The fact that he had sexual relations with the same minor, is not disputed, as far as I am aware.

The ethics committee and House Republicans are still investigating him and were supposed to release a report in a couple of days, which is why he quit.

You're defending pedophilia to own the libs. Seek help.

Nope, I didn't see anything that confirmed he had had sex with her, just allegations of having sex along with the sex trafficking allegation.

If it was Starmer or any Labour figure you’d be ripping your eyes out with rage. Or indeed any democrat figure

Unbelievable shape shifting

Estimates of potentially more than 30 out of 54 Senate Republicans voting not to confirm him is absolutely crazy if true.

And extremely sad. I feel terrible that Trump's own party members all have TDS.

You 2 are so desperate for clout you will cling on to anything !!

Mate, when people are accused of doing something that doesn't mean they did it !! Accusations mean f**k all. If the accusations had weight behind them a date in court would be arranged and the details of the case discussed. The fact that it didn't even get to court tells me they were spurious accusations at best !

If Starmer was accused of something meaty I would throw it in your face - absolutely - but I wouldn't treat the accusation as a factual event. And if I would have rage because someone was accused of something. I know too well that things are not always what they seem.

Who cares if he is an anti vaxxer, he isn't going to bring in legislation to force people to not take vaccines, he will give people the choice as opposed to forcing people to do what they don't want to do, some call it treating adults like adults !

You are still not getting it.

Trump does not need the Senate to appoint Gaetz - as long as the Republican led Senate 'allows' recess appointments.
Recess appointments are Constitutionally allowed and can only be stopped if the Senate actively put in place measures to ensure the Senate has no time off at all.
Recess appointments have been used all through the history of the US.
An appointment via recess can stay in position until the end of each 2 year Senate period - so Gaetz could be installed for nearly 2 years if the appointment is made in recess.

The Senate leader, Thune, has already said he will allow Recess appointments if the Democrats try to do what they did in 2017 - slow walk all confirmations.

Gaetz could well be just the stick to make sure Democrats comply with fast confirmations and do as they are told.
Genius, really.

I rather suspect, though, that Gaetz will be appointed via recess and he will be tasked with holding to account all those people who have corrupted the justice system over the last 4 years. Much needed to restore the US judicial system to the principles of blind justice.

You need to understand that there is going to be no compromise with the loony woke TDS sufferers.
You'll get another chance to turn the world to shit in 2028, but until then, no one is listening to your crap.

You’re just blustering now. You know your appalling double standards are a fkin joke and you can’t bring yourself to just say that you don’t care because it’s your guy. You’re partying with a cohort of sex offenders and nut jobs…..but just so long as they upset the liberals you just don’t care.

Following Jack Smith's request to abandon upcoming hearings into his Jan 6th lawfare, he has now asked the courts to suspend his appeal against the Documents case he brought.
Looks like the end of the road for the lawfare by the Biden/Harris regime.

That leaves the conviction in the NY Kangaroo court to be addressed and the ridiculous Georgia case.
Both are likely to fall away.

Post that, those involved in the lawfare - DA's, Justice Dept personnel and corrupt Judges need to be investigated and held to account.
Hopefully, that will be Gaetz's first order of business as Attorney General

It is also looking like the Civil case in NY is in trouble and the ruling could well be overturned on appeal.

That would just leave the case of the nutcase woman with rape fantasies that got an $80m ruling with absolutely no evidence to support her claims of molestation. Needs to be quashed.

By the way, not that I am in any way defending old men who go after 17 year olds, but I think you should know that a paedophile is someone with an interest in pre-pubescent children. A big difference, I'd suggest.

Plus....on the basis that people are getting chucked in jail for stuff written on social media, you probably need to be careful who you are calling a paedo!

Jay, just curious but is there a third party news source you would trust to give you an objective view on Trump and his policies? Like, is there a single source for journalism that you would listen to if they had something negative to report on him or his cabinet or his legislation?

Virtually every single ruling party in the world lost or suffered in elections this year and it has to do with post-COVID worldwide inflation.

There is no need to listen to media sources biased either way and talking shite about the other side.

The policy positions are aimed at focusing on some clear areas and you can get them directly from the source.
Whether they achieve the outcomes will also be clear - but these outcomes are what was voted for.

Accusations of Fascism, Hitler, rapist, paedo etc are completely irrelevant and nothing more then political smearing and hackery.

Border security , reducing inflation, less dying in wars, cleaning up corruption, focus on health, slashing govt bloat and reigning in censorship.

That's it.

Agreeing or disagreeing with those desired outcomes is one thing - but those that persist in the tired tactics of political smearing are just surplus to requirements in any meaningful discussion. Unfortunately, that is what the media has become.

Outcomes will either be achieved or not - that is what is important to look at and you don't need the media to get the answer.

Trump and his selected team have earned the mandate to achieve these things how they see fit - as long as those methods are within the boundaries of the laws currently on the books.
