    He’s the second most corrupt politician in America but he’s been at it for a long time. I guess he finally made too many enemies in his own party, because they’re certainly not kicking him out for that.

    Not over yet as the Senate is a little more friendly and I believe his wife is a state Senator but he’s been shived the sharks should take him.

    He’s also looking at a long prison term when charges are filed. Maybe he can room with the Mango.

    He's been under indictment for (I think) 6 years. Time for some accountability.

    Good riddance. Hopefully, the senate removes him or sits on it so he remains suspended from office. He's a supremely corrupt, vindictive, and dishonest person.

    Trump is sad ... another one of his "rigged election" hoax supporters goes down ....

    “Hopefully Republicans in the Texas House will agree that this is a very unfair process that should not be allowed to happen or proceed — I will fight you if it does,” Trump posted on his social media app, Truth Social. “It is the Radical Left Democrats, RINOS, and Criminals that never stop. ELECTION INTERFERENCE!

    He has an odd view of the law - during the aftermath of the 2020 election he sued other states for verifying Biden's win. I'm completely unversed* in the law but even I wondered how he and Texas had standing there.

    *ignoring those underage drinking misunderstandings

    The list of enemies grows larger everyday. All D’s, half of R’s, and of course just “criminals.”

    I expect “laws” to be next.

    What's sad is the electorate knew this and still elected him in 2022 by almost a million votes over the Democrat

    Don’t worry, as the Lt. Gov and Gov are also total POS’s, I’m sure whomever is appointed will have all the same features, except perhaps the corruption indictments hanging over him(or her).

    It’s who they are. There might be a decent person left in the GOP but only because they haven’t got around to changing their party affiliation. And some we can safely state are just morons…

    Will there be a special election or does Abbott appoint someone who holds the office until the next election? Hoping that Justin Nelson gets another crack at it.

    I don't know if she's earned it or not, but seems kinda unfair to make her sit through it if she's not allowed to vote.

    Not sure on the reasoning. I didn't read that far as I don't care enough
