Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Ken Paxton

 I've been meaning write about the acquittal of the blatantly corrupt Texas Attorney General by the GOP Texas Senate, but really it's just sadly predictable. After large bipartisan majorities of the Texas House impeached him, Steve Bannon and other Trumpist figures rallied to his side and threatened primaries to anyone voting to convict. Given the Deplorable state of the GOP electorate, that's a legitimate threat. 

Until we can get a better class of GOP voter, we will never have a better class of GOP representative.
