I give you the modern GOP.
@georgetakei pardoned a pedo, why is that missing from the list?
@georgetakei Those things are exactly why he won.

@georgetakei He's a real POS, always has been, always will be.

Perfect for the Texas GOP.

@georgetakei got a bonus gold star from the GOP for pardoning a pedo who was in jail for life. They love protecting their little baby fuckers.
@coldfish the pedo network is stronger than we want to know. @georgetakei
@Dodo_sipping @coldfish @georgetakei turns out a good portion of Americans are completely fine with pedophilia as long as it’s only used as an incentive for the rich and powerful. Poor people diddling kids is gross, though.
@passwordsarehard4 this is not only an American problem. The network of rich pedos and traffickers is working globally. @coldfish @georgetakei
@georgetakei when you scrape the bottom of the barrel enough, eventually you break through and allow in all manner of grossness.

@georgetakei
Paxton's opponent in the GOP runoff, Sen. John Cornyn put up a site which lambastes him called Crooked Ken Paxton. It was taken down this morning but fortunately has been archived at the Wayback Machine. πŸ™‚
Much of it is useful for Dems.

One thing I learned there is that Paxton has ties to an Albanian oligarch.

Crooked Ken Paxton: The Truth About His Scandals

A deep dive into Ken Paxton’s record of corruption, fraud, and political hypocrisy exposed.

@georgetakei That’s one heck of a Rap Sheet.
@georgetakei was he maybe endorsed by someone higher up in the GOP? Some guy with orange skin and a taste for McDonald's?
@georgetakei The available evidence demonstrates that MAGA loves criminals and perverts.
@georgetakei What's with his right eye?
@riley @georgetakei His eye is fine - it's the rest of his head that is wrong.

@Oyu_Fka No, I mean β€” has he gone through a stroke, or maybe tried to apply his own botox?

@georgetakei

@riley @georgetakei Ah, I see...

@Oyu_Fka At first, I thought it was one unfortunate video frame, but he's having it the same way in numerous photos. And old photos of him appear to not have this feature. => Some sort of health incident happened.

@georgetakei

@riley @georgetakei Yes, I thought the same, and also noted other pictures prior to this one were fine - I think you're right, maybe health issue...πŸ€”.

Edit: maybe a minor stroke - his smile on the right side droops a little as well.

@georgetakei This is the best that MAGAts have to offer.
@georgetakei A man guilty of hunting down transgender children, parents, and doctors. A man that prevented a woman from having an emergency abortion because it threatened her life.

@georgetakei Douglas Adams comes to mind:
"It comes from a very ancient democracy, you see..."
"You mean, it comes from a world of lizards?"
"No," said Ford, who by this time was a little more rational and coherent than he had been, having finally had the coffee forced down him, "nothing so simple. Nothing anything like so straightforward. On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."
"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford. "It is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them," said Ford. "They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates to the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards?"
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard," said Ford, "the wrong lizard might get in. Got any gin?"
"What?"
"I said," said Ford, with an increasing air of urgency creeping into his voice, "have you got any gin?"
"I'll look. Tell me about the lizards."
Ford shrugged again.
"Some people say that the lizards are the best thing that ever happened to them," he said. "They're completely wrong of course, completely and utterly wrong, but someone's got to say it."
"But that's terrible," said Arthur.

I think a lot of the Republicans are just so used to the lizards, they just can't fathom living without them.

@georgetakei -wannabe Mini-Me Trump, but with most of the infractions Donnie achieved before completing high school.
Assuming he did.
@georgetakei a perfect candidate for the Republican party.. let me guess, he also claims to be a devout Christian?
"a fit like ass on bucket", as we call it here..
@georgetakei Has this been under the surface, and is now in the open. Repugnicans are scum.
@georgetakei as an Australian, it seems like just another day in the USA
@georgetakei what can you say, he is doung everything perfectly right - the stupidity of ppl avard him for being dispicable. Why should je change if this is the road to success with the USamericans. They love their Guardians Of Pedophiles.
