Who would've guessed that the convicted felon wants other criminals in his cabinet. The GOP has stooped so low that their party is just filled with criminals and sex offenders...
Part of me wishes Trump would actually go ahead with that “one hour purge” idea that he had so I can start slapping some republican in their face-shaped asses. I’m trying not to be that person anymore, but holy shit this past week has been a nonstop fight or flight response.
How can they get away with this stuff? It’s sickening! If they can’t pass a background check they have no right to even be nominated, let alone appointed.
His response isn’t meat to convince anyone, it’s to placate MAGA with a talking point at the thanksgiving table…. Which BTW…..I want to hear stories from.
They don’t care because they blame the minor and not the adult. To them it was because of what she was wearing which made her promiscuous.. To them she’s of age to be married and have children.. Even if she doesn’t want to..
Remember after Trump was elected first time HR1 the very first bill of the new congress was about weakening the ethics rules. Paul Ryan had to pull them back from that precipice. Ethics are such an inconvenient thing for GOP to have and adhere to. Here we go again. The roller coaster 🎢 begins. 😾
It’s like bouncers at a nightclub pulling the curtain over the entrance & standing guard while he has sex with a teen, which actually happened. But sure, let’s pretend it didn’t happen
I read something yesterday about this happening in the past. A member resigned and the ethics committee released its report anyway. Can’t find it now. If there’s a save on this site, I don’t know where it is!
I wish someone would pressure them with a simple "why?" when they make dumb comments like this. Why does it set a terrible precedent?
I genuinely think it'd stump him, because he's just saying things he knows his constituents will accept without actually putting any thought behind the words.
It is a terrible precedent that the nominee for the AG had his ethics investigated. The person filling that position (and all of them) should have the character whose ethics are never in question.
This the way they do things: McCarthy gets rid of Cheney. Back stabber Stefanik in. Gaetz gets rid of McCarthy. MAGA MIKE in. Ethics report to be released. Trump picks Gaetz for AG. Gaetz resigns. Stefanik & Gaetz IOU Trump. MAGA MIKE-Stays out of Trump's line of fire because he owes Trump as well!
I have a funny feeling that if this report was about someone with the last name of Biden, Clinton, Obama, etc, he would be all in favor of its release.
“We” didn’t vote for immigrant prison camps ,the purge of the military generals ,segregated schools thru vouchers,forcing women to give birth against their will,rounding up homeless people for tent cities.The dangerous precedent is listening to Mike Johnson. Release the information.
I think this is damning of Johnson, himself. What precedent is it setting, other than releasing a report on the ethics and behavior of a now former member of Congress. Frankly, I think it should 100% be public information.
WHERE they had sex the age of consent is 16, but Gaetz claims he didn't violate the Mann act because he did not travel WITH her to that location, even though it was proved he paid for her to fly from FL to DC. Subway Jared wouldn't be in prison if he'd just told that 17 year old to meet him in DC.
Well many religions dispute Jesus’s resurrection and I do not prescribe to any human who claims to know the words of our creator. Selfishness and fear of death lead religion to flourish in my opinion so Mikey can believe whatever he wants because the truth is nobody knows what happens after death.
Its not too late guys. We're a gracious nation, 1776 can be forgiven. Come back to the loving embrace of a country that knows paedophiles belong in a powerless constitutional monarchy, not in the government
Well look i wont lie to you, it is significant. Especially with compound interest and all. But how about you give us Virginia, and go back to spelling colour with a "U" and aluminium with two "I"s and we call it square?
Oooh really was hoping for Virginia for nostalgic reasons it being named after our favourite monarch after all. You have a deal but you all have to give cricket a chance. Deal?
We'll give any sport a chance as long as we can bet on it. Got a good explanation of the rules? Ooohh...potential dealbreaker to reunification: Football/Soccer.
This guy is Hilarious " Not the way we do things? " He's just pissed he wasn't invited to the parties...His kid would've got an alert on " MY Dad's A https://Perv.com
Oh for sure! Perish the thought of transparency & accountability, It’s not as if they are meant to serve the nation, get paid by the taxpayers nor are doing anything illegal, right?….Hold on just a minute!….
Me thinks it will “leak” out into the public. Probably on trumps orders. Gaetz is sacrificed and maga land can get back to whining about the deep state.
We must be able, as American citizens to be able to see the report! If a crime has been committed by a member of Congress (at the time of the crime) then we have a right to know! Screw Johnson and his Dictatorship thoughts and cover up!
Of course not! If Mike Johnson is whining about not releasing the report… then it must be released. The audacity of MAGA. They try to break down our constitution and The Rule of Law but try to hide their own disgusting crimes from Americans.
Call the Ethics Committee at 202-225-7103 and tell them they need to release the report immediately. ALL facts about any cabinet nominee need to be known and discused.
Perhaps someone who covers Congress should remind Johnson that a week ago Gaetz was re-elected. If the Ethics Report had cleared him of criminality/malfeasance, there was no reason for him to resign NOW. Leaving means the report is highly damaging and this stunt was to prevent its release.
Isn’t the money the ethics commitee spent on their investigation “taxpayer money?” If so, doesn’t the report belong to the taxpayers? Contact your Representative to demand the report be released.
Oh no!! We can’t break a prece…(looks at picture of 34 time convicted felon, S’Ar, twice impeached, led a coup, refusing to sign code of ethics, morally and legally bankrupt president)…dent.
US politics has turned into one of the darkest circuses I've ever seen. Youd think the Joker was involved, but I fear even he has higher moral standards than this.

Hypocrites
Maybe it will accidentally be released online for a few hours.
Love your insights
Is a pedophile.
With every objection they just make him look guiltier and guiltier.
How did it ever get to the point that they don't call out stuff like this in Congress?
I genuinely think it'd stump him, because he's just saying things he knows his constituents will accept without actually putting any thought behind the words.
OMG. Too much unchecked power. It’s just wrong.
And have you noticed how the most vile characters constantly skate the line of hypocrisy!?
Nothing to see here.
Women's rights? What women's rights?
We already know the report is damning just from this simple reasoning.
We’re also forgetting Epstein said Trump was his best friend
Also Speaker Johnson: "Knowing if a Republican is a pedophile is a step too far"
But then, in all probability, so did Trump and Barr, the previous AG.
Truly, a terrible precedent to set.
I hope he wasn’t telling lies? I’m sure that’s frowned upon
Fake men and women of God allow predators free passes
Disgusting

Who cares? The coup has been accomplished. Who can tell us what's happening in the real world of King T? Someone must have contacts inside.
I'd play a "what if Kamala won and did this" game but we all know she wouldn't have picked someone like this!
Thank you Brian, for doing what you do. 🤗
