You should get signatures on this and actually send it as a request for his impeachment/resignation!

Rook, the English teacher in me applauds your great use of specific, detailed examples to make your case. Let’s hope Ken reads this!

Let’s hope former Republican voters read this. Because Paxton is only one of dozens, hundreds, of Republican legislators who have grifted and conned their voters election after election. And they are all - the entire GOP - right now proving their willingness to see us die rather than lose their cubbyholes of power.

Brilliant! This lazy eyed villain is probably set to become the next senator from Texas unless the people of this state wake the Hell up and vote for whomever wins the Democratic primary!

Absolutely, Nancy. Terrific. So many of these right-wing, failed, convicted, desperate formers are trying to drudge up trouble, stroke the fires of hate to make themselves relevant again. Great article.

Inside these crazies is a really, really scared little white man afraid that the people they've been oppressing are going to pay them back in kind. All they know is fear and attack - how a cornered predator behaves. What pitiful lives.

I completely agree. I’m no English teacher but I’m a big reader and always appreciate people who have a good command of the English language. This was very well done. Today, I’ve been thinking of Mike Johnson who slithered from the bayous of Louisiana under the guise of Christian. I would love to see you take a turn at him as well. I’m sure, as mealy-mouthed as he is, he’ll soon give you an opportunity. Well done sir!

Congrats on a powerful letter to Ken Paxton of Texas— a letter that could also be written to DJ Trump. And I agree, Paxton isn’t a Christian following the Gospel of Jesus Christ— he’s a true Follower of DJ Trump.

I heard he is sending a mole to infiltrate my drum circle. Thanks for the heads up and laughs.

The hypocrisy of that bunch knows no bounds. I doubt any truths or facts will ever get though.

Frankly with many ticks on his list checked, it’s amazing that he was elected and is still in office. Apparently the Tunnel Vision Club, of which he could be the founder, has failed to act appropriately. The voters in Texas must have no qualms about allowing such a person to be the chief legal officer in their state. It’s a totally disgusting state of affairs in Texas although there are other states which are trying to keep up with the Texas malfeasance.
