“Look On My Works, Ye Mighty, And Despair”

Trump issues an urgent demand yesterday not to impeach Ken Paxton, which was read on the Floor by a Member before the vote, and virtually the entire Texas Republican House just ignored him.

This got so little attention I assumed it was only visible on Trump’s website. I didn’t realize it was part of the record of the impeachment proceedings.

Paxton is not Abbot’s attorney general. It’s an elected office over which the governor has no authority.

Trump’s ignorance makes this tweet true:

But more and more that just doesn’t matter to the rest of us.

To recap the weekend so far:

Trump demanded TX House Republicans not impeach Paxton. They ignored him.

Trump demanded House Republicans not compromise on debt ceiling negotiations. They ignored him.

Biden got it done while Trump played golf for the 18th day in a row.
