I know it’s unlikely, but I am hoping for a blue tsunami that sweeps in a blue majority for the Texas Senate and House. Get this evil asshole impeached.
It would also be nice if the FBI finally arrested him for at least some of his corruption

The. Cruelty. Is. The. Point.
Ye gods, just when I thought Paxton, Abbott & Co. couldn’t get any more awful.
I really hope this has major repercussions for the super-MAGA Texas pols in November. Overwhelmingly. Like, enough to override the gerrymandering and voter suppression there.

why isn’t Texas charging people for gambling in Vegas, given that it’s illegal in Texas?
Could some other states find stuff that is legal in Texas but illegal locally and look out for any Texans residents doing that stuff while away from home? /s

Unmasking brave people? Surely that’s Un-Texan?! Weird, cruel, creepy-arse fuckers.

I don’t expect it to get past a SCOUTS ruling, but this court is pretty terrible.
No DOUBT all those Texas “sovereign citizens” who are “It’s America, I don’t have to show you my papers!” will be ALL over this protesting. Right?

Is there a bigger sh*tbag in government than Paxton? Every single thing he does is either criminal or inhumane.

To be fair, it’s usually both.

How about unmasking the identities of Texans who leave the state to visit the casinos (or brothels) of Nevada? Or Texans who got high on Spring Break in Colorado?

Sorry Texas - you’re just one state- like every other state.
You don’t get to make the rules elsewhere.

Remember when Republicans wanted “small government”? These total fucking goons.

I mean, isn’t that part of the GOP’s (and associated scumbags) whole “state’s rights” garbage? Admittedly, I get confused over this since I am burdened by logic and forethought.

THAT"S your problem. Right there, that’s it. Fix that and it’ll all make perfect sense.

In addition to the obvious addiction to cruelty, he practically invented this:
Paxton’s self-inflicted “legal troubles” are many:
His work for MAGA includes blatantl anti-democracy action against the people of Texas:

… so yeah, some deflection and some distraction are definitely what he’s up for. On the backs of every Texas woman of reproductive age (and onset of female puberty is happening at lot sooner in modern times).
May the good people of Texas see this man for who he really is, and organize to vote him out. If a fair vote and a free and fair election is still possible in The Lone Star State, itself a subject of study and debate.
