[quote]He said what he thinks is evidence. “I think it’s impossible to have renovations done without paying for them upfront. Ergo, Paxton committed a crime.” That’s his (almost) entire argument. [/quote] Ha - my entire argument? Why don’t you tell me what you think my argument is...

I removed that ( not sure why I was being a dick, but I was ) So I actually agree with you. I over generalized based on my experiences. I wasn’t BS’ing - all the ones I worked on of significance, materials were paid in advance. And yes - I do live in TX. But I concede I over generalized in th...

Cheers brother! :cheers: It’s difficult to debate someone when you bring relevant information to the table, and they don’t address any of it and just continually say, the prosecution has to prove its case. You never engaged in any debate of the details. All of my responses specifically addresse...

I play your little game. You are just as bad as the other two, you fly by, make a one line comment and then disappear. You haven’t brought anything to the table either. [quote]For anybody that has done home improvement, you know you have to pay for materials in advance.[/quote] [quote]H...

[quote]Of course it was. That was central to Paxton’s defense. But I guess you and I watched different trials. Look, I thank you for the reasoned debate, but if you believe the prosecution brought a strong case, strong enough to convict beyond a reasonable doubt, consider yourself on the side of...

[quote]The left has so damaged our "justice value system" that we now have a number of people who believe that gossip is enough to indict on, and the burden of proof has shifted not to prove guilt, but innocence. This is a very dangerous path, and there's no sign that we're even slowing down much le...

[quote]To reply to your TL;DR post earlier...see the reply by TheBigMuffaletta. Sums my position up. If Ken Paxton is doing illegal shite, fine. INVESTIGATE, INDICT, MAKE YOUR CASE. THE RIGHT WAY. Did you happen to miss how the House rammed the indictment through in hours instead of the usual weeks? ...

Maybe we aren’t on the same page here. I’ve done lots of single and multi family projects. Anything of significance (>$50k), I’ve always had to do that. I’m not saying your experiences can’t be different, but everyone went down like that. Don’t know if that changed the context for y’all or n...

[quote]The media lies about the weather more than they tell the truth.[/quote] I don’t fault the media here - this is on Fani. Seems like 1) she flipped him (which he denies), 2) she can just call him as a witness (having not turned) or 3) she is screwing with everybody. Guess we will have to w...

[quote]Dems are trying to become unstoppable. Owning Texas is but one attempt. But the tactics are identical. The Republican support is identical. [/quote] Dems have very little, if anything, to do with this debacle although Paxton likes to blame Biden, and the liberal republicans. You do realiz...

The legal opinion that Paxton offered at midnight on a Saturday that prevented foreclosure sales outside. I’ll try to be briefer. In the trial (and you can watch it for yourself), they had a draft copy that referenced some federal opinion or law(can’t remember). They sent it to Paxton on a F...

[quote]There are many factors - exposure, witnesses’ willingness to testify, cost of defense, etc. [/quote] Exposures and cost of defense is essentially what I said. We obviously don’t have a witness problem here. So how did I lie again? Edit: I went back and reviewed my post. In my hea...

I realize you weren’t replying to me, but I’ll have a go. [quote]I know you didn't watch the trial, one of the big problems with the prosecution's case was they charged Paxton with accepting a bribe in the form of a kitchen renovation. But Paxton's defense team had the 'receipts' - notably, phot...
