To sum it up: Greg Abbott filed a bad court thingy with the TX Supreme Court. Ken Paxton, Abbott’s AG, told the court that Abbott got the law wrong—but said not to dismiss the case bc he plans to file his own bad court thingy. Abbott replied: Paxton’s wrong, let me do the bad court thingy plz??
Corrupt Criminal Clown Car. 💵🤡🚙
South Park should do these two next.
Republicans don’t really care about the law anymore if it protects Democrats they want to kill. Democrats, though it’s taken them 6 months to figure this out, are now like, Oh. We’d better fight back. Republicans just hate them more for this. lol @chrislhayes.bsky.social @chriscillizza.bsky.social
It's like they're ketchup-wrestling to please Donald Trump.
That was a mental image I did not need. But apt.
Which makes it even more depressing that the odds are roughly 100% that the Texas Supreme Court grants whatever ridiculous shit they ask for.
They literally declared breaking quorum is legal just 4 years ago. Jasmine Crockett, who was part of that last attempt (ended due to lack of Dem funds I think?) and is also a lawyer, was like, "nah" when asked if Abbott can actually expel them
That's how these Texas GOP Morons work.. they don't.🙄
Epstein files, how to steal elections… Now that they control all three branches of government seems like the anti-American Party is getting a little tetchy with each other.
As a normal person I really appreciate your translation
These guys were “educated” in Texas schools. So this comes as no surprise.
Maybe these schools should start rescinding their degrees. I can't imagine it's good marketing. "This very public official is a dumbass, and we gave them their degree!!!"
Sounds like Texas.
Stupid is as Stupid does.
He's not only fighting with his own AG publicly, he's fighting with the guy whose opinion is the cornerstone of his argument (wrong as it is) publicly!
I love it, neither Abbott or Paxton can get the fourth thingy right. I am glad they are fighting it out and showing the entire country what a joke the Trumplican Party has become. Maybe some actual Republicans would like to step forward and do things right. Not sure actual Republicans exist any more
They're both such skanky disingenuous cretins.
Lesson: Two equally stupid things can both be wrong.
We’re very lucky they’re so fucking stupid
Bwahahahahahaha!!!!!!
Bunch of idiots!!
Their base doesn't care though, or maybe even understand enough to care
What do any of us know at this point?
proper protocols of lawlessness must be observed.
What a clown show.
Where is arrest of Texas constitution on state senate or congress? I not see it
Getting fouled by your own team.
Fighting for imagined recognition from dear leader.
Let them cook
Watching two grown men fight to be more stupid…..
🤡
These two famously can't get along, and I love that it's getting in the way of being effective in their pursuit to please their daddy.
Its texas, the supreme court will probably side with them and bring them a shitty brisket platter to celebrate
it’s like watching idiocracy, but somehow dumber
Evidently these chodes are counting on their state Supreme Court to overturn their own (4 yr old) ruling to serve the Orange turd. Wasting time and paper to perform for Trump
This is all about Paxton vs Cornyn in 2026.
Let those two traitors fight.
Petty petty petty, boys.
A core component of fascism is that all the fascists hate each other and spend almost as much time hating each other as they do their Othered enemies.
“Governor Abbot continues to respectively request…”
If anyone knows about breaking laws it would be Paxton since he's broken so many of them.
Doing the lawz is hard.
There is the law and then there is the maga republicans law . Make no sense and goes against the constitution
I laughed at politics today! Thanks!
Really depends who is on the Supreme Court unfortunately.
The bad guys don't even like each other.
Clown show with scumbags
Two bald men fighting over a comb
All hat, and no cattle
No hat no cattle
🤣😂🤣😂🤠
Two of the most weak, flawed, and fearful men to ever hold office. I truly hope they eventually receive the consequences they so deserve.
Let them shred each other to bloody ribbons.
May they both lose.
“Abbott respectively requests…”? 🤔
So very un-Republican of him.
It's allowed in the Texas state consitution to break quorum an affirmed by the Texas Supreme Court in 2021. Let these 2 dolts fight over a loser legal filing. 🤡
They're competing for the Best Facist of 2025 Award
If it’s the Golden Age & everything is great & the economy is booming & Trump has ended all wars & slayed inflation & everyone is happy & drug prices are down & his approval is at 71% & everyone hates Dems, why would they need to do mid-decade gerrymandering to hold the House?
Just how many MAGA Idiots does Texas have...seems more than Florida 😂😂😂 !!!
It IS much more highly populated, so, yeh pretty much
Fighting for Daddy Trump's affections.
For once, at least, the MAGAts are pissing in each other’s boots instead of ours
Fucking CLOWNS leading an entire state. Those idiot voters are a bunch of fucking losers voting every fucking time for the party of pedophiles
Never interrupt an adversary who is making a mistake. Let them cook each other.
I saw lots of whackadoodle court filings over my 4 decades of practice, but this is a new one. Definitely in the top 10 bizarre filings!
Dumbassery. They are scrambling and it shows. Weak.
At this rate, is one of them going to challenge the other to a duel? I can't tell what century we are in.
There are enough judges that they can shop in this shitbag state that will approve both of these bad thingy motions. The Texas Supremely Fucked up Court will rubber stamp both of them. I live here. I know how corrupt this whole fucking exercise is.
Someone should sue him for not standing for the national anthem
Lionel Hutz could never.
Abbott and Paxton fighting for Daddy Trump's approval.
Doesn't matter. It's all performative for average Maggat maggot.
I'm a Texan , A blue dot in the state and their ineptitude is very painful to watch. I remember Ann Richards, intelligent and talented, the last governor that I was proud of.
I lived in Texas when she was governor, and I concur. These days, I avoid Texas at all costs.
I didn't have an "Everything that guy just said is bullshit" episode between Abbott and Paxton on my 2025 bingo card.
Paxton is considering a primary run against Sen. Cornyn. Abbott is firmly on Cornyn's side. Cornyn himself has asked Kash Patel to look into arresting the Democratic legislatures. They are all fighting with each other to show the Republican primary voters, who is the toughest. Purely performative.
You definitely have a talent for summing up ridiculousness! Not a skill that you probably thought you were cultivating at the two Cambridges!
It's honestly my one hope... that these feckless dummies are so dumb and feckless that they fail at executing their own shitty agenda.
How does the Gov. (executive branch) even have standing to pursue complaints about the behavior of legislators? This is an insane extra-legal assertion of dictatorial power from both DC and Abbott.
