    They should ask the opinion of that woman who thinks that covid vaccinations cause people to be magnetized. 

    Maybe if all the magnetized people stood together in one big group hug we could pull the moon into a different orbit.

    AP Exclusive: State bar investigating Texas attorney general
    By JAKE BLEIBERG
    1 hour ago

    DALLAS (AP) — The Texas bar association is investigating whether state Attorney General Ken Paxton's failed efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election based on bogus claims of fraud amounted to professional misconduct.

    The State Bar of Texas initially declined to take up a Democratic Party activist's complaint that Paxton's petitioning of the U.S. Supreme Court to block Joe Biden’s victory was frivolous and unethical. But a tribunal that oversees grievances against lawyers overturned that decision late last month and ordered the bar to look into the accusations against the Republican official.

    The investigation is yet another liability for the embattled attorney general, who is facing a years-old criminal case, a separate, newer FBI investigation, and a Republican primary opponent who is seeking to make electoral hay of the various controversies. It also makes Paxton one of the highest profile lawyers to face professional blowback over their roles in Donald Trump's effort to delegitimize his defeat.

    A spokesman for the attorney general's office did not respond to requests for comment. Paxton's defense lawyer, Philip Hilder, declined to comment.

    Kevin Moran, the 71-year-old president of the Galveston Island Democrats, shared his complaint with The Associated Press along with letters from the State Bar of Texas and the Board of Disciplinary Appeals that confirm the investigation. He said Paxton's efforts to dismiss other states' election results was a wasteful embarrassment for which the attorney general should lose his law license.

    “He wanted to disenfranchise the voters in four other states,” said Moran. “It's just crazy.”

    Texas' top appeals lawyer, who would usually argue the state's cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, notably did not join Paxton in bringing the election suit. The high court threw it out.

    Paxton has less than a month to reply to Moran's claim that the lawsuit to overturn the results in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin was misleading and brought in bad faith, according to a June 3 letter from the bar. All four of the battleground states voted for Biden in November.

    From there, bar staff will take up the case in a proceeding that resembles the grand jury stage of a criminal investigation. Bar investigators are empowered to question witnesses, hold hearings and issue subpoenas to determine whether a lawyer likely committed misconduct. That finding then launches a disciplinary process that could ultimately result in disbarment, suspension or a lesser punishments. A lawyer also could be found to have done nothing wrong.

    The bar dismisses thousands of grievances each year and the Board of Disciplinary Appeals, 12 independent lawyers appointed by the Texas Supreme Court, overwhelmingly uphold those decisions. Reversals like that of Moran's complaint happened less than 7% of the time last year, according to the bar's annual report.

    Claire Reynolds, a spokeswoman and lawyer for the bar, said state law prohibits the agency from commenting on complaints unless they result is public sanctions or a court action.

    The bar's investigation is confidential and likely to take months. But it draws renewed attention to Paxton's divisive defense of Trump as he and Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush vie for the former president’s endorsement in the Republican primary to run for attorney general in 2022.

    On the Democratic side, Joe Jaworski, the former mayor of Galveston, has said he'll run. Moran said Jaworski is a friend but that he played no role in the complaint against Paxton.

    Paxton's election challenge was filled with claims that failed to withstand basic scrutiny. A succession of other judges and state elections officials have refuted claims of widespread voter fraud, and Trump's own Justice Department found no evidence of fraud that could have changed the election's outcome.

    Nonetheless, Paxton's lawsuit won him political and financial support from Trump loyalists at a time when fresh allegations of criminal wrongdoing led many in the state GOP to keep their distance from the attorney general.

    Last fall, eight of Paxton's top deputies mounted an extraordinary revolt in which they accused him of abusing his office in the service of a wealthy donor. The FBI is investigating their claims.

    Paxton has denied wrongdoing and separately pleaded not guilty in a state securities fraud case that's languished since 2015. He has also used his office in ways that have benefited allies and other donors.

    The new criminal allegations prompted an exodus of the top lawyers from Paxton's office. But Solicitor General Kyle Hawkins was still serving as Texas' top appellate lawyer at the time of the election lawsuit.

    Although the solicitor general usually handles cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, it was a private Washington, D.C.-based lawyer who brought the election challenge with Paxton. Hawkins has since moved to private practice. A spokesman for his firm said “we can’t help you" with questions about why he didn't handle the suit.

    Tough break for another law abiding GOP state house member.  Vote was 59-1 to expel, so a nail biter.

    Posted June 10, 2021 at 6:00am

    The details are scary, but not surprising to some of us.

    Capitol Police intelligence officers had warnings as early as Dec. 21 of what was going to happen on Jan. 6 at the Capitol: Pro-Trump protesters were planning to “bring guns” and other weapons to confront the police — the “blue” that conservatives swear they “back.” Lawmakers were in danger of being trapped and harmed while doing the job they were elected to do, certifying the election of President Joseph R. Biden Jr. (though quite a few Republicans shamefully failed even that routine task post-insurrection). Conspirators giddily shared maps and discussed entry points.

    And nothing.

    A few Capitol Police command officers did get some information, which they failed to share widely. According to the department’s statement: “Neither the USCP, nor the FBI, U.S. Secret Service, Metropolitan Police or our other law enforcement partners knew thousands of rioters were planning to attack the U.S. Capitol. The known intelligence simply didn’t support that conclusion.”

    Known intelligence? Anyone paying attention to the social media bragging of self-styled “militia” members, Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, red-state secession groupies, white supremacists and their ilk could have figured it out. Those swept up in QAnon delusions and Donald Trump’s “big lie” of a stolen election excitedly posted travel plans and loving photos of weaponry, all shiny and ready for action. The dry run of a Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Va., where a woman was killed, happened in 2017 — and that was over a statue. And just last year, armed Michigan militia members swarmed a state capital and plotted to kidnap a governor.

    In preparation for the insurrection, Trump himself issued a pretty vivid invitation, one of several: “Big protest in D.C. on January 6th,” he tweeted on Dec. 19. “Be there, will be wild!”

    No wonder rank-and-file officers felt betrayed.

    An appalling failure

    Any patriotic American, one who believes in democracy and sane leadership and the U.S. Constitution, should read the joint report from the Senate Rules and Administration and the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committees and be appalled at the intelligence and communications failures that led to loss of life, more than a hundred serious injuries and lasting trauma, and at the Confederate flags and racial slurs hurled at law enforcement putting their own lives on the line.

    For an American who happens to be a minority, too much looks familiar — the lack of serious accountability for too many perpetrators, the encouragement by irresponsible leaders who see political advantage in stoking resentment, the effort to say, “Nothing to see here,” which means a repeat as sure as night follows day.

    Sadly predictable was the planning revealed in a Jan. 5 internal document obtained by CQ Roll Call. Despite all the evidence that members of a mob would be, at Trump’s urging, marching on the Capitol to prevent electoral votes from being counted, despite a Jan. 3 warning that “Congress itself is the target,” the Civil Disturbance Unit of the Capitol Police viewed counterprotesters as the major threat.

    It recalls the civil rights protests of the 1960s, when peaceful protesters were considered the “agitators” and were treated accordingly and brutally, while the jeering and violent white crowds got a pass from law enforcement. Heck, my brother was arrested — twice — for sitting in at whites-only diners. Back then, J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI was the protesters’ enemy. Today’s FBI director, Christopher Wray, testified this year that his agency had not seen “any evidence of anarchist violent extremists or people subscribing to antifa in connection with the 6th” and has warned that white supremacist violence is the top domestic terror threat.

    But old habits die hard. Envisioning and preparing for the dangers of a predominantly white crowd carrying weapons while seeking to “cancel” Black and brown voters from Detroit, Atlanta, Milwaukee and Philadelphia by any means necessary is still a reach for a lot of people in power, especially those who agree with the rioters’ cause.

    We know what the mob can do.

    And still, not much. Sens. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., and Roy Blunt, R-Mo., the leaders of the Rules Committee, are expected to propose legislation to give Capitol Police the power to summon the National Guard and to increase the department’s funding.

    But Republicans in Congress have blocked a bipartisan commission to answer the questions that remain, paralyzed by the fact that Trump, and more than a few of their own members, might be implicated on paper. The word “insurrection” is nowhere to be seen in the report, which showed little interest in the role of white supremacist groups, many of whose members see Jan. 6 not as a loss but as an opening salvo.

    Doing the mob’s work

    Using the “big lie” to do in state legislatures what the pro-Trump mob could not, Republicans are using their clout to make it harder for certain Americans to vote — minorities, the poor, students, the disabled, those who work long shifts and can’t wait for hours in line, those who depend on same-day registration and drop boxes. And when those American voters do manage to overcome every obstacle, a partisan observer can harass them, and an appointed official can declare their ballots null and void.

    For those arrested for taking part in an insurrection, let’s just say the loudest proponents of taking personal responsibility are spewing excuses that make “the dog ate my homework” look credible. They were either in the wrong place at the wrong time or brainwashed by internet conspiracies. Or they were just following the orders of “Dear Leader.”

    Jacob Chansley, the so-called QAnon Shaman, prominently pictured roaming the Capitol on Jan. 6, had his mommy defending him and repeating election fraud lies. Does she also cut up the organic food he insisted on being served in jail into little pieces before feeding him by hand?

    They feel protected, and why not? They have American history and a political party on their side, ready to put a treasonous insurrection in the rearview mirror. So many don’t think what happened on Jan. 6 will touch them. Worse, many sympathize with those who see a more inclusive America as a threat.

    With Trump on his vengeance tour spreading that message, aided and abetted by GOP politicians willing to look the other way, expect the worst.

    Minorities and their civil rights may be the first in jeopardy. But don’t be fooled. Those bent on violently undermining democracy won’t stop there. They never do.

    So which Congressman goes sideways and shoots the place up?  We should start a pool.  You know it's going to happen.

    Oh and since I thought of the game I pick first.  MTG is first in my draft.

    MTG would be most people's top pick if they thought it was going to happen, but IMO it won't be a member of congress to shoot the place up... it will be one of the sub-intelligent rubes radicalized by Fox news into thinking they need to take matters into their own hands, no different than the morons who went to the Capitol on 1/6.


    Lara Trump was on Fox news recently, literally saying as much to Americans on the southern border, which is very nice considering what happened at the El Paso Walmart in 2019.

    Lauren Bobart is a reasonable pick.  But I’d we’re just talking legislators, I’m playing the odds that it’s a male.  Maybe Gomert.

    I actually think the best bet is a Republican(s) getting one or more  of these nuts  in there with a plan to take out as many Dems as possible.  But these nuts are actually trained marksmen and the intent will be to shift the majority and immediately get to passing bills.  Yes, there are some crazy people out there but let’s not forget what the party is really trying to do.

    It's becoming a terribly bad joke now.  I apologize.

    Because it's not totally unrealistic.

    It's not very nice to joke about it though.  I'd hate for that to happen.

    I’m thankful I don’t live in an ERCOT run area of TX. They sound shitty.
