A Bloody Civil War Of Epic Proportions

It will be absolutely fabulous, messy, and entertaining. The best part is Democrats' hands will remain clean.

Yesterday, the Republican cowards in the Senate acquitted the most corrupt Attorney General in America because they were scared. They feared how Tim Dunn would use his vast resources against them, and they bent to pressure from the recipient of Dunn’s $3 million, Dan Patrick. Now, Ken Paxton is back in office, and you can count on him to seek retribution. But ol’ Ken is far from the only player in the Civil War brewing in Texas.

If you missed it, after Paxton was acquitted yesterday, Dan Patrick gave one hell of a speech and essentially declared war on the Texas House. Check it out:


Here are some of my favorite quotes from his self-inflated monologue:

“We didn’t need to be told in the final arguments how important this vote was.” (A direct shot at Jeff Leach.)

“In the House, the vote to send the articles of impeachment to the Senate only happened in a few days.” (A direct shot at Andrew Murr.)

“The Speaker and his team rammed through the first statewide articles of impeachment in almost 100 years.” (A direct shot at Dade Phelan.)

It appears Patrick's price was $3 million. What about the others? Hermit-The-Prog Sep 2023 #2

On AM hate radio, sometimes screaming, and sometimes speaking in tongues. (Seriously.)
