Just heard a Paxton Supporter as saying "well all politicians have baggage, but he has done an excellent job as AG". So I do not think anyone can convince some people who support the continued corruption because they simply refuse to hear it. The only solution is overwhelming turnout.

All of the other competitors have less than 1000 satellites each. This never should have been allowed to happen as it gives Musk a virtual monopoly on satellite use at the taxpayer expense.

Is the FOP ever going to face that Trump is nuts and brining them and the country down. Trump and Musk have both sided with Putin. GOP ignores that that and they are to blame. Impeach Trump

Now that blaming Biden for high gas/diesel prices by Trump has failed due to it being a lie, Trump will next use the hurricane hitting Florida, Alabama that may affect some refineries as the next excuse. Of course his Iran war is the problem. www.cnbc.com/2026/10/09/h...

Sen. illis on 60Minutes shows how he walks the line with Trump. And it shows the reticence by him and most of the GOP to not go toe toe with Trump. He voted for all of his nominees in Cabinet but now blames them for the bad actions of Trump. I'll give him he condemns the 1/6 attackers,but not Trump.
