@TexGuvnah@charlescwcooke@JesseKellyDC Your comment about support for Groomers shows you are unserious, it’s also ironic given Paxton’s leniency for Adam Hoffman. sex change for kids is illegal in Texas it’s also very rare regardless I agree it should not be allowed before 18. Talarico can not legalize it alone.
@TexGuvnah@charlescwcooke@JesseKellyDC All of this puts the seat in jeopardy, why? Because after a school shoot in in Uvalde Cornyn backed a bill that called for tougher background checks in U21 and wife beaters?
@TexGuvnah@charlescwcooke@JesseKellyDC There was enough evidence for the REPUBLICAN controlled Texas house to impeach (indictment) Paxton, if you want to say that was “political” so was the Senate not convicting him.
@TexGuvnah@charlescwcooke@JesseKellyDC Additionally he agreed with to pay 300K in restitution and ethics training for securities fraud, do innocent people typically agree to that type of punishment? Then there’s the open philandering if there were remaining questions about his character
@TexGuvnah@charlescwcooke@JesseKellyDC Wow talk about spin, I wont support Paxton because he is a corrupt sleaze, i don’t care someone “supports” reparations because it will not happen, do you even know how our system works
@JesseKellyDC The bill had tougher restrictions on Under 21 gun buyers, people convicted of domestic abuse and mental illness, no one is taking your guns away.
@TexGuvnah@charlescwcooke@JesseKellyDC How about the fact he’s a crook? He was impeached by his own party, reported by multiple members of his own staff for violations and settled a fraud case against him 🤷♂️
@janecoaston@StephenThorson@janecoaston Why don’t you answer the question and quit being obtuse. We can’t plan out everyone’s future. They can either graduate from reform school, get a GED or drop out, they can get jobs, job training perhaps but at some point they become responsible for themselves
@upsettingtod@chrislhayes Ezra Klein was an extreme partisan back then, i don’t care what he called. IIRC The DC criticized the Pres in a foreign country, I think the people that attacked them for that would have done so for any Republican President not just W. That imo is the difference.
@upsettingtod@chrislhayes principals they once had. Obama was given the Noble Peace Prize just after he was elected for nothing, that’s more cultish imo
@upsettingtod@chrislhayes Sorry I just didn’t see that . People rally around the President after something like 9/11, a President being popular does not equal a personality cult. Trump is a personality cult, supports defend him not matter what, even if it contradicts things he’s said in the past or…..
@KenMathis@chrislhayes I guess your definition of cultish differs from mine, the Dixie Chicks have since changed their name to the Chicks during mass hysteria over George Floyd, that seems more cultish than “boycotting” them for critical comments. I see the later as more about the war/troops than W
@janecoaston Not to sound flippant but unfortunately not all cases have answers, not everyone can be helped. They have to want and accept the help, sometimes we just have to hope it works out.
@Tobydad1@thisismynewalt1@janecoaston I agree but I fear this is where “ideology” becomes an issue, it’s likely to be if not majority black or close in cities and will be as “segregation” or disparate outcome etc.
