At least four of the president-elect’s top picks to lead his government have been accused of sexual assault, harassment or child sex trafficking.

      I remember telling friends that it was so wild because, like… I absolutely believe in pedophiles in positions of high power and others using that as blackmail to get what they want… but when it veers into “Satanic Cult Conspiracy” that is firmly where you lost me.

      But it’s clear they either don’t understand or never actually cared about such issues.

    it’s interesting because as he adds cabinet picks, they come with allegations, as well as allegations stacking against those already selected. must be a requirement for the job, typically i would think this would make security clearance all but impossible due to the blackmail but maybe that is what he liked about these picks. that or trump just sees those like him and gravitates towards that, since his drug and dementia addled brain can’t handle anything else.

      He wants to work with people that he has something in common with. These are people who get him. People who have been publicly criticised for their awful behaviour. These are his people.

    i mean, at this point it’s not even remotely far fetched to assume they’ll just go ahead and make rape 100% legal

    If that alone isn’t enough to dissuade people with strong Christian values, there are 10 marriages and 25 confirmed children between those 4 guys, and the majority were born out of wedlock. Two of them haven’t even hit 50 yet. Gaetz oddly enough drags the average down with his vanilla ‘no kids, 1 marriage’ kind of lifestyle. Definite ‘keep dick in pants’ problem

      Yeah but Gaetz has a suspicious stepson everyone quit talking about.

      Gaetz’s relationship with his “adopted son” has been met with bafflement in Washington ever since he first revealed Nestor in 2020, describing him as the son of an ex-girlfriend.

      “We share no blood but he is my life,” he said at the time.

      It remains unclear whether Gaetz formally adopted him.

    • president elect

    • top picks

    • government leaders

    • sexual assault

    • child sex trafficking

    The juxtaposition of these positions to the actions is mind blowing

    It’s not only corruption, which is already bad in itself, no, it’s the folks that “fucks anything that moves”
