And right wingers are already out in force brushing it off, saying she cheated on her husband and then made up the assault allegation afterwards.

The fact that the nurse is the one that reported it kinda doesn't help that theory out very much. But, you know, "facts" ... don't exactly matter any more.

So if this was reported to the police and they investigated, why wasn't this brought to trial?

Going through the whole sexual assault charges can be very traumatizing for the victim and if they drop the charges it will not get investigated

He resigned his seat but won his election. I wonder if he'll claim his seat in the new term?

I don't like at all guy, but I wouldn't mind seeing him back in the R caucus of the House, simply because he's a bomb thrower and helps to ensure their caucus can't get anything passed.

Though, I also wouldn't mind the chance to flip the seat with a special election.

Well technically he resigned for remainder of the current term. But he may just take up Elmo’s offer and join DOGE

If people weren't so into politics like sports teams, it would have been easy to see that the choice of Gaetz was to actually fire and expel him from the House. It would eliminate him from influencing the House, not to actually have him become AG.

I doubt he's walking back his resignation. Those sex escapades are too damning.

This country as a whole talks a big game about punishing rape, but you don't have to look hard to see that it's mostly talk. Frequently gets turned into "akchually, this is your fault as a woman", or portrayed as a simple mistake or misunderstanding. Seeing the rate at which there's real consequences can make them question whether it's worth being put through the wringer, and the possibility of retribution for following through on it.

You all must surely realize that the second King Trump sets up an apparatus that lets you report your never-trumper neighbors to the authorities greenman is snitching on all of you.

I do but I think they're more afraid of getting snitched upon by their illegal alien neighbors who are flying Trump flags.

Yep seriously!

I don't know the legality of him resigning his current term and then claiming the seat in the next Congress but i would be surprised if that happened. Having him out and not returning gives House GOP cover to bury the Ethics report; if he returns there will be more pressure to release it.

He ends up in a position that doesn't require Senate confirmation or as a media person most likely.
