dola

Pretty obvious Trump thinks teachers are women so a woman gets Dept. of Ed.

She hired a child molester under the promise that he not do it anymore. Move over neocons, we got pedocons in charge now.


Pizzagate is dumb but Bill Clinton is definitely a pedophile.

Disturbing story but probably fast tracks the guy for a position in the administration.

County commissioner’s daughter steps forward as the woman he sexually assaulted in Las Vegas - Indianapolis News | Indiana Weather | Indiana Traffic | WISH-TV |

Same county just fired a deputy prosecutor for making political posts on Facebook. Said the prosecutors office has to remain politically neutral. The prosecutor is an elected Republican white man. He fired a female democrat.

Which position in the cabinet did Trump offer him?

I forgot about the ring boys scandal that McMahon is currently being sued over.

dola

Elon and Vivek are now saying that Trump will say that the executive is not forced to spend any money allocated by congress. Congress can set a max, but they can't force the executive to spend anything. This has previously been litigated, but who knows how SCOTUS will rule today.

It would basically give the President a line-item veto over everything in the federal budget.

NYT got some of the dirt on Gaetz. Garland really was a sniveling coward.

Wish there wasn't a paywall.

He paid a bunch of women, including minors. Those women say it was for sex. He even used his "adopted son"'s Paypal to send some money to one of the girls. Just a straight up pedophile and child molester.

I know Trump doesn't like to admit he was wrong, but he also doesn't like to lose. Will be interesting to see if he pulls the nomination or lets it ride. I suspect a lot more things are going to come out.

My bet is he let's it ride, and he is going to force confirmation through if the Senate doesn't approve him. I don't think he has any intention of surrendering on anything.

Proof?

Well if he promotes a pedophile, that makes him a pedo-pal.

The fact he was close friends with Jeffeey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell for decades and traveled around the world together on the lolita express. I think we can do the math on that one.

Nobody told me there would be math!

Police report on Hegseth.

Just a moment...

He's obviously a garbage human but at least I chuckled on this section.

"Police spoke with a staffer at the front desk of the hotel who said that around 1:30 a.m. that night he received multiple complaints about a couple causing a disturbance by the pool. There, he found Doe and Hegseth, who “began to curse” when he tried to speak with them, according to the police report.

Hegseth told the hotel worker he had “freedom of speech” while Jane Doe told the worker they were Republicans and apologized for Hegseth, the worker said."

Now I see why people like him on Fox are so relatable to their audience. They have similar understandings of the application of laws/Constitutional provisions to their actions and are just as annoying/insufferable to be around.

Delta CEO says Trump administration will reverse government 'overreach' | AP News

And at the same time, at its Investor Day, Delta was pretty open about its plans to segment business class the same way they've done economy, and to increase the use of AI to individualize pricing based on what AI determines you will pay versus another customer, AND to keep decreasing the number of free upgrades they give for medallion members. All while making it harder to achieve status!

I've been in the Delta ecosystem for nearly 30 years and I'm pretty loyal, but I feel like they are asking to be knocked down a peg. I'll make Platinum again this year thanks to the final rollover conversion they are allowing after last year's program change rollout debacle, but I probably won't advance much past Silver Medallion for 2026. There's no way I'm going to continue putting the spend necessary to achieve Delta status on its cards when AmEx and Chase points are worth so much more.

It's funny that a guy who Epstein spoke of as [my], "closest friend for 10 years," is nominating so many pedophiles and sex criminals for his cabinet. You can tell alot about a person by the company they keep.

you guys are killing me

Never knew about that site, pretty cool

Hmmm, what happens now? Can he not resign, rescind his resignation?

and Gaetz drops out.

There had to be some back room deal made where they bury the ethics report in exchange for him dropping out.

If only we had an AG with balls...

It must have been really bad. Let's hope it all still comes out.

I guess I was wrong. Whatever it is, it must be really bad for Gaetz to back off. As for reminding his resignation, no. Because if he is congress, then the ethics complaint revives. He can't go back and keep that report sealed. I don't see where he can go from here. Probably Fox.

Everything Trump touches dies.

Could be a move to put Gaetz in the upcoming Senate vacancy.

As long as someone else with the wherewithal to do the jobs that badly need doing ends up AG, I'm good with the tradeoff.

Eh.

Doesn't DeSantis want that seat when his term is up? I suspect he wouldn't put Gaetz there is that was the case.

I suspect Gaetz is done. That report has to be really bad given the way this all went down.

Jean Carrol is still alive.

I know everyone was focused on the House report, but couldn't the Senate have just called the exact same witnesses at his confirmation hearing? The womens' attorney has already publicly stated what they told the House committee. I don't think he was going to escape this just because the House refused to release the report.

I kinda thought maybe he agreed to be the patsy/red herring to take attention away from other pretty bad nominees, but I don't think so, for one reason - this makes Trump look weak, and there's no way he would stand for that. Even if it meant, ultimately, he'd be in a stronger position after the fact.

I suspect they just knew they wouldn't have the numbers, which has to make Trump absolutely furious and gives me at least a semblance the worst of the worst, Kash Patel, etc... won't get through.

It looks like part of the ethics report leaked and there was evidence he paid the 17-year old a 2nd time for sex in 2017. They called Gaetz for comment and he dropped out 30 minutes later.

The way MTG was freaking out about this getting released tells me the report is really bad. I mean his friend is already in prison over it and they have receipts from him paying these girls.

Don't see him coming back from this for awhile. DeSantis has made his entire identity about the groomer stuff and it would be pretty wild if he appointed a literal pedophile for the Senate seat he wants in a couple years. Rumors on that seat have always been he'll appoint someone on his staff and then run when his terms up. That is unless Trump demands a family member gets it.

Definitely hurts Trump. I don't think Senate had the stomach to fight battles for each unqualified nominee. So one less shifts attention to someone like Hegseth, Tulsi, or RFK.

Maybe the first thing I agree with MTG on is releasing ethics reports publicly. Yes. Let's see them all.

You gotta hope this puts some pressure on the Hegseth nomination given the allegations are both sex-related. Under-aged vs sex assault - which is less offensive, Senator?

She was only willing to release the sex pest records if her pedophile friend's record got released. She doesn't really care about that stuff.

Sure, but the underlying idea of release all ethics reports is good. Release the one for Gaetz and then release all the rest.

I took her statement as a pretty savvy way of putting pressure on people to not release Gaetz's report while appearing to support release of all reports, because she knew that no one would actually want to do that.

Appear to publicly support full disclosure by ensuring no one would disclose anything.

Absolutely. I just think it was a cynical statement to protect her pedophile friend. Those ethics reports will never see the light of day. The only reason this one is being leaked is because Gaetz made so many enemies in his own party.

And here is your crypto bailout. Lets spend our tax dollars on some imaginary coins.




Pathetic but expected shit from the Dems. Just remember it next time they try to tell you to vote for them because the courts matter. They don't care.
