I wasn’t at all surprised that Paxton was acquitted of all 16 counts he’s guilty of. As the movie line says, “Forget it Jake, it’s Chinatown.” (Substitute Texas and there you have it.)

That's even better than "Don't F*ck With Mr. Zero."

I don’t know the players, but the story is hilarious and sad. Also, could slot in some Florida politicians in place of these folks.

Btw, the “Floriduh” usage isn’t appreciated from commentors. The entire population of Texas isn’t labeled stupid, and rightly so.

I have lived in Florida all my life and am appalled by what is happening legislatively in my home state. I’m hardly alone in my political views, although clearly not in the majority, since the worst Republicans have been voted into office in FL in recent years.

Besides, the 2016 presidential election wasn’t a good look for any of us in this country.

We don't talk about the 2016 presidential election.

Spot on...Louisiana used to have sleaziest politicians but Texas has surpassed them, along with Floriduh...IMHO, there isn't a Texas Taliban member that has any redeemable qualities, some are worse than others...
