    Even a shitbag broken clock like Ken Paxton can be right sometimes. But purely by accident.

      Yes, as the saying goes, “Even a stuffed cluck tells the right time twice a day.”

    Ken Paxton is only doing this to get paid by the automakers to allow this in Texas. He isn’t going to fight. This is just a warning shot that they need to start paying.

    Remove Ken Paxton! Texas needs real, honest justice.

      I am still holding out that they dropped the 15 federal indictments so he would be emboldened and hang himself with all the rope they gave him.
