Butthead Withdraws Prematurely

“So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.”

I wonder how many in Congress are without sin.

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

Oh, no! Trump will NEVER be able to find another candidate that will drive the Dims nuts now! Drat! Foiled again!

Look everyone! The Psych Professor at a "Christian" school has no problem with a 30 something year old (at the time) having sex with a minor and then being nominated to be the Attorney General of the USA.
JFC! You really can't make this shit up.

You left out a key word that relates to due process under the law, there, O.J. Just wait; it’ll come to you.

In terms of my accusation about you, if you would have a problem with it if he is/was found guilty of it in a court of law, then I stand corrected and apologize.
Until that were to happen, you are correct, it is just an accusation about him.
So....
This becomes a somewhat complicated moral question - Are you cool with someone being accused of having sex with a minor - or multiple minors - being appointed Attorney General of the USA until he/she was found guilty or innocent in a court of law?
I have mixed feelings for different reasons.
Moving on, I happen to feel if he is truly innocent, then it's a really shitty thing that he is being forced to go through. If he's guilty, I hope he faces the consequences and serves whatever punishment is handed to him.

I don't believe a single human adult is without sin.
I do believe IF you break a law you should suffer the legal consequences.
Some people choose to hold politicians to high standards. Seems a whole lot of politicians feel they are above any standards. Way too many are piece of shit human beings. Gaetz being one of them. Regardless if he had sex with minors or not.

I would, of course, have a problem, we’re either charged or convicted. Accusations, however, are always conveniently brought against conservative nominees in an attempt to get them to step aside out of fear of being embarrassed. Gaetz is a tool, and I’m not sorry to see him gone, but playing these kinds of games with peoples’ lives and reputations is pretty low, IMHO.

He literally showed off the pics.

And the legal charges are where, exactly?

Nice try.

politicians. insurance companies. airline industry.

worst pieces of $#!t on the planet.

Serious question. Has he been charged with anything? Bill Clinton has been accused on myriad such things, and he seems to be in good stead with your party. What’s the difference?

[MICHHAWK]

bill clinton is probably the greatest president of my lifetime.

It's going to be a LONG four years (to a lifetime) of bad-faith MAGA chuds using the results (whatever they may be) of Trump DOJ and Trump Court things as representative of "justice."

[JKLivin]

bill clinton is probably the greatest president of my lifetime.

He was the only Dim vote for POTUS that I ever cast. He was also a serial philanderer.

[japhy]

Good news, Nickelodeon is looking for a political/legal correspondent who can also give relationship advice to teens.

Gaetz is considered a frontrunner for the job.

The real reason he left……if he’s innocent, he’s too much of a coward to stand and fight??

Just minutes after Gaetz announced that he is withdrawing from consideration to be Trump’s attorney general, CNN published a scoop regarding a reported second sexual encounter the Florida Republican had with a 17-year-old girl at a party.

It was previously known that a woman testified to the House Ethics Committee that Gaetz had sex with her when she was a minor. Sources familiar with the woman’s testimony told CNN that the woman spoke of two sexual encounters she had with the then-congressman at one party in 2017.

According to CNN’s Paula Reid, the network reached out to Gaetz for comment on the story, telling Trump’s pick for attorney general that the scoop would publish at 12:30 p.m. ET. Gaetz posted his statement announcing his withdrawal from consideration six minutes earlier. He has previously denied having sex with a minor.

I see. You want it both ways.

If he isn’t charged, it never happened.

If he is charged, even tried, even convicted (Trump) it is written off as a DOJ out of control. Don’t let the fact that a STATE court convicted DJT in a JURY trial.

How do you reconcile being a “Christian “ with your acceptance of molesters, rapists, sexual predators and bigots?

[KUTradition]

pam bondi, come on down…

[jhawks99]

I'm sure if they would have just released the report, Butthead would be fully exonerated.

I guess I reconcile it by being a person who looks at things on a case-by-case basis; who is intelligent enough to see that lawfare and justice are not one and the same, and that wanting enforcement of immigration laws for the sake of my well-being and that of my children is not the same as wanton bigotry; who understands that there are times when the system forces us to choose between two people, neither of whom is a great choice, but that one is clearly better for my future and that of my children than the other.

I wish the world were the binary proposition you seem to believe it to be, but, in my experience, it is not.

[JKLivin]

I’ve already said that I think Gaetz - like MTG and Lauren Boebert - is a bad person, and that I disagreed with his nomination. My guess is that it was a troll job and Trump knew it would blow up. It’s a silly political game.

This is for appointmwnt for US Attorney General, one of the most important jobs in our government. It's not an argument over two people speaking at rallies for a nominee.

Did Biden nominate Bill Clinton for Attorney General? No. Even though Clinton is 1000% more qualified for the position than Gaetz, I would have been against it if Clinton was nominated.

Gaetz was a troll job. The real nominee is a woman at least, although I’m sure you’ll hate her, too.

I certainly thank Trump for removing Gaetz from Congress. That's a win for America. Can he troll us more and get MTG, Boebert, Tuberville and Ted Cruz to resign, too?
