Rep. Matt Gaetz tweets
@RepMattGaetz I won't be intimidated by the lying media. I won't be extorted by a former DOJ official and the crooks he is working with. The truth will prevail. |

OK I heard an interesting take on this from progressive political commentator, Farron Cousins, who actually lives in the region (Pensacola IIRC). Crestview is apparently an area dominated by "values voters", i.e. American social conservatives. Of all the different groups of Republican voters, those are the ones most likely to be disgusted by Gaetz's behaviour... so it might have been tactically a good choice to put the billboard there. |

More trouble. Gaetz can't get a meeting with Trump. Trump isn't shy about being seen with a creep like Epstein. It speaks volumes that being seen with Gaetz might be worse.

Every one of the MAGA crowd think Trump will never abandon them until he does.

Donald Trump will be President again the exact same day the Democrats finally make him pay for anything he did and vice versa.
He will never be President again, and he will never face any consequences for his action. Those both become more and more inevitable with each passing day. |

Matt Gaetz must have misunderstood when he was told people use Venmo to make minor purchases.

I don't know if it was original to him, but Michael Cohen said it in an interview on MSNBC:

I think the Dems are probably hoping Gaetz stays in the House. He would be a gift the keeps on giving for them..just like Taylor Green.

Matt Gaetz is asking for privacy during this trying time while he attempts to hide all the evidence.
Please have some respect. |

Oh my word, I agree!
People thought Trump was a gift! And look what bloody happened. The same will be true with whatever nutcase the Republicans throw up next! The idea that "LOL! They got themselves a crazy person. Can't wait to see how that will screw them at the elections!" should have died long ago and had a stake driven into it. Remember that Matt Gaetz and Taylor Greene and Boebert actually got elected. People like Ted Cruz and Lindsay Graham still sit in the Senate. And Trump still almost won a second term and could well come back and win again if the Dems aren't careful. The very fact that these are elected representatives proves that they are not bloody "gifts". |

Democrats: "Oh lookit at this! I found some rope! Oh I know! I'll give it to the Republicans to hang themselves! It's the perfect plan!"
Me: "Oh wait, remember what happened like the last 10 times you tried that..." Democrats: "Oh nonsense! It will work this time." SpongeBob Announcer: "Five... minutes... later." *One end of the rope is wrapped around the country's neck, the other half around the Democrat's balls, all while the Republicans merrily play jump rope between them* |
