- What in the actual fuck - are literally ALL of these people fucking rapists? nm - Turd Ferguson Nov 21, 10:08 4
  - It’s entirely consistent with a worldview that values the exercise of individual power above all else. -- (link*) - znufrii Nov 21, 10:13 [Backboard]

ok so he resigned his house seat, right? can he just be reappointed? -- nm - amanda Nov 21, 09:41 17
- He was elected to a fresh term starting in January. Not totally sure how this works -- (link) - ty97 Nov 21, 09:46 6
  - Sure, but if he takes the oath in January - then the Ethics Committee report will definitely come out, yes? nm -- nm - Turd Ferguson Nov 21, 10:03 5
    - That was then. This is now. You have to start another investigation from scratch with new republican majority and committee leaders -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 21, 10:14 1
      - even if that is how it works (cause I really dont know), why bother? He does nothing and gains nothing as a Rep in congress. - Jovian Nov 21, 10:16
    - yep -- nm - Jovian Nov 21, 10:10 2
      - "sorry we shredded all the copies" -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Nov 21, 10:12 1
        
        lol yea that'd probably be pretty much the case. But Gaetz is going to land himself some nice seven figure contract job soon enough. - Jovian Nov 21, 10:14
- correct. and he wouldnt want to. He resigned so this report never comes public. His pal Donnie just helped him with providing cover. -- nm - Jovian Nov 21, 09:42 6
  - will he run in the special election? I must know! -- nm - amanda Nov 21, 09:43 5
    - if my opinion on what really happened here is accurate? Then no he definitely isnt going to throw his hat into that ring. -- nm - Jovian Nov 21, 09:45 4
      - he won reelection. He's now "Rep.-elect" -- nm - mud Nov 21, 09:42 -- nm - mud Nov 21, 09:46 3
        
        but he resigned. -- nm - Jovian Nov 21, 09:47 2
        
        Resigned from his current term in the current congress though -- nm - ty97 Nov 21, 09:47 1
        
        (House member is like a 2-year temp job) -- nm* - ty97 Nov 21, 09:48
- No appointments to House seats. Special election. -- nm - Reagen Nov 21, 09:42
- he won reelection. He's now "Rep.-elect" -- nm - mud Nov 21, 09:42
- no. special election. -- (link) - amanda Nov 21, 09:42
As always, if you're going to do criminal things, maybe don't draw attention to yourself. Or, you know... - Mop🧹 Nov 21, 09:39
Wow -- nm - ty97 Nov 21, 09:38
his resignation still stands though right? next up: Secretary of Partying Down -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Nov 21, 09:36 8
- "it was all a ruse to get out of his Ethics Committee report ever being published " -- nm - budice Nov 21, 09:37 7
  - Yup. It was always about that. From the moment he resigned from Congress. -- nm - Jovian Nov 21, 09:38 6
    - From the moment Trump announced his intention to nominate him as AG. -- nm - Diva Nov 21, 09:41 1
      - yep, which happened immediately after his resignation. - Jovian Nov 21, 09:59
    - Set to be published that Friday, now buried with resignation -- nm - budice Nov 21, 09:41 3
      - the Ethics Committee hasn't made a final decision yet on publishing it -- nm - mr mooch Nov 21, 09:48 2
        
        I would think that they would say that they have no reason to release it now. -- nm - amanda Nov 21, 10:07 1
        
        correct. as long as he doesnt re-join congress, this chapter is over. -- nm - Jovian Nov 21, 10:11
