Amazing what it takes these days for the party of morals, values and law and order to begrudgingly push a member out of Congress.

Al Franken got pushed out for a picture...

No wonder the orange pedo wanted him as AG.

The Republican-led House Ethics Committee in their report on Matt Gaetz:
"Nearly every young woman that the Committee interviewed confirmed that she was paid for sex by, or on behalf of, Representative Gaetz."

The party of family values in a nutshell.

He didn't "have sex with a minor"
He raped a child

It must be frustrating for him knowing that the Once and Future President, Epstein's Best Friend, has gotten away with much worse.

Donald has been perfecting his act for almost eight decades.

Not Matt's fault he's young.

True... with a little effort, Matt could be the Trumpublicans next Pres Candidate.

At first I thought, well, he should be charged and arrested.

But, then I thought, what's the point?

Trumpy will just pardon him in order to "own the libs".

I believe "owning the libs" is a major plank in the maga party platform.

Gaetz' then-girlfrind "appeared to act as an intermediary" between Gaetz and women he paid for sex, the committee found, citing text messages it obtained. The committee said it found evidence that "Representative Gaetz's then-girlfriend sometimes participated with him in sexual encounters with other women who were active on the website or otherwise involved in sex-for-money arrangements."

The committee bolstered its findings by citing those text messages, including when Gaetz's then-girlfriend wrote to women that "the guys (Representative Gaetz and Mr. Greenberg) wanted me to share that they are a little limited in their cash flow this weekend ... (M)att was like(,) if it can be more of a customer appreciation week ... ."

"Scoop: How the Matt Gaetz ethics report finally came out

The House Ethics Committee's report into former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) had been poised to stay officially buried " until two centrist Republicans on the panel unexpectedly voted to release it, Axios has learned."

"Reps. Dave Joyce (R-Ohio) and Andrew Garbarino (R-N.Y.) sided with the committee's five Democrats in voting to release the report, two sources familiar with the matter told Axios."

Gaetz likes hookers and drugs. A hooker lies by omission about her age.

Anybody feel like they learned anything new?

Pointless, childish response.

Were ex-congressman Horndog to escape any real repercussion for his demonstrably tawdry behavior, it can only serve to normalize the behavior. Then again, the in-coming clown car is packed to the roof with degenerate bozos, so one more creepy-crawler just adds to Trump's cult circus.

You're not supposed to judge a book by it's cover, but he's always looked like a ---- that loves drugs & hookers. Bias confirmed.

I don't know how hooker etiquette works. Are you supposed to show you ID or something? One of you has to explain that one.

#19 | Posted by sitzkrieg at 2024-12-23 05:10 PM

The party of no shame and no ethics had, until a few days ago, been pushing to have this man installed as our nation's top law-enforcement official. For MAGA world, such indiscretions counted as qualifications for the job.

But please, tell me how co-Presidents Musk and Trump are working for the little guy. There is little doubt that this gang of thieves and idiots will be remembered for its arrogant corruption, ineptitude and contempt for America.

So you're admitting that all along you have been servicing Johns before they even get time to ask you for the going rate? Talk about inexcusable safety and protocol violations at the construction site.

I think I remember reading somewhere that ignorance of the law is no excuse, Sitz.

Learned more about you.
Unfortunately it wasn't good.

No but it's a nice reminder of how the republican party has followed trump into the gutter.

A consensual BJ used to infuriate you. Now drugs and underage hookers are no big deal.
