The craziest thing is that this didn't come out when vetting the candidate for AG, he is using AG position to escape this investigation.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

This was all public knowledge, the DOJ just dropped the charges instead of prosecuting him because Merrick Garland is a useless piece of shit.
You think they're being vetted for anything other than "will ask 'how high' when Trump orders them to jump"?
Besides the child-fucking, I thought prostitution was illegal? Or does that not matter for the elitists like Gaetz?
It doesn't matter for right-wing elite.
Yes, fair point. That is an important distinction. They whipped up nonsense about Hillary trafficking kids from the basement of a basement-less pizza parlor based on absolutely nothing, and created an entire movement over that nonsense. Normal Americans point and laugh at such absurdity, but many of the deplorables STILL fervently believe in qanon insanity.
Meanwhile, Gaetz is credibly accused of ACTUALLY doing it, and.....crickets.
Every accusation is a confession
Hmmm maybe we should do a recount of the 2024 election what with all the accusations of fraud coming from the right.
I said the same damn thing. A few hours into the 5th, and Trump was over there yelling VOTER FRAUD! VOTER FRAUD! and then absolutely fucking nothing. Haven't heard a peep about it since. Funny how it's election fraud when he loses, but perfectly fine and normal when he wins. Hmmmm.....
gotta persecute trans people and librarians to keep the children safe.
and they elect and protect this kid fucker.
This is fine
At first I was "yes it is fine, so he hired a prostitute" then:
At least one of the girls was below the age of consent
Ah. Gotcha.
Ya I was being sarcastic. There’s nothing fine about anything in this new administration but here we are and so I’m just gonna check the fuck out. America is full of TikTok and Facebook dumbasses
Oh I totally got the sarcasm!
I have considerable sympathy for the American people and pity for the ones who think they want this. Unfortunately for my country we tend to import quite a lot of American culture and seeing what's coming is worrisome.
😬😬😬
Democrats faces when they realize there’s nothing they will come of it.
The dipshits should at least work to legalize sex work. But no, even that won't come of this.
It's too late at night for me right now, but did Gaetz ever get on Trump's bad side?
Is it possible he's using Gaetz to test the waters of his nominees, or is he using the nomination to humiliate Gaetz? Has Trump responded to the scandal?
It seems odd that Trump would purposely trigger infighting before he took office.
