2+ week, 3+ day ago (296+ words) A new parody website from Senator John Cornyn's campaign is turning Texas politics into a dating game. The site, FindPaxtonsMatch.com, mimics a Tinder-style dating app called "Sinr." When users visit the page, they're prompted to enter their name, email, and phone number before the familiar swipe interface appears. Much like Tinder, users can swipe left to pass or swipe right to "match." The twist? Instead of dating prospects, the game centers on helping Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, appearing as "Dave P.," find his "next mistress." Players can "match" with two women, while the rest of the images resemble AI-generated portraits. Some users are shown a message reading, "You've been blocked," followed by a reference to Paxton's wife, State Sen. Angela Paxton. In a press release, the Cornyn campaign described the website as "an interactive way to help embattled Attorney…...
