The thing about the damning House Ethics report on Matt Gaetz, in which he is credibly accused of statutory rape and sex trafficking, is that Speaker Johnson tried to bury the report and prevent the public from ever learning about it.

Odd…or is it that it’s been oddly scripted? The side that doesn’t claim to be Christian just so happens to be the side that stands for benevolence, honesty, forthrightness, and elevation. The side that does? PR. Not enough evidence else wise.
Johnson , Trump , Elon et al. The GOP all knew. Btw did Matt have his gun while he was doing all those drugs? Maybe Comer can waste millions of our tax dollars looking in to that.
People like Johnson give Christianity a bad name. They mock it and use it to try and convince people that they are above others, holier than others etc. It's a JOKE, you can't do the opposite of what Christ taught and call yourself a Christian. We see your your lame game Mikey :)
It’s unbelievable how standards for politicians have been downgraded to none existing unfortunately for America it erodes the trust from other world leaders.
There was a lot more Republicans than just Mike Johnson! Several of them spoke out saying it should never be released! They are all complicit with statutory rape!! 😡
I am liberal and I agree with everything you said but I think it's also honorable to congratulate the Republicans that voted for the report to be released
You might remember that the House used to have a page program - high schoolers running around the hill doing members' business. There were a number of sexual scandals involving members and these kids until, finally, in 2011 the program was ended...for budgetary and practical reasons (??)
Worry not friend not all of us bible people are American (nor am I a pervert).
Much like your MAGA being hijacked by Facebook, a large faction of your American Christian families have been hijacked over decades by a couple of Texas billionaires using their pastors.
They are hypocritical scum. They have no moral bottom but scream that they are oh-so-religious. They coddle insurrectionists and traitors and cry patriotism.
Should there be a judgement day, the ones claiming to be religious are going to be quite surprised. And forever.
The Merrick Garbage department of "justice" has been reluctant to do its job at all, no matter how egregious the crime.
Merrick Garbage was working hard to be like Barr: protecting the guilty at all costs, provided that they're republican.
The damning thing is that we’ve all known about it for years and still people voted for Gaetz and Republicans protecting him. His buddy is serving 11 yrs for stuff they did together.
the Speaker is a man who clings to his sanctimonious rhetoric while shielding the indefensible. He stands for nothing but Trump.
Does the echo of his own hollow morality not trouble him?
The question lingers, as does the stench of their shared corruption.
Definitely -- and also the department of "justice" but then, that's normal for the doj, so we're just used to the doj protecting the guilty, as long as they are wealthy or have political power.
They just use ordinary people to pretend to justify their existence, but it's only theater of justice.
When the titans of a party feel the tremors beneath their Senate or House thrones, they may begin to heed the voices of the populace. But until the fear of losing their donors outweighs the fear of losing their seats.
For now it is but a stage where power bows not to the people, but to the coin.
No different then Trump and the instigating of the Jan 6 insurrection revolt that he personally requested from the podium. All a massive coverup for crimes committed while in and out of public office. The scams and cons continue. I think Americans are taking to many drugs or just drinking to much.
The Fox "News" and "Newsmax" viewers will only hear of "illegal lawfare" and "trump derangement." Speaker Mike Johnson covered up child sex trafficking.
And the final straw for me re: Garland. If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, and quacks like a duck....it might be an effort to avoid charging or trying something....
“Saying that he "paid a minor for sex" minimizes his crimes by implying that it was consensual and transactional. It allows people to create their own narrative, rather than be forced to confront the fact that Gaetz paid a convicted sex trafficker for the opportunity to rape a drugged child.”
Can you imagine how much evidence they have destroyed over the years? And how much they’re planning to destroy when they take the houses. What happened to all the evidence taken from Epstein’s properties?
What's crazy is that they are hiding hundreds of these reports of almost every senator and representative and we pay for their defense. Both sides of the aisle. Why just this one? And he wasn't even charged. The others were not only accused but charged
Think about all the things that have been hidden from us. Misdeeds for which they've wasted our hard-earned tax dollars. It's time we remind them they are public servants. The lack of integrity is unacceptable.
Sadly, many of the headlines say Gaetz paid women for sex. What the headlines should say is Gaetz raped an girl (17 year old = rape in Florida) and engaged with Prostitution...and illegal/felony.
Gaetz is a criminal who engaged in multiple felonies.
The other damning thing that is equally as bad, or very close to it, is that absolutely nothing will be done about it. Not a single consequence in sight.
The most damning aspect may be … if T nominated Gaetz as payback for the $$$ from his stalwart FL Republican father… think of what might be on the table for Elon.
How could the Rethuglicans screech about the Dems being sexual deviants if they were all on notice for their own deviancy? and the most they could dig up is that the Dems have married, faithful, monogamous gay men in office.
Isn't that what Christ teaches us? I mean, priests that get caught diddling get transferred and, unlike their urges, their indiscretions are suppressed. We all know what a devout Christian Johnson is.
All the time republicans and maga talked about hunting pedophiles or wildly accusing members of our LQBTQ+ community of being “groomers” and it turns out the call was apparently coming from inside the house
Evangelical, a person who is a grifting carpetbagger out to fleece the gullible out of they’re hard earned money. Mama needs a new plane donate as much as you can.
I'm Australian, but it seems you selected this Speaker from the same self seeking, deceitful, cheating, uncaring low life garbage/sewage pile you selected your next POTUS.
Unfortunately most Republicans come from the cheatin’, garbage bin, standin’ sewage side of town. The call themselves Federalists generally, but they’re really white, Christofascists racists, holding Bibles upside down. They’re raising a new generation of True Believers, who haven’t learned to read.
Because that is what Fundamentalist Christians do, right? Maybe God told him to bury the report? Doubt it. I would think God told Matt to keep his dick in his pants.
Religious conservatives are more obsessed with appearances of impropriety than the actual sins. If nobody knows that statutory rape exists we can pretend it never happens.
Rapists are rapists and not even sky fairies, imaginary deities, nor Jesus can change that. These plastic put-on Pseudo-Christian schizo-fascists with their purity rings and preferential eroticism have no morals, just projection, weakness, and cowardice.
He’s not the only one exploiting his position to get nasty all over the furniture n the hallowed halls. They’re protecting their own butts. He was using (sharing?)drugs in house & having sex (w video? Office orgies?) and everyone knew (participated?) and it’s scary seeing it start to roll out there
Leave it to the “Devout Christian” to sleaze up the ethics of any situation unfavorable to his cause. Of course, many people rationalize; but, Johnson’s blatant and ill-willed hypocrisy towards women and LGBTQ people (to name but two) is especially odious and damning to anybody who thinks.
Speaker Johnson doesn’t look like a saint himself.Maybe he’s hiding something too.He looks like a “Accidental Nerd”,😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂,himself.I wonder if Gaetz had been with his daughter,would he have tried to hide it?
Knowing him,he may have offered the location to get the drugs for the pervert🤔🙈👀🥸🫣🧐.

Usually this quote is about nazis, but, “If 10 people are sitting at a table with a known pedophile, there are 11 pedos at that table.” https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/7/8/2252541/-Republican-Sexual-Predators-Abusers-and-Enablers-Pt-53
I guess it's a signed Trump Bible.

Has Johnson forgotten this.

It’s terribly sad.
Churches at one time (still do in many places) worked as social safety nets for their communities.

The doj has a long history of giving repugnants passes for their crimes...
Not that I am surprised by that, but people should be more outraged than they are.
LOL he’s going straight to hell.
Geez ! Wake up America!!!
Gaetz is a criminal who engaged in multiple felonies.
And not a wit of care for the 17 year old girl.
No matter how many times they "pray", George ?
I seriously doubt He is listening on the other end of that corrupted rotten line...
Something that untold thousands of pastors, priests, and Christian leaders do EVERY SINGLE DAY!

In the UK, Boris Johnson buried 'The Russia Report' about Russian interference in UK politics .. after promising that he'd make it public unredacted.
That's why - along with installing his oligarch 'chum' into the House Of Lords - Russian Boris is nicknamed 'Russian Boris'.
pumas and mountain lions in Montana and Washington State have tested positive for the H5N1 Bird Flu. it has fully crossed species barriers.
we need to get the word out NOW
We should have realized this with his admission of being his son’s porn spy.. he’s a sick dude, too.
/s
At least not to good people.
It would be a funny thing to see his ugly face to disappear behind the bars for a long time.
He either nominated him knowing these things, or negligently nominated him before due diligence in the background check.
Either one says tons about Trump too.
This criminal is an elected member of Congress. This was well known yet Trump (in his disdain of the law) selected him as a candidate for AG
ITS STUNNINGLY SURREAL
Knowing him,he may have offered the location to get the drugs for the pervert🤔🙈👀🥸🫣🧐.
