General John Kelly: "He said that, in his opinion, Mr. Trump met the definition of a fascist, would govern like a dictator if allowed, and had no understanding of the Constitution or the concept of rule of law."

“GOP House Ethics Committee Members Vote To Coverup Gaetz Investigation.”


 If Gaetz were innocent of all allegations in the investigation, the Ethics Committee would have blasted that information out to the public..

This is a coverup for the man who will head the Department of Justice.

One of the first things a totalitarian leader does is take over the independent justice system and install weak men/women who will do his bidding.

It IS happening here.



House Ethics Ranking Member Susan Wild (D-PA) on Gaetz deliberations: 

 “It has come to my attention that the chairman [Michael Guest] has since betrayed the process…and he has implied that there was an agreement of the committee not to disclose the report… That is inaccurate.”






When I said Trump would drag this country into the sewer, I wasn't exaggerating or being overwrought. 

I was telling the truth.




 "It should be emphasized just how obscene the Gaetz nom is. He's unqualified, unfit, & was recently investigated for sex trafficking. He faces accusations of paying for sex & sexual misconduct w/ a minor. That there's even a chance he gets confirmed as the top law enforcement official is shameful." --Aaron Rupar

If Matt Gaetz DIDNT rape a minor, the GOP would have released the report.

Transparency will most certainly be a thing of the past in the trumpublican party.

Les Carpenter said...

State rum media is likely just around the corner.

Is anyone in Trump’s incoming administration not a sex trafficker, rapist or pedophile?

No lies detected Shaw. Thinking of you a lot. Hoping all is well.

I believe what just gets me riled up the most is the thought of all the crap spewed at the LGBTQI+ community for decades, how the pearls were clutched, the cries of won't we think of the children... and when the 'moral majority' had a change to vote their stated morality they chose the party of rapists and child molesters. I just can't with the hypocrisy.

Think of this: The man who will be sworn into office on Jan. 20 at noon has been adjudicated a sexual assaulter/rapist and is a convicted felon, his wife is a former soft porn model who never graduated from university (she lied about doing so), and yet received an Einstein VISA! His choice for AG has been under investigation by his own party for underage trafficking of minor girls; his choice for Defense Secretary is a FAUX NOOZ entertainer; his choice for the head of HHS is an anti--vaxxer who is on video stating that "no vaccines are safe." And he's given free reign to the world's richest oligarch to establish a new agency to upend and destroy anything he and his friend, Ramaswamy wish to get rid of.

Plus, we're learning that Trump lied about having nothing to do with P2025. (SURPRISE! SURPRISE!) He is appointing most of the architects of that project to positions in his regime.

The people of this country who voted for the coming destruction of American democracy deserve what they get, "good and hard."

Les Carpenter said...

The real problem is those not showing the "proper" fealty to You Know Who and the authoritarian con agenda will get it "the hardest".

America becomes Amerika, 2025. The rise of American Fascism will be entering the completion stage and may very well be irreversible.

Shaw Kenawe said...

The "moral majority" is not moral nor is it a majority. The people who support Trump support a man of low morals and a conniving liar. That is what they wanted in their leader, and that is what they deserve.

We just have to go to the mattresses for the next four years. There does exist some other avenues, which I will not discuss here.

I hope you live in an enlightened state -- a blue state-- for your safety.

Here's another example of the rank hypocrisy of pro-fascist Trumpublicans:


Josh Hawley Says Trump ‘Is Entitled to His Cabinet’ After He Voted Against Every Biden Cabinet Nominee

Dave Miller said...

Regarding Trump's Cabinet in general and the Gaetz nomination specifically...

Whether or not the Gaetz report is made public by the sycophant leaders of the House, Gaetz is doomed. The Dems will have the right to call character witnesses at any confirmation hearing and you can bet they will call the previously 17 year old girl with whom Gaetz is alleged to have paid for sex.

Then she will testify in person and all the payment records between Gaetz and her, which are now in the public record per CNN and the NY Times, will also be made public.

Now I know there are fever dreams among the MAGA people and double standard folks like Fist Pump at an Insurrection Hawley for recess appts, but there are not enough votes in the House among the GOP to adjourn and make that happen.

All of this could have been avoided had Trump simply used the FBI, as all previous incoming presidents have, to vet his/her nominees.

But of course, Trump believes an election win gives him a kingly right to have whomever he wants in his administration. He refuses to accept that while the American people do elect our presidents, we also elect another group of people to insure we have a check on a president's power.

Dave Dubya said...

Trump's first administration was packed with criminals. So it shouldn't be surprising his next one will be far worse.

BB-Idaho said...

Gaetz withdrew his nomination. Nicest thing he's ever done.

Les Carpenter said...

The next will beGaetz light without the barge of baggage Gaetz carried with him.

Whomever it is the effective results of the new pick will essentially be the same.

Same agenda. Prettier "face" is all.
