Criminals hire criminals to corrupt institutions.
Has no one in America worked that out yet?
My god….it’s as plain as the nose on Trumps fat face!

whodatjenny.bsky.social•159 days ago

Where’s Nestor?

cjseahorsemom.bsky.social•159 days ago

How did they not indict Gaetz? He looks like he’s running a trafficking ring.

yurdapuppet.bsky.social•159 days ago

House GOP: "hey, no problem."

mimi1016.bsky.social•159 days ago

Why exactly did Garland decide not to prosecute this case?

cupcake1312.bsky.social•159 days ago

Doesn’t somebody have some balls?

beege4.bsky.social•159 days ago

I wouldn't say he's trying to lead. I'd be pretty much in the destroy camp.

oregonkate13.bsky.social•159 days ago

How long until Trump is identified in Gaetz’s web of escapades?

richones.bsky.social•159 days ago

I realize this is a shitty take but in this nightmare where an adjudicated rapist convicted felon coup plotter can be president, and RFK Jr can be in charge of health, remind me again why can’t Matt lead the justice department?

suziechapstick1.bsky.social•159 days ago

Why wasn’t he charged ? Doj ok with men having sex with minors ? Maybe that is the perfect place for him.

fightthepatriarchy.bsky.social•159 days ago

His loyalty to another sexual predator has been rewarded 🤬🤬🤬

kefkaul.bsky.social•159 days ago

He belongs in prison

jojo196847.bsky.social•159 days ago

Gaetz is an abuser and he’ll get away with it because the Republicans in the Senate are cowards to go against the soon to be the Executive Mob boss. Grow a pair and do the right thing and dump Matt Gaetz who is morally bankrupt.

suddenly-sully.bsky.social•158 days ago

PED-O-PHILE! Lock him up, the sleepy bastard.

winstonsmithsghost.bsky.social•159 days ago

This statutory rapist is simply a red herring. Set the bar so low and all other nominees look better by comparison.

It’s a brilliant PsyOps move.

Too brilliant for Trump.

It’s almost as if someone trained in PsyOps is sharing a game plan.

Hmm. Who can it be?

Putin.

I’m talking about Putin.

colemarie.bsky.social•159 days ago

I think Putin just wants the US to be a satellite supplier of trafficked human beings. And putting all these rapists and traffickers in charge makes it easier.
Why else would these criminals be nominated? Trump refuses to sign the ethics agreement.

jcm444.bsky.social•159 days ago

If he is confirmed, all women should just stop working. Strike. Until he is removed. This is a public outrage. We do not have to stand for this mockery of justice. MOCKERY.

cwoods9328.bsky.social•159 days ago

🤬

stash7.bsky.social•159 days ago

The Justice Department seems to be an absolute joke when it comes to justice for Republicans in Congress who break the law. But it had no problem charging Democrats. Am I wrong about feeling that way?

isthislifeonmars.bsky.social•159 days ago

Seriously.

debof.bsky.social•159 days ago

Nothing to see here if you’re a Republican senator. As the NYT said today, it’s defining defiance down.

imyourcysecur.bsky.social•159 days ago

They sure like'em young. You know like still a child 😡

macri112.bsky.social•159 days ago

Mini-Epstein, this is crazy stuff.

meowwwskibbbles.bsky.social•159 days ago

doesn’t he Want to clear his good name ?

mariejo1965.bsky.social•159 days ago

Actually this one has become the easy target and will be dismissed meanwhile we don’t talk anymore about the others who are quite happy that we “forget” them so now let’s investigate more thoroughly the others in Defense, Natl security, Health etc etc and see what we could dig out from their past

spinninonearth.bsky.social•159 days ago

Can someone look into the pipeline? Please? How do these girls get there?

mepersuit.bsky.social•159 days ago

Paging Merrick Garland...????

jeffb8.bsky.social•159 days ago

Greenberg went to jail, for the crimes he committed with Gaetz

So should Gaetz

bluenightnova.bsky.social•159 days ago

Ok, Gaetz is icky. But his boss has done equivalent or worse things. Why are even smart folk like Molly Jong-Fast allowing themselves to be led by the nose away from the man who robbed students, started a riot, nuked the trust of millions in democracy,kicked the legs from under the Afghan gov., etc?

premoe-williams.bsky.social•159 days ago

Please explain to me like I'm a kindergartener #42: how the party of QANON ,that was so obsessed with getting rid of pedophiles in the government, has elected as President someone accused of sexually assaulting a minor; who in turn has selected a sex trafficker of minors to lead the DOJ ...

worx.bsky.social•159 days ago

he will lead..there are no spines

kbanx.bsky.social•159 days ago

"trying"? Looks like his corrupt party has already put him in position.

picci0909.bsky.social•159 days ago

Maybe female abuse is a prerequisite for Donald; won't make him feel so alone. He will have many to shoot the breeze with over burgers and a coke.

yarnlover.bsky.social•158 days ago

More importantly, Trump thinks he's the IDEAL person to lead the justice department. Rapist helping rapists is the new GOP jobs program.

finndolyn.bsky.social•159 days ago

$450. She should demand more.

badfairy.bsky.social•159 days ago

She was 17. She should demand prison.

neen99.bsky.social•159 days ago

Good Lord! I think he's got a problem!

canusger.bsky.social•158 days ago

Not anymore

concerned1242.bsky.social•159 days ago

Not unexpected choice by the felon

pcollirigger.bsky.social•159 days ago

The current head of the Justice Department decided that it wasn't worth prosecuting. That doesn't help.

csilberman.bsky.social•159 days ago

Merrick Garland strikes again.

hm64.bsky.social•159 days ago

When we see who the next president will be, what standards even matter?

sjnortoncalles.bsky.social•159 days ago

horrible!

a-r-95.bsky.social•159 days ago

Seriously. What a mess. Looks like we're still not doing the law and order thing....

prplhazel.bsky.social•159 days ago

Is there ANY appointee not a rapist, assaulter, or pedophile??
One? Just one??

mkddebbie.bsky.social•158 days ago

📌

opie1980.bsky.social•159 days ago

Yes, terrible. Democrats will still need a middle class, working class agenda if they EVER want to win again.

cheeseheadlucy.bsky.social•159 days ago

"Trying" is the operative word.

It's our job to get the truth out

tinaeatyourfood.bsky.social•159 days ago

For anyone within a sound of my voice "Leak it all". Every disgusting word of it. #doublestandard

geoffmboyd.bsky.social•159 days ago

It’s a sickness

a-californian.bsky.social•159 days ago

Matt Gaetz appears to be a pimp.

tidalwavex11.bsky.social•159 days ago

Correction: He appears to frequently use the services of a pimp

auntiemamie2u.bsky.social•159 days ago

No. The guy who took the Fall for him is. But Venmo and all other $$$ apps have trails of transactions.

shutzy55.bsky.social•159 days ago

Pretty much …

marchisimo.bsky.social•159 days ago

I still cannot believe how so many people are forgetting that Matt Gaetz’s best friend is now serving 11 years in prison for child sex trafficking.

veldadetroit.bsky.social•159 days ago

I can't believe this is happening in our country, Molly.
Wtf

jukesgrrl.bsky.social•158 days ago

Am I correct to assume that Gaetz couldn't be leading his ... "lifestyle" or whatever it's called, unless Daddy was footing the bill? Congressional representatives only make $174,000/yr. We know damn well he isn't practicing law on the side.

auntiemamie2u.bsky.social•159 days ago

Well she was cheap.

remymonroe.bsky.social•159 days ago

Trumps involved and sending the message if you dont support his cabinet picks he will go after you next election cycle and their will be a primary funded by EM so I'm not optimistic Vance is on theb hill to snitch

curt1010.bsky.social•159 days ago

Geez…this is just sad.

castanton.bsky.social•159 days ago

Why does Gaetz have to pay for sex?

nhrughooker.bsky.social•159 days ago

Are they all pedophiles.. WTF

erikday.bsky.social•159 days ago

This is good for public health officials to track down STI outbreaks

lindapatch.bsky.social•159 days ago

Oh good, another thing that will go absolutely nowhere. As if this country serves justice…

sddphoto.bsky.social•159 days ago

We cannot allow our government to be taken over by a bunch of pedophiles, criminals, felons, and creeps, and that is exactly what’s happening

porter1964.bsky.social•159 days ago

Typical Epstein wannabe.

girlkw77.bsky.social•159 days ago

The DOJ went out of their way to withhold info from the panel? Am I getting this right?

sanselon.bsky.social•159 days ago

Can Biden protect the people Trump has threatened by preemptive pardon (if there is such a thing)

alonewon.bsky.social•159 days ago

NYT is culpable for this. But hey, nice that they decided to report on something that puts someone like Gaetz in the spotlight NOW 🤬

border-colliemom.bsky.social•159 days ago

And many Christians voted for him. It boggles my mind

suebird33.bsky.social•159 days ago

Biggest hypocrites ever.

liam-hughes.bsky.social•158 days ago

“By their fruit you will know them.” They aren’t Christians.

canuck77.bsky.social•159 days ago

They allow priests, ministers et al to rape their children.

border-colliemom.bsky.social•159 days ago

It's sickening 😞

deangullberry47.bsky.social•159 days ago

Should this give me some weird kind of hope that this admin will be too incompetent to do its worst?

mari-lynn43.bsky.social•159 days ago

Even in Canada they are worried about trump being re-elected.... yikes 😱

loudwhisperer.bsky.social•159 days ago

Matt Gaetz should also be serving 11 years for sex trafficking. Instead another sexual predator is nominated the fox to guard the hen house. Only in Venezuela, I mean the USA.

thinkcritically.bsky.social•159 days ago

Probably because it’s going to the same person, damn woman in red!

heyworld2.bsky.social•158 days ago

Cringe

machineservant.com•159 days ago

Why wasn’t he charged? I never see any explanation about why he wasn’t charged by the DOJ when they investigated him.

lademnikita.bsky.social•159 days ago

This is sickening

yosounie.bsky.social•159 days ago

He literally spent his entire salary on underage sex workers

colemarie.bsky.social•159 days ago

His dad is a rich asshole who has bailed him out all his life. He

richienewport.bsky.social•159 days ago

Trump wants to use the department as a weapon against everyone he and his pals don’t like. That’s why he picked Matt.

bullmastiffla.bsky.social•158 days ago

Only easily blackmailed bigots may apply to the tRump administration.

2comprendre.bsky.social•159 days ago

Do this and pass this on:
Call now!
Ethics Committee direct phone number:
202 225 7103 option #1
and demand their release of the report on Matt Gaetz - you want the truth.
CALL NOW. I did.
YOU DESERVE THE TRUTH.

A child rapist. He is a child rapist. He is a child rapist. He is a child rapist.

Turns out the [human trafficking] call was coming from inside the House.

When I see payments like $501.23 I start to wonder what he got for the extra $1.23

maplepoutine.bsky.social•159 days ago

The DOJ used taxpayer money to defend Trump during his hush money trial and used resources to defend Matt Gaetz and then appointed a special counsel to prosecute Hunter Biden;The same weaponized DOJ they went to fire everyone from
