Gaetz withdraws.


And so it starts....

reply

Enough about his sex life already.

reply

There will be plenty more if anything comes out... fortunately, though, he won't embarrass the US by being in public office.

reply

But I thought he pulled out in time?

What's the problem?

reply

No problem ... now that he has. Just rather embarrassing for Defendant Donald and puts his judgment in question again.

reply

Where's Andy or fourlemons when I need them.

reply

Unfortunately it is not just Gaetz. RFK has been forced to say just recently that he has 'no knowledge' when accused of groping a babysitter - but then added that he has "so many skeletons in my closet that if they could all vote, I could run for king of the world." That must be reassuring for Republicans to hear.

reply

Swoosh isn't just a marketing slogan.

reply

"Just rather embarrassing for Defendant Donald and puts his judgment in question again."

What desprate nonsense. Not like Biden and Harris have great track records of better judgement. They make Donald look like a stoic.

reply

What desprate (sic) nonsense.


Wanting to appoint a possible sex trafficker to high legal office was good judgment? At the end even Gaetz felt obliged to jump ship lol Now we just have the vaccine denier in charge of health who admits to plenty of "skeletons in the closet"

reply

"puts his judgment in question again"

Second verse, same as the first.

Say what you want about Trump, he gets his way more often than not, for better or for worse.

I think it was stupid to sent Vance to lobby senators to support Gaetz - There's only one senator younger than Vance, he's only been there 4 years... and it didn't work... I don't think these GOP senators would support Gaetz based on Gaetz's track record even WITHOUT the sex scandals... now we have J.D. on the record pushing for this 30-something creep "partying" with 18-year-old girls? (18 is legal but still cringy.) That's a FAIL by any measure.

reply

he gets his way more often than not, for better or for worse.


Sometimes though, as we saw with his first term he made promises he did not keep. Such a repealing the Affordable Care Act. More here:

https://prospect.org/politics/trumps-40-biggest-broken-promises/

reply

Of course. But it was more important to Trump to attack John McCain than to get what Trump promised his voters that Trump would do.

reply

Yes that was a low point, even for him.

reply

As an aside... who in his right mind names his baby girl "Ginger Luckey?" I'm sure she's the nicest person in the world, but why put that baggage on your kid?

With a last name like "Luckey" you need an old-school name like Barbara or Ethel...

Was the runner-up name "Lucille?"

When my wife was expecting our first daughter, one of the names was "Elize." (We were both big fans of The Cure and Elize in particular) I run it by my creepy brother and he immediately says "Elize the sleeze." Only time my brother ever helped me in any way shape or form...



reply

Ahem, Bill Clinton. We're getting really tired of pointing out liberal hypocrisy. It's become a full time job.

reply

The thread about current events, not ancient history. But if we are swopping ancient histories then what about Nixon and W G Bush...

reply

Your comment was about embarrassing people in office.

Ancient stories? You fucking people keep calling Trump a rapist because of that bullshit allegation from 30yrs ago. Another court case that won't survive appeal.

We already know the Bushes are pieces of shit.

reply

You fucking people


Oh dear.

keep calling Trump a rapist


https://19thnews.org/2023/10/donald-trump-associates-sexual-misconduct-allegations/

Perhaps you mean all those fucking women objecting to a man who loves to 'grab pussy'?

Another court case that won't survive appeal.


Now that Defendent Donald is back, one expects that he will either pardon himself or lots of court cases (eg the current 'hush money' one) will just go away, if that is what you mean

reply

You guys love to use the "grabbing pussy" debacle. Two guys talking shit, between themselves. Could be any two dudes, any where.

Funny how every time a republican or nominee is in the spotlight, democrats have no problem digging up women to say they did something. Only to find it proven false.

Defendant, only because of a bullshit political witch hunt. The 34 felony counts have already been eviscerated by the appeals court. They're all a sham but you ignorant fucks believe in it because you've been duped into hating Trump.

reply

Not with this dude, dude.

democrats have no problem digging up women to say they did something. Only to find it proven false.


Didn't read the link I provided with all the cases listed then, eh?

you ignorant fucks


Oh dear.

reply

No, I make it a habit not to click on links provided by liars.

Oh dear? Clutching your pearls? Sorry but I don't hold back on you shits. Tired of playing nice with people who lie and deceive.

reply

No, I make it a habit not to click on links provided by people who I disagree with


There, corrected it for you.

Clutching your pearls? Sorry but I don't hold back on you shits. Tired of playing nice with people who lie and deceive.


Ad hominems are not arguments,

And you still haven't provided any sources of your own and unfortunately have not stated your medical background. I wonder why?

Oh dear indeed.

reply

Yeah, I know you dummies lean heavily on the opinions of so-called experts because you can't think for yourself.

It's not ad hominem. You really are a dumbass and it's exceedingly difficult to have a debate with stupid people.

reply

Yeah ...lean heavily on the opinions of so-called experts because you can't think for yourself.


You still haven't provided any sources of your own.

It's not ad hominem. You really are a dumbass ... you dummies


You are attacking me and not what I say. QED.

reply

This is a conversation, an exchange of ideas between two people. Not an exchange of dueling links. If you can't have an actual conversation, fuck off.

No, I'm making an observation. You are a dumbass.

reply

No, I'm making an observation. You are a dumbass.


And my observation is that an ad hominem is still not an argument. And that you still haven't provided any sources of your own.


If you can't have an actual conversation, fuck off.


You took the words right out of my mouth.

reply

Quick lesson. If I call you a name because I disagree but do not have a counter argument, that is ad hominem. If I call you a dumbass because you're too intellectually stunted to have a debate with, that is an observation. If you cannot grasp the difference, you prove my point better than I ever could.

I am willing to have an argument with YOU but I'm not going to argue against points made by some third party who wrote an article published on the internet.

This is the primary disconnect that leftists seem to have. It's also a form of plagiarism. Learn to think for yourself, if it's not too late.

reply

Attacking the person and not what they say is an ad hominem defined as something"directed against a person rather than the position they are maintaining." . But I appreciate your need for semantics here.

I'm not going to argue against points made by some third party who wrote an article published on the internet. Learn to think for yourself, if it's not too late.


This assumes that one is always sufficient authority enough to make definitive statements. In our recent exchange over the efficacy of face masks however, it was apparent that you weren't. Thinking for myself about this, my conclusion is that your technique isn't working very well.

reply

Thanks for proving my point.

reply

Thank you for being so optimistic.

reply

Flimflam flayed again 🤣

reply

Of course he is, it's a Skav clone.

reply

Just another mindless leftist drone. They think they're smart but they're not even worth arguing with.

reply

And yet here you are again...still making insulting 'observations' lol

reply

I can do this as long as you're a dumbass.

reply

Well that's all from me on this exchange then as you seem to have exhausted even your repertoire of insults. Have a nice day, Craig.

reply

"W G Bush"

What does this mean? I know some columnist referred to George W. Bush as "Little Boots" in reference to the insane Roman Emperor Caligula.

reply

Sorry, I inverted the initials lol. My error. Being UK I was probably thinking of W G Grace.

reply

MTG is going to be mad. Then again, she’s always mad.

reply

She's a honey badger.

reply

Thats a compliment.

reply

Except now it looks like someone even better took over, and its a woman too. Any attacks towards her could be seen as sexist and misogynistic.

reply

The new pick certainly is an improvement. Mind you, that would not be difficult..

reply

He has a female Chief of Staff too. Now let's suppose he went with an all male administration?? He'd be buried for it, so in essence, he can't win with liberals or anyone on the left for that matter, so fuck em

reply

A shame now that the new pick has a doubtful record over her association with an investigation into Trump University lol

reply

You people are going to find fault with every pick, for whatever reason you can contrive, real or imagined. It's what you do. We really don't care.

You love links, Google what Theodore Roosevelt said about critics.

reply

It is not hard to find fault with many of Trump's pics especially most of them appear to be TV and Radio personalities more than experts in their field, and Trump has apparently declined to (as would usually been the case) to use the FBI to check on their pasts before appointing them.

https://apnews.com/article/trump-fbi-gaetz-congress-background-vetting-cabinet-ac9afcd41d598a62ae34442ecf96a652

He has only himself to blame. But as I have said before, away from the US this is leading to great schadenfreude and entertainment.

We really don't care.


And yet, here you are...

reply

Again, nothing but regurgitation of propaganda.

So because Hegseth is on Fox News he's a "TV personality" rather than a 20yr military veteran with two bronze stars?

I don't need to give a shit what you think to argue with your dumb ass.

reply

So because Hegseth is on Fox News he's a "TV personality"


Yes, although I am happy to accept at least he has more relevant experience than some others that Convicted Felon Elect has appointed. (I did say 'most'.)


rather than a 20yr military veteran with two bronze stars?


Not just that. Hegseth was one of 12 national guardsmen flagged as a potential insider threat and removed from the group providing security for the presidential inauguration of Joe Biden. A woman has also lately sent a memo to Trump's transition team about a 2017 sexual assault allegation against Hegseth when apparently, like his mentor Trump, he paid his accuser off. Several senators subsequently expressed concern. Hegseth has also defended the rioters who attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, calling them patriots.

On 29 November 2024, The New York Times published an article which includes an email allegedly written by Hegseth's mother which states "You are an abuser of women — that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth." One imagines she would best placed to know.

Yep, a good choice Donald lol...


I don't need to give a shit what you think to argue with your dumb ass.


I am sorry you don't don't give a shit, Others are more considered. And you are still here.

reply

Another career ruined by The Dick.

reply

It was for the Best. The man was nothing but baggage holding back a pretty good transition team so far

reply

Funny thing is he won't run again for senate. That means the findings must be damning and he doesn't want it released.

reply

The Leftist mobs assumed guilt from the beginning. It didn't matter that he had never been found guilty of anything.

Ironic too since the Leftists are the perverts and pedophiles in America.

reply

Leftist mobs assumed guilt from the beginning.


The scandals emerging from the leaked (but still suppressed) report appear more than imagined wrong doing.

reply

And so it starts....

Yep, crying Leftists desperately scraping the barrel for a win after their humiliating defeat by Trump… ‘starts’ 😆🍻

reply

I don't think Gaetz felt the accusations were so trivial. He resigned.

reply

That’s it… keep scraping… 🤣

reply

Evasion noted. See you on the next thread.

reply

Why did you stop scraping..?

reply

I reached the bottom of your barrel of course. Have a nice day.

reply

Aw Flimflam come back, you started this desperate scraping thread, don’t run away now…
