Yet Another Federal Violation By Gaetz: Failure To Disclose Paltry Book Sales | Talking Points Memo

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who is under investigation by the Justice Department for alleged sex trafficking of an underage woman, seems to have committed another violation: failure to disclose the money he raked in from a book he published last year.

First $27 retail seems normal for a hardback.
Second $27 seems an awfully high price to pay for a doorstop, and $10 doesn’t make it any more attractive.

I’m not sure if I’m happy that it failed, or sad that 2,200 people bought a book full of BS written by a child sex predator.

Matt Gaetz is what happens when a tube of hair gel becomes sentient.

Stephen King he’s not.

Wait a minute. Matt Gartz knows how to write? He is barely able to express an intelligent or sentient thought!

I think of him more as a jar of Crisco that wished he was a tube of hair gel.

Stephen King character he is. He’s the creepy neighbor who stares at your wife’s breasts so she makes an excuse and leaves, and then you go and run an errand and then the mist rolls in, and you never see her again.

He knows how to write a check to a ghost. Ah, who am I kidding, he used venmo. Check for it in his history. Probably labeled “books for school”.

Guess he didn’t get the Gingrich/Don Jr. memo: raise campaign money to bulk buy the books then resell them at campaign events.

OT.

To protect and serve — but only if you allow us, like the infected fleas of thousands of infested rats, to spread disease among our fellow citizens, just like the freedom-guaranteeing US constitution demands.

How many cops feel this way? I’m guessing it’s not a huge percentage so fuck them. They can always hire more.

There is a straight-up anti-vaxxer contingent, but I can’t imagine that the police unions are large bastions for them. So how many of them object to mandated mumps and measles vaccines for kids? If one set of mandated vaccines is okay in their book, they don’t have much of an argument for being against the other one.

Dunno the percentages. Articles aren’t clear about it, but I’m guessing most of the recalcitrants are white. I might be wrong, but I’m willing to put money on it

Oh Dear,

Self awareness, much?

I really don’t care about Gaetz, the jerk I’d like to see arrested is Eric Prince. I’ll wager he’s responsible for many civilian deaths in both Iraq and Afghanistan.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday that Erik Prince , cofounder of the infamous security contractor formerly known as Blackwater, said he is chartering planes to get stranded people out of Afghanistan for $6,500 per person.

Prince said he can guarantee safe passage to the airport in Kabul, where an unknown number of people are waiting to be ferried out of the country. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said on Wednesday that there may be up to 1,500 Americans still in Afghanistan. He said 4,500 have already been evacuated. More than 80,000 people overall have been evacuated since August 14.

For those who are remain stuck in their homes, Prince said they can be extracted for an extra fee.

I’m surprised at how low the fee is. I would have expected $10,000 along with your first-born child.

Poor sales? I’m not surprised. You can read about him every day from real journalist. Why would you want to read his fantasies?

Where did he come up with the $6,500 figure? He must be shrewd enough to have based that number on something.
