The fact that Matt Gaetz wasn’t forced to resign in disgrace for being a sex trafficker says all you need to know about the GOP.
The fact that he isn’t in jail for those same crimes says all you need to know about the justice system in this country as well.
The fact that Matt Gaetz wasn’t forced to resign in disgrace for being a sex trafficker says all you need to know about the GOP.
I can only assume by his continued presence his constituency in Pensacola FL appreciates having their own personal values being reflected in their representation. People of Pensacola, please demonstrate I'm incorrect by voting him out.
He's supposed to represent his constituents, right? Then I say we call everyone in Pensacola pedos and sex traffickers.
You talking about Pedsacola Florida?
It’s pronounced pedocoddle Florida, as long as he represents them.
Isnt Pensacola Florida where Kent Hovind is from? If so that would explain a lot about Gaetz.
Republican logic: "Sex trafficking of a minor? Fine if you're a Republican. Republican conducts major instances of fraud, including defrauding a veteran? Fine. Democrat pulls a fire alarm? He needs to go to prison immediately!!!"
And that other serial liar from NY.
You mean speaker of the house George Santos? The very same George Santos that singlehandedly stopped a government shutdown and rallied bipartisan support the likes of which have never been equaled in modern history?
Perhaps he was talking about George Santos's father, George Santos. You know, the one who dropped the atom bomb on Osaka.
Ugh. We never wanted that goddamn Cheeto. He's a new Yorker like Foxwoods casino is owned by native Americans: technically true, but so different that in actuality, not.
the GOP is fueled by disgrace
Matt wants to get back to his true passion project of owning teenage girls.
Also, is it just me or does he bear an uncanny resemblance to Richard Nixon in the picture?
Looks more like Butthead to me.
Why would you disparage Butthead in such a way? Blasphemer!!!
Ahuhuhuhuhuhuh huhuhuhuhuh
I was just about to post that he looks like Beavis and Butthead had a baby.
Omg he does look about 5 shots and some cottage cheese pineapple away from Nixon
And boys
GQP: rape murder and treason are fine, but if you so much as glance at a democrat, I’ll fucking end you.
Gaetz is an entitled aristocrat. Child of a politician and a total piece of shit as a human being.
I know most of you already know this, but maybe someone will learn something new today.
Wait, the guy who was caught fucking a teenage prostitute isn't a good dude?
but maybe someone will learn something new today
Probably includes no one in his district.

The party supposed to walk in lockstep no longer does, so any GOP speaker is destined to fail at this point.
I'm okay with that. Our forefathers assumed that the average person would vote to support their constituents. But instead, we got mofos voting against their own beliefs because "the other team" proposed it.
The Democrats only started playing the lockstep game after Republicans mastered it for decades. And honestly, people breaking rank and forcing bipartisanship and making concessions is what we are supposed to be doing.
What sucks about this attitude is that despite the clownshow of conservative PMs in Britain, the only thing more pathetic has been the political opposition. Hate hate to be a doomer, but it could go that way in the US too.
"Ack ack! Ack ack, ACK ACK!" -Totaly not a Martian slams House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
When you have people who don't believe in government or democracy in a democratic government you get neither government or democracy.
vote the bums out.
Does he know the job doesn’t come with children to molest?
Gaetz is just walking in the steps of Dennis Hastert
"No no no, wait, I never said I would take the job!"
But it looks it comes with excellent protection.
Well, Groomer Gaetz had better make sure he's keeping his nose very clean on the trafficking and the grooming front. He's making some very powerful enemies that are sure to leak something that will actually land him in very hot water and this time he might not get away with it.
What was the DOJ's dumb excuse for not charging him again
Was that child rapist Matt Gaetz that said that?
Do it, Beavhead.
You're going to cry like a baby when they vote you speaker.
I agree, but I don't think he'll have the support. It's orders of magnitude easier to be a thorn in the speaker's side than to do the job.
Also I see Beavis, Butthead, and a dash of Mr. Burns in this dingus caricature.

And there are probably so many cons just waiting for the right moment to shiv him in the back - drop just the worst incriminating evidence at the worst possible time for him.
anytime the batshit crazies want to attack another batshit crazy is okay by me. Watched KM on FaceTNation, harp about the wonderful things DT will do when reelected. get him nuttso!
These feltchlords should get a room already!
Arrest his ass for child fucking he has one in his house ffs. Surely the house speaker can hold that shit over his head unless in order to be a Republican you must do a child fucking ritual...
Huh, I forgot about that strange situation with his adopted son.
Prediction: Gaetz will ultimately fail
Yeah, I find it hard to believe the rest of the republicans want to go through that shit show again
Sure thing Wishmaster.
Isn't it Baader–Meinhof when you notice something a lot suddenly? I swear I have been seeing Wishmaster mentioned all over the last few days. Nice burn btw.
The Part of Fire moving to burn it all down rather than compromise.
