Republican voters don’t care about.that. In fact the more vile the better. Especially when it’s pointed towards women. They think it’s “macho” for a man to cheat on his wife and the wife’s should accept it, and go back to cleaning the house, wiping the snot of the kids nose, playing shuttle driver,cook the meal, and hold a job all at the same time while he goes out drinking with the bros at a meat market bar.

I recommend the podcast Straight White American Jesus on this subject; they did an episode about this time last year about "manliness" that pointed out Christian fundamentalists believe men are naturally always horny and must be accommodated in this fact. It's why they think Trump is so awesome even in light of his history of sexual predation.

Or a sheep or piece of furniture. Ethically speaking the furniture would be the better choice.

Perhaps we should just put a drone on him. Let us use a Ukrainian made drone. Let us put them on all MAGAs, so that we can see what they are really up to. Noem should get one as well. We should see what she was doing with her time while she was supposed to be running FEMA.

Texas is basically screwed at this point because this is just disaster #1 run amok, but there will be more. The rest of us are screwed too. Even though I live in a state on the list for some of the lowest damages to natural disasters, I still want to only pay taxes to my state and then have them run everything I need, like a small nation allied with other small nations. Since Trump is going to turn disaster prevention, management and relief over to states, we should be able to fund it too with our tax dollars going to our state, with a really really low percentage going to the federal government. In fact, better for the state to pay fees for government services for the state, and let us just have one taxing entity, our state.

All that Trump wants our Federal taxes for are his 3 priorities:

1) billionaires

2) the military

3) ICE

The ICE budget went from 8.7 mil to 178 bil, so I would rather have my state keep the money and decide for itself if it wants to approach immigrant management in this way. We will assume some of the people who would be usually used in storm clean up have been spirited away to Texas Concentration Camps where they may be made to do the clean up work for free, since that is the direction things are going.

Paxton could also be on the Epstein Island list. Hard to believe this revolting asshole is currently ahead of Sen. Cornyn in the latest Senate race polls.

That's interesting--because then you'd think the Texas GQP would put the pressure on Paxton's wife to shut up and put up with it. Could this really be something so vile that the GQP realized his candidacy was untenable?

A bone would be a minor. Or he got someone pregnant. Wives seem to get especially pissed about that. I vote for underage girl. Something so bad she can't be convinced to stay with him with an election coming. My sympathy for her - ZERO. Because she is in the legislature there, she is one of those responsible for him not being booted out of government a couple of years ago.

I dunno. Getting a woman whose not your wife pregnant seems fairly mild—from the 90s. Repulsive to me suggest pedophilia—and the Republican political ranks seems rife with that crime. Beginning with the Orange Head Honcho. Paxton is Trump’s spiritual twin (crooked, evil, slimey) and I hope he’s final nailed. He’s one of the bad hombres.

This is the part that I don't get about the complicity of today's press. The NY Times, Washington Post, CNN, etc., do realize -- don't they? -- that they're going to be the first to go if we end up with the future they're enabling.

I sometimes think they're all vying to be at the top of the State Media Apparatus, get federal funding directly from the Republicans, and rake in the dough. Good luck with that.
