NYT: Matt Gaetz Investigated For Possible Relationship With 17-Year-Old | Talking Points Memo

[rascal_crone]

Title of your gritty cop show on CBS.

[go2goal]

Context: last time little Matty was implicated with a 12 year old Cuban house boy (his ‘helper’).

So only involving girls would be a step up if it is not only 1/2 of the full story.

Gaetz and his daddy have colorful reputations - bonafide Evangelicals. They are a strange subculture.

From what I’ve been able to find out, it wasn’t a true ‘bite’ - Major nipped someone but did not break the skin (again).

I’ve had dogs do that to me - they get over-excited or overwhelmed and ‘nip’ in response. The appropriate response is to immediately calm things down - let the dog relax.

I’d hate to see the Bidens send Major back to Delaware - hopefully they’re getting good advice from experts.

The Rachael Maddow Show did a good report on Greenberg and Gaetz on March 30th.

The report begins at 3:14 after a brief segment on US vaccination progress.

And don’t forget Fox’s coverage of Cuomo and the accusations against him - in comparison to their coverage of Gaetz.

I had a dog who would gently nip but as an obvious sign of affection.

I do wonder who holds the keys to the kompromat cages

Roger Stone might know more than a little. His personal network seems to be . . . interesting.

That’s one cheap-lookin’ suit.

Unanimous first-ballot admission into the Wingnut Hall of Fame. He’s like a Babe Ruth of wingnuttery.

@txlawyer

It is purely about knowingly moving someone who you know to be under 18 across state lines for sex

Let’s find out who paid for the plane ticket. I doubt it was paid in cash.

OK! As long as we’re gonna go there…
WTF is up with the wingtip running shoes? Is that a Florida Man thing?

[rhs1963]

They say ‘clothes make the man’…

Rick Wilson – who is definitely plugged into Republican politics in Gaetz’s district, hinted on Twitter that it was actually a private plane.

Well, Limbaugh’s dead now so…

Oh my! If I was walking down the hall towards these guys I’d make a quick u-turn and run like hell! Pictures of the individual congressmen is bad enough. Getting them together is positively creepy, slimy, icky. (shudder)

[LeeHarveyGriswold]

As I said on a post awhile back, Gaetz looks like the meth dealer told to dress up for his arraignment and Gym is the overworked PD who has been assigned to his case.

[rhs1963]

That sounds even better! Borderline Epstein, just need the private island for Matty to be in the big leagues.

@txlawyer

That would be pertinent if Gaetz were being accused of making child porn, which he is not. Thanks for playing.

We’re not actually aware of what Gaetz is and is not being investigated for.
I hope you’re less sloppy professionally than you are online. I mean, who fucks up ‘or’ for an entire day?

@karlwlewis

At the risk of sounding pedantic… the correct term for “underage women” is girls , or children .

Or in Gaetz’s lexicon…“recategorize my generosity to ex-girlfriends as something more untoward”

@Anarchy_Bunker

We’re not actually aware of what Gaetz is and is not being investigated for.

All of the reporting is that he is being investigated sex trafficking of a minor.

[rhs1963]

He’s being Trumpf-level clever. He concocted the whole thing to divert attention from the rumours that he is gay.
