I didn't realize how much evidence there was against Matt Gaetz even though he wasn't charged. His close friend was convicted of sex trafficking and organizing Epstein/Diddy type sex and drug parties that he says Gaetz was also involved in.
There are even Venmo records of Gaetz sending money to his friend who was convicted with the names of specific teenage girls saying the money is for "school." This is who Trump wants to put in charge of the entire justice system.
- Trump did this kind of thing in 2016. he picked the least qualified person for each cabinet position in order to dismantle those gov't. services.CyBrainX
- This is way beyond unqualified...but yeah aside from the alleged sex trafficking of minors Gaetz has very little legal experience.yuekit

"Federal investigators have established a web of payments among Matt Gaetz and dozens of friends and associates who are said to have taken part with him in drug-fueled sex parties, according to a document obtained by The New York Times...payments to the women ultimately totaled around $10,000."
- I thought it was us on the left who liked drug-fueled sex parties!nb
- kinda surprising this wasn't all over the news until he was suggested for AG.monNom
- This has been mentioned on here multiple times. Gaetz just denied it ledge style. He did mention dating a 17 year old on Tucker Carlton’s showPhanLo

- Aaaaand he’s gone.monNom
- Just a few hours ago Trump supporters were saying it was all made up and doing everything possible to make a guy who trafficked underage girls Attorney General.yuekit
- Maybe there's a lesson in there somewhere.yuekit

I saw someone make a good point on Twitter this morning. Republicans love to rail against DEI and claim it encourages the hiring of unqualified people simply because they're a minority.
Yet here's Trump picking almost an entire stable of white people for his cabinet, several of them entirely unqualified for the positions he's naming them for.
So what do you call the almost exclusive hiring of unqualified people simply because they're white?

again...
lol@ Matt Gaetz!!!
- He's pulling out?fooler
- https://www.cnbc.com…PonyBoy
- didn't he also resign from the house? Does that mean he's going away ?robotinc
- He's going back to Roblox land with his weird square headPhanLo
- Yeah he already resigned lol. Maybe Trump will appoint him to some other lower profile position.yuekit
- @Phan Fitting, Roblox does have that insane Nazi underbelly.garbage
- lol @fooleraliastime
- Chatter that DeSantis might name him Senator to replace Rubio. Which would be a less stupid choice than Lara Trump, but no less ridiculous.mg33
- This is in the same vein as Scaramucci. Hilarious stuff.Continuity
- yuekit5
lmao...that was really an unforced error by Trump. I'm sure whoever he picks as a replacement will be equally terrible but at least it kills the idea that Trump can get away with anything or that the GOP will always cave to him.
- nb1
I’m sure most of the appointees will be fired before trump is even sworn in. Take a break from politics and come back in January. Nothing is going to happen til then
- Biden might have passed away for all I know. Haven’t heard a thing about him since before Election Daynb
- Was that humor?canoe
- Trump is 78! Who knows how many McDonalds meals he has left in him.fooler
- How many will be in prison?monospaced
- Humor? No didn’t mean to be funny lolnb
- nb6
Trump dying of natural* causes before he gets sworn in would be just the perfect cherry on top of this shit sundae.
*eg. choking on a bite of a Big Mac

Just watch, trump will be like carter as live to his 100s...

I wonder how much of what we’re seeing is a shifting of wealth and power from the high tax northern cities to the lower tax south. Are Florida/Texas the new centers of power in the US? replacing New York and California?
Lots of wall street moving to Florida. Lots of tech moving to Texas. Trump based in maralago. Picking Floridians in his cabinet... is this a trend?
- Most senior citizens move from nyc to Florida. Trump is Morty Seinfeldnb
- Trump lives in Florida... he knows people there... he likes to hire people he knows.yuekit
- I don't think it's much more complicated than that. His choice for deputy AG was his own personal defense lawyer.yuekit
- Trump's decision to reside in Florida was based on having more legal problems in NY. They were on the brink of jailing him until Merchan pulled a Mueller.CyBrainX
- George W Bush promoted White House counsel to AG after he broke a constitutional law or whatevernb
- Long history of corruption and favors in the White House.nb

"Gaetz will be our...Hammer of Justice"
I'm sure Elon Musk is really smart but hanging around with Trump and constantly consuming trash right-wing media has got to lower your IQ by some measurable amount.
- Elon isn't stupid, just unethical.
He understands Trump operates via quid pro quo, and is busy gargling his balls...robotinc - ... so he'll continue to get massive federal contracts, and any agency critical of his businesses will be redirected.robotinc
- Elon is embarrassingly immature. It's no wonder he and Trump are so into each other.mg33
- This idiot used to be actually inspiring at some point but he went full MAGA now and he's lost.
< he is worst than Donald nowgrafician - Donald will get fed up soon and turn on him in 3...2...grafician
- Remember last time Trump was unhinged, eating Mcdonalds and tweeting wildy - well Elon is at that stage nowgrafician
- Elon has become everything the right is against as long as it's named George Soros. But if it's named Elon, GAME ON.mg33
- Musk is a fucking clown. Dredd took the Long Walk after A Letter... / Kraken because he could no longer support the system he was created to uphold.face_melter
- Elon isn't stupid, just unethical.

The Architects of Bidenomics Are in Denial
Solid article, if biased because obvs WSJ. Also it overestimates how aware voters are of complex concepts in macroeconomics.
Ignore those two big shortcomings, and it’s a good short opinion piece.
- You need at least 100 IQ to even start on macro or geopoliticsgrafician
- My pet theory is you're stuck with the worldview you have at around 25 yo and you will filter everything after thru that viewgrafician
- anyway so they will lower rates, inflation will jump again and Trump will blame it on Biden again until midtermsgrafician
- You’re def wrong about the 25 thingnb
- Today’s boomers are yesterday’s hippies. Total 180nb
- Yeah, thinking about the good ol' days and everybody fooling them with everything from voting to scamsgrafician
- And communism right? Ugh, what a SCAM! Those boomers right?monospaced

Donald Trump has said he will levy tariffs of 25 per cent on all imports from Canada and Mexico, and an extra 10 per cent on Chinese goods, accusing the countries of permitting illegal immigration and drug trafficking.
“This Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country!” the president-elect wrote.
- 25 is a good number. nice and round. let's go with 25. done.scruffics
- I'm just glad we're finally getting tough on Canada...it's time to take the gloves off.yuekit
- Tough how? We pay the tariffs not the exporter.monospaced
- It obviously hurts the exporter too right? Imagine you could only sell your services at a 25% markup.yuekit
- But I was kidding...literally no one thinks we need to retaliate against Canada except for Trump.yuekit
- It hurts everyone I suppose.monospaced
- The irony is some Canadians love Trump including on this site. If he follows through with the tariffs they will have helped reduce their own standard of living.yuekit
- Canada is fucked thread incominggrafician
- there are Canadians on here that love trump? I can’t think of oneGnash
- Just Ontario trades billions with USA - both directions. Once we add retaliatory tariffs on the oil and steel we ship over things will suddenly get fixedGnash
- Good luck USA when you’re raw cdn building materials, maple syrup suddenly 2x not to mention energy products... no whining about it tho kthxprophetone
- According to Moldero west coast Canadians are all Trump supporters :)
https://www.qbn.com/…yuekit - You said on this siteGnash
- monNom supports Trump (or at least defends him all the time) and is from Canada.yuekit
- At one point he even said he supports a 25% tariff on Canada to help the American working class...I didn't make it up.yuekit

Shock as pro-Russia independent wins first round of Romanian electionAn ultranationalist, Moscow-friendly Nato critic is set to face a centre-right candidate in the runoff of Romania’s presidential elections after a shock first-round result that has upended the country’s politics and could jeopardise its support for Ukraine.
- doesn't this just mean that the vote was split between the two centrist candidates and Elena Lasconi will mop up in the next round?kingsteven
- Pretty much.
But due to finding out this fucker used bot farms to "convince" people on tiktok to vote for him, now Supreme Court asked for a vote recountgrafician - He was unknown, had something like 3% in polls before elections, then got over 20% overnight basically
From poorly educated people on tiktokgrafician - Pure political chaos :))grafician

Happy Thanksgiving to all, including to the Radical Left Lunatics who have worked so hard to destroy our Country, but who have miserably failed, and will always fail, because their ideas and policies are so hopelessly bad that the great people of our Nation just gave a landslide victory to those who want to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Don’t worry, our Country will soon be respected, productive, fair, and strong, and you will be, more than ever before, proud to be an American!
"Umm, Uncle Donnie? My mom said we're not allowed to talk to you during dinner."
- Awful nice of him to wish his enemies a happy tgnb

Did Ferris Bueller’s Day Off teach us nothing re employing tariffs as a reboot strategy?
- Mexico already has a kind of tariff on the US they call it import tax, I've been dealing with that for 17 years, and now MX is crying we're going to do it backYakuZoku
