Well you know what they say - Missouri loves company

When we first moved here that was our bit. "You know why the locals pronounce it Missourah? Because it'd be too easily confused with Misery."

I'll believe it when I see it... provided he paid with his own funds, not campaign funds, there's nothing there to really kick him out over, is there?

Would love to see McCarthy lead the charge on expulsion, though.

[skullman80]

Yeah I don't see what you can expel him for if he paid for it with is own money and the girls were of age. He's a creep no doubt, but I'd like to see more evidence than that.

The actual article said the sex was consensual, and people did drugs at the parties....so not much? I was expecting much more in the article with the headline on the twitter article, but its not really there.

[willeyeam]

that's still illegal thought right lol

[MR25]

Illegal for those of us on the board but probably not for sitting congress people

[skullman80]

Maybe? I dunno all the grey area's on that stuff to be honest. Getting paid to go on a trip that sex happens on (even if that is the point) isn't the same as just meeting up and paying someone to have sex in the law's eyes is it? Maybe it is. No clue what the actual laws are on that.

I totally think the dude is a creep and more than likely has done illegal acts with underage girls so he deserves to rot, I just don't know if what is presented in that article is enough to do anything.

[NTP66]

Remember when Al Franken resigned due to pressure over a photo?

[Troy Loney]

that's still illegal thought right lol

yeah, unless it was in Nevada

[count2infinity]

Remember when Madison Cawthorn blew the whistle on hookers and blow at GOP parties? Then he got run out of town? Hiring a hooker is nothing for these freaks.

[King Colby]

Legalize prostitution

[willeyeam]

This might hurt

Did he ever say "GOP parties" specifically? He was asked how close "House Of Cards" was to real-life, and he just said he observed that stuff "in Washington". I don't remember how granular he got with his vague assertions. lol

[King Colby]

This might hurt

Is that a lot?

[count2infinity]

I don’t know if he did. I know the GOP leadership ran him out of town, so you do the math.

[King Colby]

Maybe they're just anti-Pirate?

Edit: oh that's Dan Crenshaw nvm

[MrKennethTKangaroo]

I still side with trump on the civil case. Those charges were a nothing burger and the information he provides for values of his real estate means diddly poo to bankers, assessors, etc.

So then where does the $350m come from

[tifosi77]

Trump (and the NY companies he controls) -- $354.9 million
Eric and djtjr -- $4 million ea
Allen Weisselberg -- $1 million

- Trump cannot be officer or director of any NY business for 3 years, Eric and djt jr barred for 2 ea, Weisselberg 1 year
- Ongoing oversight over the businesses, w independent overseer of the company’s activities

That seems like a lot of diddly poo. Like, a lot. But I am not a diddly poo expert, so I'll defer.

[tifosi77]

Also Trump’s fundraising ops spent around $50 million on legal fees over 2023. Nearly $20 million of that for the lawyers that rep'd him in this fraud case.

Knowing that his sheep have spent that money, this makes me laugh out loud.

[NTP66]

They’re gonna need more donors.

[nocera]

He won’t pay a dime.

[NTP66]

His cult will.
