U.S. Politics, November 2024: GARBAGE DAY!!

xp

that would be the smart move, it is very lolsome that he resigned from congress because of this

Cemetery Gaetz

It worked out for everyone. He got to resign “for a job” instead of “because my pedo proclivities were about to be written down in an official report,” Trump threw a bone to a loyal soldier, they think the libs were owned etc.

is gaetz allowed to run in his own special election to get his seat back? lol

That’s kind of a bummer, was hoping he would waste a lot of time in the confirmation fight.

Win win win, only missing the final win of Gaetz tripping and falling head first into a woodchipper.

isn't this how it was gonna play out all along?

Gaetz was probably a nominee Trump thought he could get through if Rick Scott became Majority Leader.

Gaetz congressional ethics report was never officially released and the Justice Department never brought charges against him unfortunately though

Well, he's no longer in Congress and he won't be the AG - I consider this a net win, regardless of what's in that report

Time to shift focus to tanking the other cabinet picks.

already on it

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. (AP) — A woman told police that she was sexually assaulted in 2017 by Pete Hegseth after he took her phone, blocked the door to a California hotel room and refused to let her leave, according to a detailed investigative report made public late Wednesday.

yeah the hesgeth thing is pretty bad. Additionally, Linda McMahon is being sued for facilitating sexual abuse of children at the WWE now. I think both of them are dead in the water.

maybe we just pay her a little something until this whole 'me too' thing blows over

the lawyer said he was fearful that the woman was poised to make an allegation against him during the #MeToo movement that might have cost him his job as a Fox News host

This story is bananas

Hegseth is next and then Trump is left w/his political capital to spend on RFK. not gonna happen.

Never fails to amuse me how all these conservative activist GOP goons (Hegseth, Vance, etc.) spend so much time in California hippy towns only to portray themselves as heartland rustbelt heroes.

cf how they're all ivy league postgrads who decry higher education, family value activists with 3-4 failed marriages, christians who murder innocents abroad, etc.

hippy towns are creepy man

I missed that Trump nominated as deputy attorney general the lawyer who represented him in his felony trial.

why can't a general attorney be attorney general?

They've information civil, constitutional, and criminal

cf how they're all ivy league postgrads who decry higher education

our union line on this is "they're not telling their kids not to go to college, only yours"

xp - lol Neando

The Dickado

so Gaetz can re-enter Congress in January, since he was reelected... but then the ethics investigation will be immediately restarted
what will he do?

not hopium, probably not him

oops wrong one

love that he says 'calm down' when he was the one that broke the report.

CALM DOWN, PEOPLE.

Per a transition source and @SecretService, the ambulances were part of Vice President-elect @JDVance’s motorcade.

False alarm.

Go about your business. https://t.co/SJCiLIHnPj

Feinberg, gfy crusher of dreams.

Why would ambulances be part of his motorcade, is my question.

"Gotta get this couch looked at, pronto!"

Thiel loaned them a couple of blood boys, ambulances are for transport.

lol, was wondering that. and, no intention to get conspiracy minded here but of course they'd try to dial down concerns while things are still so in flux.

LET ME DREAM

Funnier, really. Not better but funnier.

wasted my year's worth of prayer

Ambulances in a motorcade!? What next, firetrucks and logging trucks?

MAKE WAY FOR APPALACIA MAN.
