Ken Paxton's Former Lawyer Endorses His Democratic Opponent
The lawyer, Dan Cogdell, helped save Mr. Paxton from criminal charges and an impeachment, but now he says the Texas attorney general has "lost sight of his mission."

Typical mis-read.

Typical Dunning Kruger effect

The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias where people with limited knowledge or skill in a domain overestimate their own competence, while true experts tend to underestimate theirs.

Well, that would explain your political blindness....

Cornyn has less "integrity and character" than a street prostitute.

I don't like Paxton, but Cornyn has been a lying hypocrite for decades.

---

Then, Paxton would have less than the pimp.

---

Sorry for you that your buddy Talarico turned out to be another empty suit, like Beto before him.

---

Cornyn wasn't impeached or indicted as AG or as Senator. I voted for Cornyn and character/integrity. You know, the things Christian Nationalists can't comprehend.

---

So if someone plays the politicians long enough, kisses enough butts, you just ignore whether or not they are screwing the voters.

---

I guess you don't apply that philosophy to Trump or Paxton.

---

Talarico would screw more voters in his first term than Paxton and Trump together have done in total.

---

I'm not a fan of Talarico. However, Paxton and Trump have a record of corruption, and screwing people over. I thought you would give Talarico credit for being a "Christian." Trump isn't a Christian, and Paxton doesn't behave like anything I was taught were Christian qualities. I guess you follow Christ when it is convenient.

---

I follow the Christ in Scripture. Talarico believes in a Jesus he can use as a puppet for his politics.

You, from what I can see, lean towards Talarico's puppet, so your position is not a surprise.

---

yeah, what you recon Cheetos religious views are? He ain't NO Christian and has attritted so. So, that's ok with you? You down with Trump living his great Christian. Glad your no a freaking religious hypocrite. gross

You have to be kidding. You follow Trump and he is a master at using/duping Christians for his politics. Paxton is following suit. Again, I'm not for Talarico, but he conducts himself in a Christlike manner. Neither Trump nor Paxton have any qualities of character that I was raised to believe were Christlike.

You know nothing about "Christlike" if you think Talarico acts that way. He is more the opposite with his lies and blasphemies.

On June 9 a poll by Sienna showed Paxton & Talarico were tied

If we are still in this weird lukewarm war with Iran in November, Paxton will probably lose because America First conservatives will just stay home.

The possibility of Low T Jimmy winning will result in a larger turnout of real Texans: those of us who know how many sexes there are, what a woman is, who God the Father is (& the Son), and those of us who want to keep the borders closed, taxes down, America safe, etc. In other words, patriots.

I noticed you didnt mention war with Iran as something real Texans care about... for once I agree with you.

Well hello again, and as expected you continue to post like Ted Kennedy on a bender, JR.

I know the idea of voting for someone because of policy preferences is one you struggle with, and you seem to have memory issues about the moral limits of some of our past Presidents. Even Reagan was a divorced man who once accidentally raised the Soviet's alert level with a joke.

I get it, you hate Trump and cannot abide that he is President. You ignore everything I have written before about not liking him personally, and in fact never voted for Trump in a primary, only the General election because the Democrat was clearly worse. And unlike some, I don't pretend there is virtue in not voting.

I did not mention it because it's unnecessary: we have a peace deal which is essentially what Trump was demanding all along. The MoU that all the pundits said didn't exist has been released confirming pretty much everything Trump said about it. The Strait of Hormuz is opening and traffic is returning to normal. Oil & gas prices are going down, soon below $3 per gallon in Texas (the fascists really mess up the national avg with their insane policies in blue states) and the economy is already improving. Just as Trump said it would. By November, we could be experiencing a huge boom and voters will know it's because of Trump's policies and all the Dems will look even more stupid than they do.

Voters have no reason to vote for perverts & freaks like Talarico. The GOP will win big in Texas and throughout the south and other parts of the country. The GOP will retain both houses of Congress and could very well gain seats in both houses. The Dems will help them win by continuing to say and go stupid things.

We will soon have our 250th birthday party and patriots will enjoy it immensely. So will most of the World Cup tourists who are already discovering how great America is and love it (see the other thread). Meanwhile, the fascists continue to be as negative and anti-American as they have been for decades.

WTH does he mean "work with"? The bill making Juneteenth a federal/national holiday was a sentence long and had 60 co-sponsors in the senate.

Also She-Jack was in the House... in a different party... And the corresponding house bill had over 170 co-sponsors in the House.

Cringeworthy., but somehow better than who beat him in the primary.

Tied race

Bad news for Low-T then as his numbers will only continue to drop as more and more people figure out what a nut bar he is.

I have made this very clear many, many times. My disdain for Trump is 1 thing and 1 thing only. He is a Disaster for the US. His, Lying, cheating, bullying, name calling, unqulification, convicted of sexual assault. Twice impeached, Grifting Family like the world has never seen. Alienated our Allies and friends the was indignant the would bail his ass out when he didn't bother to give them a heads up, our place in the world is damaged forever. Those are the ingredients that constitutes why I think Trump is horrible for the US. I think I have been proven right on that score. We are a effing mess.

Good morning again, puppet of malice. I see you have forgotten how these things work.

Every so often, a year sometimes, two years in the case of Congress and four years in the case of the office of the President, we Americans have an election. As is our custom, the elections are expensive, noisy and frankly annoying in many ways, but whoever gets elected is the valid authority in that office. Trump won the election in 2016, lost in 2020, then won in 2024. So it happens that as much as you hate him, Donald Trump is the duly-elected President of the United States.

Now that same Constitution that tells us Trump is actually the President of the United States, grants him in that role the powers of Commander in Chief of our military.

All your taunts, insults, slander, observations, comments, et cetera ad nauseum do not in any way detract from that authority.

Further, your inability to post a criticism without insults or spite does not help your credibility.

No American with an IQ north of 70 cares about your opinion. You disqualify yourself with almost every post you spew.

And you think Paxton is Christlike??? Trump minion??? Serial cheater on his wife, not to mention his scandals, and AG staff attorneys refusal to take unlawful actions at his request.. Talarico wasn't impeached by a Republican controlled house. Paxton seems to be the bigger lier and blasphemer.

In this Senate race, I will not be casting a vote. Sure, Talarico is a whack job. But there is no way I will cast a vote for Paxton. The man is morally bankrupt. A putrid human being.

I really tired of having to hold my nose and vote for the lesser of two evils. Just not gonna do it anymore.

Just understand that you are still making a choice, and helping a candidate to gain office.

If the system only allows you two choose between two garbage options its time to reform the system.... or just cut the crap and go back to feudalism... at least they were honest back then things were transparent and people knew exactly how little power they really had

JR, you are a sad, petty bitter little man. Your divorce from honesty really left you deep in spite and not much more.

I pity you.

You do understand, though, the Democrats in Texas want you to think your vote does not matter. Just as many people want you to think the primaries don't matter.

No, I neither like nor respect Paxton. But it's either putting a Republican or a Democrat in that Senate seat, and sir that still impacts this nation.
