I genuinely don't understand why you post here.

Literally everyone here thinks you're of significantly below-average intelligence.  Even the people who agree with your positions on a topic sigh and think "what a dumbfuck" when they read your posts.  And why post when everything you write only reconfirms that impression?

But beyond that, you're just a source of humor.  On any thread you jump on, people joke about blow jobs and meth . . . because you literally suck dick for meth.

Look, man--I don't want to kink shame.  If posting on this board is to fulfill a humiliation fetish, I mean--sure.  But if not that, why on earth would you post here?

Fuck off I’m enjoying y’all whine and gnash your teeth about Trump. I have been waiting for a President to do what he is doing since I volunteered for Pat Buchanan back in 1996. I’m enjoying myself and laughing at you losers. This board needs the perspective of the True Believers.

Apparently gaetz has already resigned his seat. Goons be funny if he doesn’t clear confirmation.

The great thing about Icono is he will always be a cultural, social and economic inferior, and deep down he knows this.

Garland in a landslide.  If not for Garland's fecklessness, Gaetz wouldn't have had the opportunity.

As a fellow (half) Persian, it's disappointing to hear you use language like "True Believer".  Have we learned nothing.

No, I'm not giving anyone the benefit of the doubt anymore. And you certainly didn't deserve it from your past behavior, and have pretty immediately reverted to old behaviors. 

I haven't seen whatever weird video you're talking about, but I'm just reading the shit you post without context

Rep. Matt Gaetz's (R-Fla.) resignation from Congress came two days before the House Ethics Committee was set to vote on releasing a “highly damaging” report outlining its investigation into the Republican, according to multiple sources familiar with the probe. The committee planned to vote Friday on releasing the report. Ethics loses its jurisdiction over Gaetz when he leaves Congress. The secretive panel has been investigating Gaetz on and off since 2021. President-elect Donald Trump announced that he would nominate Gaetz to be attorney general Wednesday.

Leak that shit.

[Balcones 392]

From Newsweek:

Chief among those is the Justice Department's investigation into whether Gaetz engaged in sex trafficking and if that investigation is still ongoing.

The department started investigating the Florida congressman in the summer of 2020, and the FBI executed a search warrant on Gaetz later that year, seizing his cell phone and a cell phone belonging to his ex-girlfriend.

In September 2022, after more than two years of investigating Gaetz, prosecutors recommended that no charges be filed against the Florida congressman.

Five months later, in February 2023, the department formally closed the investigation.

Trump is using recess appointments for his entire cabinet.  There won’t be any confirmations according to what I’m reading.

Recess appointments must be confirmed before the end of the next session of Congress.  That's going to be a shit show.

Also, the authority and limitations on recess appointments is pretty explicit:

The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.

Wouldn't they still come up for confirmation before the end of the next session? There was a supreme Court case over this exact issue, NLRB v. Noel Canning

I'm sure the Federalist society has already written Thomas' majority opinion overturning this precedent, and probably sprinkled in something fun like disbanding unions and rescinding the authority of OSHA.

Incidentally, “recess appointments” are what Matt Gaetz calls his dates.

Didn’t you have to live in one of your mom’s rental houses after your life collapsed, from all the gay sex and drugs, and you cheating on the wife who you then blamed for all of your bad decisions in life? Your equally fascist brother had no qualms repeatedly coming on here and taunting your ass for this behavior. Did your bank account come from mommy too? I think we all know the answer.

He was definitely in some kind of law firm when he was mainlining meth and fucking a firm partner  while married. Real estate is probably a fallback from mommy after he became a legal pariah.

Because he’s a member of congress and the investigation was repeatedly stalled and/or shut down at various levels. 
 

do you think every pedo 100% ends up in prison?

The FBI opened the investigation in 2020, found nothing in 2022, and shut it down in 2023. Maybe the Pensacola County Sheriff should throw their vast resources at it?
