@CoffeeTiger again, what Trump said was ridiculous at times, but if you look at his actions it tells you a different story.  While Cuomo made policy that directly caused the deaths of thousands of elderly citizens in New York.

You are also looking at just what Trump said during the initial outbreak.  If you look at some of what the Democratic leaders said at the time, you will find similar dumb things.

Examples. Nancy Pelosi encouraging people to celebrate the Chinese New Year in San Francisco.

Cuomo stating the New Yorkers have the best of everything and will beat this virus

De Blasio not shutting down the subways and encouraging people to go to theaters and movies. He also encouraged people to attend Chinese New Year celebrations in NYC.

The Mayor of New Orleans refusing to curtail Madi Gras celebrations that caused super spreader events before the word was invented.

What Trump said rang hollow among many Americans and to say his words caused deaths is unverifiable.  If you recall, panic set in early as cleaning supplies and toilet paper were hard to find.  This happened in spite of what Trump said.

Trump lost the election because of his personality and his handling of the Coronavirus early on.  Get over it.

Hell, "personality" was one of the pillars of his popularity (among those who supported him).

Fortunately, a majority of the country ultimately prioritized his character and integrity.

So, you liked my post?  HIs popularity was based upon his fighting back from the Democrats full on attempt to impeach him from day one.  After 4 long years of this he finally misstepped after the election.  The way social media has banned him from their platforms even after January 20th does speak volumes about how afraid people are of his following, which in turn, feeds the legend he has projected.  Just stop and it may go away, in other words, let it go.

Man, you are a trip!!  😂

The Donald is not "going away" nor is anyone preventing him from doing so.  He's scamming millions off his racist followers - one of the better business ventures he's come up with.  It's got legs!

Bombshell Letter: Gaetz Paid for Sex With Minor, Wingman Says

I got money that the Congressmen that Gaetz showed pictures to gloating on the women he was doing are also guilty in all this. If you look real close, no one near him is condemning anything. Deafening Silence. 

Hey Hey Ho Ho Matt Gaetz has got the young Hoes...to go!

Charges unlikely against Gaetz in federal sex-trafficking probe

Federal authorities began investigating the Florida Republican in late 2020.

The federal investigation into Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz’s alleged sexual encounters with teenage girls is winding down and no charges are expected to be filed against the firebrand Republican congressman, a person familiar with the probe said Friday.

Federal prosecutors and the FBI began investigating Gaetz in late 2020 during the Trump administration over potential sex trafficking crimes related to allegations he’d paid women for sex and traveled overseas on at least one occasion to parties attended by teenagers who were not yet 18.

Gaetz, who denied having sex as an adult with anyone underage, declined to comment on the development. A Justice Department spokesperson also declined to comment. Gaetz is a close and outspoken ally of former President Donald Trump.

The Washington Post first reported Friday that career prosecutors have recommended not pursuing charges against Gaetz, in part due to concerns about the credibility of potential witnesses. It would be highly unusual for political appointees at the Justice Department to press forward with a prosecution in the face of opposition from top career officials.

Gaetz’s peril in the investigation seemed to intensify last year when a former close friend, former Seminole County, Fla., Tax Collector Joel Greenberg, pleaded guilty to six federal crimes including a sex trafficking charge and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors.

The probe into Greenberg steered authorities to look into Gaetz and several other men in Florida and led to the prosecution of Joe Ellicott, a collectibles dealer who was named on a federal grand jury subpoena along with Gaetz.

However, signs of activity in the probe seemed to slow in recent months even as some predicted action in the case by the end of summer. Earlier this month, when the Justice Department entered into a pre-election quiet period for politically-charged investigations without any charges being brought, the chances of charges against Gaetz appeared to dim.

Greenberg’s sentencing has been repeatedly delayed as his cooperation with the feds continued. The precise reasons for the delays were unclear, but defendants aiding the government in an investigation typically want to be able to show the court as much assistance as possible, including grand jury or trial testimony if required.

“Mr. Greenberg has been cooperating with federal prosecutors in active investigations currently being conducted by the United States Attorney’s Office in the Middle District of Florida and the Department of Justice in Washington D.C, as well as in other jurisdictions, Greenberg’s defense attorney Fritz Scheller said in a July court filing.

The submission, along with other information given to the court under seal, prompted U.S. District Court Judge Gregory Presnell to put Greenberg’s sentencing off until Dec. 1.

Besides the alleged sex trafficking offense, federal prosecutors were examining whether Gaetz had obstructed justice stemming from a phone call one witness had with Gaetz and the lawmaker’s girlfriend at the time. Exact details of that phone call are unknown.

The New York times also previously reported that Gaetz sought a blanket pardon in the last few weeks of Trump’s presidency, though it’s unclear if the Florida Republican knew he was under investigation when he asked for the pardon. The Washington Post last week also reported that Gaetz sought a pardon specifically over the federal investigation into sex offenses – details that emerged from testimony provided to the House’s select committee probing the Jan. 6 attack at the Capitol.

Greenberg, who was once considered Gaetz’s “wingman,” had faced credibility issues in part because of the massive list of charges he initially faced. Greenberg faced multiple indictments and a total of 33 criminal counts against him at one point, though he eventually pleaded guilty to only six counts. Those criminal charges included sex trafficking a minor, stalking and fraud. He’s facing a minimum of 12 years behind bars.

Those Justice Department leaks to the media about the investigation in March 2021 really did the trick. Resistance types won't care though. That was the point of leaking it because those types will still believe Gaetz is guilty regardless of the lack of credible evidence/witnesses to bring charges.

He is someone the GOP can be proud of.

Gaetz and Cawthorn, Making Sexual Perversion Great Again.

This is why I dont even consider the Republicans even a serious political party anymore. 

If the party leaders cannot or will not take care of this, then they really need to resign.

In regards to Gaetz, this is another Kavanaugh situation. Allow wild accusations to taint the accused as guilty regardless of there being any credible evidence.

The wild accusations were that Gaetz and his Dad were working for the FBI. THAT WAS PLAIN CRAZY.

A local down here named Stephen Alford got prison time for trying to extort money from Gaetz.

So basically because Gaetz was friends with pedophiles, their testimony against him isn't trustworthy enough to use against him? Brilliant. 

 

They better not give Gaetz's friend Greenberg a sweetheart deal if they aren't even going to use him to prosecute Matt.

Nah, I mean there IS credible evidence against Gaetz.  Just apparently not enough to prosecute a sitting US congressman who gets to play by different rules than the rest of society. 

There's a reason Gaetz pleaded with Trump before he left office to grant him a full, blanket presidential pardon.
