This shit right here is why the US is a complete joke. This sex trafficking and rape by Gaetz has been known for a loooonnnnggg time. He also had a DUI incident that Daddy’s money made go away.
Two levels of legal systems — one for the affluent/privileged and one for the plebeians. Rapist Gaetz still holds his office, Mr. subpoena ignoring Jim Jordan still holds his office, rapist and career criminal Donald Trump is the GOP’s vaunted nominee.
And every time we get someone on the hook as a ring leader (Epstein) or a reporter with information on the blatant corruption of our economy (Panama Papers|Daphne Anne Caruana Galizia) they end up dead and media coverage of the investigations go dark.
Then the people involved keep the noise to a minimum and the issues get swept away in the current of The Algorithm™.
Anyone who sees has been disenfranchised of the old avenues that assisted organizing local support networks that facilitated engagement in direct action. From the erasure of third spaces, to the oppressive cost of living, to the corporate controlled media, workplace culture to avoid "talking politics"(i.e. please don't unionize against the owners), and aggrandizing of unhealthy work-life-balance as something to be proud of instead of angry at, etc, etc, etc....
The US owning class has its workers by the balls. They spent decades building a paradise of exploitation. Every small gain we fought for to be slowly undermined by subversive powers turning us against each other and our own interest.
And his followers won’t give a shit. That is the state of the GOP. As long as he is a Republican, that’s all that matters.
I don't care what his followers think, why can't we find a prosecutor who gives a shit?
In Florida?
At this time of year?
In this economy?
Oh they give a shit. They idolize him for it. They wish it was them who got to party with that underage girl.
Some do.
I don't think many really like Gaetz much. I think it's more like the other person said - they just dont give a shit. They either ignore - or choose to ignore or dismiss - this shit, or they just have absolutely no goddamn morals. At all. That last one has been gut-wrenchingly true.
Matt Gaetz
Date rapes
By the seashore
So I would say that like gates? I never knew or cared enough to figure out how to pronounce his last name
Correct.
I mean . . . Yeah. We know.
He's an a elected official. He just needs to stay that way long enough to outrun interest or any statute of limitations.
Because the DOJ is principled.
These are the "family values"...
gaetz has sex with kids
vance has sex with couches
trump is impotent, but sweatily presses it up against jigsaw's taint until he hyperventilates.
GOP is a battle of the Turds. This turd vs the Orange turd vs the Couch turd.
I was rooting for him until the last three words of the headline.
It's so close. If only the GOP could produce one politician who merely had a history of going to wild consensual drug-filled sex parties. But no, there always seems to be freaking children involved. What the fuck.
Also, fuck cocaine. Fuck people who take cocaine as a party drug. Fuck people who think it only hurts themselves. it has fucked up an entire fucking continent and caused immeasurable damage. And everybody knows it. Drug cartels are financed by the consumers, and the users are smug rich people who have every reason to know better. It's not even an interesting drug.
Fuck yourself up with synthetic stuff, eat shrooms or lick toads, grow as much weed as you can possibly manage. I don't give a fuck. But cocaine... Nah, fuck that shit.
Thinking only smug rich people do cocaine is such a wild take that I don’t even know where to start with you man.
But yes, the cocaine trade has caused immeasurable damage to the world at large.
Yeah, that part was written with some specific people in mind. It has a broader appeal than that. It has, however, also a well established position as a rich person's drug. And fuck those people in particular.
~~Wait until he finds out where cocaine comes from~~
I misread his comment. I thought he was talking about natural drugs
I love sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll. But not schoolhouse rock.
Did Ned Flanders write this headline? Reword that shit.
Hes been a known pedophile since before he got the seat
Knowing Matt I am not surprised.
