Women? Or underage girls?

And if this was to keep them quiet, he sure learned a lot from his dear Leader didn't he

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.

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.

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?

[-] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

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.

[-] fluxion@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago

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.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

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.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
