    And nothing will happen, and he will spend the next ten years being the “special guest speaker” at colleges all over the country making hundreds of thousands per speech. And the pieces of shit win again.

      Unfortunately you’re probably right. Anything even remotely connected to politics has gotten so cult-like that “nuh uh” has become a valid defense for most.

      Won’t matter unless he’s got hella damning evidence, maybe not even then. Anything he says going forward will look like petty revenge.

      If you live in america, you can/should arrange a protest.

      People seem to equate commenting with protesting these days. More cozy I guess.

        Great idea, I’ll go protest after I’m done working my 12 hours so I can afford to feed and shelter my family.

          It seems like you have a connection to the outside world somehow. Maybe you can still arrange something…

          But it might be easier to be upset about a foreigner, whom is trying to get americans to stop being so docile.

    So turns out the child-fucker is indeed a child-fucker. I could give a shit about the drug use, other than the typical qon hypocrisy there.

    People with those “Pedophiles for Trump” signs need to update it to “Pedophiles for Republicans” to be more accurate and more inclusive.

    He’s threatened to expose more creeps in the GOP if the report was released, so I guess we’ll see if he follows through.

    “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,” the 37-page report concludes.

    Also US and state laws…

    🤯🤯🤯 raping a minor is against the law now? And what will be punished after? Murder? That’s very inconsiderate.

    ITT people are pretending this wasn’t all common knowledge well before now and we could not have possibly been through an entire investigation and prosecution already.

    How does that boot taste? Is there a special twang to child predator boots or is it the same taste as Biden’s?

        Most charitable interpretation is that both of them committed crimes, and that in both cases their crimes were ignored for political reasons.

        Less charitably, they’re suggesting the particular crimes were comparable.
