A confederacy of assholes

Neither Orwell nor Bradbury nor Vonnegut could have come up with anything so bizarre and upside down as to have a complete criminal and felon pretend that he cares about law and order.

Assad wasn't toppled by just one group of rebels, but by the Kurds and Turkey as well. Was it coordinated? Sure. Was there a guarantee of success? I suspect not.

Matt Gaetz is the Eddie Haskell of Jeffrey Epsteins

Murkowski openly advocated for the Obama administration to rename Mt. McKinely as Denali...this feels like a really good way to piss off one of the most important votes in his party (for absolutely no reason).

When Iwas there in the 90's the locals called it Denali, not McKinley.

Tell you what Don. I'll vote for the billions to buy Greenland if you sign off on Puerto Rico and DC as states. That's the deal.

Joel stole millions of dollars while being tax collector of a Florida county. What did he do with that money. He, and his good friend Matt used it as fuel for coke and sex parties. So he rolled on Matt. He's now in jail for federal fraud charges.

That's a trafficking charge. But, as far as I know, the Feds had a problem with credible witnesses. The victim is now working as a porn star. The DOJ thought that they shouldn't prosecute a case they would lose.

Most civilized countries have abolished the death penalty

Sorry Donnie. Has to get through Congress along with all the other "deals" you used this weekend to deflect your utter failure of last week.

I dont think there are comparable federal laws for rape. Human trafficking and wire fraud, sure but rape is dependant on the laws of the state. The Federal case was hampered by the lack of credible witnesses. The state of Florida will do nothing because DeSantis and Rapey are good friends.

Morally it’s the right thing to do in my eyes. It’s also surprising how the pro life and pro death penalty people are the same people usually.

 

From the report: “The Committee determined there is substantial evidence that Representative 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.”

More: “The record overwhelmingly suggests that Representative Gaetz had sex with multiple women at a 2017 Florida party, including the then-17-year-old, for which they were paid… Victim A recalled receiving $400 in cash from Representative Gaetz that evening, which she understood to be payment for sex. At the time, she had just completed her junior year of high school. Victim A said that she did not inform Representative Gaetz that she was under 18 at the time, nor did he ask her age.”
