Family values.

My Gospels professor said adultery was the only Biblical reason for divorce. Paxton is such a monster I hope he really suffers for this.

Words fail me

“Biblical Grounds”? Isn’t he in favor of displaying the Ten Commandments in public schools?

Weird. They’re all so weird

As a person that lives in Texas, I would also like to divorce him on biblical grounds.

I don't think that's a legal reason. 😜

GOD APPARENTLY BLESSED YOU WITH SOME MISTRESSES,EVIL MIND, EVIL WORDS,AND HOW MANY OF THEM 10 COMMANDMENTS DID YOU BREAK

too bad. i wish them nothing but the worst.

I'm Schadenfreuding. That's a word,right? 🤣

It sure should be.

No

It sure is now! Because so am I!!!

Legal Grounds for divorce in Texas: Texas law outlines 7 specific grounds, which include insupportability (irreconcilable differences), cruelty, adultery, felony conviction, abandonment, living apart for certain period, and confinement in a mental hospital. 🤷‍♀️ Obviously, Mrs Paxton is no lawyer....

Biblical baby, biblical.

I guess she is referring to the 7th commandment, or maybe Leviticus 18:22

She JUST learned about his decade(s) of corruption or something?

Is this “biblical” basis of the divorce related to Kenny’s bris? Asking as a Jew

dead girl or live boy

Biblical Grounds

Explain “Biblical Grounds”?

It took most of us 15 minutes to realize that Ken Paxton is a dirtbag. It took his wife 38 years. Better late than never.

Wonder what Biblical passage best describes Paxton? Maybe; Proverbs 24:1-2 – “Do not be envious of evil men, nor desire to be with them. For their heart devises violence, and their lips speak of troublemaking.”

So the dead people in Texas didn’t love G_d is what she is saying. Right???

Good name for a really bitter new coffee brand.

Does this imply that he must be stoned to death, per biblical terms?

damn did he wear cotton and wool at the same time

Well, clutch my pearls!! How could this happen? So devout! So holy!

Paxton’s estranged wife wants something or she’d have kept this secret.

Ah, so she’s going for the fault based divorce to gain sympathy and property.

Is she getting divorced or not? There is no such thing as a divorce on “biblical grounds” in American jurisprudence. Is she getting a Catholic annulment? Even that is not on “biblical” grounds but ecclesiastical. What’s the real reason? Is he on the Epstein list? The biggest W - why should I care?

Ken Paxton was caught coveting his neighbor's oxen one too many times.

😂 I'm not familiar with that particular euphemism, but it's hilarious!

What euphemism?

Oxen

Poor oxen! Where is the ASPCA?

Potato Paxton = moldy mashed potatoes fried in motor oil.😁

🏆😂😂🤣💯

but the ox had a smile on her face......... 😇 😂

Not his neighbor's ass? I was sure it would be his neighbor's ass.

So he cheated on her.

I'm breaking out the wine. 🍷 For biblical purposes, of course.

😄🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😄

Really. She made sure she got the home remodel of her dreams. She witnessed her husband's embarrassment & probably took delight in it. Ken Baxton is a Tool & TX is too backward to know they are being punked.

Just say he’s a cheating asshole. Religion has nothing to do with it except to be used as a crutch.

Also…😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

You should have to comply with the political ideology of what you vote for in America, and if that ideology happens to be Theocracy= no divorce. Or is she doing the New Testament for this? Old for you New for me.

Pathetic

So many grounds to choose from! And yet, when the time comes, go for the strongest most damning ones.

Ken wants "prayers and privacy"? Nope, those are reserved for decent people, Ken.

These Christian Hypocrites always have to take their peccadillos and foibles and wrap them up in a big biblical Bow 🙇‍♀️ 🙄 😒 😑 How she didn't realize that he was stepping out of the marriage long ago, & decided to do something about it (long ago), tells you how important the Bible is to her.

Fingers crossed that "biblical grounds" somehow involves a crowd throwing rocks at him.

Thoughts and prayers!!

I don’t think it’s possible to hate both the Paxtons Any more than I already do, but I can try.

🤮🤮🤮

Two odious ppl and Jesus rolls his eyes.

That’s comical 🤦🏻‍♂️

Which ones? She voted against impeachment of her husband knowing fully well of his abuse and “ungodly acts” mistress and such.

She had to recuse herself from that vote. But I wondered why she stayed with him after that. The proof was there... for ALL to see!

You're right, recused but allowed to atttend the proceedings. She had a front row seat to all charges he faced. Undue influence, sitting amongst her colleagues? As for her divorce, personal choice.

Agreed. "undue influence" has been handed to her from her first term in office because she is married Kenneth. Have you seen where her office is in the capitol? Probably the second most influential spot there. Why? She doesn't have any kind of senate seniority.

Such great entertainment.

Hopefully, she can spike his Senate primary against Cornyn with a well-timed revelation or Cornyn can get the dirt and leak it. Cornyn is weak and a coward, but in his heart, he’s no MAGA. I think he truly hates Trump for sending a violent mob who would’ve ripped him apart if they’d caught him.

Didn’t he use the AG‘s office to help his mistress’s husband‘s business interests? That always sounded like a thruple to me. But since she mentions recent discoveries (plural) maybe he’s gone polycule.

You can bet those “biblical grounds” had nothing to do with what he has done for, erm, to “the least of these”.

Who the hell would fuck Ken Paxton is the bigger question???

Parental DNA confirmation can whip the vows right out of you.

Sooooooo he cheated? Like a lot. That’s what that means.

Extramarital affairs don’t seem to upset anyone in GOP MAGA land. Cross-reference Dictator Trump.

Yup

Someone told her of his fondness for the 3rd stall in the men's washroom at the local Shop n Save.

Sure. The marriage contract was signed by God. What a couple of phonies!

“Recent discoveries“ sounds kind of ominous. Not sure what God had to do with that.

He cheated on her.

So Ken committed adultery it seems? 😏

Ewwww

What a creep. 'It’s not him, it’s all the political harassment.' Tell that to the Clintons and Obamas, you FUCKER!

WTF? Lunatics All

38 years of married to human sludge with that crazy lazy eye. Recent discoveries? Gtfoh! He's sucked for ages!

How did he sucker more than one woman to sleep with him? Did she know what he looks like?

Exactly! One eye looked at her and the other eye looked at another woman. Yuck.

Someone hurry and find out who the BIBLICAL GROUNDS person is!!! He wants PRIVACY 😆

Love how he blames political attacks for his marriage disolving

The "Ew" factor is just too great with this couple.

Closet door opening…

This douche asking for "Privacy", NOPE!! All the trash shall be dug up

Oops, Cant wait to see who starts talking first. 🌵

😂

So who gets to keep their membership at Plano’s Prestonwood Baptist Church in the divorce - the adulterous husband or the wife who gave up on her marriage??

Well... she gets to keep the Dark Money that members give her for her campaign.

And all the church women will help him get back dating

Of course the white man

Good question! That WILL be the hardest part of the divorce, won’t it?

Comedy you can believe in... 😬

Till death do you part. 🤔

Wtf is biblical grounds?!

Sooooo, about those 10 Commandments...

Who’s he porking?

You mean, how is he porking?

Huh. One of those "thou shalt nots?"

I bet that final conversation between them was a barn burner. I can’t imagine who would want to be his latest conquest. Gross!

These people are just plain creepy.

Hmm lavender marriage or pedo Neither would surprise me

They really think we’re stupid when in fact they maintain power by racially gerrymandering districts with surgical precision and using religion in ways that should make crosses self destruct when coming in contact with their chests. #TEXAS

Ken Paxton deserves to be prosecuted. Hopefully it's before God gets to him.

Guess they read the part of the Bible where it says divorce is forbidden except for cases of infidelity. The escape clause or cause.

For MAGA, that usually means pedophile, gay, or hookers - or any combination thereof.

Ooh, “in light of recent discoveries” - go on, do tell. In this age, what is a biblical grounds for divorce? Back in the day, it was incest.

God definitely has other plans. For both of them. 🔥

Adultery? She found out Ken is a non-believer? Abuse?

Voted for a Democrat?

It's getting more like the Taliban every day.

The surprising part here is that Paxton was Trump’s man. Someone must have spilled a thing even worse than everything she acquitted him for? Or was she biding her time to hit him when it would hurt the most, just when he and Cornyn are about to go against each other?

Why now? She saw all the evidence against him when she voted to acquit. Who sent her some dirty secret info?

Not religious and have no idea what that means. I’m guessing he put it in the other hole?

Biblical delayed reaction much??

Leave God alone, he must be fed up !

So being a pathological liar is biblical?

Two phonies.

Somebody cheated.

Coveted.

I guess him being a corrupt scumbag wasn't enough for her.

And so many of the commenters on the post told her the Bible doesn’t allow it and to go back to her husband …

Biblical grounds? What, did god tell her to kick him to the curb?🤣

In other words; adultry

Everyone: Biblical grounds??? Me: Translation,

So weird that you can pray away the gay but not pray away a bad marriage.

Tweet of the day, Elaine.

Or maybe this announcement means she wasn’t able to pray away either one when it came to Ken Paxton. Been looking at that guy for a while now, thinking… why does Ken Paxton give me the same creepy vibe as speaker Mike Johnson. Their vibe says they’ve both done unspeakable things…

The IHIP "I've Had It Podcast" can fill you in on MJ.

Thanks for the info. 🙏🏽

She is just as bad as he is

Texas once had Ann Richards as its governor. And then it decided to return to the Stone Age.

Texas also once had Molly Ivins and Jim Hightower and Kinky Friedman.

Still has one of us!

Delighted to find you here, Sir.

Me, too! And lifelong NYCer... and a longtime Hightowerette!!! Let's outlive the bastards! L'chaim!

I used to live in Greenwich Village, am now in Canada, and very worried.

Meatpacking District here. And the worry is more than justified. But the wheel spins, the ball bounces... and we are NONE of us prepared to abandon the field.

And Barbara Jordan

Knew all three of and miss them!

and barbara jordan! gosh there were a lot!!!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Jim's still alive, and I wouldn't put Kinky in that "good Texans" list. He was a Republican until it was inconvenient, and his ego-driven 2006 gubernatorial run was part of why Rick Perry stayed in office.

I am glad to hear that Jim Hightower is still with us. I really miss Molly Ivins.

I liked it when he ran for governor because 'he needed the closet space.'

Considering he always wore the same outfit - and by midsummer, between the sweat and cigar stench you could smell him coming down Congress a block away - I'm not sure what he'd store in there.

Kinky also wanted to militarize the border, and when asked if he was pro-choice or pro-life, he said he was pro-football. He got a pass because he was funny.

Hate to burst your bubble, but it was already there. Ann was losing to Claytie Williams until his rape "joke" knocked him down a few points, and even then she barely squeaked in with a 2 point margin. The GOP/Libertarian combined vote took 51%.

Fuk Abbott!! Fuk Paxton!! Fuk Cruz!! Fuk Texas!!

Who do you file Biblical charges with?

Hmmm @thegodpodcast.com, is it true you are only forgiving and loving to those who love you? What about the rest?

Because he is an lying,cheating asshole of biblical proportions?

Funny how he asks for privacy but is all up in everyone else private lives.

“muh privacy” I exclaim as I tweet out insane private information about my biblical divorce in a shamelessly performative manner

“please respect my privacy, starting … NOW.”

Lol

which biblical? sounds like Ken might be getting a plague of locust. probably well deserved

I'm willing to give Ken the type of privacy he's willing to give a wife/mother who is pregnant with her 3rd child, but needs an abortion because the pregnancy isn't viable AND its a risk to her health. In other words: Fuck you, Paxton! I'm gonna enjoy ALL THE TEA 🖕🖕

🔥🔥🔥

@apopularmonster.bsky.social Hi Laney! Hope you're good. We mentioned Ken Paxton in yesterday's PRIDE Daily podcast if you fancy having a listen..? (It's possible we weren't complimentary...) You can find us here... pod.link/1712324163 P.S. Tell your friends!

Does she know what century it is?? 😳

Yes. She just doesn’t like what it is. Obviously 🙄

My grandma stayed married on biblical grounds. It’s almost as if “biblical grounds” can mean anything

I guess the question is, were they adult males or underage boys? Inquiring minds want to know.

Biblical “discoveries” After years of discoveries…

These guys are amazing, I love this for both!!! Much MAGA love you crazy kids!!

Jesus thinks Ken is an asshole too

Fuck both of them. On biblical grounds

Exactly. Demand others live the life they think is best and praise God while killing women and people who are denied healthcare!

Bloody morons, is this really the 21st century?

She’s not gonna stand by her man?

ken paxton's pee pee lost its way. ken paxton's wife saw the light. 😂 😇

Public attacks 😂

“Biblical grounds”? That must be a thing in Texass?

Cue the forthcoming drama. Tea about to be served!

WTF are ‘biblical grounds’?!?!? Also. REALLY?!?!? Schizo.

Wait! What? So...he cheated on her?

Hmm. Does "biblical grounds" mean that he didn't have an ark when one was needed?

What the actual f&$k does that mean?

lol

"I ask for your prayers and privacy." Because what's more private than asking millions of strangers to have conversations on your behalf with their invisible friend.

Say that to ICE when they come visiting.

Dang, it sure took her long enough.

He coveted his Donald more than his wife.

She put in the time of 38 years of marriage, a public scandal/alleged affair a couple of years ago and she STILL stayed with him. Most of us women can surmise that because of the above, this “biblical reason” must be something REALLY bad. I wonder if his campaign can survive this one?

Get out before they make it illegal for women to initiate divorce

You can divorce if your partner is spiritually dead also, according to the Bible. FYI

Any videos of the Guvner getting lap dances in his wheelchair? Are those next?

At least according to Leviticus 20:10 Texas, as a Death Penalty State knows what needs to be done here.

Say Goodnight Ken.

I wonder if he slept with a man

GOP So probably boyS

Very public demonstration of the self delusion a mass of “Christians” in this country wallow in.

🥱🥱🥱

So…he was caught in another affair then, in addition to the one he already told her about in 2018 according to testimony during his recent impeachment trial?

FIXED IT.

Better.

Interesting 🤔 “biblical grounds”, so not ok on what husband did, but her support of a convicted criminal, con man, rapist, pedophile potus n corrupted party is ok based on biblical grounds? Not sorry for her🤷🏻‍♀️ she’s as trash n amoral as any GOP 🤷🏻‍♀️!

Um...what exactly are "biblical grounds"? I've never heard this term used before so I'm curious.

He was unfaithful.

If had just married the woman he was unfaithful with them it would have been biblically appropriate. Of course then it would have been unlawful, but he has shown he doesn't care about that.

good question, the bible is pretty horrific. Maybe he didn’t smite dead a relative who worships another god?

He worshiped a false god before her.

Sexual Immorality (adultery) guilty Unbelieving Spouse-? Abuse (Physical or emotional) guilty For this to happen now, after he announced his run, He F-ed up for real. She's done hiding his indiscretions. He's finished. They never learn, when its good, stop. Oh! but no, he had to push it.

Thou shalt not covet I think.

yeah but two monogamous people of the same gender should not be allowed to marry, #fuckinghypocrites

It's gotta be either a dead girl or a live boy.

Don't rule out cattle or sheep. It is Texas after all.

Or a pregnant Black girl

The party of family values, huh?

Is that term "biblical grounds" actually used in court for divorces instead of adultery?

These self-professed Christians just can’t see through their hypocrisy and arrogance of knowing god/source/universe. Comical if not so pathetic.

Dragging jesus into their mess 🙄🙄

It’s ludicrous when MAGAs invoke prayers, God or the Bible. Their whole cult is built on subverting The Golden Rule. The U. S. seems incapable of keeping leaders who are good, moral, honest and socially responsible. Many voters don’t know the difference between between right and wrong.

This looks bad. Did he rape someone? It can’t be that, “republicans” are fine with rape. Must be really bad.

Ouch!

“after facing many grueling political attacks i have decided to spend less time with my family.”

She better hurry to get that divorce through, because if the GOP has its way, only the man will be able to decide to get a divorce, and in such a case, the woman would receive NO Alimony, No Settlement, No Benefit for any of the work she did for the family, for any of the years she was married!

Bless his lil cheatin’ heart!

Are biblical grounds now a box available in divorce form? Interesting

Adultery! "Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ However, I say to you that everyone divorcing his wife, except on account of fornication, makes her a subject for adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.” (Mt 5:31, 3

"Biblical" grounds? That's either adultery or non-belief. Since I don't think he found Buddhism, I'm going with adultery. And since most Republicans are cool with mistresses, I'm going to add that it could be a dude, or a farm animal, or both...

Laura Olson is about to become famous.

Ken Paxton's week-long impeachment trial is on YouTube. Paxton's mistress was called to testify in the TX senate. Paxton's wife was one of his judges. The trial was a tawdry spectacle and probably stopped Paxton from being U.S. AG in Trump II.

Does the Bible say Thou Shalt Not Bottom For Donald Janet Trump?

He interfered with Texas elections to get Republicans elected. Look into that please

Oh there is a story there just waiting to explode!!

"Yeah, I'm divorcing him on biblical grounds ... the number of women he was sleeping with was biblical!"

Or men…

It's either men or one of the women isn't white but is pregnant. From what I understand, Mrs. Paxton is homophobic and racist, you know, like all god-fearing MAGA women are.

I love her deliberate snark about why— her gentle biblical allusion to the goings-on.

Getting my popcorn now!!

One can hope!! 🤞

Lol after almost a week of this Texas stuff about god and kids in heaven and floods I think I’m going to become a confirmed atheist.

Biblical grounds my puckered brown hole. She is just as awful as he is, probably more. She has known what a totally corrupt bucket of shit he is since the moment she met him. She has been on the gravy train with him and sees that drying up. F both of these soulless hypocrites

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ahh, the Book of Biblicus, 1:1: "thou hast no obligation to continue to lay with the piece of shit after you get your bag, but that stank is forever" So it is written Just gotta love those talibangilists, and their superior moral authority. Didn't she help him dodge subpoenas?

I learned a new word today. Thank you! Talibangelist. 😂

Looks to me like someone should probably be stoned to death… On Biblical grounds of course.

Too little too late in my opinion. She should have dropped that jerk years ago 🤷‍♀️.

Ken would like us to respect his privacy? I'm sure he would.

Two scumbags in a pod. Unfortunately they both represent me, but I certainly did not vote for either of them. I wish them neverending misery and unhappiness.

Ken be bangin' . . . somebody.

Both of these people are mentally ill

Oof this is one bizarre announcement.

Lol I love how he says pressure from political attacks and she says on biblical grounds. You can tell he is going to blame someone or something other than himself. Likely blame Biden 🙄

Ken is accused of securities fraud while in legislature. He's also accused of abusing his office to benefit a donor, which led to impeachment proceedings. He’s alleged to have made false statements to the Texas Ethics Commission and the Securities Board. But of course he thinks he’s a victim.

It seems everybody’s having an affair - Trump‘s fucking everyone

This seems like it's much worse than cheating...

Can't believe she stayed with that putz this long.

Huh?
