    "I’ll give you the truth why I’m not speaker. Because one person, a member of Congress, wanted me to stop an ethics complaint because he slept with a 17-year-old"

    kevin mccarthy said this earlier this year. why didnt gaetz sue him for slander? thats a serious accusation to make and if it was any of us we would sue, right?

    there are few things as disgusting as welching. This p***y literally conveniently left after he talked the most **** in history defending a guy that couldn't articulate a sentence while he strolled around in a diaper.

    Hush. You ran from this country like a coward. Don't belittle people who appreciate our country.

    He was elected to get rid of corruption, little did his supporters know that Trump is corruption.

    I don't like the poster you are responding to. While we may believe in many things in common, I feel his way of going about it is awful. And I renounce that.

    But I do not believe you appreciate this country. If you truly did, if you truly cared about the principals that it stands on regarding democracy, due process, justice, liberty, and freedom - then it's a betrayal to sit here and not stand up to the appointment of men who are nothing but loyalists to a king and will throw everything this country stands for into the trash to do his bidding. You know that is what is happening. Yet you support it. Why? Why can't you renounce something that I know that some part of you knows - is horrifically wrong

    Hes a convicted felon in financial fraud. The fact that a felon was voted in to fight corruption shows how stupid Americans are. Jesus christ

    The guy who left classified documents in a guest restroom at his house is going to fight fraud. Hilarious

    None of this should be surprising.

    Jesus - Trump has really picked some terrible people and shady people for positions around him.

    Matt Gaetz paid for prostitutes to travel with him and sleep with him, and even took them on the set of his television appearances. He has been accused of sex trafficking and one of the prostitutes claims Gaetz stopped having sex with another prostitute after learning she was a minor.

    Pete Hegseth has been accused of sexual assault and rape by a Republican woman. He has a long history of broken romantic relationships.

    Robert Kennedy Jr. has been accused by the former nanny of his children of sexual misconduct, he has cheated repeatedly on his wife, is a convicted heroin user

    Linda McMahon has been married to a literal monster for half a century, and she is Trump's choice for head of education and has been sued in the past for enabling sexual abuse of children.

    Tulsi Gabbard seems like a decent person - and conservatives can laugh at claims from the left that she is compromised, but you now even have fire brand Nikki Haley coming out and strongly ripping Trump for selecting her.

    Not all of his selections are terrible people....

    Sean Duffy is too extreme on some social issues, but at least he and his wife are known as decent people - and don't go around raping people or assaulting nannies.

    Same with Michael Walz and his wife - who is known as a genuinely good woman.

    This - I don't know why someone would want a cabinet with so many people that are crooks...... and that doesn't even count the numerous grifters like DR. OZ, that likely will not do eat one's face, but just grifts.

    Picking Gaetz seems to be the battering ram to make Congress greenlight a slightly lesser known but more pliant goon.

    He's working 4 U!!!

    I see a lot of accusations. Have any of them been adjudicated?

    Yeah - I agree it really is a LOT of TERRIBLE accusations against these people..... sex trafficking and statutory rape against Gaetz, with his very good friend going to prison for many years for human trafficking.

    Pete Hegseth - being accused of raping a Republican woman, ejaculating on her stomach as she said "no" - all while her husband and children were in a hotel room in that same hotel. Hegseth being on his second marriage, while he gets another woman pregnant - leaves the second wife for the third woman after she had the baby.

    Linda McMahon in emails telling employees to let the company doctor know that the feds are onto him for rampant steroid abuse... then being married to a man that had had a dozen lawsuits against him for sexual assault, rape and other acts.... and she herself has been a defendant in a recent suit.

    That is a LOT of allegations - with people around these people all getting in trouble.

    RFK Jr. groping nannies - and responding by saying he has some many skeletons in his closet that if they could vote, he would win every election.

    That is a lot of smoke --- and a lot of smoke over a long time..... and a lot of smoke around the people that these nominees choose to associate with.

    If your stance is that there has to be a conviction in a court of law - so be it - I don't personally agree with that - but that is your choice.

    Also - as I said, there are some "clean" and "decent" human beings that Trump has nominated, several of those that he has nominated have never been accused of rape, molesting their nanny, human trafficking - and other scumbag behavior.

    right wingers wont care even if the accusations are proven true beyond a reasonable doubt. they have shown over and over again that they dont care if its a trumper/republican.

    even when facts and evidence are out there, like trump being on a recording pressuring/threatening the georgia sec of state to "find" 11,780 votes they dont care. even when trump incites his supporters into insurrection and they trash our nations capitol and beat the s*** out of hundreds of cops and the whole world sees it they dont care...actually, its worse than not caring because they say these people are "hostages" being held in "gulags" who should all be pardoned.
