'That person is Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), far-right Freedom Caucus crusader and unapologetic Trump supporter, who is being rolled out to excite MAGA voters.'

other things is that the 2 people they would have had to call as witnesses were
really shaky. The underage woman and his partner in crime. Gaetz would go to
the hotel ATM machines to get cash for drugs and to pay some woman. The DoJ
had to drop the charges against him because of those 2 potential witnesses.

She is just waiting for dad to go.
Then she will swoop in with a media blitz and run for office.

MAGA remains primarily a cult of personality, and from what I've seen so far, Gaetz barely has enough personality to rizz himself, let alone an electorally-significant cult.

A proven formula for what GOP voters will want. Someone loud, obnoxious and outrageous and who knows how to tap their hate. Trump is an imbecile, but he understood the GOP base better than any of the other candidates.

I think there will be a power vacuum, with a giant sucking sound, when traitor is no longer available. Which I hope is soon :/
I had a thought since I posted. The rwnj might not win the White House and they may have big loses in the House and Senate. But there are way too many rwnj acting as judges, and we must try to mitigate the awful effect they have and have on women's rights, minority's rights, immigrants, education, taxes, gun control, the environment, reining in the bad cops and other concerns we post about every day.
