starting to feel like "being a low-quality political incumbent in a time of major technological change" is pretty much just as bad as "being a low-quality political incumbent when inflation is high"
this is a really bad time for a guy incapable of experiencing empathy to be in charge!

It’s unsurprising that someone who thinks women make up domestic violence for family court benefit, and who wants to restrict women’s abortion rights, now thinks that domestic violence is a ‘two way street’ and victim blames by asking ‘why didn’t she leave’.

Paxton dodges, stammers, then says “I’d like to keep today to law enforcement!”
Classic Paxton—refuses to answer, cuts the presser short.
