    Who will Florida elect? Will it be the naked fascist they know and love, or the “not charged” sex-trafficker-of-minors they also keep electing for some reason?

        Whatever Gaetz does, it needs to be frames as whatever vs predator!

    I really can’t believe that scum Gaetz still has political capital. I thought when you are accused of trafficking sexual minors it’s political suicide. Apparently not. We can do better than this but we just don’t want to.

      Only if you’re a democrat. If you’re a republican, they ignore it and cover up for you until they can’t anymore. Just ask Dennis Hastert or Gymnasium Jordan about that.

        A jury of his peers decided based on evidence that Trump is a rapist - but you barely even see mention of that anywhere.

    both as stern conservatives, but with Gaetz as a rebellious gadfly and Donalds as a more conventional hard-liner

    “Gaetz as a rebellious gadfly”???

    This is the guy who does whatever Trump wants him to do. At first blush, “rebellious” doesn’t seem to be a good fit for him. I guess he’s rebellious in the same way that the Confederacy was rebellious.

      I guess, “piece of shit sex trafficking gadfly” didn’t flow as well.

      Taking almost anything conservatives do seriously will often lead to these funny moments. Their entire thing is being on the wrong side of history over and over again.

      How? Florida has 1 governor and 28 house seats. Being the 1 is more prestigious than one of 28
