So the guy who doesn't believe germs exist lied about sexual assault? Not shocked! I thought being a criminal was the minimum requirement to be in trumps government.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

which he failed to disclose during the vetting process.>
Wait. There is a vetting process???
Yeah, that part of the chat while they ate McDonald's, right after Trump asked him if he'd do anything Trump asked him to do, and right before Trump watched a highlight reel of Fox News clips. You know, the vetting process.
News Max*
Maybe Trump should stop picking people he met on epstien's plane.
"... this is the fucking Pentagon! … Even if the allegations are fake, it doesn’t matter because he was supposed to tell us what we needed to know so we could be better prepared to defend him — not learn about it from the media.”
They want to make the government small enough to drown in a bathtub and they can't even find police reports about a potential hire.
If the allegations were fake, he wouldn't have anything to tell them.
They are fine with a sec offender, they just wanted to be prepared.
Those FBI background checks looking pretty good right about now, eh?
Republican senators remain divided
the same senators that let the frat boy in?
the same party that let thomas in?
Yeah right what bullshit is this. His team cared about as much as the voting American public cares about Trump's rapes
Do they still think they can find a white guy in Trump's orbit who hasn't sexually assaulted someone?
Likely as not, to be honest. The "outrage" is media spin from the team. They all know. They just can't let on they know. Just like Project 2025
Didn’t the stable genius bypass the traditional vetting process recently? Lol
Why do they give a fuck about this specific one and not the rest?
Only thing I can guess is it's because he lied when asked, maybe? Some twisted loyalty thing?
WE DONT HIDE SEX CRIMES IN THIS HOUSE
That's right, we brag about how likely we are to do them in interviews! Especially when you're rich, then they just let you.
How can they be furious when they knew damn well what was up with Gaetz. Ridiculous. They are trying to act like they were caught off guard. Give me a break.
Trump is probably furious that Pete didn't let him in on some of that.
"We only only have so much room for sexual assault allegations, Pete!"
