In 2011, K-SWISS let Kenny Powers become MFCEO. He terrorized the boardroom, insulted everyone and launched a shoe called TUBES.
Advertising peaked here.
Have you ever seen a more redneck sport than this? The race cars go around the track trying to be the first one to load onto the trailer being pulled by the truck. 🤣🤣🤣
If you want a dog like this, first off, you’re going to need a Belgian Malinois. They are essentially the Ferraris of the dog world.
But good luck having the patience to slowly train them. It takes a massive amount of time, and you basically need the dedication of a full-time dog trainer to chain all those complex behaviors together.
Once you actually get them to this level, though? They treat training sessions like a trip to the amusement park. Their work drive is so insane that they are genuinely enjoying the absolute hell out of it.
So what does a $3,000,000 payoff buy you?
Just weeks before the 2023 impeachment trial, a pro-Ken Paxton PAC handed Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick $3M in campaign cash and loans.
Coincidentally, Patrick and the Senate rewrote the rules to ensure Paxton walked free.
Here is how the trial was engineered from day one:
The "Wife Math" Trick
* Senator Angela Paxton (Ken’s wife) was banned from voting due to conflict of interest.
* Yet, Patrick's rules forced her to sit in the chamber during the vote anyway.
* By counting her as "present," the 2/3 conviction threshold stayed at 21 votes.
* Her silent seat mathematically functioned as an automatic "No" vote.
The 6-Month Jail Threat
* Patrick slapped an aggressive, unprecedented gag order on the entire Capitol.
* Any senator or witness who spoke out faced up to 6 months in a county jail.
* He even banned live floor debate—senators voted in total, mandated silence.
The Fifth Amendment Shield
* Impeachment is a political process, meaning defendants usually must take the stand.
* Patrick broke precedent and ruled that Paxton could skip testifying entirely.
* This completely shielded the Attorney General from hostile cross-examination.
The Hidden Charges
* The Texas House sent over 20 serious articles of impeachment.
* Senate rules immediately sliced off 4 of the most damaging felony securities fraud charges.
* The moment the rigged trial ended, those 4 remaining charges were quietly erased.
The Bottom Line
When the umpire rewrites the rulebook and banks a multimillion-dollar check from your biggest fans, the game is over before it even starts. The 2023 trial wasn't an execution of justice—it was a masterclass in institutional corruption that paved the exact runway Paxton is using to run for the U.S. Senate today.
@DallasTexasTV Wow no increase ... that doesn't help my son at all ... why not have the Texas be on time loan like we used to 10 years ago to reward awesome students
Trump on cognitive test: They had a question like. Pick a number, sir — any number. Okay, 203. Multiply it by 9. Divide by… 2. Add on 1,324. Subtract 1,292. Multiply it one more time by 19. What is the answer, sir? And I got it right.
What @Takahiro_Omori did on Day 3 of @kubota_usa Heavy Hitters Presented by @BassProShops can only be described as “incredible.” In Period 2, Omori tried to find some unfished backwaters he thought could only be accessed via extremely shallow Orange Lake waters – waters that proved to be impassable as he got stuck on dry land.
After attempting to get unstuck conventionally and with the help of an airboat, he got a ride back to the ramp and the airboat went back to get his boat out. Fast-forward to about 30 minutes left in the final frame and Omori had just served his 15-minute penalty for needing his boat to be rescued.
He headed back out on Orange Lake in search of one bass to get him back above the @Lucas_Oil Cut Line. The rest, as they say, is history. And straight-up magic.
