Has trump effectively removed any moral standards required to serve the people?

Why did he nominate someone who is under investigation for sex trafficking? Are we to believe there are no more qualified candidates among Repubs?

There's probably some game afoot with this.
Gaetz knows he's not going to make it, Trump knows it.... The Republican Senate knows it.
What the angle is? I don't know. But then again I didn't think Lauren Boebert had a snowball 's chance in hell of being reelected.
 

Woman told House Ethics Committee she saw Gaetz have sex with minor, her lawyer says


A woman told the House Ethics Committee that she saw Matt Gaetz, who is President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for the U.S. attorney general, have sex with a minor, her lawyer said Friday.

“My client testified to the House Ethics Committee that she witnessed Rep. Gaetz having sex with a minor at a house party in Orlando in 2017,” Joel Leppard said.

Gaetz, a far-right Republican U.S. representative, resigned from Congress on Wednesday after Trump announced plans to nominate him for attorney general, has denied all allegations of sexual misconduct.

Leppard said the woman he represents testified before the House Ethics Committee in April.

He said he represents two witnesses who have provided testimony to the committee regarding Gaetz.

“The American people deserve to know the truth about the person slated to become the top law enforcement officer in the country” Leppard told NBC News.


Reagan broke the unspoken prohibition of a divorcee running for the presidency. Since then trump has shattered any semblance of it. He stole money from a charity, is a convicted criminal, is twice criminally indicted, twice impeached, a two time divorcee, a 26 time recipient of sexual abuse allegations, was found financially accountable for sexual abuse (rape by federal statute), stiffed investors in his casino biz, and was sued dozens of times for failing to pay money he owed to small contractors. He can fairly be described as morally bankrupt.

So here's my question.

If this testimony is accurate...“My client testified to the House Ethics Committee that she witnessed Rep. Gaetz having sex with a minor at a house party in Orlando in 2017,”.........does it matter to the Repubs who voted for trump that the potential future AG had sex with a minor? Are traditional moral standards a thing of the past if the politician in question is in your tribe?
No, morality was removed from congress a long time ago
 
Are Clinton's extra marital affairs an equivalence to this?

He stole money from a charity, is a convicted criminal, is twice criminally indicted, twice impeached, a two time divorcee, a 26 time recipient of sexual abuse allegations, was found financially accountable for sexual abuse (rape by federal statute), stiffed investors in his casino biz, fucked a porn star and paid her for her silence weeks before the 2016 election, and was sued dozens of times for failing to pay money he owed to small contractors.

I'm not even mad. :laughing0301:
 
And the Party of God gave a big nod to appeasing sin.
It was Godless libs who pushed the separation of church and state

So its too late for dems to hide behind fake morality now
 
First of all..... This is a confirmation that's not going to happen. Trump isn't stupid and I am pretty sure he knows that.

Secondly all this stuff is still in the accusation stage with Gaetz. Anyone can make an accusation.

As far as Trump is concerned yeah.... he's a down and dirty New York City businessman.
However nobody takes the convictions seriously.... For obvious reasons. Rich and powerful Man are constantly the target of sexual accusations. Trump is no different.

Impeachment is no different than accusation....It means nothing especially when it's 100% politically motivated.

Now as the some of the other things..... You do raise some legitimate questions and concerns.
If you are a republican, youi can count on at least two or three meritless accusations of something. The me too movement showed us that they'll buy someone to go back 30 years to slander someone they don't like.

No, that was Clinton.

When a President gets away with behaving -- every single freakin' day -- in a way for which we would scold our children, yeah.

When much of a major world religion, and its leadership, sells its soul to such a person for political gain, yeah.

The question is whether we can recover any of our fundamental decency when he's gone. I won't be expecting it.

We don't know any of that.

His near immediate resignation of his seat in congress is an interesting move, though.

The speculations are all over the map...From this being a gambit to put him in the Senate, to a mass recess appointment spree, to this being a really serious pick....Nobody but Trump knows.

There were always rumors of Presidents and dalliances. Clinton was known before he ran for President and even talked to the people on TV about it in his way of talking. He became accepted due to Ross Perot running. He betrayed the people with the dalliance with Monica Lewinsky in the White House. Most likely there were more. Anyway, Clinton set the standards.

Clinton took 26 trips on the Lolita Express with his friend, Jeffrey Epstein. He did a 3 day junket around the world with him after he ditched his SS. There are pictures of Clinton being massaged by the very underage girls that Epstein peddled and good old Bill was seen on Epstein island. Then of course we have this, found in Epstein's den in his NYC home:

Democrats treat Clinton like a beloved, kind and masterful former POTUS. He is regularly honored by democrats and Kamala used him extensively as a surragate just this past election. He had an esteemed speaking spot at the DNC this summer.

I'd bet democrats see no problem with him serving in anyone's cabinet.

It's kind of hypocritical of you all, eh?

Giving these reprobate assholes the time of day when they're squealing about "moral standards" is pointless.

He never was charged.

Yes. It doesn't even matter to Christians, anymore.

I would ask you to consider the fitness of a prez-elect who is playing games with a nomination as consequential as filling the AG's job.
