This one feels like it isn't going to develop into anything. He had sex with prostitutes. We'll laugh at him because he's a hypocritical shithead, and maybe he'll have trouble with re-election (though I doubt it), but they're not going to take significant steps and the crimes here are relatively minor. As opposed to the other prostitutes he trafficked using government funds who were minors.

The woman in question here was an adult at time.

its also the house GOP loving hates gaetz for kicking off several embarasing shitshows, they want to burn his rear end and will if they can. not for the right reasons mind you but because "gently caress him".

This is the NYSCEF site for the case, and if there are reports that Engoron dropped his decision, it'll show up here so you can verify the ruling yourself. This is also the full docket for the case, minus appeals which have their own case files, so there are a ton of material here, including filings by various cranks that are completely ignored.

Disappointing that the judge isn't going to rule tomorrow but instead take it into consideration.

No matter how stupid a case may be, you still have to hear it and the evidence that can legally be presented.


My son and I were just talking about how interesting it is that Navalny was assassinated now. Putin's had Navalny under his thumb for so many years now, a tacit example of crossing him but keeping him alive as a toothless threat. Killing Navalny now may indicate that things are worse due to the Ukraine War, maybe there are cracks in his leadership and he was afraid one of his ministers would start propping up Navalny and his opposition.

maybe. I think it might be him just lashing out and leaving no loose ends. i do think putins power is sorta fragile and the second the ghouls around him find a better option, they will take it.

My gut is that Putin hasn't really left any viable alternatives around and cuts down anything that could even be perceived of as a "threat", mad king style. So there cannot be a "better option". The real party starts when Putin dies...

I suspect that it'll be pressure to have him not stand for reelection so they can give a definitive timeline on when he's leaving so that's not a weight on their collective necks but also preserving the tattered remnants of their majority for the rest of the Congressional session.

If there's photos and video it's gonna be hard to square defending Gaetz loving prostitutes with being outraged over Hunter Biden loving prostitutes, but cognitive dissonance is what I expect out of the modern GOP so who knows

Nah. There will be one agent assigned to the prison who will just watch video cameras with jail staff. He doesn't get someone with him 24/7 if he's locked up. The secret service has been very clear about this. That's the reason that he finally agreed to turn himself in when the first indictments hit. He was told by the secret service that they would not stop his arrest and would just facilitate it.
