“unresponsive” to those demands. Gaetz wrote in the lawsuit that he told the committee in writing in May that allegations of sexual misconduct, illicit drug use, misuse of campaign funds and other actions were all false.

And how much you want to bet that this slimy, arrogant, piece-of-shit rapist won't serve a single day of jail time? Why? Because he's one of the elites. There's a different rule of law for the elites than there is for you or I. They get a pass, while we get bars. It's no wonder Luigi did what he did to the healthcare CEO. What recourse do we have when rich motherfuckers like this can do whatever the hell they want - up to, and including MURDER - without any repercussions? This society needs a serious enema.

Look, I'm just gonna say it: remember all those people pointing fingers accusing others of being part of a cabal of pedophiles? It was them who were the cabal of pedophiles all along. There's Mr Gaetz, squarely in the middle of all of it.

The rules are simple:

  1. If a large corporation wants you to do something, you probably don't want to do that thing.

  2. If a Republican is pointing fingers and shouting blame, they are the ones doing it.

Every accusation as a confession

I'll bet my entire 401K, if the return is good

point of order: the factual record indicates the payment was made to the child-prostitute's pimp, not the child-prostitute herself.

Bad Republican. Bad. Now promise to never ever do it again and sit quietly at your desk for the rest of the day and think about what you've done.

how did they find out? did he put the reciepts as payment for expenses for the department until they noticed his breakfast coke cost was $270 a day?
