I like the Beaverton’s take.
This was a terrible mistake on Biden’s administration. Poland went to investigate politicians from the previous ruling party, and what would you know? Many were bought by Russians.
We need to go after corruption, Republicans, Democrats even SCOTUS. Corrupted politicians (no matter on which side he/she is) is a threat to democracy. We can’t have strong institutions if corruption is allowed.
Corruption makes a lot of money for politicians on both sides of the aisle in America.
Democrats didn’t go after Republican corruption because they too would be caught in the net if it was indeed done via an independent Justice System.
You see this exact same effect in other countries with voting systems that boost the representation of the two largest parties - neither of them ever goes after Corruption because both of them have been thoroughly captured by corrupt politicians and you even get the effect in Parliamentary systems that some of the few things they both vote together on is weakening existing anti-corruption legislation and defeating new anti-corruption legislation.
Parties which regularly get real power, such as the two main parties in Power Duopoly “democracies”, always attract the most crooked people around (similarly to power monopolies - I.e autocracies) and are guaranted to turn rotten even when they start from the most honest and fair beginnings.
Don’t worry, the fully weaponized maga DOJ will show the country how it’s done.
I hope people will realise how much power Biden and other Dems left on the table… Norms… Pppssshhhttt
Not that it is much, but the DOJ did go after Bob Menendez under Garland.
That’s a really low gold bar, but I guess we have to start somewhere.
I’ve wondered for a few years now if Garland was just an extremely deep mole – at some point the willful inaction became indistinguishable from purposeful obstruction.
Just pro establishment. The feds fucked that all up and he backed them 100%.
Yeah, that whole “the purpose of a system is what it does” statement makes me think the DNC are moles.
The DNC exists to manage the controlled opposition for the capitalist class
If only he’d kept his dick out of little jane
See, that’s the worst part about all of this. It isn’t because of the sex, it’s what he did to have it. Had he just gone to Georgia to have sex with a 17 year old girl who was already there, there would be no case.
Man what a weird coincidence I ran into this right after finding out John Fugelsang was in Coyote Ugly lol. I didn’t even know he was an actor. I do know he is awesome.
I’m guessing he was an actor. Then he was in Coyote Ugly.
what is this referencing
edit: nevermind lmao
He stepped down from the consideration for AG.
I’m sad because it’s true.
May he fade away into obscurity forever. Amen.
Nah. He was my Congressman. I want him nailed to the wall with whatever they got. Statutory rape if he was dumb enough to fuck a 17-yo in Florida. Paying for minor sex across state lines? Probably even better.
I want the report fucking yesterday.
That would be awesome.
It’s not going to happen though. I’d love to told i was wrong.
Just to be back in 2 months.
He can be! I’ve followed this man closely.
After his buddy was sentenced, the buddy who was presumably going to squeal, Gaetz shut the fuck up. If you remember, he was on a tear. Always stirring shit up, always in the headlines. Then… silence.
After that died down, the Mouth from the South was in action again, just a tad more subdued. House report coming up? Sure got real quiet around here, again.
He resigned this Congress and was voted in for the next. Probably sweating balls trying to figure out his next play.
Oh gosh! Remember yesterday’s headlines that a “hacker” had got the House report? And he instantly dropped the Attorney General bid? Huh. I won’t state my opinion, because lemmy will, no matter what, think I’m defending him.
EDIT: Ah, fuck it, I need the downvotes. For those of y’all pissing and moaning about him fucking a 17-yo “child”, does the name “Nestor” ring any bells? Might want to look into that.
I don’t understand what the Nestor edit means? Its obvious he is obsessed with raping children. I don’t think that the gender of the child matters to him. He seems to be an equal opportunity child rapist.
I really fucking hope not.
Whoever Trump nominates next, you can be sure he’s got some serious dirt on them too. One of the prostrate 8?
Or just a total brown-noser. Kari Lake isn’t doing much.
Look at what you did to my boy!
