The vindictive and unhinged Malignant Fascist's favorite candidate for Senate from Texas, fellow fraudster and adulterer Ken Paxton, handily won the runoff election for the MAGAt cult nomination for Senate yesterday, defeating lame incumbent Sen. John "Big John" Cornyn, who tried to out ass-kiss Paxton for the MF's endorsement. The corrupt slug Paxton will face rising Dem star James Talarico in November's general election. The contrast between Talarico and the grimy Paxton (and the MF) couldn't be greater. Here's a thumbnail description of Paxton:
"Paxton first gained national attention when he sued four key battleground states in an attempt to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory. He has also been the subject of several scandals during his tenure. In 2015, he was indicted on two counts of securities fraud and one count of failing to register as an investment adviser with state regulators. In 2024, Paxton agreed to pay nearly three hundred thousand dollars in restitution and to perform a hundred hours of community service, without admitting wrongdoing. In 2023, Paxton was also accused of abusing his office to assist in the case of Nate Paul, a real-estate developer and a donor to Paxton’s campaign who was separately charged with wire fraud and making false statements on loan applications. Paul had allegedly helped fund a renovation of Paxton’s Austin home and had hired a woman with whom Paxton was reportedly having an extramarital affair. Paxton was impeached by the Texas House before being acquitted by the state Senate." (our emphasis)
As with their glorious leader in three Presidential elections, the MAGAt cult supported the corrupt, sleazy Paxton over the incumbent, who was deemed by the MF to be insufficiently loyal to him, despite indications that Paxton will face a tougher race against Talarico and require more money for his campaign to overcome his glaring character flaws with the general electorate. Incumbent Cornyn was no savior of the Republic either, abasing himself before the MF and declining to buck him on any issue of importance, including his vote to acquit the MF after he was impeached for the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol. Here's Texan Michael Wood's take on Cornyn:
"John Cornyn is not and never was a victim. Actually, he has had more agency in our country’s existential fight against Trumpism than roughly 99.999% of Americans. In 2021 there were exactly 100 people who could have put this sad and sorry chapter of American history behind us for good, and in that moment John Cornyn hid behind Mitch McConnell’s skirt, who was himself hiding behind a completely contrived constitutional justification for letting Trump get away with an attempted coup—as if McConnell himself wasn’t the reason the Senate trial was delayed until after January 20.
Fifty-seven United States senators were able to do the right and obvious thing and voted to convict and bar that evil man from ever holding public office again, including seven Republican senators. John Cornyn, however, could not do what his oath of office required. I’m sure the senator was very lawyerly and eloquent in his explanation of why the man sitting in the seat of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln shouldn’t have been held responsible for the feces his mob spread all over the walls of our seat of government—but you know, and I know, and John Cornyn knows, that this little man didn’t want a primary challenge six freaking years later.
And yet again the world is shown the fruits of every Faustian bargain ever made: you sell your soul, and in the end you lose your soul without even getting the object of your desire." (our emphasis)
Now Cornyn can decide whether he wants to remain on the MAGAt train for the rest of his term, or grow a spine and gonads and oppose the vindictive monster he enabled. Our money is on his continued submission.
