Marjorie Taylor Greene made a sensational allegation that her Republican colleagues in Congress have covered up “sexual harassment and assault claims” by paying off victims with taxpayer money.

The MAGA diehard made the revelation as a growing number of GOP politicians have expressed reservations about Donald Trump’s choice to appoint the scandal-scarred ex-lawmaker Matt Gaetz to be his attorney general.
“For my Republican colleagues in the House and Senate,” she began. “If we are going to release ethics reports and rip apart our own that Trump has appointed, then put it ALL out there for the American people to see.

I have heard of such a fund a few times over the years. The usual HR Harassment settlements are paid with Taxpayer money, lots of it as necessary to keep the matter quiet. Naturally who did what to who and the settlement amounts are a state secret.

Go for it, Marge. You’re a card carrying Congress critter. Surely you can get your hands on those reports and release them. Some of them are your own accusations, so certainly you can put those out for the world to see. Let’s get some government transparency.

Yeah this has been a thing for years.
Does anyone think Teddy Kennedy kept his hands to himself all those years?

Whoa, what was that? I swear a pig just flew by???

I agree with ges. Let it all out there and let the chips fall where they may. While we are at it, lets see Epstein's and P. Diddy's lists too.

Not at all! As far as I know, all CongressMEN have testicles, and rhe hormones that go with them.

But in recent years, accompanied by the right’s misbegotten emphasis on distorted “masculinity”, Republicans seem to have pulled ahead in the asshole department.

The top dog MAGA males are a study in testosterone run amok.

I’m with you Dope. Shame, SHAME, SHAME on the Democrats for appointing Ted Kennedy as the Attorney General. Shame!!!

What? They never appointed Ted Kennedy Attorney General?

Irrelevant. If fact I believe Biden will appoint Ted Kennedy as Attorney General later this week.

What? Ted Kennedy is dead? Who knew?

Anyway, that’s just a technicality.



You can’t fix stupid.

See, the hatred you marinate yourself has fried some of your memory cells.

You've forgotten a few democrats. Does one William Jefferson Clinton ring a bell?

Can't wait for Trump to release the Epstein files.

Irony. Thy name is progressive.

“If we are going to release ethics reports and rip apart our own that Trump has appointed, then put it ALL out there for the American people to see.

I don't mind that, but later, after we have dealt with trump's cabinet. Then Trump can have it all put in book with all the myths, innuendos, and implications and sell it to Dope and Jedi. We can post the fact checks here. Yes, we've had asshats and abusers in Congress, but it's a salacious distraction from dealing with the task at hand. And first up, we'll make up a ton of lies.

Trump can put pressure on or make compromises or trade to get his picks in, or out they should go, and I don't mind if it takes forever. His choice. That's the way it works.

In the meantime, how did 5 of 6 rockets get shot down? Or is that Putin BS?

I've said many times. I say it again.


RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES. DONT LET THE RULING CLASS BE PROTECTED.

I said same thing about the DC madam who "died" in jail when we were on TMF.

I believe Trump - like Clinton, Dersh, Bill Richardson and others----is on the Epstein list. Zero doubt.

You and I don’t count, Mike. We’re just partisan magpies cackling from the sidelines.

It’s the ones in Congress who seem to be doing the Bumfuzzle Two-Step

And Trump desperately hopes they don't.

Remember how when asked in an interview about releasing the 9/11 files, he quickly said yes; and when asked about releasing the JFK assassination files he quickly said yes, but when asked about the Epstein files he suddenly got tongue-tied and hedged his reply.

But maybe he is in a position now to control what gets revealed.

"You've forgotten a few democrats. Does one William Jefferson Clinton ring a bell?" - Dope

Uh, speaking of fried memory cells, you might want to look in the mirror. Clinton was never appointed to any office after sexual allegations came to light.

"Can't wait for Trump to release the Epstein files." - Dope

Trump isn't going to do that. You do realize that Trump spent more time with Epstein and new more about his escapades than every major Democratic politician right? Bueller?

"Irony. Thy name is progressive." - Dope

No one behaviorally project more than a nutter.
