Ken Paxton just keeps doing his best Rafael Cruz impression and running away from anyone who asks him a question...
Talarico signed up for three debates and said he'll show up even if Paxton doesn't.
Cruz is slimey, but he's a legitimate master debater, he can slime his way out of shit most people can't, and Paxton is just expecting it to work out.
As long as Talarico doesn't start talking about taking people's guns, he's got this in the bag.
There is a reason Reagan and the neocons were founded and backed by corpos.
The only thing that actually trickles down from the 1% is piss.
shame a huge number of americans keep voting to be fucked over
The real difficulty is with the vast wealth and power in the hands of the few and the unscrupulous who represent or control capital. Hundreds of laws of Congress and the state legislatures are in the interest of these men and against the interests of workingmen. These need to be exposed and repealed. All laws on corporations, on taxation, on trusts, wills, descent, and the like, need examination and extensive change. This is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people no longer. It is a government of corporations, by corporations, and for corporations. — Rutherford B. Hayes, 1888
Talarico is saying the right things. He deserves a few bucks. The others, not so much. Democrats, in general stood by and let all this corruption go on.
Support only those who understand the problem but understand that we need many more to actually actually change things.
Give em hell kid.
Also note that this is not a D vs R situation. It is the people vs those who keep taking advantage of the leadership we afford them.
*the pedefilic elite
Looks like the Democrats have finally refined their messaging, now all they need to do is form a coalition more powerful than the establishment DINO centrists.
The bullshit in here is strong:
This is Paxton plus way more than I can put in here:
On July 28, 2015, a state grand jury indicted Paxton on three criminal charges:[276] two counts of securities fraud (a first-degree felony) and one count of failing to register with state securities regulators (a third-degree felony).[277][278] Paxton's indictment marked the first such criminal indictment of a Texas attorney general in thirty-two years since Texas attorney general Jim Mattox was indicted for bribery in 1983.[279] The complainants in the case are Joel Hochberg, a Florida businessman, and Byron Cook, a Republican and former member of the Texas House of Representatives.[280][281] Paxton and Cook were former friends and roommates while serving together in the Texas House.[281] Three special prosecutors were trying the state's case.[282]
In October 2020, seven of Paxton's top aides published a letter to the office's director of human resources, accusing Paxton of improper influence, abuse of office, bribery and other crimes, and said they had provided information to law enforcement and asked them to investigate.[318][319] The letter was signed by first assistant attorney general Jeff Mateer,[319][318] and the deputy and deputy attorneys general overseeing the office's divisions for criminal investigations, civil litigation, administration, and policy.[318] Paxton denied misconduct and said he would not resign.[319][320] By the end of the month, all seven whistleblowers had left the office: three resigned, two were fired, and two were put on leave.[321]
The allegations were made the more serious by the accusation that the affair was facilitated by friend, donor, and Austin, Texas real estate investor Nate Paul, with Paul alleged to have hired the "girlfriend" with whom Paxton was having the affair, and facilitated her move to Austin and Paxton's clandestine meetings with her, actions the managers of Paxton's failed state impeachment effort contended (see Texas House investigation and impeachment section, above) were abuses "in exchange for his office... help[ing] Paul ’s faltering businesses..., looming bankruptcies[,] and a litany of related lawsuits."[356] The impeachment managers also contended that Paxton and Paul shared an Uber account under a pseudonym to help Paxton meet with the woman.[356]
