporate activation event.

Kaci Sisk was sitting in the House gallery Friday in support of Attorney General Ken Paxton.

The president of the Bulverde Spring Branch Conservative Republicans drove two hours to Austin this morning from Bulverde, a small town north of San Antonio, in the chance that the House would vote to impeach the attorney general. The debate will be Saturday.

“Paxton is the most effective attorney general this state has ever had,” said the conservative PAC president.

“Amen,” said Rebecca Broughton, who was sitting in a row behind Sisk.


Sisk said the impeachment was a baseless, retaliatory move against Paxton for calling on House Speaker Dade Phelan to resign earlier this week after a video of Phelan slurring his words while managing the House floor circulated online. Paxton, and others, suggested Phelan was drunk. Sisk lumped Phelan supporters and those who support Paxton’s impeachment together with the Democrats.

In reality, the Republican-led House committee that is moving forward with impeachment hearings began investigating Paxton months ago.

“Those who vote for impeachment are effectively siding with the Biden administration and corrupt DAs in the state,” Sisk said.

Wearing Texas state flag earrings and a jean jacket, Broughton agreed with everything Sisk said. Broughton, who is the precinct chair and treasurer for the Guadalupe County Republican Party, noted how every Republican she’s spoken with is in lockstep behind Paxton. The support from the Republican base is strong, Sisk said.


“We don’t care that he’s been indicted; we don’t care,” Sisk said. “It’s politically motivated because he is a serious warrior for conservative Texans and for this state.”

Despite Sisk and Broughton’s insistence that the majority of Republicans in the state were behind Paxton, there were few at the Capitol on Friday visibly in support of him. They attributed this to the fact that this sequence of events happened so quickly, and right before a holiday weekend, and therefore many couldn’t make it to the Capitol.

Both women pointed to his decisive victory last November as evidence of Paxton’s popularity. Paxton won reelection by almost 800,000 votes against his Democratic challenger Rochelle Garza. Sisk noted that voting to impeach Paxton would be disenfranchising millions of voters.

“How can they even have the arrogance to want to overturn an election?” Sisk asked.

smh

Wilks and Dunn

Are they going to shield him from the Nate money friends?

What do they know about it?

Sullivan’s group has close ties to a group of West Texas oil tycoons — notably Tim Dunn and brothers Dan and Farris Wilks — who have donated small fortunes to Paxton. Campaign finance records show that, since 2002, Dunn and the Wilks have been among Paxton’s most generous backers, pouring in at least $1.4 million in individual contributions and another $870,000 through their various fundraising groups, including Defend Texas Liberty PAC.

Last year, Defend Texas Liberty spent more than $5 million in an ill-fated attempt to replace Abbott and Phelan with more conservative candidates. This session, candidates backed by the group — including Bryan Slaton, the former Royse City representative who was ousted by the House this year for having sex with a teenage aide after giving her alcohol — have been by far the most vocal critics of Phelan.

I think defend Texas liberty is the group that has the billboard on 35 in jerrell that says something like more casinos mean more crime. So I guess they don’t want Texans to have the liberty to own, operate, or patronize casinos in this state. 

It’s a theme repeated often in different iterations. A new American ethos.

It's baffling.  I don't see any of this as not being well within normal tolerances of GQP.

One thing, though, as someone mentioned, Texas is basically a one-party state.  The GOP doesn't have to sell out on Trump to stay in office here, really.  I suppose they may want to ward off that every 30-40 year flop between R and D.  Maybe some of these people are actually sick of being performative assclowns.

Nah.

The impeachment is really just a proxy in the war between Phelan and Patrick right?  Hopefully just the first step.

This is not a fight that Patrick wants - if he loses, he’s weakened, and he’s already announced his retirement.

I’d like to think this is moderates vs MAGA , but it’s probably far more simple - House didn’t want to be an accessory to Paxton’s crimes by ponying up the settlement and/or they know some serious heat is coming from the feds or elsewhere.

Paxton really fucked himself over by being so arrogant and leaving paper trails and trying to use public funds to defend somebody like Nate Paul.  And Paul probably already rolled on Paxton.

For some reason I think it’s more about self preservation. Like something is coming related to Paxton and they did not want to be seen as paying his settlement and risk looking like they were helping cover it up as opposed to draining the swamp.

I fucking love this.  I'd be willing to bet that most of the people rushing to Paxton's defense have only seen his statements/comments, and did not actually read the 20 articles or so of impeachment.

Abbott has to be on board, right?  They already know who he is going to appoint?  Paxton must be a complete imbecile and liability for those other limpdicks to want him out.  
Abbott is going to appoint some Lakeway mom without a law license to AG.  All she will talk about is Mexicans, the border, human trafficking, gays, trans kids and the Bible.  She will win the election in a landslide.

Straw here gets it.

The Nate Paul situation has to be much bigger than we know.  Hire his mistress, meh. Get a $25K campaign contribution from a guy worth a couple hundred million dollars, meh. Renovate your house for free, troubling but doesnt really move the needle.  Abbott wants him gone because Abbott is running for president at some point  and there is something much darker on the horizon involving Paxton.

As one of the few "out" R's on this forum, I totally agree.  Paxton and Paul are toxic.  Something bad is going down soon, I think.

Thanks for the middle finger, fudge.  I know that rational conversation is difficult these days, but I am trying to do so.  CR doesn't look like the place to talk rationally.

I don't know if it's directly Abbott's doing, but I do know that Abbott can't enter the race if shit is about to blow wide open and it looks like the Texas GOP was covering for Paxton. If the legislature had signed off on the whistleblower funds and Abbott then signed off on that, Abbott would be super-fucked.  But yeah, really feels like some other stuff is going on.

When you read the list of articles, it's pretty damn varied and documented - it feels exactly like something the House would do if they wanted Paxton gone and didn't want to leave it up to chance - sure, he might be able to beat a few of those, but he's not beating all of them.

And don't get me wrong, Abbott is still super-fucked next year.  In the Texas GOP primary next  year, the only way he polls higher than 5-10% is if DeSantis or Trump drop out, and their supporters are pissed at the remaining candidate and still get out and actually vote for anybody else.  Then Abbott might crack double digits because he's "anybody else" (and not because he's Greg Abbott). But that assumes the loser's supporters don't stay home.

As for what the "much darker" thing on the horizon for Paxton is, I'm guessing the federal investigation uncovered a lot more stuff and/or Paul is completely ratting out Paxton.

Paxton and Paul were probably in some kind of pseudo-prisoner's dilemma situation, because Paxton was trying to help Paul against the FBI for a reason that had to have benefited both of them.

I'm curious if the feds would have cooperated with/contacted the House committee. Getting Paxton out of office would probably help the feds out tremendously, and probably help with prosecution of his "old" indictments.  Hell, his old indictments probably don't matter at this point, other than to show a pattern.

I follow politics some, and pretty much knew that the Paxton and Nate Paul deal (I've always been suspicious of Nate Paul) was an unholy alliance.

I've never heard of a state attorney general spending taxpayer funds/expending state resources to try and help a private citizen by targeting the FBI agents investigating him, or giving the private citizen access to the documents relating to the FBI search of their property. 

That kind of sounds like the opposite of what a state attorney general should be doing.

Is it time to start predicting who plays Paxton, Patrick, Paul, etc in the Netflix docuseries?

Buscemi is way too skinny and good looking to play Paxton. And Marty Feldman has been dead for 40 years.

Charlie Day would make a good Paxton.

Wow, I was today years old when I realized that was James Cromwell.  Damn.  

Oh, and also---Nate just gave up a buncha shit on Paxton to the Feds.  He was gonna wait until the end of session but Ken pushed some extra buttons and expedited the whole thing.  Abbott has turned his back, as has the RPT.  Dan Patrick is his only friend left and that ain't saying much.  I really don't think he gets hung out by the Senate, but he will get hung.

You admittedly pulled the lever for Paxton because his opponent committed the unforgivable sin of working for the ACLU. You're going to get some blowback from that one, hombre.

I’m pretty surprised at how many smooth brain mother fuckers I’ve seen defending Paxton in various places…guess I probably shouldn’t be tho

That's his true power.  Say what you want about Abbott and Patrick, they're extremist assholes.  But they have an agenda.  A purpose.  A schedule.  A routine.  The brilliance of Ken Paxton is he has no agenda.  People just blindly follow him for no fucking reason.  Other than show-man-ship "own the libs" filings, tell me one fucking thing he's done since taking office all those years ago.  He just shows up at press conferences to scream about shit, meantime not doing a fucking thing.  At least Abbott and Patrick push through legislation.  Phelan, too. Ken just hangs back and yells and drools and looks off into the sunset.  Like a fucking 10-ply goofball.  One fucking person that voted for him, tell me how he reduced crime in Texas as AG.  Just one example.  I'll wait.  Guy can't even do laundering crimes correct despite being the person in charge of deflecting laundering crimes.  It's fucking shameful is what it is.  Fucking half-wit, one-eyed tit-fucker.  And there are 100 posters on here who'd suck his balls if he asked him too.  Fucking, fuck.
