Lots of fun in Washington these past few days as the championship teams visit and celebrate their wins. Here are the LSU Tigers, who seem perfectly happy to be at the White House with the Bidens, talking-head pundits notwithstanding.
In Texas, though, things haven't been quite as jolly. Republicans have raced to impeach Attorney General Ken Paxton, which they did today in a lopsided vote despite Benedict Donald and Rafael Cruz attempting to intervene on Paxton's behalf. Kind of interesting! Of course, the few Democrats in the Texas House also voted to impeach, because Paxton has been insane and corrupt since Day One. But otherwise, they stood aside and watched the Republicans tear themselves apart.
Two takeaways from this Lone Star State self-immolation: This is what happens when one party is in such firm control for such a long time and goes so whack-jobby — they start eating their own. (Ohio knows what this is like. Perhaps at some point, Florida will find out, too.)
Second, while Trump had no choice but to weigh in (Paxton is a loyal foot soldier), he would have been better off just staying out of it. Cruz, too. Instead, they both come off looking weaker. Colin Allred is surely taking notes, and as for Trump, the GOP must know he's circling the toilet bowl. Problem for them is that they can't finally flush him away yet — and may never be able to. We cats PURR.
