Full explanation Again, the reason Biden (illegally) raided Trump is because Trump declassified (via memo on 1/19/2021) and kept his personal copy of his Crossfire Hurricane presidential records. Biden, through his Deputy Counsel White House Jonathan Su, waived Trump’s claim of executive… https://t.co/Y4a6GLvYhP — 🇺🇸 Mike Davis 🇺🇸 (@mrddmia) April 12, 2024

Extremely concerning update: Since we published our exposé, the Social Security Administration stopped publicly releasing their weekly totals (re: voting registrations without a photo ID). They've been doing it since January 2011. Why did they suddenly stop now?

Why presidents do things? .... whims, ego gratification, to get back at people who diss them, who want to give favors to pals? Second, there's no proof he "hid" anything, and no law against it he did. Yeah, he may have hidden those secret documents but they belonged to him. He looted them himself. Finders keepers. Besides he's above the law.

China is boring, let me tellya about Stormy: Little donny was distracted from Chinese threat by Stormy. That's what made donny such a great President - he didn't waste time on boring shit. ..... According to the former CEO of AT&T, a meeting with Donald Trump over the threat posed by China to American telecom networks fell apart because the former president couldn't stop talking about adult film star Stormy Daniels. As explained in a new book from the New York Times' David Sanger, Randall Stephenson recalled that he was brought to the Oval Office in 2019 to discuss the growing threat, but instead met with a distracted Trump who spent the first 45 minutes ranting about Daniels and male and female relations. In Sanger's book, "New Cold Wars: China’s Rise, Russia’s Invasion, and America’s Struggle to Defend the West," which the Guardian obtained before its release, Stephenson said he made his appearance at the former president's request, only to hear a list of grievances before turning to the reason he was there, at which point Trump reportedly told him, "This is boring." As reported in the book, Stephenson told Sanger: "Trump burned up the first 45 minutes of the meeting by riffing on how men got into trouble. It was all about women and private planes, he claimed. Then he went into a long diatribe about Stormy Daniels, the former porn star who claimed she had had an affair with him. It was ‘all part of the same stand-up comedy act’, Stephenson later recalled … and ‘we were left with 15 minutes to talk about Chinese infrastructure.’” The executive admitted he "could see that the president’s mind was elsewhere," and made his escape after Trump's daughter Ivanka entered the room and the topic was changed. ( To how hot Ivanka was no doubt. ) The report comes just days before the former president will enter a Manhattan courtroom facing 34 felony counts related to paying "hush money" to the adult star before the 2016 presidential election.

'Matt sent this to me and you’re missing out': Gaetz allegedly showed colleagues nude pics

Even though the U.S. Department of Justice declined to pursue criminal charges against Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) last year, the House Ethics Committee is still investigating him. And a new profile suggests that investigation may soon intensify.

The Atlantic's Elaine Godfrey reported that, according to several of her sources, the Florida Republican sent explicit photos and videos of women to some of his colleagues in Congress. One video was allegedly of a young woman hula hooping while naked.

"Matt sent this to me, and you’re missing out," one unnamed Gaetz aide said, telling Godfrey that he watched the video from the back of a van along with another member of Congress.

According to Godfrey, Gaetz has a longtime habit of "bragging about his sexual conquests" that supposedly includes showing nude photos of women to his friends.

One of Gaetz's longtime friends, Erin Scot, recalled a time when she met up with Gaetz at a wedding in 2009 — prior to him launching his political career — and wanted to show him a photo of her girlfriend (Scot came out as lesbian to Gaetz when they were young, and she noted that she felt comfortable with him when he appeared unfazed at the news).

"[Scot] says that later, at the bar, Gaetz passed around an image of his own: a cellphone photo of a recent hookup, staring up topless from his bed," Godfrey wrote.

The far-right congressman allegedly took his public boasting about his hookups to a higher level after being elected to the Florida legislature in 2010.

Godfrey wrote that Gaetz and several Republican lawmakers are reported to have devised a "points" system in which participants scored one point for sleeping with a lobbyist, three points for hooking up with a lawmaker and six points for a married legislator.

The Washington Post reported in 2021 that Gaetz voted against a Florida bill to criminalize "revenge porn," which involves the sharing of explicit photos without the consent of the subject.

"Gaetz and his friends all played the game, at least three people confirmed to me, although none could tell me exactly where Gaetz stood on the scoreboard. (Gaetz has denied creating, having knowledge of, or participating in the game.)," Godfrey reported.

A source Godfrey described as a "former Republican lawmaker" corroborated other claims about Gaetz's propensity to share unsolicited details about his sex life. That source said Gaetz, "Used to walk around the cloakroom showing people porno of him and his latest girlfriend.

"He’d show me a video, and I’d say, 'That’s great, Matt.’ Like, what kind of a reaction do you want?" The source said.

And while Gaetz was once a close adviser to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, reportedly being the reason former President Donald Trump endorsed DeSantis' candidacy for his first term in 2018, he has since fallen out of favor with the Sunshine State's governor.

Political consultant Peter Schorch told Godfrey that Florida First Lady Casey DeSantis "hated all the sex stories that came out" about Gaetz and that the congressman was to be considered "persona non grata."

The House Ethics Committee's probe into Gaetz is ongoing, and will ultimately produce a report that could recommend an official censure motion or even expulsion, as it did with former Rep. George Santos (R-NY).

Gaetz denies all of the allegations the committee is investigating.

Bill, HAHAHAHAHA... you think U.S. Presidents should obey orders??? lol By the time he got the requests from the National Archives to return the documents, he wasn't president anymore. That's a fact that you seem to be having trouble accepting. Second, there's no proof he "hid" anything, and no law against it he did. The search warrant by the FBI uncovered 100 additional documents that were supposed to be returned. That's the proof. You're arguing that he had the power to declassify them after the fact "with the power of his mind." You seem to be inventing new laws. WTF is wrong with you. Nothing is wrong with me. You're the one who is blatantly denying objective facts. Tenchusatsu
