1. Soon..please!

[Demovictory9]

55. +1

[msfiddlestix]

2. That is simply not soon enough

I feel like Gaetz is a political version a kin to a murderous mobster ..

very dangerous and needs to be incarcerated asap.

Not happening, probably ever. His father, the Governor of that State. What are the chances the DA's office handling the investigations isn't potentially corrupt? Should have happened already.

[rso]

5. Gaetz

He’s being investigated by the feds, any State of Florida influence he may have is irrelevant with the Federal authorities.

[msfiddlestix]

7. I feel like Ive seen this movie before..

Ill watch it again. maybe it will have a good ending this time.

[oldsoftie]

43. Aint that the damn truth nt

[PTWB]

60. From your concerns listed in your first post...

It seems you watched an entirely different movie and are confusing it with this one.

[msfiddlestix]

61. Different Cast of characters, same plot, same script, essentially.

the twists in the plots do vary, but the good guys are supposed to win, not the bad guys.

Now every movie seems to have flipped that part of the script to a significant ratio.



But hey it's not over, it just taking forever.

[mikeysnot]

3. We will know the end is near when

fox news starts putting a D in front of his name for party affiliation.

[SoonerPride]

6. hahahaha

[OMGWTF]

22. It's true -- Fux News actually does that kind of skeevy sh!t. All. Day. Long.

[leftieNanner]

40. They tried that with Mark Foley

The skeezy Florida Congressman who was hustling Pages and Interns.

He's a Republican, but Fox put a D next to his name.

[AZ8theist]

56. Yup, this:

AND IT WASN'T THE FIRST TIME FAUX NEWS DID THIS...

[leftieNanner]

57. I'm so impressed that you found this!

[AZ8theist]

59. Oh trust me, I was INCENSED when this happened...

..and got into an argument with a Reich Wing coworker who said this was due to "poor vetting"...

Yeah, right. "Poor vetting" ..maybe once, but Faux news did this multiple times. I told him it was REICH WING PROPAGANDA.
But you can't change the minds of Faux news simpletons.

I try to save all of these images because even people on our side tend to forget later on.......

[louis-t]

58. I've got the screen shots!

Foley, Lamarr, McCain, Sanford, Specter (before he was a Dem), Stevens-all were made honorary Dems by Fox.

[dawg day]

24. LOL-- that will be the sign.

It sounds like "Central Florida corruption" is also in focus. That Greenberg was so exceptionally open in his corruption. It's so clear that he ran for this little office simply to have the ability to cheat and grift, and he did. And Gaetz was his wingman or vice versa.

I'm waiting for an Epstein connection.

[Captain Zero]

30. I betting on him getting Epsteined at some point

I'm sure it will all be too depressing for him.
Wink. Wink.

[treestar]

51. Lol

I had forgotten that but you are right.

[Vinca]

4. As a rule I hate fireworks, but I might make an exception on perp walk day.

[LiberalFighter]

36. Will they be attached to him?

[padah513]

8. He doesn't strike me as the go it alone type

He's gonna give up somebody else as soon as he feels the cold metal of those handcuffs.

[azureblue]

15. he's a frat brat

through and through. And like all frat brats, when the $xxT comes down, they whine, deny, then blame others. He will for sure try to get out of it by squealing on others.

[smirkymonkey]

46. Yep, it's going to be a shitshow.

Can't wait!

[ProudMNDemocrat]

9. Kiss your freedom goodbye, Matty.

The evidence against him will nullify his playing the victim card..For no one was out to get him. This is on him.

[hamsterjill]

10. I'll believe it when I see it.

I’ve learned to be cynical where Republican criminals are concerned. I’m happy to be wrong.

[kairos12]

17. Agree.

With these guys the line from Law Enforcement is it’s bad conduct but prosecutors won’t take it because they are not sure they can win.

[MagickMuffin]

11. This is troubling: turning the 17yo into porn business

Sources said the probe into the congressman has ramped up in recent weeks. Investigators have started interviewing more women who were allegedly introduced to Gaetz through Greenberg, who last month pleaded guilty to sex trafficking a 17-year-old girl -- who later went on to work in pornography -- and introducing her to other "adult men." Since May, a new round of target letters and subpoenas in the wide-ranging investigation have been sent out, ABC News has learned.

Another avenue investigators have been focusing on recently, according to sources, are contracts that Greenberg handed out through the tax office totaling more than $1.5 million, which an independent audit late last year described as "unnecessary" and "considered to be a waste of taxpayer dollars," according to documents in the forensic audit of the tax office obtained by ABC News through a public records request.

I hope she can get away from these predators.

[Hekate]

39. "Troubling" is certainly one word for it

[BannonsLiver]

12. I'll believe it when I see it.

[IcyPeas]

32. ditto. we are always waiting.....

[Harker]

13. He can hump his 'My Pillow' pillow in prison. n/t

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

14. Matthew Gaetz is going to jail...going to jail...going to jail

Matthew Gaetz is going to jail
We are happy!

[Baitball Blogger]

16. I wonder if he was hoping to set himself up as the next Epstein?

People, like Gaetz, that walk into Florida's corrupt Libertarian style of thinking, only fall if something huge happens. I think we're there.

[Ferrets are Cool]

18. Tomorrow would not be soon enough

[ejbr]

19. He had a press conference

Recently in the Capitol. I believe it was after we found out his girlfriend is cooperating and obstruction of justice charges were in play. He looked so shook that it seemed to finally sink in that things might not go his way. I wish I could get a screen shot of that look of fear on his face. It was so satisfying seeing him in that state. Gave me goosebumps.

[dawg day]

28. Hey, no matter what, that Greene pustule lady will always invite him on her hate-tours

Ormaybe she'll have him set up a chapter in the prison. Plenty of white "supremacists" there.

Whenever I say, "White supremacist," I stop and think, actually, they are white inferiorcists.

They just want supremacy because they're so scared they're inferior (and they are--just look at Gaetz... failing up doesn't begin to describe it).

[ejbr]

45. Chef's kiss n/t

[Hekate]

41. I missed that. Sad. So sad.

[ejbr]

44. I have a feeling

we’ll see it soon.

[bucolic_frolic]

20. Sociopaths support sociopaths

He'll have lots of MAGAt sympathy.

[Jon King]

21. Joel Greenberg did not get his deal for nothing....

No way Greenberg got all those charges dropped and got a very good deal without having given up someone bigger like Gaetz.

[keithbvadu2]

23. Matt is being picked on. He's a victim, I tell ya!

Matt is being picked on.

He's a victim, I tell ya!

[nwliberalkiwi]

25. Presidental Pardon

August 19th the rightfully returning President will give him a pardon, and appoint him to the new Cabinet post of Morals. Rot in hell Gaetz!!!

[Paladin]

26. Gaetz paying for his sins? Suits me. (nt)

[SleeplessinSoCal]

27. What must his father think of him?

"Shortly after receiving his Master's degree, Don Gaetz worked in Jacksonville as a hospital administrator, and lobbied the legislature to create hospice care programs for the dying. In 1983, Gaetz founded VITAS Healthcare Corporation with a group of investors, which he later sold for nearly half a billion dollars in 2004"

I hope he is one more nail in the GOP coffin.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

29. Found this helpful article . . .

How ‘Papa Gaetz’ tells you everything you need to know about Matt Gaetz

Want to know how Matt Gaetz became who he is today? Just look at his father.

https://www.politico.com/states/florida/story/2021/04/17/matt-gaetzs-daddy-issues-1375630

[IcyPeas]

34. interesting article. quite the history

his father must be embarrassed by matt. he seems to be always cleaning up after him.

“Don has a lot of power and friends in Florida politics,” one Florida political operative said, speaking on condition of anonymity so as not to anger the elder Gaetz. “There are a lot of people who owe him favors. They are repaying those favors by staying silent about his son.”

[PatrickforB]

31. What a dirt bag. God...

[BootinUp]

33. Take him down! Nt

[Maraya1969]

35. Gaetz has a criminal face to me. I always look at it as if I am going to do some

facial reconstruction. His eyes are too close together - beady if you will. His forehead is too big and his mouth turns down.

Maybe that sounds terrible but his face has bothered me ever since I first saw it. It is were someone different it would be fine. But with him it looks kind of evil or something.

[Hekate]

42. Here's how I think of faces: it's all in the expression, not the features, & sometimes the tells ....

….are tiny. When the tells are little, the effect can be subliminal, as in, “I try to not be judgmental, but something about Matt really sets my alarms off.”

Matt Gaetz is the fresh-faced, frat-boy, sociable, rich daddy, slimy version of “something’s wrong here.”

[smirkymonkey]

48. +1000

Totally getting the same read.

[Joinfortmill]

37. This guy is going to fall hard.

He thinks he's invincible.

[peggysue2]

38. Poor baby!

But when Fox decides to throw you overboard bc of the risk factor, your days are numbered.

Bye-bye, Matt!

[USALiberal]

47. He will be out on bail. nt

[marble falls]

49. Great news. So hows Gaetz and MT Green's little freedom medicine show going?

[Snackshack]

50. The GOP

Is going to sacrifice him at the alter of accountability and say look we are a law & order party. What more do you want.
