Those exact words literally came out of my mouth upon reading this headline.

PedoGaetz gonna make a bunch of evidence against him disappear.

[-] aseriesoftubes@lemmy.world 55 points 1 week ago

Prosecutors hate this one weird trick for making your sex trafficking charges disappear!

[-] Suavevillain@lemmy.world 50 points 1 week ago

This might be the worst timeline. This man shouldn't be anywhere near power.

[-] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

Easier for him to be a pedo!

[-] JeffKerman1999@sopuli.xyz 34 points 1 week ago

HAHAHA!!!

Just remember, kids: abstaining for protest is always the right answer!!!

[-] billiam0202@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago

But what was I supposed to do, vote for that bitch who didn't go on my alt-right manosphere podcast of choice!?

[-] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 31 points 1 week ago

No.

Not the Onion?

Really?

May the women and girls of your country shun you for the rest of your days and beyond, even after the resistance maims, jails, and hangs you.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago

Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, told Punchbowl News she was “shocked” by the pick.

She'll end up voting for him, I guarantee it.

[-] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Collins and Murkowski hate Trump, they're two of the last surviving Republicans that openly do so. I bet they won't:

[-] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 week ago

History suggests that if her vote might actually determine whether the confirmation passes, that she will vote for him every single time.

[-] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

History has suggested over and over that she's a bit actor in a grand play of scoundrels. Her every utterance is a paltry smokescreen and a gross injustice. This cabinet will be a Who's Who of vile sludge and Sue Collins will assuredly press her mark to history's register of villains.

I'm wondering what position MTG is gonna get now... ain't too many people kissed his ass more than that thing has...

[-] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Director of National Intelligence.

Because lasers.

Holy fucking shit... Never mind.

He picked tulsi gabbard.

What in the fucking ever living fuck?!

I guess MTG gets interior or some shit.

[-] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 week ago

MTG was scooped for DNI by Tulsi Gabbard, which is significantly worse. Maybe MTG can head up NOAA so she can use the weather control devices to put the hurricanes and tornados in California rather than the red states with weather and geography conducive to their formation.

[-] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

Russia has officially taken control of the US government.

[-] tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago

PR for the white house

[-] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

I hope MTG gets national security advisor. If we're going full farce, might as well make it funny.

[-] tipicaldik@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

🤣 🤣 🤣

[-] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

So a pedophile sex trafficker runs the justice department.

I expect a slew of resignations. Probably exactly what Trump wants anyways.

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 8 points 1 week ago

If you get enough resignations, the department is unable to operate, because those empty roles are going to get filled with more people who are so stupid they can't even crime correctly.

Widespread incompetence may be our only hope.

[-] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

That's honestly what I'm hoping for too. If anyone can fuck this up, it's Trump and his administration.

[-] Sc00ter@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

My perspective is that in his first term, he rewarded loyalty but also attempted to place some pieces based on merit. He learned that he needed more loyalty to do what he wanted, (Pence wouldn't do what trunp wanted on j6), so he's going all out loyalist this go around.

Hopefully yall are right. They incompetence is so great they're wildly useless. Because we've already seen they're will be no consequences for their actions

[-] AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

...because Jeff Epstein was unavailable?

At the end of these appointment press releases, I fully expect to see one last press release that just says, "The Aristocrats!"

[-] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

“The aristocats! Shoot, messed that one up.”

[-] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Man, mandatory voting in my country was never popular, but am I glad we have it. We still elect right wing nutjobs, but compared to their American counterparts they're positively benign.

[-] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 week ago

I'm not really sure more people voting would have kept Trump out of power. We were already getting to some extremely dumb people in the undecided category, and those were the ones that made the smallest of efforts to participate in democracy.

[-] PortoPeople@lemm.ee 10 points 1 week ago

Un. Be. Liev. Able.

[-] JustZ@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Disgusting.

[-] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 1 week ago

Could we get the real Beavis instead? I don't like this Walmart brand one

[-] cerement@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 week ago

there’s always the wish.com version – Eric Trump (with Don Jr. for Butthead)

[-] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

"I was shocked at the nomination. This is why the Senate’s advice and consent process is so important. I’m sure that there will be many, many questions raised at Mr. Gaetz’s hearing.”

— Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), quoted by Punchbowl News, on the nomination of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) to be Attorney General.

The book will be open on Gaetz.

Must see TV.

Then there's this

[-] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

It'll be illegal not to fuck kids.

To protect them.

[-] meco03211@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I'm very curious. What do these chodes expect to happen after 2028? Depending on how bad they fuck things up, I can see a state level push for retribution and vengeance on some of these fucks. They might be somewhat untouchable while herr trump is still in office. And I'm holding out a sliver of faith in humanity that trump trying to push for a third term will be met with adequate resistance to prevent it.

[-] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

From trump's talk before the election, I don't think they foresee there will be a 2028 election.

[-] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

What do these chodes expect to happen after 2028?

Uh, nothing bad? Just like after screw-ups doing COVID-19?

America collectively has the attention span of a flea, and an even shorter term memory. No one even cares about what happened in 2016-2020 anymore

[-] DirkMcCallahan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Well...this can't go wrong at ALL, can it?

[-] subignition@fedia.io 3 points 1 week ago

I had to double-check that this fucker was actually even an attorney

[-] databender@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

jesusfuckingchrist the "moving to Mexico" thing was a joke. Every day it becomes less of a retirement fantasy and more of a survival plan.

[-] 58008@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

How does the old saying go? Sex offenders flock together?

[-] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

There goes the Google monopoly case.
