The House Ethics Committee on Monday accused Matt Gaetz of âregularlyâ paying women, including a 17-year-old girl, for sex and purchasing and using illicit drugs all while the Florida Republican was a member of Congress.
Ecstasy in marijuana. lol. Sounds like a Friday night for me. Why the fuck lie abouâoh, republican.
I really donât understand why, with so many of them clearly enjoying it, the republicans arenât pushing for legalized drugs, regulated prostitution, a 16 consent, and legalized abortion.
Because if they legalized that shit we'd get to do it too without the cops busting out asses, and the entire point is to lord the fact that they can do whatever the fuck they want (and that we can't) over us.
Even this misses the point, imo. It's not about lording over people. It's about creating and maintaining a system that lets them pick and choose who sits behind bars, who loses access to their finances, who is allowed to vote, and ultimately who has the power.
The rules exist to allow them to target anyone they want. The fact that they simply ignore them when they break them is not the end goal; it's hust a small part of the system of oligarchic control.
Alternative economy building. How do you pay for your campaign without offering something to someone? What sorts of people do the people looking to influence candidates want? Prison labor is lucrative. Children are difficult to care for. The less stressed people are, the fewer children they have. The more adequate the education, the fewer children theyâll have. Religion is a particularly useful tool in all of this. Itâs striking, just how perfectly A Handmaidâs Tale still holds up to modern scrutiny.
I wonder if this is the establishment throwing an obvious problem actor under the bus in order to say, âLook weâre doing something!â It canât be that hard to find a replacement for Gaetz who is better aligned with the partyâs values (on the surface, at least) with less problems. He was an easy target, because he was gloating to congress members about these acts.
Also, heâs a miserable person who should see justice for this shit. Whether it happens in America⌠different story, unfortunately.
In another text message exchange cited by the committee, Greenberg exchanged messages with a woman in September 2018, writing, âIf you have a friend that is down, perhaps all four of us can meet up later.â
The woman responded she did have a friend who could meet up, adding, âI usually do $400 per meet.â
Greenberg responded by sending a photo of Gaetz holding out a phone and taking a selfie. âOooh my friend thinks heâs really cute!â the woman responded.
âWell, heâs down here only for the day, we work hard and play hard,â Greenberg wrote. âHave you ever tried molly.â
. . . Committee investigators concluded that between 2017 to 2019, Gaetz âused or possessed illegal drugs, including cocaine and ecstasy, on multiple occasions.â
âThere is substantial evidence that Representative Gaetz used cocaine, ecstasy, and marijuana. At least two women saw Representative Gaetz using cocaine and ecstasy at different events,â the committee wrote. âAdditionally, nearly every witness interviewed observed Representative Gaetz using marijuana.â
Maybe it's true that being evil makes you ugly. Looks like a square is a rectangle situation. He looks like the lying salesman you try but always fail to avoid at the car dealer.
