    As the article states, the inclusion of the nudes in the newsletter allows a very clear path for criminal charges in D.C. and Georgia under their respective revenge porn legislation. She should receive charges for both.

    In any sane world, a member of congress would be immediately expelled for presenting literal nudes, without permission and in bad faith, of a sitting POTUS’ family member, who is not, nor has ever been a member of the administration or government employee.

    Congratulations to Vladimir Putin and the CCP, as your work to dismantle the U.S. through propaganda and mainstreaming batshit tinfoil-hat insanity through promoting these ridiculous, unserious elected officials like Greene, Paul, Jordan, Comer, Gaetz, Santos, et al, has been incredibly effective.

            Billionaires aren’t really citizens of any country. They’re kind of small nations unto themselves.

      Wouldn’t it be neat if she faced consequences for her actions, instead of the US working overtime to make sure potheads do as much time as they possibly can before they’re finally forced to admit they lied about pot

          Or, alternatively, his rich and powerful father used his connections to pressure anyone who could testify to rethink the consequences of their actions. Because rape is okay if you’re rich and white.

              Wait was he charged with bringing a minor across state lines to have sex with them, or was it tax evasion?

                There’s been plenty of evidence that Hunter is creep with minors, just like his daddy creepy Joe. According to this sub, you have to prove innocence, so where is the proof that Hunter didn’t?

          Having the prosecution recommend not pressing charges isn’t exactly the same thing as the crime literally not happening. That’s a bit of an assumption.

          If I can make at least 3 assumptions, based on what you’ve said here, do you think OJ was a murderer?

          Your link does not support your claim that it never happened. It does not even address the question of whether or not it happened, the quality of the evidence available, or the reasons why charges were not recommended. You are clearly reading into this article. Why? Bet you don’t even know.

            According to the article the supposed witnesses were garbage. Even the prosecution thought their testimony wouldn’t hold up in court.

            Somehow I have to prove a negative, to prove innocence, and yet somehow the parent commenter can make unfounded accusations without proof and be considered legit, worthy of updoinks? You people are in a delusional echo chamber. What a joke of a forum this is.

    Unfortunately if Matt Gaetz, who actually trafficked and had sex with a minor, is anything to go by, this will hardly shift the needle.

    So Republican men are obsessed with penises, and apparently Republican women are as well.

    Democrats should be turning the GOP into a laughing stock with this situation. Making some innuendo jokes about “like father like son” to imply that Joe is hung like a horse, or make some jokes implying MTG isn’t getting any at home, so she’s lusting after some Democratic sausage. Basically make it very humiliating for Republicans to continue to push this issue.

    Unfortunately, as usual, I just don’t see them doing it. There might some jokes being made online, but Democrats as a party don’t seem to really be attacking the GOP on this with dirty, underhanded attacks.

      Effectiveness of this suggestion hinges on Rs having shame and/or decency. It’s almost prerequisite to not have such a thing to get voted in.

        Republicans only represent 1/3 of the public. If 2/3rds of the public is laughing at them, that’s more than good enough.

          In the early 20th century the KKK went into sharp decline due to an exposee on their initiation practices, and suddenly the (white) public found them to be a really silly group of frat boys rather than a serious organization to ever consider being recruited to
