Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and wife announce divorce on 'biblical grounds'

https://www.politico.com/news/2025/07/10/ken-paxton-divorce-00447521

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and his wife Angela announced their divorce on Thursday, with his wife citing “biblical grounds” as cause for their split.
The divorce could complicate the effort by Paxton — who has previously overcome criminal charges and impeachment — to challenge Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) in one of the most closely-watched primary battles ahead of next year’s midterms.

The grounds are irrelevant to me. Just do it!

she will use the threat of telling all to get a better settlement and swiftly sign an NDA. She lived with the sicko all this time, so I expect nothing less from her.

"Complicate his efforts"??? Republicans don't give a flying fuck about morals, ethics, or family values.

This will not negatively impact him at all. See Orange Hitler as reference.

I hope the future ex-wife writes a book, with each and every nasty detail---"Biblical" or otherwise---of what led to the divorce from her creepy-assed husband. That would be a fun read.

Grounds should be based on law, codified law & precedent imo, not subjective human made mumbo jumbo.
