Every time someone uses the word “sedition” to describe sedition, an angel gets its wings.

Paxton wants a pardon, and so sucks up to DJT with the least Texas-y lawsuit ever, and the rest of the GOP jumps on board because “Yeah! What he said!!”

If all you’ve got left is the proverbial “banging on the table”, you might as well do it with the heel of your Ariats.

Edit: On second thought, Paxton’s probably more of a handcrafted Lucchese kind of guy.

"the unconstitutional irregularities involved in the 2020 presidential election cast doubt upon its outcome and the integrity of the American system of elections,”

No. It was Donald Trump and Fox News that cast doubt on the outcome and integrity of our elections, exactly as they intended…

And I’m not sure what irregularities were “unconstitutional” here.

“Sedition“ is trending on twitter.

AG Shapiro thereby “forcing” the news media to repeat the “seditious judicial abuse” phrase. Hope it leaves a mark.

While Republicans fight, the broadcast media sticks to its fable that Republicans are on the rise, and Democrats are split.

The media narrative doesn’t match the facts.

The Democratic Party — “Democrat” to you conservatives — reflects the traditional values of America. All of them, yes. All of them. The Republican Party is modeling itself after ISIS, claiming a right to power because of something they call “religion.”

Which in fact they despise. There’s room for only one power in conservatism, and it ain’t God.

Every lawyer who signs on to this travesty should be disbarred. Every elected official that supports this should be recalled. Then Trump should be tried for treason and, after being found guilty, executed.
