I don’t have words.
I'm not misremembering this, am I? He was like full-on outed as a pedo and then nothing happened?
Yes, he was involved in trafficking underage girls across state lines
Yea and he got off because his buddy flipped on him and they successfully used the argument "you can't believe anything that guy says he's a convicted pedophile."
that said burgerstan gets exactly the kind of representation it deserves... not what it needs (rather the opposite) but what it deserves, not justifying it but Trump's bringing all the true blue-blooded Real Americans™ into office, bald eagles and the founding fathers cry
what do you mean nothing happened?
pedos took over the government and made him Attorney General so they can all get away with being pedos.
thats what happened to him for being a pedo.
Bill Clinton not only still walks the earth but was actively involved in Harris's campaign
He even did a late October "Palestinians deserve this" speech in Michigan
At least it appears the universe is trying to impose karmatic justice on the Clinton's and Kamala.
These assholes are failing upward faster than anybody I've ever seen.
Caesar. [To the Soothsayer] The ides of March are come.
Soothsayer. Ay, Caesar; but not gone.
If memory serves there was never anything concrete enough to bring charges, but a lot of smoke
His buddy Greenberg pled guilty to underage sex crime trafficking and is currently in prison
They were going to bring charges but the primary witness was the victim, who is or was a sex worker. Since the defense would just say, "You can't trust a prostitute over a US representative.", they decided not to proceed.
Since the defense would just say, "You can't trust a prostitute over a US representative."
Perhaps I missed some details, but I believe the argument was a bit different (but also probably included what you said). They wanted to use the other convicted pedophile, his buddy, but they feared a jury wouldn't trust a convicted pedophile. I think these were both effectively speculation though since the feds never formally acknowledged much of it. We saw the evidence and we knew they were pursuing charges... and then it went poof with little reason why
This news just got a blank stare out of me . With Boebert heading Education and the whole Doge Dept thing, I genuinely don't know how I'm supposed to process it.
Edit: apparently the Boebert thing is a meme.
That would be a fun game. Trump’s picks and actions - real or fictional?
I'm not seeing anything about Boebert, care to link something on that
I have to admit, it has been entertaining to see /r/politics completely losing their minds at Trump's picks.
I'd go so far as to say r/politics is even readable and entertaining right now because they're loosing their minds, instead of gaslighting us that they're not supporting genocide
I forgot how fucking entertaining Trump was as president. Horrible fascist policies, of course, but it makes for great TV
unless/until you get crushed under their boots.
gives me a funny meme idea: a bunch of people in a concentration camp, sitting on the floor around a TV eating popcorn while watching other prisoners in other concentration camps getting mass executed and being like "woah this trump presidency sure is entertaining" maybe as the guards behind them load bullets into their rifles.
the future is grand!
The same people would be in concentration camps under the much more boring Kamabla regime.
President Trump thank you for defending pedophiles across the country by nominating Mr. Gaetz as AG
no but really what did he mean by this
i will pray someone asks him at his confirmation hearing, the only way democrats can possibly #resist

Charitable interpretation: it's referring to all the old people who go there to retire to a beach condo.
the death to America speedrun executive team just keeps stepping on the gas
they're gonna crash this whole thing so hard they'll make Liz Truss and Javier Milei look like fuckin' amateurs
Right? Like all these cabinet positions is getting my hopes up that there will be no amerika in 2028 so no more election shit to hear about
At thisnfucking rate idk if there's gonna be America in 2026.
Inshallah
This is gonna be a straight up no guardrails seat belts off airbags removed fucking car crash.
People might be fistfighting in gas stations within a mo th of inauguration because the charade of the rule of law has completely disappeared. We are truly gonna be in the "smoke em if you got em" phase of democracy.
I'm convinced Trump just opened up ChatGPT and asked it who would be the worst and funniest person for each of these cabinet positions
It's fine, if the nominations are bad the Senate can always exercise restraint - snnnkk - and - hehe - refuse - bwahaha - refuse to confirm the unsuitable nominees.
At least the confirmation hearings promise to be entertaining as hell.
Sadly no Democrat would be so uncivil as to ask "Hey wait aren't you a pedophile who sex-trafficked children across state lines?"
As a , I'm compelled to inform you that Republicans have the Senate, and they'll probably just do what Trump wants
Yeah, that's what makes it funny - all the rhetoric about the "strong Republican party" that we apparently need and it's going to result in a bunch of people who ostensibly ought to know better giving carte blanche to a pile of idiots.
Not that it probably matters, but is Matt gaetz even a lawyer? He does have a wild look though, so the cabinet of grotesques is filling out nicely.
Dude looks like a perfect mix of Quagmire and the monster from Young Frankenstein
Yeah, that’s spot on. Also he looked weird but “ok” and then he got like a facelift or something? Which… did not improve the situation.
