The rank hypocrisy of the Texas AG's election case

(CNN)Ken Paxton is a lawman being chased by the law. And when the Texas Republican attorney general filed a suit on Tuesday with the US Supreme Court on behalf of his state, he also became an even more rank hypocrite.

Paxton, who has been indicted on securities fraud and accused by top aides of bribery, abuse of office and other potentially criminal offenses -- charges that he has denied -- argued that a handful of battleground states destroyed the integrity of the 2020 election vote totals. He insists the US Constitution was violated by allowing their legislatures to make last-minute changes that ignored federal electoral regulations.

Earlier in the campaign, Paxton played a key role in President Donald Trump's fight against expanding mail-in ballots. Now Paxton's plea to the Court is that Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Georgia must be found to have used the Covid-19 pandemic as an excuse to manipulate outcomes.

If that argument has merit, he ought to have included his home state in the lawsuit.
Texas' Republican Gov. Gregg Abbott extended early voting by a week and expanded the period in which mail-in ballots could be hand-delivered. "Using his emergency authority because of the pandemic," Glenn Smith, a Texas Democratic political consultant, told me, "our governor accomplished exactly what his attorney general is saying other states did, improperly. Nonsense. None of this harmed the presidential election. It helped turnout."

A nice top 10 list

In case you hear the treasonous lies about the Georgia video that claims voter fraud

CBS news radio in NY has decided that broadcasting Trump's lies is more important than the truth. They claimed there is a video showing voter fraud. CBS 880 News radio LIED and should have their license revoked. It caused me needless grief until I found this

We need to get used to the fact that Trump is an impeached lame duck president

Doesn't matter what he says

Doesn't matter what might do

Doesn't matter where he might visit

If his actions harm our nation, it's worth discussing. Other than that, we need to readjust our thinking so we stop caring what this criminal conman does to try and bring attention to himself. He is yesterday's news. He is a national troll seeking to keep attention on himself and to still be relevant

I know we shouldn't attack Democrats/Liberals, but I just couldn't bite my tongue

There was a time when behavior like Trump's was considered a mental breakdown

She who smelt it, dealt it

Ohrstrom was Ivanka’s childhood friend and a maid of honor in her wedding to Jared Kushner. But as the two women grew older, they grew apart as Ohrstrom became horrified by her friend’s snobbery and complicity in Donald Trumps’ presidency. In a new essay for Vanity Fair, Ohrstrom chronicles her friendship with Ivanka from their days as middle schoolers at Chapin, a posh all-girls’ school on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.

“One of the earliest memories I have of Ivanka from before we were friends is when she blamed a fart on an insecure classmate.

Unannotated Title 18. Crimes and Criminal Procedure § 2384. Seditious conspiracy

Keep this in mind as the treasonous Trump supporters call to take up arms

If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

At this point, this is where I am focused

In order of importance (edited based on suggestions)


1) What Joe Biden and the Democrats are saying and doing

1A) The Georgia Senate elections

2) What evil deeds the GOP/right are committing

3) what crimes/unethical ACTIONS the criminal in the White House is committing


What I am not focused on:

1) Anything the pathetic loser in the White House says or Tweets


Trump is like the class clown who disrupts class for everyone to feed his need for attention. I for one am not going to give him any. America spoke and we said he deserved to be impeached and he was a terrible excuse for a President, end of story

Ivanka Trump obsessed with status, says former friend in tell-all essay

In the most scathing passage, Ohrstrom claimed that in their mid-20s she recommended to her friend the book Empire Falls, a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Richard Russo about working-class characters in a small town in Maine.

“‘Ly, why would you tell me to read a book about fucking poor people?’ I remember Ivanka saying,” she wrote. “‘What part of you thinks I would be interested in this?’”
