Caligula was near the beginning of the Roman Empire, not the end. Unfortunately, madness can last centuries |

Witch hunt because Trump has been innocent every single time. Too bad these voters didn’t grow up in NY like I did. Con man through and through, that will never change. The Trump voters are so gullible. |

Kind of reminds me of when the CIA put kiddie porn on Julian Assange's computer and Sweden investigated it for years and concluded it was fake. |

Ah. So the woman who testified to the House Ethics Committee was paid by the CIA. That explains everything... |

Barr headed the "investigation" and buried it. |

I had thought she was always disgusted by obvious plastic surgery which is why he punted Loomer. |

You understand that a staffer is not a congressman, right? |

And that staffer was not appointed to become Attorney General and run the Justice department. He was fired. Difference between Democrats and MAGA right there. |

Let's see the report. We've already heard from members of Congress that it's very damaging. The American people deserve to see it. |

His cabinet picks make Caligula's naming Incitatus consul a down right sensible act. (If you don't know, Incitatus was Caligula's horse) |

| If there were anything there, he would have been charged. |

By whom? |

The case was given to Barr, and he buried it. |

Define "anything." A ridiculous aspect of this conversation is that people are acting like as long as Matt Gaetz didn't actually commit statutory rape, it's fiiiine and he should be AG. Members of Congress are on the record saying Gaetz bragged about sexual exploits in the floor of the House and showed photos/videos of himself in sexual situations to fellow members, often with very young women. He is disliked by much of his caucus for being a Grade A troll who lies, provokes, and bullies colleagues. Even if you set aside his election denialism and the part he played in January 6 in riling up sentiment against Mike Pence (which I guess we have to set that aside since the president appointing him dud the same and worse) there are plenty of reasons why Gaetz is disqualified from being AG. Even if the ethics probe didn't conclude he has sex with a minor, it's very likely they uncovered details of a ton of ethical violations including those I've just mentioned and likely others (lots of evidence to indicate Gaetz was and is a frequent user if hard illegal drugs and has regularly put himself in compromising positions that would open him up to blackmail and worse). So the fact that he escaped federal prosecution isn't really the gotcha you seem to think it is. |
