He almost turns me into a believer because it seems the only place these fuckers might face any consequences would be hell itself.
Gaetz was a congressperson when it all took place. That report is government property, AKA it belongs to all Americans.
Once again the wee widdle wanker warps reality for his Masters
They wouldn’t show restraint for a Democrat. These are empty words
They literally showed pictures of hunter bidens Wang on Cspan and he was a private citizen. So spare me the theater.
That’s DIFFERENT! That was a Private Citizens PENIS NOT Underage Sex Trafficking and Rape Testimonies! THOSE things are PRIVATE!
-Republicans who believe Pizzagate!
Yeah, pretty sure the report about Al Franken still got released despite him resigning months earlier.
He is Schrodingers citizen: both a public servant AND a private citizen whose waveform doesn’t collapse until the investigations begin.
What a feckless piece of shit

Except thats bullshit because house reports have been released after members resigned in the past.
Never believe that [fascists] are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The [fascists] have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.
In the future, I highly recommend sourcing to Wikiquote instead. It’s a sister project of Wikipedia which sources its quotes so they can be independently verified, whereas Goodreads just operates on an ad populum approach of upvotes. It also for this reason tends to be more robust to error, and many more prominent figures have specific sections both for popular quotes that are known to be misattributed and for ones that are dubious but not currently falsifiable.
Ok so how to handle it then
The correct answer to that question would be removed
Justice dies in silence.
Good question. Best answer is building robust communities that can reject them and not allow them to gain footholds. “Fuck off loser” gives them no room to twist anything
Or Biden releases it as a matter of national security? Dems have no balls.
Does Biden even have it? It was a house investigation.
Regardless, Dems have no balls.
Respect the norms!
If the report was exonerating, they’d release. Therefore, drawing the adverse inference: holy shit, trump nominated a child rapist to the justice department.
I saw a comment earlier I thought was interesting, this may be a way of forcing everyone to bend the knee, make them complicit
We all knows Gaetz is a kiddy diddler
Trump knew when we nominated him
Now everyone in congress knows. And they’ll allow it, because otherwise trump will turn on them
It’s funny and a bit ironic how far Mr. Jesus (Johnson) has fallen since he took office. Going out of his way to protect pedophiles and rapists like Gaetz and Trump and doing nothing but looking after the interests of how much money his boss is going to be making.
_Matthew 6:24
No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money._
A sitting representative just needs to read it into the Congressional Record.
Those checks and balances are just a myth at this point.
People in power should learn that these social contracts and norms are a peacekeeping measure and violating every single one isn’t a good way to keep the population peaceful.
Exactly. America was born as a nation because last time someone tried some bullshit like this we shot them all dead and moved out.
We’ve seen an awful lot of history repeating itself these days.
If they’re smart they’ll take the hint. But we all know how likely that is.
Always have been.
An extremely fragile democracy to say the least.
I can’t believe that this whole time it was just “please play by the rules” and that it was basically only enforced via tradition.
Literally the only thing required to take down the American Empire: some orange turd saying “nuh uh”
Not at all. Political enemies of the Trump clan will be checked and balanced at every turn.
Rules for thee but not for me.
Who is applying for a different government job.
As an alternative argument, that report almost certainly shows evidence of criminal wrongdoing, and it’d be weird to shield private citizens like that.
