I don't know the whole story, but he's maybe blind in one eye from some sort of accident. A smaller version of the Gov'nor, who had a tree fall on him.
Yup. Ft Worth definitely red. Pink is flattering them. Decent private college and art museum though. Also, it's a pretty long haul to Dallas. The airport name DFW gives a false impression it is one metro area. But it's the smallest of the five urban areas.
Houston is the biggest and the bluest. About 4 million people all by its lonely. I lived there for 9 years. Best restaurant town I ever lived in, and largest Asian population. (Not a coincidence those two go together.)
I support splitting the state. South Texas would include San Antone, Austin, El Paso, and Houston. Would be very blue. Good analogy: South Florida. In both cases it's because there are more Hispanics and Jews and Asians and less Baptist Bible Belt.
North Texas would include the panhandle (near Oklahoma and Colorado), all the oil towns (Midlands) plus Dallas and FW. It would be deep red, despite Dallas. But 2 D and 2R senators would represent the state better than what they have now.
Last thing on my mind (sorry for the rant) but I want to make it 52 states, a nice even number. So let's add DC!
I had a friend who had that and it seemed very different. But I guess it could be that. I’d feel bad, but he’s such a horrible person that I don’t think there’s anything that could befall him that would make me think he didn’t have it coming.
Best explanation I've seen for the TX Republicans' willingness to impeach him is they can use it as cover to claim they are willing to ferret out corruption in their own ranks. "See! we got rid of Paxton!" IOW, he's a sacrifice on the altar of their corruption that protects every other republican office-holder and office-seeker.
Well, he has only been under indictment for 8 years.
Ooooohh! More "perfect" phone calls to members!
I'm still not sure who this "Richard Stans" is.
"The liberal leadership of the Texas House..."
Are you fucking kidding me?
Yes. I read up on this yesterday, too. Nice that Ken will have his wife sitting in a Senate seat, voting on whether to remove him from office.
Well I'll be dipped in sheep-shit. I fall asleep and miss the Moment (TM).

Maybe God was tryin' to kill both of 'em?
Yes indeed. He's an ahole too. I think he's Jeb's boy...
(Gotta be a boy, ya know.)
My wife was in love with Ron Darling back in her HS days. He is pretty dreamy. And politically OK.

I can understand wanting to get high, but not if it turns you into a moron.
It aint over until the state senate votes to remove.
He looks like he has bells palsy
