Sounds like Rep Max Miller (R-OH) needs the same treatment as Graham Platner, right?

Absolutely! It won’t happen. Like Jim Jordan it’s the, look-the-other-way politics from the right.
jimbasil 55093 postsPlatner should have been better vetted and this guy Miller should be in jail already.

Wrong headed post - Right headed you would have condemned his violence against his wife and child
jimbasil 55093 postsBut then - violence and extremely poor judgment are features of Republicans and the Republican Party.

I don't remember you posting this to Quest re Platner.
Seems like your outrage is driven by politics, not the crime.
What did Miller do, by the way?

Google it. It’s front page news.

First article indicates this is old news, and the allegations were already investigated.
That kind of undermine's Quest's point below.
Would you vote for Maine rape guy (Platner) or for the Maine incest guy? If so, I suppose you don't have a problem with Miller either.

Point is, who would vote for a known criminal to an elected government office.
jimbasil 55093 postsWe know for a fact D’s cull their bad apples while R’s give their criminals a pay raise and reelect them to office. And that’s a fact.

We know for a fact that D's make up all kinds of shit. Remember Kavanaugh?

Liar - D’s didn’t make it up, there were women accusing him of abuse. But you know that.

Heh. And I'm just calling out your hypocrisy.
Funny how your arguments work for you, but not for others. Perhaps you think logic is malleable...and therefore not really logic. That explains how you can believe what you believe.

You claimed you didn't have to worry about Platner b/c you weren't a Maine voter. Don't remember?
Now, you are worried about Miller, so I asked. Talk about getting butthurt.

You're not good at nuance. 1. Miller is already elected and in office
2. Again I'm not sure why I have to explain this but I'm playing up the MAGA hypocrisy.
One of the MAGA posters should've been the first to post about him to stay intellectually consistent.

You're not good at logical consistency (nor nuance). Your logic applies either way.
Using your logic, my reply of "I didn't know you were an Ohio voter" applies...unless you are changing your logic depending on the political circumstances.
It is safe to say that everyone here knows you are selectively applying your logic for political purposes.

We have a justice system to deal with sexual assault, and a principle of that is presumed innocent..
We have a justice system to deal with sexual assault, and a principle of that is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
Same thing I said about Platner.
The party/faction will decide whether to keep him based on his probability of winning. Just like the other party/faction.

Holding public office or a job is not the criminal justice system.
An accusation is an accusation. A pattern of accusations from different sources may heighten the credibility of the accusations or may just be a feeding frenzy.
Termination of employment based upon accusations can be grossly unfair and ruinous to one's reputation. Employers do not require much to terminate people, certainly not proof "beyond a reasonable doubt" that is scrutinized in a courtroom.
Public office is about public trust which ultimately is about the voters.
The House has its ethics committee to sort out accusations. Speaker Johnson has a habit of slow playing accusations involving Republican members because the caucus votes are more important to him, particularly in gerry-mandered red districts. Hold serve at all costs.

Miller won his district by 15 points in 2024. Should the safety of his seat matter to the House?
Franken won his Senate seat by 11 points in 2014. Democrats were uncomfortable with the groping allegations and made clear that Franken needed to resign.
If Miller's seat was a swing district (that GOP could lose), my sense is that Johnson would feel more political urgency to address the allegations.
Do you agree that allegations against a sitting member of Congress -- whether sexual assault, corruption, substance abuse, breaches of classified information -- be investigated with the same urgency and objectivity regardless of the safety of the seat?
That is, do you agree that the House of Representatives, regardless of which party has the majority -- owes a duty to the nation to protect its integrity?
