Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Im sure that means his career is over, right?
Correct!
He's been promoted to a different career.
Trumpisms Peter Principle.
I think the Peter Principle is supposed to freeze you in the first job you're unsuited for, not just keep pushing you upward.
"When you're a star, they let you do it"
The Republican party, and a shocking number of people in general, are perfectly fine with whatever. They don't actually have any kind of genuine moral or ethical system. I feel like such a fucking old man now talking like this but goddamn is it gross that a guy who paid children for sex is going to be the Attorney General, that is not how it worked when I grew up. I mean, it was how it worked but if you got caught that was it. Everyone shunned you and your career in public service was over, you had to go work as a lobbyist or sit on some corporate boards and keep your head down.
I mean, it might make it ever so slightly harder for him to be confirmed by the Senate...maybe?
Yup. He’s finished in politics. Time for life as an attorney. Zero experience necessary.
Lol isn't venmo that social network that makes all your payments public?
What a dumbass. Quick, check if he bought cocaine on it too
If Trump is going to appoint a pedo, can he at least find one someone who worked more than 2 years as a ~~legal secretary~~ associate attorney?
This guy is a career politician, not an attorney.
Trump WANTS the highest level of law enforcement to be political.
He also wrote a check with a memo that said “tuition reimbursement.” Just pisspoor criminality. Even high school weed dealers know not to leave a paper trail and use cash. (Or maybe whatever anonymous cryptocurrency the dark web uses nowadays. I haven’t talked to a high school weed dealer since I was in high school many moons ago. You could tell me kids buy weed with Roblox Buxx and I’d believe you.)
Cash is always king.
Women? Or underage girls?
And if this was to keep them quiet, he sure learned a lot from his dear Leader didn't he
He fucked the underaged girls and paid off the of-age witnesses. Seems he doesn't have an interest in fucking people over 17
The Venmo records show that between July 2017 and late January 2019, Gaetz -- who was first elected in 2016 -- allegedly made 27 Venmo payments totaling $10,224.02 to the two witnesses, who were over the age of 18 at the time.
People on the internet: well he was never indicted and convicted so we should let it all go
Me: so what was all that money for? Braces?
He has too much money to be held accountable. People with that much money only get held accountable if their crime is against others with that much money.
William Barr said there was no wrongdoing. And he's a paragon of virtue. Absolutely no problematic connections to pedophiles whatsoever.
$420 “Joy” is a fun payment.
These were supposedly payments for innocent things like school and supplies. Gaetz just gets a lot if joy from people learning and living humble decent lives.
There's probably a surcharge for dealing with the forehead.
No one opposes The Thumb!
