Very personally this sort of confirms my prior beliefs that dichotomous thinking continues to over inform people's behaviors far too much.
re: American Politics-- Ken Paxton
I think one of my nagging and unproven thoughts here is that if you honestly believe all government is corrupt or doesn't have value then you're going to be happy to excuse some very blatant abuses of power for your "side" though this is not based on any firm datapoints.
American Politics-- Ken Paxton

I'm not a Texan so I haven't commented on this story much but it is important to note how long this ongoing event has been. He was being investigated for some pretty blatant corruption before getting reelected for a third term.
I would claim I was surprised he was getting an impeachment considering the truncated and artificially short legislative period (and there is an entire derisive snort I'd have to that too) but that assumes he will feel consequences there.
To reiterate: the Attounrey General of Texas has been threatened with disbarment, he is under investigation by the federal Justice Department for potential bribe taking, he fired whistle blowers who then sued him and he demanded the Texas legislature apportion funds to pay the settlement and it isn't like voters weren't aware of this nonsense.
Me: I want a device that watches over me and the people I love while we sleep. It must be capable of such keen, decisive action that even absent actual flames it can rouse slumberers early enough to save their lives. It must last a decade and cost $30.
Smoke alarm manufacturer: we understand and accept the solemnity of this request, and we have built it.
Me: now I want something that will scream like a demon every time I boil water.
Smoke alarm manufacturer: you're not going to believe this
