#breaking Texas AG's wife has filed for divorce on “biblical grounds."

“In light of recent discoveries, I do not believe that it honors God or is loving to myself, my children, or Ken to remain in the marriage," she wrote.

1. Wtf does that mean?

[senseandsensibility]

3. Adultery

would be my guess, but why not just say it.

[SheltieLover]

11. Exactly! Since the angry old man on a cloud does not sit on

Judicial bench, her atty might want to use terms consistent with the legal system.

[LudwigPastorius]

22. Re: Adultery

Insert your own "wandering eye" joke here:

[SheltieLover]

26. ...

[Polly Hennessey]

38. Dear me, I would commit nothing with that face and/or body. 🤮

[SheltieLover]

41. Guy gives me the creeps!

As Walz so aptly stated: "weird and creepy!"

[MorbidButterflyTat]

52. Not even assault?

How about murder?

Just kidding, of course!

[regnaD kciN]

37. Pretty much...

In the Gospels, Jesus takes a hard line against divorce, but, in two passages in Matthew, allows an exception for “porneia,” which literally translates to “harlotry” (as in “playing the harlot”) and is generally rendered in modern translations as “sexual immorality.” So, yes, it would appear Ken got caught with his pants down, literally.

[no_hypocrisy]

53. Well, it wouldn't be on based on

taking the Lord’s name in vain. That wouldn’t even qualify under extreme cruelty.

[Henry203]

5. He had an affair.

[DFW]

7. With whom, and did she have two legs or four? n/t

[choie]

16. Don't insult our four legged friends!

And, what makes you think they were a woman?

[synni]

44. Nobody said that the four-legged friend was willing

[SheltieLover]

18. Or he?

[Tetrachloride]

28. football?

[Jerry2144]

29. It could have been 6, 8, 100, 1000 legs

He could be an arthropodosexual. I don’t judge what he does in the bedroom

[Dan]

32. Or was it someone in a wheelchair?

[SheltieLover]

15. Her atty should spit it out.

[sop]

25. There are only three "Biblical Grounds" for divorce mentioned in the bible: Adultery, Abuse and Abandonment.

[obamanut2012]

59. Adultery or incest

[hunter]

64. Protecting the family wealth.

He's going to play the "She took the house and money and now I'm penniless!" card.

People like this don't get divorced on "biblical grounds."

Even if she didn't know he was a rat when she married him, she's known it for a long time.

[Vinca]

2. Is she trying to say hubby plays on the other team?

[SheltieLover]

19. Could be, or maybe just can't keep dick in pants

[orangecrush]

33. Sure sounds that way

[CTyankee]

4. Uh-oh...

[DFW]

6. Not that Paxton needs MORE of a negative character reference than someone who was in a loveless marriage with him

Still, I'm sure that some backdoor leaks about how awful he was as a husband will be showing up on a regular, timely basis from now until the primary.

[Torchlight]

8. My guess: some serious degeneracy will be exposed soon

This being one battle in the (purposefully) quiet Texas war between the the Flat-Out Cat-Cray-Cray republicans like Paxton, and the older, Don't-Mess-With-My-Portfolio republicans.

Cornyn's been playing this primary close to his chest. Until now is my guess. Keep in mind, he went through impeachment proceedings about two or three years ago because of the lengths he went to cover up a prior affair. His wife is a TX seneator.

[MagickMuffin]

9. But but but, One Man One Wife

For Life, so sayth the bible.

Oh well should I wish them all the best and of course thoughts and prayers.


One last thing take him out Cornyn, you’ve got new ammo to use for your campaign.

[LeftInTX]

10. This is juicy!!!

[malaise]

49. Freaking delish

😀

[choie]

12. Fornication outside of marriage

Personally, I would have divorced him when I learned how corrupt, if not criminal, he is.

[Renew Deal]

13. He's a demon

[LudwigPastorius]

14. C'mon, Angie! You had to have known he was dirty when you married him.

Even Carmela Soprano ultimately stood by Anthony.

[sop]

17. Time to fire up the old "thoughts and prayers" machine.

[central scrutinizer]

21. Did he know an intern?

That’s “know” in the biblical sense

[muriel_volestrangler]

23. Does this mean he's been screwing yet another woman, or is this the 2023 affair come back?

Paxton had the affair with a woman who worked for local developer Nate Paul, whose relationship with one of Texas’ most powerful figures is central to the impeachment trial. Through five days of testimony, five of Paxton’s former aides have testified how Paxton allegedly pressured them in various ways to help Paul, who was under FBI investigation and once gave Paxton a $25,000 campaign contribution.

Was there bribery and corruption involved this time too, or was this just good old-fashioned lust?

[tanyev]

65. Good question. Angela knows all about that one, but the quote is "In light of recent discoveries".

[rurallib]

24. non-biblical diddling - very serious

only biblical diddling allowed!

[Thunderbeast]

27. My guess is that in his garden....

....he planted the beans and the tomatoes side by side....

...or he wore his cotton and wool sportcoat...

Did he eat a pork chop?

You just don't wanna screw with Leviticus in the Bible Belt. Mama gonna cut your testicles off!

[Captain Zero]

31. Maybe he wore a tan suit?

I'm sure there is something in the Bible about that.

[NBachers]

30. Don't worry Ken, the Puke Barbie Factory is turning out plenty of refurbished Barbiebots.

Rack ‘em!

[BoRaGard]

34. America needs to divorce the GOP on Biblical grounds

or whatever you got

[Traildogbob]

35. All we can do

Now is pray. “Only losers blame others”. We are moving forward, not looking in the past.
All that football shit Abbott babbled about flood deaths applies.
Time for Mike to get his Jesus Army on their knees in the well of the capital.

[Paladin]

36. This is potentially BIG.

If this divorce is for real and it actually happens, it might impact Paxton's potential efforts to replace John Cornyn (R) as U.S. Senator. Sure would be nice to see U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D) get a break like that---I hear she's polling really well. Texas Democrats are way overdue for some positive news.

[progressoid]

39. Normally, I'd agree.

But these aren't normal times. Texas overwhelmingly voted for a man who paid off a porn star to keep quiet about having sex with her (and his mushroom dick) shortly after his 5th child was born to his 3rd wife.

Sorry, I'm jaded.

[In It to Win It]

40. In the 3 election that man has been in, Texas shifted to Trump more in 2024 than in any of the previous elections

[Paladin]

46. I'm a Texas Democrat---you better believe I'm jaded.

I'll settle for this marital development kneecapping Paxton's consideration of a run for the Senate. Impotent old John Cornyn looks good, by comparison.

45. Compare and contrast Ken Paxton's and Senator Paxton's reasons for this divorce

[Chakaconcarne]

47. "Political Attacks" by the woman he had an affair with I presume...

Hope is ready for all that hush money he's about to pay out.

[malaise]

48. Oops

Did not check when. I posted

[Prairie Gates]

50. These people are all insane

[WestMichRad]

51. I like how the elephant is kissing his butt...

… in the photo posted on bluesky. Somehow that seems so appropriate.

[UTUSN]

54. So the previous discoveries weren't enough for her?!

[Rebl2]

55. That's

A new one. Why don’t you just say you are sick of living with this crook

57. Paxton had an affair. His wife is a State Senator.

Paxton was impeached by the Texas House for corruption involving a donor and real estate developer. As an aside, Paxton tried to get his mistress a job with the same developer.

The Senate failed to convict and his wife was prevented from voting on the impeachment; however, she was seated in the Chamber thereby increasing the required number of guilty votes.

The corruption was exposed by members of AG Paxton’s staff, who Paxton later fired. They sued for retaliatory firing and prevailed.

DOJ was investigating the corruption.

UPDATE: Trump’s DOJ declined to prosecute the case.

The $6.6 million award to Paxton’s Staff as result of their whistle blower lawsuit was paid by the State of Texas.

Prior to becoming AG, Paxton was under state indictment for selling securities to investors without disclosing he was profiting from their purchase of those securities.

[TheRickles]

61. So she was counted as Present, but couldn't vote. Weird.

Thanks for the background info.

[surfered]

62. Correct, this is Texas we're talking about

[progressoid]

66. Those look like qualifications to be in Trump's cabinet.

I wish I was joking.

[Liberal In Texas]

58. He can probably be divorced and remarried to the mistress before the primary.

The magats seem to love that sort of hypocracy.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

60. Cue the tearful public

plea for forgiveness, ala Jimmy Swaggart?

[PlanetBev]

63. Where do these guys find women to cheat with?

Why would you want to get naked with this weirdo?
