Two Democrats resigned from their respective positions

[Aviation Pro]

When confronted with accusations of misconduct. Cuomo’s was credible, Franken’s was dubious. So, here’s the ask:

Why the fuck is Buckethead Gaetz still in office?

I’ll answer, because he’s a fuckhead Republicant and pedo.

[Demsrule86]

1. Cuomo's was not credible...and he could run again this year and win. It was bullshit.

[former9thward]

12. NY Attorney General James said it was credible.

She investigated the claims.

NY AG James: Investigation found Gov. Cuomo 'sexually harassed multiple women'

15. Yeah and now she's stuck with the so-called credible Trump financial claims

abandoned by the Manhattan DA. They were only credible when she wanted to run for Governor, but was short-circuited by the newly appointed Gov Hochul declaring she would run for the term. It was a bridge too far, and she got no traction.

The investigation was the key for her to step to the front of the line, it didn't work out that way. Politics are strange bed fellows here in NY. Very strange indeed.

[Celerity]

18. we disagree on this one Demsrule, (which is totally oki, lol)

[Demsrule86]

2. None of our people should resign period. It just encourages more crap from Republicans...

attacking our people.

[FoxNewsSucks]

4. No shit!

That was so infuriating when they did it to Franken.

It seemed so obvious that republicons had figured out "holy cow look at this, it's all we have to do and they're gone, wow!"


I forget the names without looking it up, but when the accused Democrats from Virginia refused to quit and demanded investigations, that tactic pretty much came to a stop.

Never quit until AFTER a legitimate investigation into an accusation proves it.

[KS Toronado]

16. I agree 100%

[mikeysnot]

19. And they tried it again with President Biden

I’m not going to mention her name… Franken infuriates me to this day…

[druidity33]

26. Apparently she's jobless now...

she was working for RT. No great surprise there, eh?

[Walleye]

3. Buckethead 😂

[bucolic_frolic]

5. Yeah they seem to have an inside on sex scandals

A puzzle to some

[Hoyt]

6. I'd punch Gaetz if he walked up to me. But, apparently they don't have the evidence to charge him.

[leftyladyfrommo]

8. He's just such a slimy creep. So are all of these guys.

Most normal (I couldn't think of a better word) would not give these assholes the time of day. Probably why so much info on drugs and prostitutes keeps showing up.

[getagrip_already]

20. Not quite the same thing...

He hasn't been charged, but not necessarily due to a lack of evidence.

They are still extending ing sentencing on his wing nut. So until he is sentenced, we don't know what doj is up to.

Either they have too much evidence to sort through, or they have too much evidence to walk away.

Either way, it's not a lack of evidence he is guilty.

[Hoyt]

25. If they need his pimp buddy to flip, then maybe they ain't got the evidence on Gaetz.

In any evenmt, if they get him, I'll enjoy seeing him in orange.

[CousinIT]

7. Gaetz is still there because pretentious hypocrisy is the damn hallmark of Republicans

EVERY ACCUSATION from them (ie: pedophiles) is a confession.

They protect pedophiles in their own party while whining about sexual misconduct elsewhere. It's straight up BULLSHIT.

[dsc]

9. Cuomo resigned because he would have been impeached had he not

his subsequent conduct shows that to be the case. Franken may or may not have been expelled had he not resigned (all but one Democrat was in favor of him resigning and a unknown number of GOP senators would have voted to expel as well). Given the need for 67 votes it is unknowable what would have happened. He fell on his sword.

[jrthin]

10. You also had the drumbeat of the media; Republicans do

not have the drumbeat of the media.

[MurrayDelph]

11. I've said it before

Republicans only believe in ethics to the point where they can weaponize it against Democrats.

[BigMin28]

13. Repukes protect their own

No matter how twisted and corrupt. The rules, laws, and having basic human decency do not apply to them.

[taxi]

14. They shifted the focus from the crimes committed as a public servant to

his perversions, which are of personal nature. Supposedly, early on it was discovered that he used the position of his office to create phony drivers licenses, at a tax collectors office after hours, which could be used to identify the holder as a parent of the accompanied minor. At least that is my opinion of why he is still in office. They shifted the focus and we forgot all about the crimes against public trust.

[calimary]

17. Remember that old saw that warned against pointing a finger.

When you point your finger at someone, you have three other fingers pointing back at you.

[Baitball Blogger]

21. Because he's from Florida where Republicans pride themselves in being shameless.

[Rural_Progressive]

22. Lot of people dislike Bill Maher, and with good reason, but he explains the reason why brilliantly

It's the Magic "R"

[Bernardo de La Paz]

23. Groomer Gaetz. . . . nt

[Mr. Ected]

24. We police our own

They show us the true meaning of "Defund the Police".

[budkin]

27. Because Republicans have no morals

That’s it.
