    The fact that Matt Gaetz wasn’t forced to resign in disgrace for being a sex trafficker says all you need to know about the GOP.

    The fact that he isn’t in jail for those same crimes says all you need to know about the justice system in this country as well.

      I can only assume by his continued presence his constituency in Pensacola FL appreciates having their own personal values being reflected in their representation. People of Pensacola, please demonstrate I’m incorrect by voting him out.

      Republican logic: “Sex trafficking of a minor? Fine if you’re a Republican. Republican conducts major instances of fraud, including defrauding a veteran? Fine. Democrat pulls a fire alarm? He needs to go to prison immediately!!!”

        You mean speaker of the house George Santos? The very same George Santos that singlehandedly stopped a government shutdown and rallied bipartisan support the likes of which have never been equaled in modern history?

          Perhaps he was talking about George Santos’s father, George Santos. You know, the one who dropped the atom bomb on Osaka.

        Ugh. We never wanted that goddamn Cheeto. He’s a new Yorker like Foxwoods casino is owned by native Americans: technically true, but so different that in actuality, not.
