I'm not misremembering this, am I? He was like full-on outed as a pedo and then nothing happened?
Yes, he was involved in trafficking underage girls across state lines
Yea and he got off because his buddy flipped on him and they successfully used the argument "you can't believe anything that guy says he's a convicted pedophile."
oh even better 
That's gonna be legal now
~~that said burgerstan gets exactly the kind of representation it deserves... not what it needs (rather the opposite) but what it deserves, not justifying it but Trump's bringing all the true blue-blooded Real Americans™ into office, bald eagles and the founding fathers cry~~
Bill Clinton not only still walks the earth but was actively involved in Harris's campaign
At least it appears the universe is trying to impose karmatic justice on the Clinton's and Kamala.
These assholes are failing upward faster than anybody I've ever seen.
afaik nothing happened he got away with it all.
If memory serves there was never anything concrete enough to bring charges, but a lot of smoke
His buddy Greenberg pled guilty to underage sex crime trafficking and is currently in prison
They were going to bring charges but the primary witness was the victim, who is or was a sex worker. Since the defense would just say, "You can't trust a prostitute over a US representative.", they decided not to proceed.
Since the defense would just say, "You can't trust a prostitute over a US representative."
Perhaps I missed some details, but I believe the argument was a bit different (but also probably included what you said). They wanted to use the other convicted pedophile, his buddy, but they feared a jury wouldn't trust a convicted pedophile. I think these were both effectively speculation though since the feds never formally acknowledged much of it. We saw the evidence and we knew they were pursuing charges... and then it went poof with little reason why
Picking a child predator as AG is a choice
Trump 
Matt Gaetz
Literal Pedophiles
the death to America speedrun executive team just keeps stepping on the gas
they're gonna crash this whole thing so hard they'll make Liz Truss and Javier Milei look like fuckin' amateurs
Right? Like all these cabinet positions is getting my hopes up that there will be no amerika in 2028 so no more election shit to hear about
At thisnfucking rate idk if there's gonna be America in 2026.
Inshallah
This is gonna be a straight up no guardrails seat belts off airbags removed fucking car crash.
People might be fistfighting in gas stations within a mo th of inauguration because the charade of the rule of law has completely disappeared. We are truly gonna be in the "smoke em if you got em" phase of democracy.
President Trump thank you for defending pedophiles across the country by nominating Mr. Gaetz as AG
no but really what did he mean by this 
i will pray someone asks him at his confirmation hearing, the only way democrats can possibly #resist
Charitable interpretation: it's referring to all the old people who go there to retire to a beach condo.
Musk Gaetz abolishing Amber Alerts
Amber.
Fantastic fucking work bot.
I'm convinced Trump just opened up ChatGPT and asked it who would be the worst and funniest person for each of these cabinet positions
It's fine, if the nominations are bad the Senate can always exercise restraint - snnnkk - and - hehe - refuse - bwahaha - refuse to confirm the unsuitable nominees.
At least the confirmation hearings promise to be entertaining as hell.
Sadly no Democrat would be so uncivil as to ask "Hey wait aren't you a pedophile who sex-trafficked children across state lines?"
As a 
, I'm compelled to inform you that Republicans have the Senate, and they'll probably just do what Trump wants
lol acceleration stans are eating
Certified Pedophile
(Wop wop wop wop wop)
Matt played a key role in defeating the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax
nooo don't say that name 3 times!!!
If you say it into a mirror 
appears behind you and steals your democracy
vladimir putin shit myself 
the Chinese century is coming along good then
This news just got a blank stare out of me . With Boebert heading Education and the whole Doge Dept thing, I genuinely don't know how I'm supposed to process it.
Edit: apparently the Boebert thing is a meme.
Nestor is going to be thrilled
Well this is terrifying.
This is shaping out to be an even better administration than Trump's first year. Though some are some normie-picks, like Stefanik, Rubio, and that Waltz guy, a lot of these people are so much fun. Fox News host, gaetz, Miller is back. Just gotta bring in Bannon and Gorka. PLEASE pick Rfk for HHS. God the democrats have ruined us more than they usually do. Stupid fucks you did this i will never forgive you. You could have just given me healthcare
Trump is only the accelerationist candidate if you assume that he is personally more competent than the deepstate ghouls Kamala was going to let pick her cabinet. He isn't, and by clearly being the final decision on who will run his administration, he is almost certainly going to further hurt US foreign policy goals while inspiring actual resistance to the shitty domestic policies the establishment Democrats had no interest in fighting.
Also, there's a very good chance that in 3 years time Trump's own cognitive decline will become as obvious as Biden's.
All candidates are accelerationist candidates. There are no brakes on the grift train and the figurative pedal is already welded to the figurative metal, all that was up in the air was who gets rich stuffing their pockets while pretending to drive it.
I have to admit, it has been entertaining to see /r/politics completely losing their minds at Trump's picks.
I'd go so far as to say r/politics is even readable and entertaining right now because they're loosing their minds, instead of gaslighting us that they're not supporting genocide
Okay this is the funniest timeline
Incredible things are happening in the executive branch
