    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.

      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.

            It’s pronounced pedocoddle Florida, as long as he represents them.

      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!!!”

        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.

    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?

    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.

      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.

          There is no way the average American will ever be able to comprehend anything more complicated than “my tribe” vs “not my tribe”

          Also ranked choice voting got NYC Mayor Eric Adams. The election took way longer than it should have and they ended up with the "centrist"candidate that should have never gotten elected and disappointed both sides

      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.

    When you have people who don’t believe in government or democracy in a democratic government you get neither government or democracy.

    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.

      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.
