    Gaetz, the sex-scandal-plagued Republican who recently dropped out as President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for attorney general, violated several state laws relating to sexual misconduct while in office, according to CBS News, which obtained a final draft of the report.

    The investigators reportedly found “substantial evidence” that Gaetz violated House rules and other standards of conduct “prohibiting prostitution, statutory rape, illicit drug use, impermissible gifts, special favors or privileges, and obstruction of Congress.”

    Like can’t we just say he’s a fucking criminal rapist?

    The amount of waffling language is fucking infuriating. He didn’t just violate the law, he said “fuck the law” and broke it willingly.

    Any regular citizen would have had their ass in prison over statutory rape and prostitution fucking years ago. This entire shitshow is corrupt from top to bottom. When I was a kid, this is the kind of shit they said happened in lawless countries.

      Well, they cannot call donvict that without having to pay donvict off, so I guess they’ll be just as milquetoast here. But even before the donvict shakedown, they’ve always been this “objective” about qon criminals. I think one of the peak examples of this was when Ronnie Raygun died and seeing the “liberal media” treatment of that…hooboy.

      The feds dropped the investigation into statutory rape because the girl wouldn’t testify and opened an OF site. Also, his buddy Joel didn’t flip when he landed in prison.

      We now they’re BOTH talking. I see no legal reason Florida can’t prosecute for statutory rape as the age of consent in Florida is 18. I don’t think double jeopardy applies here?

      EDIT: Reading the report now. Looks like way more he can be nailed with! WAY more!

    How god damn stupid is America that the majority of people think that Republicans, perfectly represented by Gatez, are the party of any sort of Christian values.

        Dealing with people. I know on average, you will never find people less understanding, less generous, less kind, less christian than a loud self professed Christians. Most atheists are better Christians than Christians in all but one metric.

          That’s been my experience as well.

          There are literal murderers and criminals that look like actual saints next to some of the Christians I’ve known. Anyone who flaunts their beliefs as a supposed token of their kindness and generosity is rarely ever either kind or generous, regardless of belief.

      Gaetz didn’t even pay lip service to the Christian shtick. They don’t need to play that card anymore.

      Advertising works. If you make the same claim repeatedly, a lot of people will just accept it without questioning it. The more people accept the claim, the more legitimate it seems.

    Breaking: Gaetz no longer in consideration for Trump White House role. Trump says on Truth Social, “those are rookie numbers! You gotta more bigly those numbers!”

    Um. I have ten years on him and he’d have to pay me thousands to even begin to consider that. Not surprised in the least.
