It isn’t hard to imagine LBJ saying you can’t make chicken salad out of the character of those GOP state senators.Ken Paxton was not exonerated by the Texas Senate. He was not absolved. He was excused.
As Lyndon Baines Johnson might have said, you can’t make chicken salad out of the character of those GOP state senators who, fearing for their political lives, turned a blind eye to justice. I wish Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick had taken his thumb off the scale long enough to call defense attorney Tony Buzbee’s bluff on those granite countertops.I have been a Republican my whole life. Since Republicans condone Ken Paxton’s corruption, I won’t vote for any beyond the local level. I’ll vote Democratic for all state and federal elections. By his remarks after the acquittal, Gov. Greg Abbott made clear he shares in the problem, too.
The denial and indignation about the verdict might lead voters to conclude that this historic impeachment was nothing more than ordinary politics through extraordinary means.The blatant attempt to overturn the will of Texas voters has been exposed. The political ambitions of those who pursued Ken Paxton are now visible. I hope people will see through efforts to disenfranchise those of us who are not part of the groupthink.
I remember when closing time meant no new customers. Now, it means the time the staff locks the door and leaves.The announcement that Republicans will explore impeaching President Joe Biden is telling. It makes me think the attitude in D.C. is, “Get even at all costs.” Considering the process of succession to the presidency, it’s hard to believe House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has thought this thing through. We’ve seen it before, with Bill Clinton and twice with Donald Trump.
