"Republicans politicized the courts because the courts stood in the way of their racist, anti-gay, forced-birth agenda. If Democrats refuse to fight back, that agenda will be the law of the land, and elections will become the political force that doesn’t really matter."

So it's 9/11, and I've failed to put anything together for the day, so I will leave you with the seeds of a #conspiracy #theory...

In the 1980s, #DickCheney and #CondoleezzaRice were part of a group pushing for #military intervention in the #MiddleEast, mainly #Iraq and #Afghanistan.

In the 1990s, #OsamaBinLaden bombed the #WorldTradeCenter. #BillClinton attempted to have him captured or killed, but was stopped by overwhelming #political pressure, culminating with #impeachment.

(Continued)

The Ken Paxton #impeachment hearings are expected to wrap this week, but there's still a lot of ground to cover.

In this new update, our #Politics Reporter @justinmiller gets into the #corruption, the abuse of power, and a bible owned by Sam Houston: https://www.texasobserver.org/after-a-week-on-defense-ken-paxton-gets-the-floor/

“When I was teaching #lawSchool, I learned and taught certain #constitutional #principles. When #MajorieTaylorGreene was teaching #CrossFit, she learned a whole different set of values, evidently. Because my idea of what this country should be like is based on the #constitution, and she sees the world differently.” ~Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO)

"As the GOP has become increasingly authoritarian and anti-democracy, Republicans have become increasingly committed to undermining and mocking forms of democratic accountability. A nakedly partisan and clownish impeachment is useful because it signals to voters that all impeachments are clown shows, and all impeachments are partisan. That exculpates former President Donald Trump and delegitimizes resistance to him should he win the presidency again."

The chances of #Jan6 #insurrection #republicans flipping in the #rico indictments just went through the roof. My estimate is over 1000% now that the State Trials in #georgia will be scheduled live on national TV.

None of these traitors will have their indictments moved to #federal jurisdiction.

Republicans in congress will attempt to distract or cancel the TV coverage of the Georgia indictments with #impeachment of #potus

#Trump escalates false attacks on #Biden as some #Republicans push toward #impeachment

In campaign speeches, TFG repeatedly *exaggerates* & *misrepresents* (#lies) claims about #HunterBiden’s foreign business dealings.

“Manchurian candidate.” “Stone-cold thief.” “Dumb son of a b----.”

Trump is, by his own admission, attacking President Biden in increasingly vicious terms.

"Tonight, Secretary of the Navy (Carlos) Del Toro, who was born in Cuba, said on CNN: “I would have never imagined that…one of our own senators would actually be aiding and abetting communist and other autocratic regimes around the world. This is having a real negative impact and will continue to have a real negative impact on our combat readiness. That’s what the American people truly need to understand.”

From yesterday: More dirt on Ken Paxton—the Attorney General loves to go to court, as long as he's suing the Biden administration. When it comes to doing his job—defending state agencies—that's another matter, and a bill for the taxpayers to cover ... https://www.texasobserver.org/ken-paxton-state-agency-court-cases/

"If televised preachers, and televised quacks, and reruns of NCIS have grown over-familiar for your weekday viewing, take a ride down the streaming river of content to Austin, where the Texas Senate is trying Attorney General Ken Paxton on articles of impeachment for allegedly being a greedy mofo."

Republicans are trying to line up televised impeachment hearings with #georgia live trial coverage of the #rico trial.

This is all about using #cnn and #foxcorporation to distract the public from the #insurrection

It's obvious and already happening. corporate media is gearing up for split screen coverage.

#Impeachment vs #insurrection live daily for your collective disgust.

While Ken Paxton has become infamous for his lawsuits against the federal government, he's simultaneously been overlooking a key part of his job: defending #Texas state agencies in court. Instead, according to this investigation by @ProPublica and @texastribune, he's repeatedly forced taxpayers to pay the bill.

#Texas #AttorneyGeneral #KenPaxton “wasn’t the man he publicly proclaimed to be,” the state #HouseRepublican who is leading the #impeachment case against Paxton told the state #Senate on Tuesday.

“He betrayed his constituents & the sacred public trust that’s been given him. And in Texas, we require more from our public officials than to merely avoid being a criminal,” Rep. #AndrewMurr said in his opening statement as Paxton’s impeachment trial began Tuesday afternoon.

https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/05/politics/paxton-impeachment-first-day/index.html

#Murr said #Paxton “turned the keys of the office of attorney general” over to #NatePaul. “He is not fit to be the attorney general of #Texas,” Murr said.

“We do allege that he committed crimes,” Murr said & added, “We don’t have to show some kind of quid pro quo” to establish that Paxton's conduct should result in #impeachment. The goal of this impeachment, he said, is to protect the state from the attorney general.
