You do know that only one of the two was a proven child molester, right?

It's too bad he got caught when he did or he could have been President.

What always stuck in my craw was that as a wrestling coach in Yorkville he made very little but as a Representative he accumulated enough to be able to write a $3M check to a former student. How did he acquire that much to be able to come up with that

It's a mystery.

He made a lot of savvy land investments, including for a piece of exurban farmland that later was sold to developers for a $2+ million profit. Why were the developers so interested? The land was near property for a proposed "Prairie Park Corridor" interstate around the western edge of the Chicago region. And just months earlier, Hastert had inserted $207 million toward that project (which never came to fruition) in the Federal Highway Bill.
All a coincidence, for sure.

Kinda crazy that the GOP let a huge pedophile be in charge of the Republican party back in the early 00's.

Surely, they'd never do something like that again.

When the alternative is the Khmer Rouge of America, a few pedophiles running things is fine for some Scoopers

LOL!
Doom scrolling on Facebook this morning someone I know who's an independent posted an anti-Trump corruption meme and why they are voting team blue.  The first reply was a MAGA, "why do you want to live in a socialist communist society" and the retort was "that's not what I'm voting for and are really good with the obscene corruption?"

So unfair. Rape a few teenagers and some people will never stop whining about it.

I don't think they are capable of feeling embarrassment any longer.
