"Rep. Gaetz can leave his beauty bag at home. In Wyoming, the men don't wear make-up."







For the record, I would not give two shits about Gaetz wearing make-up or carrying a beauty bag IF...IF...he was a morally decent and honorable Republican (rare aren't they ?) or a Democrat or at least an honorable person in politics. He is NOT any of those. He is a seditionist-backer and liar.

crossed with a young Billy Graham. The pompadour enhances the the rural, southern, Anglo-Scots, "real American" look: the people who settled in the mountain areas of what is now Kentucky and Tennessee back in the early 1800s, and haven't gotten the word that the Civil War is over. Trump's core, basically - Gaetz is trying to appeal to them in hopes of becoming the heir presumptive.

Or he's really into rockabilly and the whole 50s country thing.

homophobic statement?

edited to say: I would much rather she used something like this, rather than a statement about men wearing makeup.

Said Gaetz: “Some of the people who breached the Capitol today were not Trump supporters, they were masquerading as Trump supporters and in fact were members of the violent terrorist group Antifa.”

many, many little booze bottles. The "beauty" is that after seven or eight of them in a row, everything is beautiful!
