"I believe marriage is a sacred covenant and I have earnestly pursued reconciliation," she wrote. "But 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. I move forward with complete confidence that God is always working everything together for the good of those who love Him and who are called according to His purpose."

Of course she's a braindead christian who has to frame everything through her faith.

Rather than call her brain dead, reframe it as she’s trying to be a Christian who actually follows the ten commandments, not simply demands them in school as a performative measure.

That’s as optimistic as I’m going to be.

Lol you don't just find out who ken Paxton is right now and be like "oh yeah maybe not"

She married him because he is him.

[–] Tramort@programming.dev 11 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I wonder if she found him in a homosexual relationship

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

You mean hatefulsexual.

[–] Zier@fedia.io 4 points 1 month ago

I'm guessing he kept raping their farm animals.

possible, or hes CSA/csam and the texas legislature is keeping a tight lip on info.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

He probably has a bunch of blackmail on the legislator.

No. People who talk like this hate gay and trans people. Fuck 'em.

My completely unfounded hunch is Cornyn’s people found some dirt, or they just promised her something to weaponize the marriage. She’s almost as awful as her husband is, and Cornyn too — especially during primary season — but keeping Ken Paxton out of the US senate is a legitimately good thing.

Here's this from the National Republican Senatorial Committee:

What Ken Paxton has put his family through is truly repulsive and disgusting. No one should have to endure what Angela Paxton has, and we pray for her as she chooses to stand up for herself and her family during this difficult time.

That is not the kind of statement these people put out when it's a regular adultery or whatever. Whatever the "biblical grounds" are, they seem a lot more serious than usual.

Gay sex. My money's on gay sex.

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And he’ll still be reelected.

"Never vote blue, no matter who" as they say.

The biblical grounds are keeping a historically red state red.

He's running in the primary against one of the most powerful "behind the scenes" senators in the party. This is the Senate Republican political action committee trying to trash him into getting out of the race.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

sleeping with woman in front of her,multiple at once. or hes a pedo.

[–] VieuxQueb@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

To piss off the Christians like this it must be gay sex.

[–] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 1 month ago

I wish nothing but the worst for both of them.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Hope she takes him for everything.

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

She's a ghoul, too. They were really perfect for each other.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago

too much of a ghoul for her, she wants a little ghoulish, also he looks like one too.

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 11 points 1 month ago

I'll be fine if this just kills his employment prospects for anything related to politics (IOW, not just the upcoming election).
