Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Have the republicans learned nothing? Published, verified, sexual assault evidence is WEEKS of headline coverage. This could win him his next election because bad press is a myth and has been for a decade. Gaetz should be begging people to have it released, otherwise he'll probably fade into obscurity over the next few years because he's out of power.
They have learned. It's a strategic decision. The election is just over, people will forget about Gaetz if he gets his week (singular, unless it gets leaked bite sized) of headlines now.
Next federal election is midterms in two years, right? The same time meatball Ron's replacement as Florida governor is elected. I give it 18months from now, and the report will be leaked over a couple of weeks. That way every time Gaetz get interviewed he can make more and more outlandish remarks, threaten whomever and launch policy ideas - just like the his senior Florida elected ephebophile has taught him. That will get/keep him in the running, or at least get enough spotlight for some PAC money. If it involves Mrs Matt Gaetz (Ginger Luckey) standing by her man "during these ridiculous accusations", I bet he'll be running for governor.
If the report gets leaked earlier it'll be because of a special election. It gets leaked later, and especially if the mrs is involved, then watch out. Because then that mother fucker (well, technically kid fucker) is going to run for POTUS after Trump.
He was my Congressman, so I've been watching all this horseshit very closely. Think you have it nailed down. Not sure he would be satisfied with Governor, might follow his MO, aim too high, too fast.
Not surprising at all. They did, after all. Get the orange idiot his second term.
