A nice start to the holiday week for the ever-execrable Matt Gaetz. In essence, the House Ethics Committee found that Gaetz was guilty of sexual misconduct, statutory rape, doing drugs, and violating House rules of accepting gifts — but Preacher of the House Mike Johnson, good Christian that he is, tried to suppress the committee's final report.
No dice. The committee voted to release the report a few weeks ago, marking it for as early as today, and then it leaked this morning before Gaetz could file a lawsuit to stop it. (Which he did, but incorrectly. This is the guy Benedict Donald wanted as AG?)
Johnson, in particular, has icky goo all over his hands on this matter. "I think it's a terrible breach of protocol," he bleated when he was still trying to squelch the report. The question journos should as him is: Does trying to bottle it up mean you endorse Gaetz's behavior? Johnson can't claim he hasn't read it — a favorite Republican dodge — because he expended so much political capital trying to keep it secret.
The GOP is not just the racist party, the insurrectionist party, and the anti-rule-of-law party, they're also the child rapist and druggie party. Someone should do a count of how many perverts, dope fiends, pedophiles, sexual abusers and felons were featured speakers at this year's Republican Convention. We cats HISS.
(P.S.: Dark Brandon was at it again today, driving the GOP mad with 37 commutations of federal death sentences. We took a quick look at the list of commuted inmates, and most of them were from Southern states. We assume most of them are people of color. They're not good guys, but at least Team Trump won't be able to go on a killing spree next year. It's particularly delicious that Biden left synagogue killer Robert Bowers, Mother Emanuel murderer Dylann Roof, and Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on Death Row. Good work, DB. We cats PURR.)
