Paxton, what a mess in Texas... Dysfunction in Texas AG’s office as Paxton seeks third term By JAKE BLEIBERG today(09/30/2022) GATESVILLE, Texas (AP) — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s staff this month quietly dropped a series of human trafficking and child sexual assault cases after losing track of one of the victims, a stumble in open court emblematic of broader dysfunction inside one of America’s most prominent law offices. The Republican has elevated his national profile in recent years, energizing the right by rushing into contentious court battles that have affected people far beyond Texas. He has fought access to abortion, Democratic immigration policy and the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. But as Paxton seeks to fend off legal troubles and win a third term as Texas’ top law enforcement official, his agency has come unmoored by disarray behind the scenes, with seasoned lawyers quitting over practices they say aim to slant legal work, reward loyalists and drum out dissent. An Associated Press investigation found Paxton and his deputies have sought to turn cases to political advantage or push a broader political agenda, including staff screenings of a debunked film questioning the 2020 election. Adding to the unrest was the secretive firing of a Paxton supporter less than two months into his job as an agency advisor after he tried to make a point by displaying child pornography in a meeting. *** In the small town of Gatesville, the fallout was felt this month with the collapse of cases dubbed “Operation Fallen Angel.” Six of the people indicted last year on allegations that they were involved in a scheme to force teenage girls to “exchange sexual contact for crystal methamphetamine” are now free. One is being held in the central Texas community on other charges. An eighth died in jail. “It’s absolutely broken. It’s just broken. You don’t do it this way,” Republican District Attorney Dusty Boyd said of the attorney general’s office, which took over the cases from his five-lawyer team. “I made the mistake of trusting them that they would come in and do a good job.” apnews.com/article/elections-texas-presidential-election-2020-ken-paxton-a1bdcfd0a9d25bd6aa3666b70f74f2b2Tip of the iceberg!! |

Ginni Thomas testified at the Jan 6 hearing that she believes former's 'big lie' that he won the election. ^^^ the fact that she said she *actually believes* he won the election tells me a LOT about her level of intelligence. Somehow I figured since she's married to a Supreme Court Justice (and they have to be really smart, don't they?) that she'd probably have to be-- oh, I don't know... reasonably smart? Of at least average, if not slightly above average, intelligence? I guess not. eta: onelasttime , about the dolphin and dog... one of the commenters on twitter posted that it's a clip from a 1997 movie. sorry to burst your bubble. Zeus and RoxanneOh wow, but I still like it 😁 |

Why is it up to the United States to negotiate on something between Ukraine and Russia?
As far as Russia’s army goes, apparently this super power doesn’t have that super of an army. But he does have the nukes I know. But still.

So it’s ok for Russia to claim the West (translation United States) did it but if the United States says the obvious it’s “deliberately provoking” Russia?
Shouldn’t these guys at least register as “foreign agents”?

Yes, they should be registered.
Tucker has already told them the US did it..
One of the responses to the tweets is that all of FOX should be deported to Russia..

This post is about the CPAC tweet that has since been deleted.

Oh?!?! Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) on Thursday found himself on the defensive after getting pushback from some surprising corners over his attempts to derail an antitrust bill that aims to clip the powers of the tech industry he often criticizes. CNBC reports that the bill, which passed on a bipartisan vote, will "increase the fees businesses pay to federal agencies when a large merger deal requires government review," with the goal of making companies think twice before executing large mergers. *** Jordan reportedly whipped Republican votes against the bill, although 39 Republicans ended up voting with most House Democrats in favor of the final package. *** In an editorial critical of Jordan's vote, Newsmax called the Ohio Republican out for trying to obstruct a bill that many conservative scholars have said is an important first step.All of this feels like a clever way of saying Jim Jordan won't put mild restrictions on Big Tech," the editorial wrote. "So who cares if Democrats support it if it's a good bill? And it’s true, the bills don’t address censorship. But why not take small steps to limit Big Tech now and address censorship in the next Congress?" www.rawstory.com/jim-jordan-2658363066/When the democrats can pass a bill that has its basis on fiscal conservatism it really makes one wonder. The GOP is not the party of fiscal responsibility or fiscal conservatism they are the part of the plutocracy. They are the party of the elite. |

If you speak out against him in any way he goes off about his stupid you are even if you were getting praise from him the day before well I guess he doesn’t really praise anyone but himself but still. You are a loser if you don’t kiss his }## |

GOP. Sure take our Social Security and Medicare, and next the VA.... Republican legislators are starting to suggest defunding the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA), the office founded in 1989 to assist with veteran needs. The VA assists with getting veterans mental and physical healthcare, educational opportunities, community support, and other everyday housing and living needs. A second video, posted by the same account, showed Republican Florida Representative Matt Gaetz advocating for defunding the VA while speaking at an event held by FreedomWorks, a conservative and libertarian advocacy group."This is my question to the group. Is it savable? Why not abolish the VA, take all of the money that we are otherwise spending and go to an any willing provider system inside of our communities?" Gaetz says in the video. "And then, if people get bad care, they can vote with their feet and you don't have a two-tier system of healthcare in this country with our veterans and then with everyone else." www.rawstory.com/republicans-suggest-defunding-veteran-affairs-even-though-it-helps-9-million-vets/ |

Didn’t the US Military dump his body in the ocean after he was killed? During the Obama Administration?
So how could dumpster don “catch” him and if by some by some weird chance he did catch him, what did they do with him after they caught him?

I’m not always a fan of AOC but one thing she is it’s bright.
And once again this person shows us she certainly isn’t the brightest 💡 on the block.

I know this is a slam at Secretary Pete, but Is this some slam at EVs as well? It’s hard to tell with this one. But I would like see her and Secretary Pete get into a discussion on something.
Love the response… 😀
