"Every bar has that guy. He's loud, he's obnoxious, he makes all the women in the bar feel uncomfortable."

Talarico: Every bar has that guy. He’s loud, he’s obnoxious, he makes all the women in the bar feel uncomfortable. He hears you say your name to the bartender and then adds his drink to your tab when you’re not looking.

That’s Paxton.

And I don’t know about y’all, but I’m done picking up his tab.

Loud and obnoxious. You can hear them from across the room. And what they say is complete bullshit. That's Ken Paxon. Is he drunk or just terminally impaired?

But most in my estimation are exactly what you typed. They are him. And if in his shoes, they'd do exactly the same vile crap.

An eye opener on both Ken and Angela Paxton..
both totally corrupt and without scruples.

“I’m done picking up his tab” is a really great line. Dems should use it.

Talirico is the best!

They will vote for a felon instead who’s like the magaloon president.

You know the orange magaloon will make an appearance in TEXass to support Paxton and the repukes will fall back in line.

We’re less than two-and-a-half years away from choosing the next president. I bet there’d be a place for Talarico in that new White House setup. I’m already expecting the Dems to win in 2028.

If I DO drink, ( which is almost never) I do it at home.
