    Here's a hint - if you vote for someone, you support them.  Whether it's Paxton, Abbott, Trump, Cruz, your vote says you support their actions.

Disappointed in Dutton.  

Is Briscoe Cain going to support the impeachment of Paxton?

I wonder.

Future Attorney General Cain would love to see Paxton booted out, otherwise Paxton will be around for a few more elections.

Of course, he may have to wait until Governor Fitlump appoints him.

Dutton is a Democrat.  This is embarassing.  Either that, or he is the sacrificial lamb to make it look like at least one Democrat supports Paxton.  I have no fucking idea.  

But I would not want Dutton to be my rep.

Vengeance or politics? Democrat Harold Dutton explains why he advanced bill targeting transgender athletes, other GOP priorities

As a powerful committee chairman, Dutton could have bottled up legislation that Democrats opposed. Instead, critics say, he’s pushed through Republican bills that Democrats find objectionable.

Quote

Instead, he advanced out of his committee two pieces of legislation considered toxic by Democrats in Texas and nationwide — a bill to restrict transgender students from school sports and a ban on critical race theory studies in schools.

 

I love how Cruz and Trump say, "Oh, let the voters or courts decide."  Basically, any reason or rationale to avoid actual consequences, just point to some other venue and say that they should take care of it.

I like how these Republicans are conveniently ignoring the fact that they turned down the $3.3 million for Paxton.

If they believed that he was in the right, they would have given him the money.

Isn't the trial in the Senate?

He’s not gone, nor is he getting impeached. It’s just a hearing or something to decide if he should face a vote for impeachment. Which will never happen.

Is this like you saying the Yankees are going to beat the Astros in 4?  Do you not understand the process?

Nope, that's apparently his son.  This is his dad:

screen-shot-2020-09-24-at-2-16-25-pm.png

After his parents put him in charge of the foundation, he got busted for cocaine possession, and it later came out that he had paid four different women settlements for sexual harassment at both the foundation and his dad's company.  He was apparently the Colin Farrell character from Horrible Bosses. 

That foundation was among the biggest and easily the most prominent donors to TXST (SWT then IIRC), and when he got named chairman, Texas State disassociated themselves.

Lulz, that was good.  I can read the rules to you but I can't make you understand them.

Well, you see, this is really about paying tribute to our fallen veterans.

Who is this fucker?

There is a chance that Patrick tries to punt on this in some way (hold a really shitty hearing/whatever), but it won't get rid of the fact that the feds will probably still nail Paxton to the wall.

Holy shit, they are still trying to pretend that this is an actual court hearing.

so is he actually gone or is this just symbolic as with trump?

Was there a vote taken on whether to approve the whistleblower settlement or did it not even make it out of committee?  I don't remember.

Neither legislative chamber included money for the settlement in their budget bills. Members could have proposed it be added in.

If there was a vote taken, it went against him, but nothing stopped his supporters trying to get it added (and failing).

Republicans googling "hearsay" over the last few days, obviously.

Yet all the Google results were, in fact, hearsay.

Vote happening and Phelan is in auctioneer voice.

121 ayes, he's impeached.

Holy shit, 121-23-2.  I didn't think it would be that bad.

Wowsers 

Didn’t think it would be so overwhelming. Finally we may be able to get this piece of shit out of office

So Rs voted roughly 3-1 to impeach?

so is he actually gone or is this just symbolic as with trump?

Goes the senate for a trial

He’s temporarily removed of duty while it happens

Well I gotta tell y’all this feels really fucking good.
