Gaetz casts lone ‘no’ vote on sex trafficking bill

Feds probe Fla. Rep. Matt Gaetz over alleged relationship with teen girl

1. Whoa, I had no idea he was the lone "no" vote

on a human trafficking bill. How on earth did he justify that? And why wasn't it a bigger story at the time? Hard to believe this fool got reelected.

Edit to add his pretty lame explanation: “I vote against all bills that create new federal boards, agencies, commissions or councils,” Gaetz said. “For all the problems we have, not enough entities in the federal government is not one of them.”

3. The anti-regulation crowd finds that laws and oversight

prevent them from doing all they want to do in life.

[PatSeg]

4. That would definitely appear to be the case with this fool

Spoiled brat has gotten pretty much whatever he wanted his whole life and never had to take responsibility for anything. I think Congress is just one big frat party for him.

[Harker]

5. There's something pathological in how the sleaziest

are often the most dedicated attention seekers.

Having a secret life while shouting, "hey, look at me!" and performing theatrical stunts in a closely observed setting seems a disastrous plan.

[PatSeg]

8. That certainly seems to describe Mattie Boy

Another showman who isn't talented enough to go into show biz and has no other marketable skills, so why not go into politics? He can put on a show every week and actually get paid for being ridiculous and obnoxious. These "attention seekers" don't seem to ever really do any actual work, they just put on performances for the camera and enjoy the prestige and perks that come with the office.

Gaetz gets paid to pull off childish stunts in our Capitol, though he does seem to put a fair amount of effort into it. I mean, who could top his gas mask antics? Or bringing a white supremacist, Holocaust denier to the State of the Union? Or storming a secure room in the Capitol building to protest the closed impeachment hearings and even ordering pizza like it was just one big party? All for the cameras of course. That must have taken a fair amount of planning, right?

What a totally useless human being.

[Harker]

12. He strikes me as the sort for whom the fork in the road

left him wondering whether he should go into politics, like dad, or charismatic evangelism.

Yes, he's totally useless.

[PatSeg]

14. Oh yeah, I can see him go either way

Charismatic evangelism is another career path for those who have no real talent and desire a great deal of attention.

[DENVERPOPS]

33. check out rachel tonight

A tax collector in Seminole County Florida, committing major grifting and stealing tax fund money has been tied to Gaetz

Joel greenberg has also been charged with child trafficking, and is a good buddy of Gaetz.

This has been going on for a few years, BARR knew all about it and did nothing apparently.

Greenberg is now charged with 33 Federal Felony charges and they are still digging up more in the investigation......

[PatSeg]

34. I know, what a bizarre story!

Not only is Greenberg corrupt and shameless, he is also extremely careless. It was like he was trying to be caught. Little or no attempts were made to hide his criminal activity. He might as well have been wearing a sign on his back.

[DENVERPOPS]

35. I think most of these trumphumpers

and right wing politicians think they are invincible........
They figured that Trump would win, and there would never be a day of atonement for anything or anyone on the Right Wing.....

I don't necessarily think they are stupid, the all actually believed they were going to take the U.S. Capitol, eliminate Dem House and Senate members, along with Pence and start a new government. I believe they were delusional in just what type of government their Republican Party was going to install to rule them. If you asked most of the 70 Million Republican Voters to explain a Corporate Fascist Tyranny, they couldn't begin to tell you what that means.......

I have a neighbor who has been convinced by Fox and RW radio, that she is indeed much smarter than any Dem or libtard........
When in reality, she and all the others, are some of the most politically ignorant people I have ever met. I was standing in line with a bunch of trade guys at a supply house. One was ragging on a left leaning Supreme Court Justice. When he stopped, I asked him if he could tell me how many Supreme Court justices there are and name them......They were silent.....Of course, I picked up my purchases and got the hell out of there. I had really wanted to stay and ask any of them to tell me the name of the president that appointed each of the Justices, and whether each justice leaned left of right.

Rush Limbaugh, if you ever listened to him, did the same line every day in his broad cast. He would made a statement about something in the news, and then say: "Let me tell you how to think about that", like he was some kind of superior being and an educator....

I have to say that the reality is, that if most voters, Repub or Dem had to pass the civics citizenship test that immigrants have to pass to become citizens, they would fail miserably..........

[PatSeg]

36. Oh, I agree

They usually are only capable of spouting off the talking points that they've heard on the radio and TV. There is no real depth to their knowledge.

I think people like Greenberg got so used to the "anything goes" atmosphere, he really thought he could do anything and not suffer any consequences. While Trump was in the White House, a lot of these fools thought he'd bail them out, but they didn't change their mindset when he left. Trump exited the stage, but his followers delusional arrogance still lingered, well at least until the FBI came knocking on their door. I think that sobered up a bunch of them.

I'd love to know how those trade guys would have answered your Supreme Court questions. My daughter has done that with people who rag on Nancy Pelosi. She'll ask them why Pelosi is so horrible, what did she do? Crickets. They don't know, they are just responding to the way people like Hannity or Carlson mention her name. They honestly don't know why they hate her so intensely, but they really can't stand her.

23. Here's the first Bill he introduced as a member of congress

[PatSeg]

25. Oh, for Pete's sake

Well, isn't that a constructive start?

[lagomorph777]

2. Uh-oh.

That kind of stands out.

7. Just like a psychopath to telegraph his punches. He may be disgusting, but he's no hypocrite.

[calimary]

9. YEAH, baby! Face the music, you bastard!

There goes YOUR reputation, dude. You like ‘em YOUNG, dontcha...



I guess maybe women closer to your age are too wised-up about guys like you. But the younger ones still in high school won’t know so much about you and will be much more easily impressed.

[gab13by13]

10. I think his daddy needs looked at too.

Giving Mattie's girl friend a fancy car seems a bit overboard to me.

[DENVERPOPS]

27. An investigation

might show this is not his first. And how old was she when he first started grooming her for his despicable deeds........

[calimary]

37. VERY good question.

Who does he think he is, anyway? Prince Andrew?

[BobTheSubgenius]

11. Unsurprisingly, this POS has one of the very most punchable faces in politics today.

If there was a league of punchable faces, the GOP would have a FORMIDABLE lineup.

[Harker]

13. He should be probed forcefully. n/t

[dalton99a]

15. Kick

[IronLionZion]

20. Dude is so creepy nt

[YoshidaYui]

16. Another Slime ball Republican we may not have to worry about

any longer. Hopefully he will be forced from his position to sit in a court room.

[NurseJackie]

17. Even when he's smiling he look angry.

[Initech]

18. Projection 101: Accuse others of that which you are guilty!

[Cheezoholic]

19. This is the tip of the iceberg

It's hopefully going to open up a Pandora's box of the corruption surrounding this douchebag and his family. Not to mention there were probably lots of sphincters clamping up when this came out by any and all who have had dealings with any of them. He was protected in FL by his fathers influence and money and was protected in DC by the fascist in chief. The DOJ is no longer on that leash and have been cut loose. I have personal family skin in this game (pun entirely intended) and have been patiently waiting for over 10 years. I knew they'd get him because he's a moron but I didn't think it'd be this quick in the new administration. That just goes to show the DOJ has had their eye on him for some time now.

I've often wondered that since Truman Burbank "lived" in his families second home combined with Gaetz's juvenile fixation with social media, doesn't make him a prime suspect as a major constructionist of Q'spiracy.

I sincerely hope this POS and his POS father, whose on the board of directors of Fascists R' Us, among others associated with them, get scorched. A nicer thing couldn't happen to a family from Niceville, Fl.

Found the Mother Jones write up on this crime family I read a couple years ago, definitely worth the read

30. Thanx for that link

So far, I just read his Wikki page.

[IronLionZion]

21. Regulations kill jobs

for criminals like sex traffickers. Qanon was looking at the wrong party.

[Hugh Bloody Bastards]

22. Hypocrisy doesn't run in the Republican Party. Nor does it gallop.

It rockets in a manner that would make Elon Musk green with envy!

[riversedge]

24. @Mattgaetz was blabbering like a scared fool last night on Tucky show.

[SunSeeker]

26. K & R & Retweeted!

[JohnnyRingo]

28. Oh, that's rich.

"But maybe we should give him his privacy while he gets through this" says every republican in the country.

Will someone please interview his fiance? He just put a ring on her a couple months ago, but she can keep it.

hahaha

[keithbvadu2]

29. The image should say 2020 instead of 2021

The image should say 2020 instead of 2021

to show that the investigations started under the Trump administration.

[JohnnyRingo]

31. Let's hope daddy doesn't pay the young lady off.

On Hannity, Gaetz claims his dad was ready to make a $5mil down payment to the "extortionists"
That, unfortunately may make her memory fade.

Of course, there aren't too many ways to launder that much money.

[Shermann]

32. That vote didn't age well! nt
