the very idea they are discussing whether or not to release an ETHICS REPORT

[Skittles]

on someone nominated to be ATTORNEY GENERAL

THIS IS BIZARRO WORLD

[Irish_Dem]

1. For a man who is a well known drug addict and sex trafficker of minor children.

Everyone in DC knows exact what and who Gaetz is.

[luvallpeeps]

2. Both parries should demand it!

Other than being beholden to the orange one, why wouldn’t Rs want to expose the freak? From what I understand, his own party can’t stand him. The people should be demanding answers as well. If he were a democrat, I’d want it out, and I’d want him GONE!

[Skittles]

5. TRY to imagine if it was DEMS nominating a fucking PERVERT to be ATTORNEY GENERAL

or a fucking PERVERT AND CON MAN to be PRESIDENT

JUST TRY

[LiberalArkie]

17. Big difference. The Democratic Party stands for a single nation democracy. The Republican is more in line with

single individual states but with a few rules made up by the nation like Europe. And the Euro.

[Skittles]

20. yeah OK

how does a national abortion ban fit into that?

[paleotn]

26. If only...I'd be all for it at this point. But that ain't it.

They want to make the whole country Jebusland. I just hope they'll be momentarily distracted when VT joins Canada. Or maybe..."what's a couple hundred thousand old hippies anyway. We don't care. Go off and do your own thing." I doubt the later but am still hopeful.

[Passages]

3. Not if you consider America elected a well known felon to be president.

How many newspapers had headlines telling Trump to drop his bid for POTUS after his convictions, on the front page?


They went out of their way to tell Biden to drop out now! ...after the debate weeks later. But no urgency for the felon!

Bizarro world and then some. That is my greatest fear that each new low becomes normalized.

[Solly Mack]

4. Corrupt world. Blatantly corrupt.

[vankuria]

6. Back in the day

I remember Clinton nominated a woman for attorney general (I forgot her name) and it came up I believe during the confirmation hearings she didn’t claim tax on her nanny’s salary (something like that) and had to withdraw her name. Boy how far we have fallen!

[Skittles]

7. I remember that

seems like a century ago now

Trump the pervert seems to love nominating perverts

[lees1975]

8. Someone just needs to leak it.

There are no consequences in Congress for doing anything. Find an aide who's leaving in January anyway and just give a copy to the NYT. Oh, wait, we need someone who won't cover for the bad guy.

[Blappy]

14. I have to believe the report will come out, the question is by whom and what is the blow back from the blowhard /nt

[Shoonra]

9. Not releasing the report tells us something

If this committee report said that Gaetz was innocent and all the accusations were lies, there'd be no hesitation in releasing the report notwithstanding his resignation of his Senate seat. But they (Republicans and especially Trumpers) want to keep it secret. What does that tell you?

[Skittles]

12. tells me that Trump the pervert loves him some perverts

also tells me that Trump voters loves them some perverts

[BattleRow]

22. Felonious fellator

[OldBaldy1701E]

16. It tells me plenty! (n/t)

[meadowlander]

10. Our tax dollars paid for that report.

Unless there a national security considerations they have no right to withhold it.

[Emile]

11. Protecting a PEDOPHILE, the Magic R has unlimited powers.

[Clouds Passing]

13. Looney-Bins-Land

[SidneyR]

15. It's not the world that's bizarre.

It's this country, sliding into fascism. And by the way, his resignation is only from the current Congress; the new Congress takes effect next year, and he can easily come back if he's not confirmed. Back to a more supportive, GOP-controlled Congress that'll do jack about the ethics report. Win, win.

[Blue Full Moon]

18. On top of that

Christo fascist government? With a fraudster flim flam man as their man of god.

[tenderfoot]

19. That they're discussing it means it'll never be made public

as always

[rubbersole]

21. Release it!

Clear his name! Witch hunt! Fake news!

[GiqueCee]

23. It is a truly sick nation...

... that allows a convicted felon to even run for president, never mind electing the sonofabitch. And now a pedophile has been nominated by the Gangrenous Boil on the Ass of Humanity to be Attorney General. And Putin isn't even pretending that he didn't put a bloodied finger on the scales, in fact, he's bragging about it, and saying that such a service comes with certain obligations.And he defenestrated a ballet dancer on Saturday for not admiring a man who delights in slaughtering children.

[ancianita]

25. Don't blame the whole 78% of the nation for what 39% of the electorate did,

who are really only 22% of the whole nation.

Don't lose perspective and start hating your country. There are evil bad guys who love money and power out there, and they come out when elections come around. But they are not the nation. We're of the 78% who are going to resist their injecting Mammon, the Kremlin, and policies of destruction to the White House and The People's House in Congress.

Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

[Skittles]

28. neither Trump nor Gaetz could pass the FBI reviews I needed to work on government contracts

WTF IS GOING ON HERE

[Orrex]

24. Their claim is that the report is a political hit-job

Therefore, releasing it would only taint the approval process.

Of course, that's bullshit, but the media will happily rationalize it as "doubts about the integrity of the investigative process," and that'll be the end of it.

[pansypoo53219]

27. as it was saids on on the media/NPR i think. democrats feel shame. the GOPpers are shameless.

[blm]

29. Completely bizarro world.

[Skittles]

30. the greedy old pig party is making this shit NORMAL

discussing whether or not a fucking SEX TRAFFICKER should be ATTORNEY GENERAL
