- Hey now.
  
  Don’t do that. You could make a few bucks just by doing your hobby!

  Seriously. Where the application? I could do with a few extra bucks calling a douche a douche.

I was so disappointed when Gaetz (almost forgot to include the name, have to be specific when talking about Republicans) wasn't charged after all the venmo stuff came out. Like it seemed there was evidence that he should have at least been charged and had a trial. Unless I missed something else after that completely absolved him of ties with the sex trafficking guy who he was apparently buddy with.

- Yeah that was obvious horseshit. The county employee he was in conspiracy with took the entire shaft for that. I'm curious as to what Gaetz promised that dude not to flip, because his corroboration was needed to bring the Venmo receipts and some of that other shit out of circumstantial and into real shit.

  The issues are 3 fold:
  
  -His co-conspirator had a habit of making up lies about his enemies. He had serious credibility issues.
  
  -The 17 year old they both raped took a settlement and apparently refuses to testify againt him. I personally cant blame her for taking the money and running instead of becoming a target for her whole life, ala Lewinsky.
  
  -The DOJ is outright chicken shit. The rumor is that they are afraid to take him to trial because of the above and because of his status as a congressman/ties to trump.

Reading lately how apparently Matt “was lost” at Camp David and tried to get Hutchinson to “help him find” his cabin only to have McCarthy (who was talking to Hutchinson when Matt tried this) tell him to get a life and shut the door in his face really fleshes out the animosity between them in the most amusing possible way.

There's plenty to attack you about Matt, no need for influencers

"scumbag" and "shut the fuck up" were also heard from other members of the group

- People should know you're getting that from the article, because it's damn funny that it's true.

- Oh they could have been talking to anybody

Maybe he has buyer's remorse for the shutdown, finally realizing that his group of shitheads will be blamed. Good faith compromise is always off the table for Gaetz, so he hatches a sob story and blames McCarthy.

Always good to see their paranoia being turned on themselves.

I mean it honestly is pretty likely that all these politicians are hiring people to attack their enemies. This is a pretty well known thing but people pretend like it doesn't happen when it's their side. There's a whole industry around it called opposition research. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_campaigning

Matt Gaetz bought and sold child sex slaves.
