Are you a serial liar? A Florida pedophile? A misogynist? An insurrectionist and a seditious swine? Perhaps you’re simply a grifter looking to meet like-minded human flotsam? @GOP , @ForTheRuleOfLaw and @MIGOP would like to speak with you regards a possible run for office…
Representative Matt Gaetz, a standard-issue Republican of Florida and a bosom pal of grifter deluxe and former President Donald J. Trump, is under the heat from the Justice Department. At issue? His presumed sexual relationship with a 17-year-old he says he didn’t pay to travel with him.
‘People are saying‘ Mr. Gaetz violated federal sex trafficking laws which make it illegal – for most people who aren’t MAGA types – to induce someone under 18 to travel over state lines to engage in sex in exchange for money or other filthy considerations. Most such cases end up with offenders on the receiving end of severe consequences.
In the criminal convictions contest, the score is Republicans 89, Democrats 1. And that’s not even counting all the high-level Iran-Contra folks who probably would have been convicted of various felonies if they hadn’t been pardoned by GHW Bush and Donald J Trump, Former Grifter in Chief…
Among Democrats, there’s been only one criminal conviction in the past 50 years.
Given his party’s willingness to support, forgive or overlook a host of wretched behaviours, it’s likely that young Mr. Gaetz will emerge unscathed from his most recent transgressions. It’s also well within the current betting odds that he’ll land an excellent gig with one or more of the Party News Organs.
If the arc of justice is bending in a useful way, Young Mr. Gaetz should have to visit the White House with pork chops in his pockets and stuffed in his tighty-whitey big boy briefs, be summarily duct-taped to a chair and then have Major Biden set loose in the room. Just a thought…
