“An axe to grind” is how Elon describes a nominated (withdrawn) government official?
May I (hopefully) be the first to say, WHAT AN ASSHOLE!!!

If that predatory perv who somehow, believe it or not, actually looks like both Butthead and Beavis at the same time, has an axe to grind then where can I get a guillotine to sharpen?

I was just thinking that a insurrectionist with a mile-long record of corruption (not to mention rumors of worse) was just re-elected president. Who are you going to believe, me or the truth?

slight aside. To avoid current news I just started (re) listening to Mike Duncan’s Revolutions, season 4-Haiti. Ep 4.02 mentions the use of apartheid laws to divide people who have common interests. A practice we see today!

That ‘little fishies’ story is quite disgusting.
Yet I was never sure if it was “Tiberius bashing” or the real truth. But he chose to live ‘away’ so people can believe anything.
I suppose I am still influenced by I, Claudius.
It’s like NOW they are ‘trying’ to rehabilitate Nero. Now HE ended the whole dynasty so it appears he really WAS a POS imo.
Lordie: as an historian (I am a ‘reader’ not a ‘worker’) do you find the stories about Nero credible? I find them more credible than the Tiberius stuff.
Also are the stories about Livia TRUE? I had read that AUGUSTUS which did surprise me had multiple affairs and I found it odd she did not ‘facilitate’ his death earlier. (But the story about the figs makes sense.)

Here’s something I found at the Daily Beast that is right up there with Gaetz in terms of being trash and weird. I mean, from start to finish this is just awful hedonistic crap.
Santa Baby indeed???

I don’t doubt that Gaetz is a scumbag but for be a groomer, it sounds like Greenberg and Mattie’s current GF at the time were the real groomers.
The committee found that Gaetz’s then-girlfriend would facilitate some of the paid sex with women, once texting some of them that Gaetz and Greenberg were low on cash and that “M]att was like[,] if it can be more of a customer appreciation week.”

I have a feeling this Hegseth guy is just as vile as Gaetz. Hopefully, they expose all of these miasmic characters. tRump, in nominating them, is just showing how much he hates this country. He’s giving the finger to the Constitution and all those who defend it. Some of the pushback from those within the GOP is encouraging. tRump is basically a lame duck from the get go anyway. It’s still unbelievable to me that he will be president again.

Is there something in the FL gene pool that they keep having kids with large foreheads?
These two could be related.

It truly is a snapshot of contemporary America. Art often reveals who we truly are. I’m not sure America deserves to be America anymore.

The issue with that is that Clinton knew Epstein too – he did cut him off when he was indicted in Florida. But he did know him.
But Trump was President at the time Epstein died and HE grabbed onto the story of how Out of Office Clinton ‘got to him.’ And the two ‘guards’ were really useless. I wonder if they faced charges for being online ‘shopping’ and sleeping. (Were they considered responsible as MANSLAUGHTER? I wonder how that works – is it like a med tech who does not give shots and a patient dies or what?)

Gaetz was behind getting Kevin McCarthy ousted as Speaker. So there’s a motive there. But I don’t know why these two were at loggerheads in the first place.

“There is a reason they did this to me in a Christmas Eve-Eve report and not in a courtroom of any kind where I could present evidence and challenge witnesses.”
I presume he had the opportunity to present evidence and challenge witnesses during the House investigation.
Is that something he could have done?

Federal charges weren’t filed because President Biden didn’t want the DOJ to be politicized. Sucks to be Matt that his own fellow Republicans have no such ethic.
