(24,610 posts)Matt's team could have happily divided Ukraine to benefit Putin, much as they have done here in the States.

(21,966 posts) gotten the Republican candidate for U.S. president to employ a campaign manager who had previously worked to destabilize Ukraine.
gotten the Republican candidate for U.S. president to change the party's platform to water down support for Ukraine.
gotten the Republican U.S. president to try to shake down the president of Ukraine in a favors-for-arms scandal.
gotten the Republican U.S. president to campaign for his reinstatement to the G8 after he was kicked out for invading Crimea.
gotten the Republican U.S. president to publicly state that he trusted Putin more than he trusted U.S. intelligence.
gotten the Republican U.S. president to threaten to pull out of NATO.
Sending Dr. Fauci wouldn't have worked, because only in America do we have enough whining douchebags like Matt Gaetz who are willing to destabilize their own country just because they were asked to help stop a deadly pandemic by wearing a mask and getting a vaccine.

(7,857 posts)Russia invaded Ukraine, men, women, and children are dying, families are displaced...and Gaetz, that moronic pedophile (alleged) is still bitching about Fauci and vaccines?...to paraphrase Henry II.."will no one rid us of these vomit-spewing GOP assholes!!!"

(14,176 posts)Never mind. I've nearly forgotten too.
It will all go away, as soon as the news cycle moves on.
So sick and tired of these sleazballs, including the giant orange one, getting away with everything. All they have to do is wait out the clock. Threaten lawyers to force them to quit the case. And have Fox News make them into woke victims to send money to.

(14,176 posts)Maybe I'm just impatient, and "these things take time".
But I'm so tired of hearing about how some Republican asshole has been caught with his hands in the jar, then a lot of fluster, stories in the media, followed by calls for resignations. etc. A day, a month, a year, 2 years, go by until its out of the news cycle for good. Somehow nothing ever becomes of it.
I have the same faith in any investigation into Trump or his family's business, or his role in the insurrection. Its so blatant now: If you are wealthy and/or politically powerful enough, you can get away with almost anything.
Sometimes I wish I'd rather not even know of the original accusations if they are going to eventually get off anyways. I was eager and ready to celebrate the charges against Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice etc too.

(43,287 posts)Is it because he's a scientist, has an ethnic surname, or his NYC accent?
Is there a list of Matt's girlfriends?

(3,691 posts)But I can't keep believing that and get up each morning so I keep believing in justice, even if it has a very long term arc. Gaetz is simply rat dung.
