That lovely woman, Pat Schroeder.

So... I had to Google Pat Schroeder and she seems like a lively woman. On her wiki -

"She asked that a brick be made from her cremated ashes to hold doors open for other women"

She wrote a book, "24 Years Of House Work And Still A Mess" of her time in the House.

IIRC she got the idea from Molly Ivins. The two were friends for a while. Maybe lifelong friends. I don't read the political gossip rags, so I don't know too much.

To this day, still can’t figure how you put out your eye ‘playing hide and seek’, unless maybe you step on a rake..l

Backpfeifengesicht.

German for "a face in need of a good punch." See, e.g., Ken Paxton.

When is this thing supposed to wrap up? I'm sick of seeing Paxton's puss.

Newspeople said it's supposed to be weeks.

One part of me is like hey, men can cry in public. They're Kenough!

The other part is like "haha, what a loser."

In general, public servants give it their all. Shit heels like Paxton ruin it. I could see why he would cry. It's more than just a job for some.

RIP Pat. I remember, and it sucked, back in 87. How far we've all come. Hats off to the guy for letting it show.

That one lawyer of Paxton’s, Buzzbee I think, sure is right out of central casting. I’d hate to be the guy responsible for cleaning up that grease spot every day.

He has had political aspirations as well. Hard to imagine.

He defended Deshaun Watson in over 30 sexual assault cases. He managed to get all criminal allegations dismissed, and they settled with most or all of the accusers (I haven’t kept up).

He’s actually pretty good, even if a bit sleazy.

Dr. Rrrrrobotnik's avatar

How on earth does someone get accused of sexual assault *over thirty times* and not end up in jail? Just from the fucking volume of complaints, you'd think the state would be like "I really gotta do something about this, my phone is ringing off the hook".

Sometimes they get elected President.

Just want to add: At 1:07 in the video, whoo-whee, the two pictures of Paxton's sleazy developer pal! One the Hello, ladies! Christian Singles professional portrait, and the other the scumbag defendant mug shot.

Holy shit, that Defense "strategy" they outline in the video report. It's all Trumpist bullshit about "disloyal" staff members "plotting" against Dear Leader. The authoritarian poison has trickled down all the way through the GOP. Yes, even more so than before.

Like diarrhea running down your leg when you don't get home in time.

I don't remember Alanis singing that line.

In other piece of shit news: the Georgia special grand jury recommended charges against Lindsey as well as former senators Loeffler and Purdue.

Wonder how they managed to avoid it.

Bradthe🤖's avatar

Congress has that debate clause, which shields lawmakers in ways you and I aren’t shielded.

My guess is she didn’t want to add that complication to the case, to avoid it slowing progress with the remaining indicted Republicans.

Jenny, a Pinata Farmer's avatar

Maybe she'll save it for round two. Or just pass that nugget on to Jack.

Pat Schroeder?? Man, I'm all over that like a small McDonald's decaf. Black no sugar.

Garbageman's avatar

It's always lots of fun on Xitter to see MAGA creeps defending Paxton by saying: 'But he was elected!' 'The voters gave their verdict!' Etc. . . . but not surprisingly, this logic apparently doesn't apply to Biden 🙄 . . .

Or Wisconsin judges. Or NC governors. Or ....
