Shocker: Paxton Keeps Running Away From Voter Fraud Questions

Q: Mr Paxton, did you commit voter fraud?

KEN PAXTON: *walks away*

(This is at least the third time just this week he's literally run away from questions of this sort)

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-07-24T15:21:54.967Z

I can’t get enough of the delicious irony of Texas’ Republican attorney general and “voter integrity” maven Ken Paxton getting caught voting SIX TIMES in the past two years at an address and in a county where he hasn’t been living. It’s even more delicious that the scandal arose as he’s running in a tight race for the U.S. Senate against James Talarico.

Friday Night Funnies: George Carlin 'Dumb Americans'

He is the best.

This is from his HBO special 'Life Is Worth Losing' (2005)

As a kid, I bought FM/AM record and wore it out.

Paste Magazine:

Even a lot of Carlin’s most ardent fans find this one to be too dark and morbid to work as a comedy special. But as a performance piece, a one-man show about all of human folly, it’s as close as we’ll get to any piece of modern philosophy. From the ecstatic Modern Man rant, to a passionately absurdist depiction of the end of times, this is as unfiltered and razor-sharp as it gets.

What would Carlin say watching Demented Donald's train wreck of a second term.

You know Trump would have sued him for being a meanie.

Open thread.
