Every time I see or hear about Matt Gaetz I think of Trump,

And how they are so similar. Both come from wealth and entitlement, both narcissist, both sexual predators, both Bragg about themselves, both serial liars, both abuse their powers, both enjoy hurting others, both incompetent, and both accused of being involved with child sex rings. I'm sure there's more, but when I see Gaetz I think of trump, and Gaetz will be in the news for a long time as this blows up a lot more.

From his girlfriend? He and she both seemed higher than a kite at the Republican convention. I know it won’t happen, but I’d love to see a tell-all about the Trumps from their SS guards.

8. I think of Junior

For all the same reasons, but Junior is closer in age than Senior AND I can't help but suspect that Junior might just be one of those "high profile Florida politico's" connected to the Greenberg - Gaetz sex and drug trafficking scandal mentioned in last night's reporting.

I'm just waiting at the bit for the reports to reveal the identities referenced in that investigation. My hunch is it's Donnie Junior.

It will all be hushed up as boys being boys but just consenting adults. They won't want to make ATM cash as financial structuring (but think of the future and anonymous crypto payments!!), so it will all get dropped. The dirt obtained in these sordid affairs are far too useful to the rich and powerful to either expose or end them. It would mean the loss of the means of control of people, their careers, and loyalties.

It sure would explain a lot too. I wasn't aware that Jr. had moved to Florida, he used to be based out of NYC while Chump was in office.

Desantis is positioning as the 2024 front runner. Super close with both Gaetz and Trump. When any swing voters think of Desantis by 2024, all they should see is Gaetz. Link them in every single ad as if they are the same person.

sexual predators but here we are, dealing w/ scumbags like gaetz and rump and their supporters who seem to think that this on the part of these two predators is fine, that they can let it 'blow' over, that all will forget, etc. Maybe the Senate and House should pass a new child protection law from the likes of self entitled a&&holes and pricks like these two, to ensure that this vulnerable section of our society is indeed protected by members of any state party or national party?

If one is indeed guilty of such, then nothing of the dithering and dallying around while they weasel their way out of it with their filthy mouths. Automatically dismiss them from either the House or Senate, while any state and/or federal charges still are applied. A higher, much higher standard of conduct should be applied and its obvious that these two in particular (gaetz and rump) don't think the law applies to them, or that a higher standard of conduct applies to them, when in fact, this higher level of conduct applies 1000% to them, supersedes all other modes of conduct.

We shouldn't even have to discuss such language, such laws of conduct, etc., when it should be a given automatically, but as one pointed out, these two are self entitled brats who think that they can get away w/ anything. Wrong.
