(4,178 posts)Duck Gaetz
That was horrible!
Kid Berwyn
(14,876 posts)There are credible reports Daddy Gaetz, the Florida puke, got sonny Gaetz out of a DUI and the murder of a college roommate.

(51,308 posts)I cant stand Gaetz, but that rumor was started by a conspiracy theorist.
Kid Berwyn
(14,876 posts)His word selection as evinced by his public remarks also are revealing. He certainly seems to know a lot about rental car return and police reports.
Personally, I have not heard Gaetz discuss either the DUIs or the death of his roommate. And I have yet to hear or read anything that would exonerate him. Until then, Ill state what I think.
cwydro
(51,308 posts)Despite the fact that Snopes has debunked that?
Very nice.
Kid Berwyn
(14,876 posts)Theyre owned by a for-profit company. As such, they side with money and power. Look into their work with Monsanto and endocrine disruption.
As for Wayne Madsen, you brought him up. So, show where hes wrong.

But by all means, keep promoting fake news. That kind of thing does our side no good at all.

(14,876 posts)Gohmert calls Special Counsel Mueller, anal opening.
And you want me to be nice to Adam Gaetz. Good strategy not.
cwydro
(51,308 posts)But I trust DUers to check sources. Using the orange shitstain to justify posting utter falsehoods is really setting a low bar, doncha think?
Madsen is a Birther who has claimed President Obama is gay, among other things. I could go on, but DUers are intelligent enough to look him up and make their own decisions.
You choose to believe a Birther - hey, thats your lookout.
Btw, who in hell is Adam Gaetz?

(14,876 posts)So does Mother...Jones, that is:
But if anyone is responsible for Gaetzs rise to political fame, its his dad, whose deep pockets and even deeper connections in Florida politics are one reason Matt is known in his district as Baby Gaetz. Matt would be an assistant manager at Walmart if it werent for his father, says Steven Specht, a Democrat who ran against Gaetz for Congress in 2016.

(19,193 posts)dream about being an assistant manager at Walmart. That's probably why they love him so. You'd think people without much in life would show some disdain for someone like Matt Gaetz, but you'd be wrong. They adore him.

(14,961 posts)This district is home to 8 military bases, why they chose him, is beyond me.😔
SergeStorms
(19,193 posts)than Daddy's money. Republicans always attract the military vote, although I don't know why. I guess it must be the unbridled military spending republicans love so much. They're the first to put service-people in harms way, too. I could never figure it out. You'd think the military would respect truth and honesty in their CiC.
dewsgirl
(14,961 posts)but yes he agrees, the military spending is what keeps the military on their side. He has been very excited about this ridiculous Space Force program, I told him ETTD is a very real phenomenon, he knows.
SergeStorms
(19,193 posts)would be a very big draw for young people in the Air Force. Being on the cutting edge of a new branch of the Armed Forces must be very appealing. Whether it will "make the cut" in a Democratic administration remains to be seen. The old "guns or butter" adage still holds sway in Democratic circles. Sooner or later there has to be limit to our spending for war and preparation for war. With the DoD budget closing in on one trillion dollars a year we must be nearing the edge of that envelope. At least I'd hope so.
dewsgirl
(14,961 posts)President will want anything to do with this? Apparently several countries already have these programs, including Australia, Canada, China, France, the UK and of course Russia. He left me wondering, why on earth we didn't do it sooner?

(6,448 posts)One rumor on Rubio was that the police caught him having intercourse in a car with a known drug dealer (male) named Angel.
I probably should have started that with the "People are saying..." phrase that Trump uses.

(36,023 posts)should have been pandered to this way. It's creepy, and a few resisted. None of them should have had to experience the smiling smartass soulless meanness that is Matt Gaetz.

(I know, I know, it would be 2 weeks before anyone, including him, noticed the difference).
Kid Berwyn
(14,876 posts)Epoxy wig makes the ideal metaphor, for both Gaetz and the Captain need to be remembered for what they are: grinning fascists.
Then, theres the Caudillo of Merde-pal-Loco...
