Why is it not bigger news that MTG is openly stating that the only reason any of these people are in power is because they have paid off all their victims and buried all the bodies. This is a verbal admission that she knows the entire GOP is filled with sex offenders, and the only reason they aren't in jail is that they all cover for each other.

Fucking do it. Release it all. Don't just threaten me with a good time. The people deserve to know exactly how morally bankrupt their representatives are. Not that you even need to see the evidence to know, which these blatant admissions, that they are morally bankrupt.

If she were my representative, me and all my friends would be contacting her office and blowing up her social media daily to name names.

As I understand it, the GOP have released ethic inquiry reports on Democrats who had already left the house on at least two recent occasions.

They showed pictures of Hunter Biden's cock, and he's not even a government employee.

Yes.. all the ethics reports and claims including the one I filed, all your sexual harassment and assault claims that were secretly settled paying off victims with tax payer money, the entire Jeffrey Epstein files, tapes, recordings, witness interviews but not just those, there’s more, Epstein wasn’t/isn’t the only asset. If we’re going to dance, let’s all dance in the sunlight,” she wrote.

I don't like agreeing with her

[-] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

On this topic I do. I hope she continues to fixate on this, as she tends to do with other topics. She’ll either get enough momentum to get a leak or two, or she’ll wake up dead one day. It’s a win/win.

[-] prole 2 points 5 hours ago

Oh no. Anyway.

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 hours ago

I never thought I'd find myself agreeing with this crazy fucker, but she seems to be saying this as if releasing all this info would somehow be bad?

[-] fluxion@lemmy.world 17 points 12 hours ago

Lol...yah someone please call her bluff. Epstein seems to have a lot to say about Mr. President-elect

So she's trying to pull a Madison Cawthorn 2.0. She might wanna consider how well that worked out for him.

With that being said, does this really make sense?

She's either lying through her teeth, or Madison Cawthorn was right all along. I'd say the odds here are about 50/50.

But let's say she's right (I know, I know, bear with me....)......doesn't that just mean that she knows that the GOP are full of the same "groomers" that she has been crusading against for years? And that she's OK with it, so long as she can use it for political capital? I mean, I get it......pride in the hypocrisy and all that. But how in the name of Jesus' favorite camel does this make her look good? At all? At best, it means she's complicit in allowing what would literally be the most powerful pedo ring on the fucking planet to continue to exist, and is perfectly fine with keeping that information from the public as long as it's in her political best interest or she can use it to advance her own political career.

And that is her in the best possible light. It only gets worse from there. I just don't see how this is anywhere close to being beneficial for her unless she's got the goods. And if she's got the goods, I have about a hundred million more questions.

[-] just_another_person@lemmy.world 24 points 15 hours ago

She's also insane, so that's not working in her favor.

[-] Bookmeat@lemmy.world 9 points 15 hours ago

They've all got compromat. So they all shut up.

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 9 points 15 hours ago

We're gonna get mafia behavior for a while now

[-] prole 5 points 5 hours ago

No, we are getting fascist behavior for the foreseeable future.

It's much worse than Mafia, though I guess I can't expect a population who doesn't read to have as much context for a word like "fascism"

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 hours ago

Tomato, Tomato. Mafia can almost be described as micro fascism. We're going to become crony capitalism Russia type flavor of authoritarianism.

Is the warning about inadvertently seeing something you don't want to see while looking into Matt Gaetz's past?
