@GlennMG How do such #nefarious scum the likes of Gaetz get to become a sitting member of #Congress in #America? How many more such pests remain? #dysfunctionalDemocracy #corruption #LawlessGop
"Matt Gaetz regularly paid for sex with upwards of $90,000 while he was a sitting member of Congress, the #ethics #committee also found that at the age of 35, Matt Gaetz had sex with underage girls, #lied about it, and was found to have violated Florida’s #laws against statutory #rape"
@Wileymiller I was about to reply with more, then you used part of my response as your last sentence. #lawlessgop

Disrespect for the law is spreading from #TFG & MOC to state legislators. Many Republicans now believe #J6 insurrectionists are pol prisoners & that LE officers who don't support TFG, shouldn't be respected.

On Wed, several Republicans in the PA House walked out of the chamber when 2 US CAP officers were being honored.

The officers honored were Sgts. H Dunn & A Gonell. Both defended the Capitol bldg on J6. St Rep Kenyatta reported some Rs booing & hissing.

Ruth Ben-Ghiat issues a warning:

"Folks, these people thirst for autocracy and are already acting as a shadow government. So of course they embody what I call "the upside-down world of authoritarianism." Rule of law becomes rule by the lawless, criminals are heroes, patriotism is replaced by nihilism, etc."

Upside-down🇺🇸s, Other RW & #ChristianNationalism🚩s... are un-American & seditious.

R leaders are fascist & lawless:

“I do technically have a primary." -AG Knudsen -when asked who was running agst him. “However, he's a young man who I asked to run against me bc our campaign laws are ridiculous.”

He faces dozens of professional misconduct allegations.

In 2021: ordered Lewis & Clark Co ATTY to dismiss concealed carry weapons charges agst a man who allegedly threatened a restaurant mgr trying to enforce MT's Covid mask mandate.

Montana's attorney general said he recruited token primary opponent to increase campaign fundraising

Montana's attorney general told supporters he skirted the state's campaign finance laws by inviting another Republican to run against him as a token candidate in next month's primary so he could raise more money for the general election. The Daily Montanan obtained the recording and reported Austin Knudsen made the statement during a May 11 fundraiser in Dillon. Knudsen declined through a spokesperson to comment on the recording. The Montana Democratic Party filed campaign finance complaints against Knudsen and his opponent, Logan Olson, alleging they worked together to allow Knudsen to raise more money. Knudsen’s senior campaign adviser called the complaint against Knudsen frivolous.

Republicans believe they're above the law, & for many, it's true, e.g.:

"Conservative activist Leonard Leo said on Thurs that he will not comply with a subpoena from the SJC, which is investigating undisclosed travel & gifts to SCJs Clarence Thomas & Samuel Alito.

The Dems would have to hold a full Senate vote to enforce the subpoena & are unlikely to be successful. Durbin said he sent the subpoena bc Leo has refused to cooperate with the CMTE’s inquiry."

Leonard Leo Rejects Senate Judiciary Subpoena on SCOTUS Gifts

He claims the Senate committee’s inquiry into undisclosed gifts to justices is “politically motivated.”

Brazen lawlessness:

Electing #TFG would irretrievably mar our constitutional system. His support of #J6 criminals should demolish the notion that TFG & MAGA followers “stand with the blue” or rep. the “law & order” party. Facing trial himself for: J6, he wants to let out of jail the foot soldiers he enlisted to attack democracy.

It should still sicken Americans that someone running for chief exec. continues to embrace lawbreaking & promises to reward it.

GOP pol leaders don't respect for the law & Const:

"N Dist. of TX -area Rs have been accused of filing lawsuits to judge shop -said: will not follow a new advisory rule about random case assignment.

Fed judges in N TX say they plan to ignore a new advisory rule meant to crack down on “judge shopping” or the practice of filing lawsuits in places where ATTYs are likely to get a fav. ruling."

Sen Cornyn/other top Reps urged judges not to comply with the rule. #LawlessGOP https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/north-texas-federal-judges-say-theyll-ignore-new-rule-aimed-at-curbing-judge-shopping/ar-BB1kXBg4?ocid=socialshare
