The epitome of a self entitled low class Karen.

This whole thing just gets worse and worse. There is video of Rep. Boebert massaging her date's crotch with both hands while he was playing with her chest. It appears to be footage from the same city theater owned camera that shows her vaping, so doubtful it's any kind of deepfake

Well done, RNC. So much for being the 'Family Values' party.

When one gets away with it over and over again. With it seems they will continue controlling the government. No fear of being held accountable.

The verdict could propel the conservative Republican’s political future at home and potentially on the national stage.



It seems deceit, corruption, bribery, and adultery are all indispensable virtues in a MAGA politician.
EUREKA, found it! Maga-Lardo's 2024 VP pick! He's a natural.

Besides being a thoroughly corrupt MAGA clown, Paxton was the guy behind the last ditch lawsuit tied to the fake elector scheme. That's part of the reason MAGAWorld is so supportive of him.

Also, we need to realize they are riding the tiger. The Jan 6/Trump prosecutions say to them they are in an existential struggle that they have to win. Since they believe that, they have the ability to make it true--for us as well as for them. It already is civil war, in other words.

Ken Paxton verdict is an injury for Texas and conservatism
The foundation of truth and justice are broken for too many in Texas GOP.

We have come to a place of great danger, where the plain evidence of corruption can no longer overcome the majority party’s determination to protect its self-interest and its agents. The philosophy at play is that the end justifies the means, and the means don’t seem to matter.
We see this philosophy play out time and again in Whell's World, right here on these forums. Truth be damned, party über alles!

The enemy must be defeated (at all costs) and we (the GOP) are the ones to say who the enemy is.
