Ken Paxon dodges subpoena, showing GOP's love of law and order

Moving goal posts. We were talking about Jan 6 and whether it was an attempt to delay certification or an attempt to 'overthrow the election.' Are we just sidestepping that to talk instead about investigations since then, or what? When you just just say 'simple' and then move on to a different topic, it seems like you're not really invested in the discussion. In which case, I have better things to do.... ur call.

 

"Politics" is not voting in support of a maneuver to stop the certification of the newly elected prez.

 

If you have read anything about John Eastman or the fake electors scheme you'd know it was about both a delay of the certification and trying to reverse the result of the election to keep Trump in power. I can't believe you are confused about that at this late date with all the readily available info in the public domain.

 

What was the charge? "breathing while republican"?

 

Paxton is an absolute piece of **** that's not fit to practise law so this does not shock me.

 

Its a subpoena to come testify in a civil lawsuit. He, an officer of the court and an official of the state government, is being called as a witness. Properly summoned by a court within 100 miles of his residence = you show the **** up.
A normie ducking a subpoena like that is in deep ****.

 

I think you may have miscalculated here. "Law and Order" ONLY applies when law enforcement is killing black and brown people and Trump can't use his (donors') deep pockets to bully people he owes money to give up in court.

 

Oh, I know thats the narrative being spun, what I havnt seen is any evidense whatsoever that those attempting to impliment the the delay did so with the intent of 'overthrowing' the govt. That part looks to be made up.

 

Ken Paxton just showed he doesn't have the cajones to face something that is pretty routine for a AG.

 

Make sure you sprinkle "black" and "brown" into everything, just for the hell of it! The real racism is trying to group them together as ONE group of people. I dare you to go up to a big black dude and ask him "what kind of hispanic" are you?
I dare you to ask a big buff hispanic person "what kind of african are you"?
let me know how that works since you seem to think they are the SAME.
Just because you want to be in a hive, don't force that crap on other people.
COMPRENDE ESE?

 

If your contention is that the idiot pawns who stormed the Capital were not aware of the master plan to use the delay to carry out Eastman's plot, I have no problem agreeing. That doesn't mean there was no master plan.

The sudden interest in law and order is refreshing. There is a term for painting an entire group with a broad stroke based on the actions of a few. Racists do the same thing.

Politicians try to stay in office as long as they can so they don't have to live under the laws they helped create!

 

There are that many Repug grifters in Washing DC?

 

Weird it's MY topic, I was talking about LAW AND ORDER Repugnants, go look at first post

The current batch of TFG "supporters", elected at least have shown repeatedly they don't really care about backing the blue, it's simply taking a position with them that "shows" they back the blue

As for the other "supporters" of TFG, I believe most just don't G.A.F. and are ok with ANYTHING, as long as TFG is happy with them, you know since he "loves" the uneducated

 

DELAY?

Congress certified the election of Joseph R. Biden Jr. early Thursday, ending attempts to overturn the results in two states. Senators Josh Hawley of Missouri, Ted Cruz of Texas, Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, Cindy Hyde-Smith of Mississippi, Roger Marshall of Kansas and John Kennedy of Louisiana voted to overturn the results in Arizona, while 93 senators voted against. Mr. Hawley, Mr. Cruz, Mr. Tuberville, Ms. Hyde-Smith, Mr. Marshall and Senators Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming and Rick Scott of Florida voted to overturn the results in Pennsylvania, while 92 voted against it.

The House rejected the Arizona challenge by a vote of 303 to 121 and rejected the Pennsylvania challenge by a vote of 282 to 138.

What FKNNNG DELAY?

Deleted.

 

You are cherry picking data. It does not work. You have no case.

 

Well I'm glad we can agree on that, but I'm talking about the elected representatives you mentioned. Do you think they were involved in a conspiracy to overthrow the govt when they supported the 10-day delay for investigation? If so, what is your evidence that they were active participants in said plot?

 

You mean delay.

 

The 10-day delay that the 'Stop the Steal' demonstration was calling for prior to the idiot Q rioters ruining it all and providing the MSM with the 'insurrection' narrative it needed to drown everything in bullshit.

 

You replied to a response I made to someone else. Did you not know that?

 

Cherry picking? Weird I thought showing 15 or so Tru,p Repugs would show how much the "new" GQP "believes in L/O??

 

Nonsense

Fact-Checking the Congressional Debate on Ratifying the Election Results


“I would like to point out that all of the cases that have been thrown out have been thrown out on standing, not the evidence of voter fraud.”
— Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, Republican of Georgia

False
The Trump campaign and its allies have brought 60-some lawsuits challenging various aspects of the voting system and the counting, and have won one. Some cases have been thrown out for procedural reasons including a lack of standing by the plaintiffs to bring the suits. But a New York Times tally found that two-thirds of the lawsuits did not allege voter fraud. In the nearly dozen that did, the claims collapsed under scrutiny. For example, the Trump campaign in Nevada claimed that its experts had found “120,000 unique instances of voter fraud.” A court in Nevada said the campaign presented “no credible or reliable evidence that the 2020 general election in Nevada was affected by fraud” and that its expert testimony “was of little to no value.”

“How can this election be certified using a system that still displays after two months that 205,000 more votes were cast in Pennsylvania than people who voted?”
— Representative Scott Perry, Republican of Pennsylvania

False.

“And there were objections from every Republican president in my lifetime, in 1989, 2001, in 2005 and in 2017.”
— Representative Elise Stefanik, Republican of New York

This is misleading.
It’s true that Democratic lawmakers have objected to counting a state’s electors after the elections of Republican presidents in 2001, 2005 and 2017, but none did so in 1989. Moreover, Ms. Stefanik is neglecting to mention that the objections were overruled in 2001 and 2017. And unlike President Trump, the losing candidate in all three years had already conceded, making the objections largely symbolic rather than part of a concerted effort to block or overturn the result.

An objection must be made and signed by both a member of the House and the Senate. In 2001 and 2017, the objecting House members were unable to find a senator to co-sign, and were overruled by the presiding chairs at the time, Vice President Al Gore and Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. In 2005, two Democrats serving in Congress at the time — Representative Stephanie Tubbs Jones of Ohio and Senator Barbara Boxer of California — objected to counting Ohio’s electoral votes. The two chambers then convened debate and rejected the objections.
