Yep, rapist and sex trafficker Matt Gaetz.
Kiddie connoisseur.
This got me thinking:
Would Epstein have been considered a kiddie sommelier?
One of them, certainly
Yes that Matt.
Child sex trafficker Matt Gaetz?
The very same!
How tf this rapist outta jail
Do you remember the Senator's pedophile son in Sin City? Well look no further than the literal Senator's son Gaetz.
Posted this last night:
He's my Congressman, been following this from day-1. Nothing is going to happen, or it already would have.
His dirtbag friend, who was supposed to roll on conviction, was convicted, and did not. The girl in question, 17 at the time, is now an adult with an OnlyFans site. Not a good look for the prosecution, and she refuses to testify.
If you were paying attention in NW Florida, Gaetz STFU real quick while under investigation. Suddenly, The Mouth from the South was at it again. He's safe. He knows it.
This "investigation" is another stab at him since he's been acting the ass. Maybe they got an angle on him this time, but don't hold your breath.
Sorry folks. He's skating this. The man is certainly guilty of far more than fucking a girl <365 days from adulthood, but we got nothing that sticks.
FYI, they have new witnesses & these don't come with the baggage of an OnlyFans account.

Maybe not for long.

Unfortunately that won't go anywhere
I read somewhere they had received testimony from another victim, one without an OnlyFans, but I have no idea if that was true or not.
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) told Newsmax that "for every Karen we lose, there's a Julio and a Jamal ready to sign up for the MAGA movement" in 2024.
Isn't this just racism and sexism directed at everybody? He just called white non-MAGA Republican women "Karens" while simultaneously using Hispanic names in a backhandedly insulting way.
Jamal is Arabic but yes
Well now.....you learn something new every day. Thanks for that.
(I work in a school district with an overwhelmingly Hispanic population. There are over 50 kids in my district with the first name Jamal and only one of them has an Arabic last name. Most of the others have Hispanic last names. I never knew the name was actually Arabic in origin.)
That's interesting too! I live in West Los Angeles and the only Jamal I know is Iranian. Looking online though, except for the murdered journalist Jamal Kashoggi, I'm seeing mostly Black sports stars. So, still racist, as expected.
Fortunately, Gaetz is rarely correct about anything.
Recap on what has occurred recently in consensual reality due to the #GOP rejecting women:
Nationwide, Democrats are beating polls by 9+ points at the ballot box since Roe v. Wade was overturned.
GOP has lost 13 of their last 15 special elections, even in "red" states.
State GOP groups are going bankrupt in an election year.
The unfortunate truth is, all that doesn't matter if the Electoral College utterly fails at its ONE job yet again and picks the loser. Republicans will userp power wether we want them to or not if that happens. They need to be treated as the enemies of the state they are, or else we're fucked.
all that doesn't matter if the Electoral College ~~utterly fails~~ succeeds at its ONE job yet again and picks the loser.
FTFY
They're supposed to protect from terrible leaders, not simply to pick the loser. Electing Trump was the perfect demonstration of how the entire concept is utterly and completely flawed.
He should've been able to win the popular vote and still should have been ignored by the Electoral College. Instead, the exact opposite happened. They're worse than useless.
The electoral college exists to subvert the popular vote whenever the choice of the rural minority is behind. It would have no reason to exist otherwise. It has no duty to "ignore" any outcome and nothing to do with the quality of leadership besides their ability to campaign to low density populations.
Yea, it's effectively a tool of disenfranchisement, but the point is it was pitched as a safety mechanism from the "dumb plebs", yet it has done the exact opposite.
It wasn't the plebs that put Trump in office. The point I'm making is it literally has zero upsides.
The point I'm making is it literally has zero upsides.
Then we're literally making the same point. There is no reason to argue here.

Nitpick: Nationwide polls don't matter. This race is again going to come down to a few tens of thousands of votes in a handful of swing states, and in those states, Trump is either much closer or actually in the lead.
You're missing the point. Their current polling for those places is also skewed.
The Michigan GOP is out of cash. Michigan is very much a purple/battleground state.
I really hope this is the death knell of the GOP. At this point, it needs to die. If our idiotic fucking political system was less focused on maintaining the two-party dynamic, that’d be great too, but at this point I’m just gonna call it a win if we can stop the Nazis from getting into office.
Yah I thought we were ready for a Bernie Sanders but turns out what we actually need at the moment is a call to the fire department to put out the dumpster fire

The article is a couple days old. Ironically Republicans interpreted his comments as a form of DEI and turned on him
Dei?
Diversity, equity, and inclusion. It's an overall banner for corporate initiatives to avoid being as racist and sexist etc as they have previously been.
This of course seen as a horrifying affront to a bunch of white men who formerly benefitted from the racism and sexism.
You can guess which party is on which side of the debate.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion
Why does he look like a wax sculpture of himself?
There's also a Julio and a Jamal ready for him in prison.
Because those are the names of "ethnic people." Am I right?
That's how you know he's not racist
Just look at that cunts face.... How can anyone vote for that.
The amount of propaganda that right-trash spews into S Florida is nuts. And those folks are pretty helpless against it as they cannibalize their own fairly regularly.
For every pedo rapist politician there is... Another one or more that are just as bad?
This is the one circumstance in which I'd be proud to be called a Karen.
I like how he thinks he knows women
He knows teenage girls. That's almost knowing women.

After 2020 and 2022, I'm just waiting for this sudden change of heart from traditionally strong Democratic demographics.. Seems like copium from Gaetz.
Copium: in 2016, Trump got 6% of black voters. In 2020, he got 8%. That's a 33% increase in just 4 years. Hispanic votes went from 28% Trump to 38%, so a similar 35% increase. With another 35% increase, he's on track to get a majority of Hispanic voters in 2024 and, I dunno, maybe 110% of black votes?
And yet, the the net-margin of victory widened between 2016 and 2020. Which speaks to fallacies of statistics and "doubling" of percentages of tiny numbers.
In spite of traditionally losing midterms because of lack of youth turnout, a 2022 midterm during terrible economic conditions still saw Democrats victorious over what was supposed to be a Red Wave.
Fair point on the Hispanic population, but: The key question when it comes to Hispanic voters is where that rise in support is. We know, for example, that Cuban-Americans in Florida overwhelmingly skew Republican; that doesn't particularly change the outcome. We know, too, that Texas state rhetoric has made inroads with the Hispanic population there who've now opted to shut the door behind them. But again, we never expected nor need much from Texas either. So it comes down to states like Nevada to see the impact of the remaining subset of the Hispanic population which yes, will be close.
