Are you glad the Matt Gaetz Ethics Report came out today?

American president-elect Donald Trump nominated Matt Gaetz to be Attorney General of the United States of America, if I understand the news correctly. Gaetz withdrew his nomination after it became clear to him that news about his previous inappropriate conduct would become public. As of today, the report is out. He did lots of drugs and paid women, including underage girls, for sex. Nothing surprising there. But do you really think Donald Trump was unaware of his activities? Why would Trump nominate this man to be Attorney General? I would think Trump would want to distance himself from anyone involved with sex with minors, prostitution, and so on. Trump's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein is well-documented. Anyway, are you glad the report came out? We live in interesting times.

NOTHING new. Marion Barry? CONVICTED, then re-elected. Ted Kennedy? Killed a woman, and repeatedly re-elected. All I can think is that poor Richard Nixon is rolling in his grave, thinking he could have done so much MORE in the criminal world than a silly break-in and deleting 18 minutes of recorded conversation.

Maybe it's no surprise to most - and many don't care about his past. But can someone tell me what redeeming quality this guy has to take on any leadership role in politics, whether this report came out or not?

I don't know anything about Gaetz's accomplishments as a legislator.

I am always glad when some of these clowns the Putz has accumulated for his cabinet are shown for what they really are. We certainly do live in interesting times. I am just afraid it is going to get even more interesting before it is all said and done. I hope they don't make too much of a mess of our country in the next 4 years.

Not surprised at what he was doing. Not surprised at the Rump either

Interesting times indeed. It's the first time I've ever taken much interest in US politics.
