Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

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.
Plus a metric fuck ton more
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.
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.
I do not consider him making several million dollars a year at GOP speaking engagements and hosting Fox News to be considered “justice“.
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.
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.
