Last month, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton won the state’s Republican runoff for US Senate by nearly 30 points, delivering a resounding defeat to incumbent Senator John Cornyn (R-TX).
Please add: Deeply corrupt--accepting multiple bribes; serial cheater--why his GOP wife just divorced him; and illegally abused his office to hide said affairs.
Ken Paxton’s career trajectory suggests he’s not as much a good lawyer as he is a useful tool for organized crime. I wonder what a forensic accountant would find in his personal finances.
The ONLY thing missing from this report is the name of the woman with whom Paxton is having an affair. No one should be protected once in Paxton's sewer of corruption. Good luck, Texas, you get the leaders you deserve including Hot Wheels, one of the most despicable men in office anywhere. And for the plucky little hens of the Lone Star State: how's that patriarchy working out for you?
And one more thing: if Jesus came back and ran for office, he would be Talarico. Will Texas realize that those footsteps in the sand is someone come to help them ease their troubles?
You know, I was thinking why hasn't he failed? Then I looked at his friends and the power he wields. He must have his grubby fingers in the business of everyone in Texas. As Attorney General, he can do as much harm and corruption to individuals in Texas as Bondi and Blanche have done in Washington.
We are about to see if the voters in Texas will actually vote for this criminal,this morally bankrupt Republican over a man who is sane,responsible and who has integrity. My guess is that they are so far gone into their Fauxnooz delusional world that they will never vote for anyone who identifies as a Democrat. The FauxChristian churches have done an excellent job of convincing weak minded people that they will burn in hell if they ever vote for any Democrat. The best we can hope is that they stay home or leave the Senatorial ballot blank.
Texas is like a George Orwell cautionary tale of isolating and brainwashing. First, they isolate Texans as the biggest, the best, the only, the whatever so Texans think of themselves outside of the mainstream of American thought and values. Then they brainwash these monkeys into thinking they are being persecuted by...gay people. I laugh. By women who want bodily autonomy. I cringe. By people of color (not Texans of color but the others). I gag. They have Texased themselves out of the American way of life. And yet America, like mother, will always take care of them when they need to be taken care of.
Boy howdie. Paxton is just a mini-trump, slashing and burning his way through the law and decency. He also seems to be blessed with an inability to take responsibility for his malfeasance, and like trump, he manages to mostly escape any reckoning. Maybe his run of good luck will come to an abrupt end when Talarico beats the pants off of this excuse for a public official.
I think my "favorite" Paxton transgression is when he stole the Mt. Blanc pen, worth about $1,000 that someone had left at a security station. Ken thought it should be his, so he just TOOK it...on video.
It does help to have the full laundry list. He has all the qualifications for the Seditionist/Convicted Felon/Rapist Club…formerly known as Republican Party.
If Paxton wins and is elected to the US Senate, it will solidify just how much awfulness Texans are willing to support. Probably the same folks who have vilified the person in Maine running against Susan Collins (blocking on his name at the moment). I've always known to be wary of people without any sense of hypocrisy. We'll see....
Ken Paxton: awful human being, consummate Republican candidate in Trump's GOP in 2026. There is no bottom to the barrel.
Please add: Deeply corrupt--accepting multiple bribes; serial cheater--why his GOP wife just divorced him; and illegally abused his office to hide said affairs.
So happy that someone finally put all of this in writing! What an odious and dangerous person. Thank you Judd as always for cutting through the noise.
Noel Sims, not Judd wrote today’s post.

Thank for this. It should be required reading for every one of voting age in Texas.

To look at it in a mathematical way, "Too big to fail" has a corollary, "Too corrupt to jail", and Paxton is a part of the proof.

I've never looked at that particular race. What were the ultimate number of votes for Paxton vs Talarico? That's a huge tell.

Those “Christians” in Texas are sure “forgiving” of “sins” and outright breaking the law of the Land.

"And he won't steal your pen."
Hmmmm, a person with absolutely no redeeming qualities……
Paxton is a career white collar criminal operating under the cloak of government. He is mini-Trump without the charisma.
Bet he definitely gets elected. I thought his impeachment would be the end of him but GOP PROTECT GOP& Republican voters will always vote Republican.
I read Jonathan Mentzl’s book “dying of whiteness” which explains why.
Bottom line: Rs top priorities are usually- white supremacy; guns & anti gay (minorities).
At least he may not be named in the Epstein (45,47) files. Unlike 45,47
He probably never met Epstein.
Talarico or Paxton? Or, as Fox News loves to frame things, "Good or bad"? How can there be any question?
Ian,
I miss the "good ol' days" when we used to ask questions such as, "Could someone like Hitfler(sic) ever gain power in a democracy such as America?"
Someone now living was the LAST American to ever legitimately ask this question.
Ken Paxton is up there with Austin(!!) based Alex Jones as 2 of Texas's top embarrassments
