      The leaks have started.

      Two credible witnesses stated to the panel they saw Gaetz fuck a kid.

        But don’t say - or imply - that he’s a kid-fucker, because, they were 17 or something? I’m still not understanding that argument…

      Along the same lines, "we’ve investigated ourselves and our allies and we cannot allow the report to see the light of day ".

    I love how he throws up the excuse, “…that is not the way we do things in the House,…” as tho’ propriety or social or even governmental norms mean anything whatsoever to him or the rest of the GOP.

    And then this reversal after nearly 24 hours go by, "Johnson’s comments also mark a reversal after he said on Thursday, “the speaker is not involved with what happens in ethics. Lots of important reasons for that.”Johnson’s comments also mark a reversal after he said on Thursday, “the speaker is not involved with what happens in ethics. Lots of important reasons for that.”

      Only needs to “make sense” in the moment. And only to certain people. Everyone else can get fucked. And don’t be bringing up my past statements! (these are not my own personal beliefs)

      Of note is that he had a sit-down with Dear Leader before that 180 on “…the speaker is not involved with what happens in ethics. Lots of important reasons for that.”

      Next up: Congress and/or the Supreme Court overturns the Freedom of Information Act on the grounds it compromises national security and hurts their feelings.

Rules:

  1. 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.

  3. 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.
