So you're saying that no matter what position you work in for the federal government, after 5 years of service you can retire with full pension and benefits? There's no way that's true. Do you have a link for that because I've never heard of that before and every person in the US would be applying for federal government jobs.

It a disgrace for the GOP, but it does not matter practically, we all know it is going to be leaked.

Maybe, but if it's leaked then rage can simply be directed towards the leaker not Gaetz.

It is however a clear indication as to the lack of Republican resistance to Trump and IMO a wake up call to those expecting some sort of moderation from the adults.

I would guess that for any US civil or public servant the situation is going to be similar to mine within the Irish civil service, you have to have 40 years service and be of pensionable age to get a full employment pension. The only likely exception is going to be members of emergence or defence forces subject to mandatory early retirement.

I agree. As shown before, they are scared to death of his displeasure. They know what a petty, vengeful man-child he is. They are completely in his pocket and he knows it.
 
So the house ethics committee has reversed itself and decided to release the Gaetz report soon. In attempting to get in front of it, Gaetz posted this bizarre tweet...

I remember a time when it would be a major scandal for an elected representative to use the F word in public. Now that's only about the 5th most bizarre thing in that tweet. Its amazing how far public discourse has fallen in a mere couple of decades.
 
Sigh, remember the olden days when government was run by true gentlemen, who knew to pay their young ladies (and lads) generously, on time, and without fuss? Ours is a civilization in decline.
