    The criminal case against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on securities fraud charges has ended after nine years — a span during which the Republican was reelected twice

    Why do Republicans continue to elect these obviously corrupt officials?

    He will stay in office and must pay nearly $300,000 in restitution

    And how is he allowed to continue as AG?
    USA is an openly corrupt nation!

      There’s an old football adage that goes something like “He may be a cunt but he’s our cunt” when referring to a properly nasty player on the pitch.

      So it’s ok as long as it’s the team they voted for. Once you allow the unacceptable to be acceptable it’s just shit all the way down.
