Even if he doesn't serve time, I'd like to think he'll never hold an elected office ever again now at least
I think sexual misconduct with a minor is a prerequisite for a GOP cantidate, especially in FL. I am sure some have been grandfathered into the GOP prior to this unwritten rule being implemented.
Trump ran and got elected. Similar charges.
Trump is an actual reality TV star though. He's one of the most skilled people on Earth at appealing to low-effort thinkers. Others like him in the crime/depravity department (Herschel Walker, George Santos) haven't done as well electorally.
Plus a metric fuck ton more
Trump just got reelected after 4 years to think about it. I wouldn’t be too sure that Gaetz is done.
Teflon Gaetz doesn't have the same ring to it.
No, but Matt Raepz does.
The Republicans named their favorite house rule after a pedophilic former speaker of the house. They just re elected a convinced rapist and con man. I don't have your confidence.
I do not consider him making several million dollars a year at GOP speaking engagements and hosting Fox News to be considered “justice“.
Trump just got elected to the highest position in the country. There is no standard anymore.
I'd like to think that, too. But I don't.
Ahahahahahah
There was a time when I would believe that could happen.
These days, being a criminal (and personally loyal to Trump) seems to be a pre-requisite for being appointed to a cabinet position.
