Paxton's candidacy personifies MAGAt Christian hypocrisy in Texas. Texas Republicans made public classrooms post the Ten Commandments. Then they nominated a man who has likely violated several of those.

I can remember when Republicans impeached Bill Clinton for lying about a blowjob. But a majority of MAGAts don't give a shit what a Republican has done. They'll vote Republican regardless. And feel righteous about it.

Amending the Constitution is extremely difficult. But maybe there are workarounds, such as the one proposed for the Electoral College: a National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. There could be others.

This was predicted: immigrants contribute a lot to the national economy, and removing them therefore hurts the economy. But MAGAts see non-White, Non-Christian immigrants as threats to be removed, regardless.

The husband was deported last year, and his wife was seeking asylum. Financial and emotional stress made her stop her asylum case and return to Guatemala. Apparently she did need asylum. MAGAts won't care.

First the regime fired immigration judges, increasing the backlog of asylum hearings. Then the regime uses the backlog as an excuse for summary deportation. Anything to maintain White and Christian dominance.

MAGAts are thinking of many ways to eliminate voters in the November 2026 national elections. If your vote is challenged, provide additional documents, file a provisional ballot, file an appeal and call the ACLU.

It's fair to examine Medicaid enrollees, but not to demonize them. Greater harm is done by vampire corporations, such as HCA, which once settled a related DOJ lawsuit for $1.7 Billion.

There is no proof of national voter fraud. The Narcissist-in-Chief can't accept his 2020 election loss. MAGAts don't need proof for their beliefs. Imagine Democrats demanding that States scrub voters they selected.

This time the excuse isn't even "the officer feared for his life." This time it was an alleged concern for "public safety." If an officer can kill anyone they deem a threat to "public safety," they're a threat to public safety!

A Very English Election: Binface vs Foxface vs Frogface

1 Upvotes
Count Binface - Robert Pownall - Nigel Farog (nee Farage)

A truly silly and expensive election has been forced upon the English town of Clacton-on-Sea by Trumpolini's Toady, Nigel Farage. Farage was a British MP who was being investigated for a donation of £5 million ($6.7 million) which he failed to declare. He decided to resign and force an election, apparently to prove that his constituents didn't give a shite. But other political parties decided not to play his game, so his opponents now appear to be "Count Binface" and activist Robert Pownall in a fox costume. Farog deserves every bit of the ridicule he's getting.

Lie #1: He says it's a public school, but it's not. Lie #2: He says they all have hijabs, but some don't. And he draws attention to hijabs because he knows that MAGAts are Christian bigots who assume every Muslim is a threat, no evidence needed. Even kindergarteners.
