Gaetz was a congressperson when it all took place. That report is government property, AKA it belongs to all Americans.
Or Biden releases it as a matter of national security? Dems have no balls.
Does Biden even have it? It was a house investigation.
Respect the norms!
Either:
- The report incriminates him, and Johnson is defending a paedophile.
- The report exonerates him, and Johnson is actively preventing Gaetz’ exoneration.
Both options make Johnson a shitstain.
Nothing can make him a shitstain, as he already is. All we can do is increase size and smell.
“Public figures confused about what ‘pivate citizen’ means”
there I fixed the headline
don’t let him off as confused, he’s directly lying and obfuscating the truth.
_“speaker Johnson is a festering pile of diarrhea”
Is all I read.
What a feckless piece of shit
Guy defends the pedo that got him his job. What’s new with the Republican party?
Trump should be in prison now because he still is a ‘normal citizen’.
He would if the justice department weren’t a bunch of wimps and if the judges weren’t bought and paid for.
Did I miss something? Are private citizens who rape children immune to prosecution?
Depends… mostly on party affiliation and bank account.
This is America.
They wouldn’t show restraint for a Democrat. These are empty words
They literally showed pictures of hunter bidens Wang on Cspan and he was a private citizen. So spare me the theater.
That’s DIFFERENT! That was a Private Citizens PENIS NOT Underage Sex Trafficking and Rape Testimonies! THOSE things are PRIVATE!
-Republicans who believe Pizzagate!
Yeah, pretty sure the report about Al Franken still got released despite him resigning months earlier.
Never believe that [fascists] are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The [fascists] have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.
In the future, I highly recommend sourcing to Wikiquote instead. It’s a sister project of Wikipedia which sources its quotes so they can be independently verified, whereas Goodreads just operates on an ad populum approach of upvotes. It also for this reason tends to be more robust to error, and many more prominent figures have specific sections both for popular quotes that are known to be misattributed and for ones that are dubious but not currently falsifiable.
Ok so how to handle it then
Justice dies in silence.
You’re not a “private citizen” when you’re supposed to be a public servant. Johnson’s name is appropriate, he’s a total dick.
Says the guy watching pornos with his son
Now that’s just some good ol’ fashioned father son bonding time down in ol’ Louisiana
But he wasn’t a “private citizen” when he did the things you investigated, so release the fucking report.
Johnson: No.
He almost turns me into a believer because it seems the only place these fuckers might face any consequences would be hell itself.
This definition of private citizen seems to extend to all human beings… so why do we even do ethics reports.
trump is a ‘private citizen’. he should be in prison.
SCOTUS: we stopped caring about being consistent
SCOTUS: Do you understand how dumb “conservatives” are?? They’ll vote to make things worse for themselves, because they hate brown people.
When did they start?
OHHHHHH!!!
AIRHORNS!!!
