20 years ago that might have had an impact, but today, in Trump's GOP? They don't bat an eye at sin and corruption. All that "party of values" poo poo is long gone.

Maybe? The fact Bonnen stepped down after that recording, and Sen. Schwertner lost his HHSC chair after sending dick pics to a grad student, still makes me feel like the bar in Texas isn't as low as DC when the news actually reaches the public. (Still low though, and probably the same when it doesn't get media coverage.)

I do wonder what impact all this will have on Sen. Paxton's career/public image. Husband's corruption makes her look bad, but an affair makes you feel bad for her.

Apparently she knew about it in 2018. She went with him to tell some close advisors about the affair because they were worried it would get out during his AG campaign. It didn't. Also he "recommitted to his marriage" which loving evangelicals loving love so I don't know how that plays with Angela and her sway in the Senate.

that said, yeah probably don't fly with it. If you're having trouble finding weed, go hang out on the back patio of a bar in a hippy/hipster area and talk to the dude that smells like or is openly smoking weed.

Yeah but that isn't as funny as the image of a goon flying to CO to buy mids.

Also I think any amount of concentrate is considered a felony here.

Pretty much state leadership has been waiting to see how the election shakes out before they make a big deal about this. I don't think it's any coincidence this came out once it became clear Trump was likely done. His DoJ won't investigate this, Biden's will.

Sorry but I think you'll find that on Jan 21st 2021 we will find ourselves in need of Healing, and that we should Unite Together and Fix this country. We should be looking forwards to the bright American Future, not backwards to the dark past. It will be a new morning in America, and we should let bygones be bygones.

The whole reason this race wasn't called Tuesday night was because of a GOP scheme on the part of the PA legislature to produce this exact result.

Also I'd caution against making sweeping conclusions about the state of demographic voting blocs or what needs to be done in the future, we don't have all the data yet.

Except that Texas is a permanently conservative state, you can take that to the bank.

In my brain I think it's a bit of a longshot for the mail-in ballots to change very much, but everything in my body and heart wants them to.

Although even if it doesn't tip Biden over, maybe it'll do something to the local races.

They want the psychos to stay mad so they can harness that for wins in two years. They don’t give a poo poo about Trump they got everything they could have wanted out of him and were running out of excuses on why they were doing nothing to help people with him in office. Time for Biden to absorb all the blame for their poo poo.
