I’ve long wondered how any woman can bear to stay with the selfish scum of the right. There’s no accounting for taste, and some of those women are probably sleazy themselves, but sometimes we can see lines being crossed and spouses just plain giving up on their terrible men.
Case in point: Angela Paxton is divorcing her slimy partner, Texas attorney general Ken Paxton. I’m happy to applaud her imminent independence, but she stuck with him for forty years — what was she thinking?
Some gossip we’ll have to wait on is the rumors that Katie Miller and her rat-faced evil partner, Stephen Miller, are on the outs. She’s rumored to be shifting to Elon Musk, which is the one choice that debatably is not an improvement in her situation.
I know I’m being petty, but I enjoy seeing these people suffer.
GOP, the party of “Family Values” don’t you know.
Took her forty years, she must be a little slow. As for Miller, he could never suffer enough for me be happy.
These people deserve each other, as far as I am concerned. They toss one, they find another. And the settlements should be nice too I assume.
One word : Schadenfreude.

Yes. These people actually deserve it – and more.
You had me at “rat faced evil partner.” : ) : ) : )
A report from the Bulwark shows divorced men are the greatest supporters of Trump. Who knew?

I used to believe that undead creatures like Vampires, Zombies, Liches, and other nameless horrors from beyond time and space didn’t exist.
Since that time, I’ve seen a lot of people like Ken Paxton, Stephen Miller, Steve Bannon, Kristi Noem, Mike Johnson etc..
I can’t defend that position any more.
If the undead do exist, they are part of the current GOP party and now running the USA.
This theory does explain a lot.
I wouldn’t shed any Alligator Auschwitz tears for Angela Paxton. She’s just as corrupt and rotten to the core as Ken, but infinitely more unctuous, sanctimonious and holier-than-thou. Christian nationalist through and through, Angela is a viscous, virulent, strident anti-abortionist and she’s always bible this and bible that. She’s just better than y’all, doncha see. She has been totally complicit in Ken’s crimes and even introduced a bill that would give the Attorney General (yes, her husband) the power to issue exemptions to securities regulations. The bill passed. No, people, nothing to do with Paxton being indicted for securities fraud. No, sirree, nothing to see here!
Doc Bill @ # 8: … Alligator Auschwitz …
A bit over the top – so far.
I prefer “Gitmo in the ‘Glades”, at least until we face fatalities there.
I am thinking of Newt Gingrich the serial adulterer.
And Stephen Miller absolutely has a freezer full of human body parts as trophies.
Two words: Ted Cruz.
I am not one of those people who is particularly given to schadenfreude. I just don’t apparently have that inclination that finds much enjoyment in other people’s misfortunes, but…for these horrible, horrible excuses for human beings, I’ll make an exception.
You may find comfort in the fact that anyone who has dedicated a significant amount of energy to making other people miserable is invariably deeply miserable themselves. Nazis hate other people mostly to avoid dealing with how much they hate themselves.

Nope. Even if true, I don’t find comfort in that fact. They are still making people miserable, or killing them, or both.
“You may find comfort in the fact that anyone who has dedicated a significant amount of energy to making other people miserable is invariably deeply miserable themselves.”
Wishful thinking.
Ian King @13:
That is complete bullshit. It is the kind of thing people repeat in the absence of any evidence because it makes them feel better. In point of fact, racists and bullies are more likely to have self-esteem that is excessively high rather than excessively low. Research by psychologist Nicholas Emler found that people with incredibly positive views of themselves tend to view anyone different from them as some kind of insult. So please stop with the “hateful, bigoted assholes really just hate themselves” bullshit and face the truth: Most hateful, bigoted assholes like themselves just fine. They are NOT typically “deeply miserable,” so it is up to us to make them that way.
Does a senate aid count as a concubine? Cause then it would count as a biblical marriage. /s
