Damn you. I hate defending Gaetz and Trump yet here I am. The US has this thing called due process, which is you the assumption of innocence until proven guilty. What is being said here is Gaetz was given the presumption of innocence until the evidence began mounting against him.
So you know that tactic they use often? Where when they introduce a bill, they will add some absolutely ridiculous things to it before removing them on another round, saying "this list is much better than before" and everyone goes for it because it IS technically better than before?
They also worried that if this got released it would press the need to release more of the investigations that has been hushed down. There is PLENTY of those. Most of the republican goons have ghosts in their clauset!
The challenge with focusing on a candidate being morally invalid for a position is we lose steam to challenge if they aren’t morally invalidated but still incompetent for the role. It’s a perfect way to perform a bait and switch.
The evidence probably had almost nothing to do with it. If Gaetz had been less of a complete assh*ole in his professional life, he'd have gotten all the R votes he needed regardless of the evidence.
He just couldn't pass the "not quite Satan's taint" test
We shouldn’t underestimate the importance of this. Because it means that we still live in a country where this behavior, if believed or proven, would be unacceptable to most people. Let’s not take that for granted.
We know what they will do...They'll get some stooge to do a statement on behalf of the entire party and laugh it off. What I would like to see in my lifetime is for my party to grow some balls and fight back just as dirty
Mar-a-Lago. Virginia Guthrie. Underage. Rub downs of old men. Epstein victim in pic with Prince Andrew.
Kraft. Owner of the Patriots. Trump backer. Masturbation by underage masseuse. Film squashed. Money-laundering. Lev Parnas. Illegal donations to Trump.
Us women need to start catfishing all republican men- see how many we can get to stray and send explicit things from now till Inauguration Day when it's then sent to every news agency
It's kinda wild though how similar circumstances have just slid off Trump. I'm curious if that kind of psychological phenomenon has a name or does "cult of personality" simply cover it?
I wouldn't say that means it was bad, but rather there's possibly something there that would implicate other people who are currently flying under the radar. Otherwise they'd just let it play out and then turn on him to
Alternatively, they just didn't feel like going through the song and dance to get him appointed. If their plan really is to dismantle half of our government systems, they'll need to hit hard and fast. Letting the system's built in bureaucracy slow them down at all will limit what they can do
No, they did not even cut them loose because too much evidence was coming out. They caught him loose because that evidence included some other woman whose name they did not want to disclose.
They hate him, and feared what he could tell. The sexual abuse was just very useful for them. They couldn't care less about his sexual excesses. How could they as it is innocent compared to what their orange idol has been up to.
Should have done the same for illegitimate 45 & God help us all, still illegitimate soon-to-be 47. More than enough evidence for rape (numerous times), treason (numerous times), conspiracy, etc., and it keeps coming. His ability to breathe the same air as hard-working citizens is a crime itself.
Hmm, I don't quite agree. I think they cut him loose because they realise that going to war with congress eight weeks before they control all branches with an iron fist wasn't worth their time.
In eight weeks' time they'll brass things out even if the evidence is this overwhelming.
They only act when they’re caught really bad.
Also, this illustrates why there is no trump V2.
Because trump has had multiple crimes exposed and he just refuses to aknowledge them or accept judgement.
No other human can do that.
So that’s why trump will eventually die off. He can’t be replaced.
Eh makes sense they'd fire after enough evidence, firing on claims that later end up proven false does damage company's rep, so they keep the worker but once evidence has come out that proves the claims beyond reasonable doubt the company fires.
(Not on anyone's side, I just wanna see that guy rot)
MTG knows all the sex scandals and was ready to spill the tea. Maybe that’s why she’s Goge or gorge or whatever Leon and Vivien are doing in our government..
I think that big old Ethics Report had a lot more names than Matt Gaetz in it for doing drug-fueled sex parties with young women (men too?) and powerful Congressional Reps didn't want their dirty deeds coming out in a confirmation hearing for the voting public to see.
That is the disturbing part.
But I remember a documentary on pedophiles saying these pervs have an underground network where they support & feed each other.
Looks like they aren't underground anymore. They are in the White House & unashamedly proud of themselves.
From the beginning, the right wing radicals focused on finding out who leaked information, and how they were getting caught cheating and screwing. We need to find a way to stop the normalization of crime by the right.
Maybe they all are worried about being caught. Wasn't Madison Cawthorn shunned because he blabbed about being invited to drug orgies by his colleagues? 🤔
37. States in the Continental United States allow Girls as young as 15 years to Marry an adult male over the age of 21.
With one Parents Consent. If the married girl was to toast the marriage with alcohol. She could be Arrested. The legal age is 21 and over.
Can someone please explain please.
🇮🇪🇪🇺
Captain Forehead is gone, but instead we get Bondi. She took an illegal campaign donation from the charity Trump defrauded to drop an investigation into Trump's fake university.
The last to know they've been conned is usually the mark.
I always go back to Madison Cawthorn and his statement about going to sex and drug parties with the Republicans and sure enough he was booted out of the House of Representatives quite fast
America has elected twice a known misogynist who brags about his "grab them" activities & "you can do anything" status, found guilty of liable for sexual abuse, hung with Epstein, drools over his daughter & they still worry about Trump looking bad with someone like Gaetz around?? Nope, not a cult.
I think they cut him loose because they knew if they didn’t, that report would be released. Including the identity of the adult woman who was involved in one of the encounters. Bet it’s someone we know
Correct. And that's a serious issue! Standard morals and ethics are not applied any more. It's just about getting caught! If not - do what you like, illegal or not, it does not matter. Very worrisome!
I can only hope that they are equally troubled by the evidence that Pam Bondi, as AG for FL, declined to join the Trump U fraud case (though more FL students were defrauded than NY students) after trump gave a $25K donation "she had personally solicited" to a political group supporting her.
You are right - doesn't normally stop them though, and wouldn't have this time if the nomination of him had come after Trump and the new Senate was sworn in.
That and Gaetz may understand that project 2025 is gleichschaultung. The ugly truth, it's these darn RINO's and, you know, Christians in the way.....But not to worry, there'll probably be a Night Of the Long Knives. And I ain't singing AC/DC.
Funny how the parties flipped into even more extremes 🤣🤷 I thought rethuglicans were the dry cut law an order party? Now this generation they're the breaking law party 🤷 are we in an alternate Universe? Can George just be our Captain already?
If congress doesn't release Gaetz ethics report, he may be employed in government or justice dept not requiring confirmation.
Mike Johnson approved Hunter Biden's private documents & dic-pics to be released to public. Why shouldn't people see the ethics report? We should see what we paid for.
Still don’t understand; he was caught trafficking a minor, the pimp was caught and jailed, the girl went into protective custody, but Matt Gaetz remains free? She wasn’t old enough to give consent by either FL state or federal law, kinda horrible, so…?!
Corrupt politicians / public servants are only remorseful / apologetic because they have been caught, not because they did the thing(s) they have been caught doing.
Corruption starts small and is repeated the more successful they are at getting away with it. It's never a one off.
He was caught, justice denied again but hopefully not forever and what is POTUS doing with his new powers with enemies within 🤷♂️🤷♂️should at least demand a recount of swings States?
Correction...it wasn't just ONE, it was paying for multiple women for underaged sex. He was banking that he could fight the allegations if it was just one person. When two came out, he knew he was fucked.
For republicans, the criminal act isn’t the crime. The crime is reporting the crime. Stop reporting crimes, and presto! No more crime!
It’s the same principle of stopping COVID by not testing for COVID.
Nah, it was Marjorie Taylor Green threatening the entire Republican party with exposure - that made them finally cut him loose, and give MTG an appointment to serve as token female to Musk and VIvek.
Notice that didn't get reported much!
It's not like the media are doing their job anymore though.
When he left Congress there was still an ethics investigation report, that would’ve been germane to his appointment hearings (even through they were already saying they wouldn’t release it), but with him dropping out, they can just kill the whole thing and the file doesn’t matter any longer.
Those same people supported a rapist and known sexual predator for President.
What's a little hebephilia compared to that?
These are irredeemable human beings. All of them.
actually, it was the dead guy in Matt's dorm room at school, who died from sexual asphyxiation, that they were not wanting to explain...I mean, in zero ways would that go well..(always look for the shoe they won't let drop.)
Seems to be the OS for much of Christianity. It's not abt being actually good--but not being caught. This is drilled in by fear that God is watching, & extrapolated to any authority. I am sure this is made much worse by teaching that ppl are inherently bad--which also serves as an excuse.
The arrogance of people with so many skeletons in their closet never ceases to astound me. Running for public office when their flimsy public persona will not stand up to scrutiny.

I'm sure there's a market for it, though.
I hate it.
🤔
...and the threat of blackmail was raised to silence fellow Republicans with exposure of their own misdeeds if they didn't fall in line...
...so...."reassuring"

Oh sorry we didn’t actually meant that. It was only messaging to destroy the Dems!
(Not on anyone's side, I just wanna see that guy rot)
I'm sure there's a whole lot more of them out there too.

That and a rape claim
This prompted him to make an immediate settlement.
So, it’s up to you to decide if that ls enough proof?
His dad marched with the KKK and NAZI’s, so I can imagine where he got it from.

It sure seems he’s following Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch blueprint fairly close.
Next step is to seize all the illegal’s funds to finance the NEXT STEP.

Is she saying to protect criminal activity, or to expose criminal activity? Or to protect or I will tell?
Either way is criminal activity.

I'd imagine it was the bad blood for him in his party.
Didn't one guy almost hit him over the speaker vote shenanigans?
Notice that didn't get reported much!

They knew before that...well before that..
He backed out because he didn’t want the report to come out.
