Ya know...I don't usually make fun of looks because in all honesty I'm not exactly pleasing on the eyes.  Indeed I'm about as pleasing on the eyes as a 2x4 is pleasing across the temples.  Having said that, how did this guy convince any woman to have sex with him? I mean...good lord.  I've seen more mental and emotional depth behind the stare of a bovine.


he rich and famous. And rich

Roger Stone — no stranger to indictment — offers Matt Gaetz potentially disastrous advice

 

Republican operative and pro-Trump dirty trickster Roger Stone, a man well acquainted with indictment (in his case for lying to Congress and witness tampering), is urging Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., the charismatic Trump ally now embroiled in seemingly bottomless scandal, to potentially incriminate himself further by going on "offense" and continuing to appear on cable news.  

"He needs to go on offense, this is right upfront in Stone's Rules," Stone told conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on his Infowars program. "The left-wing, non-journalist, fake-news media are the most vicious, malicious, dishonest people that I have ever come across," the GOP operative continued. "All of these stories that are maligning Matt Gaetz today are based on leaks.

 

Where is the beef? Where are the facts? I don't think there are any facts. I think this is a good old-fashioned smear." Later in the segment, Stone encouraged Gaetz to stay in the public eye, not hide in a "hole," and make additional TV appearances. "He [Matt Gaetz] should not go hide in a hole, he should be out there, like he was on Tucker [Carlson] last night," Stone added.

By all means take Stone's advice.  But beware, unlike Stone, not presidential pardon is coming.

 

Meanwhile sensible lawyers advocate otherwise.

 

Gaetz runs the Trump playbook for scandal: Keep talking, and talking

 

A person in serious legal jeopardy tends to, per their lawyer’s advice, shut up. Matt Gaetz is handling his current problems a little differently.

 

Trying to deflect from the threat of a federal criminal investigation for potential trafficking of a minor, Gaetz raced to Twitter, Fox News and other outlets seeking maximum exposure — a flood-the-zone approach reminiscent of Donald Trump’s strategy for talking his way through scandal. And so the GOP congressman from Florida, to the bewilderment of legal experts, made himself unavoidable for comment as the threat to his political career began to metastasize.

 

"My hope is that the truth will set me free, so I'm trying to get as much truth out as possible,” Gaetz, who represents a Florida panhandle district, said in an interview Wednesday.

 

It’s an unorthodox strategy that former prosecutors and defense attorneys described as dubious and perhaps even counterproductive, since Gaetz's interviews this week risk handing fodder to prosecutors as they build a possible trafficking case against him. But Gaetz's path, they said, is well-worn by politicians who are more concerned about the court of public opinion than the courtroom — none more visibly than the former president whose politics Gaetz has championed.

 

“It would seem to me that he is digging himself a deeper hole,” David Weinstein, a former assistant U.S. attorney from the Southern District of Florida, said of Gaetz. “His statements yesterday seem to have given credence to the allegations, not defeated them.”

Or, as Mugsy would say:  "Shut up shuttin' up!"

Fox News Pundit: It’s ‘Puritanical’ to Oppose Matt Gaetz Having Sex With Underage Girls

 

Fox News contributor Kat Timpf on Sunday blasted “puritanical” liberals for opposing a suspected sexual affair between Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and an underage girl.

 

During an appearance on Fox News, Timpf observed that the Gaetz scandal has “everything.”

 

“It’s got sex, it’s got drugs, it has Matt Gaetz, who is a very polarizing figure and he’s a very staunch supporter of Donald Trump so people either really love him or they really hate him,” she opined.

 

“But I think it’s been really interesting,” the Fox News pundit continued. “If buying expensive gifts for women and sleeping with them — that isn’t illegal. We still need to figure out exactly, there are receipts coming in, we still need to figure out more about what happened.”

 

Timpf added: “But it’s been interesting to see some in the media on the left who normally wouldn’t be so puritanical about something like that, being very puritanical and not just look at following the facts of it. Which again, it’s bizarre so it’s hard to know what those are.”

Gaetz Bragged About ‘Access To Women’ Provided By Now Alleged Sex Trafficker

 

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) was known in Florida politics for bragging about women he met through a county tax collector who has since been indicted on a federal sex trafficking charge, the Washington Post reported on Friday night.


Two people who heard his comments directly told the Post that the Republican lawmaker also showed off mobile videos of naked or topless women on multiple occasions, including at parties with Joel Greenberg, the former tax collector who is facing the charge on sex trafficking a minor among other offenses. The women appeared to be adults, the people said.

 

“Matt was never shy about talking about his relationship to Joel and the access to women that Joel provided him,” one of the people told the Post. “What these videos implied was that there was something of a sexual nature going on with everyone.”

 

The comments come as the Justice Department examines whether Gaetz paid for sex with multiple women in violation of federal sex trafficking laws and whether he had sex with least one girl when she was 17 years old.

Kat’s opinion will change when she learns that the Fla Bros would lose points if they slept with that abomination.

The whole Q thing has been about pedophilia and accusing dems of it. Somehow their crusade against pedophilia never made them question their support of Donald Trump despite his relationship with Epstein and tons of squalid accusations. Now, the question is how many of these moral and righteous right Q-berts will rally to defend Gaetz or stand by him?

Ahhh, Burgy.  You believed it was really about pedophilia and sex trafficking?

But alas, the QAnon community doesn’t seem to be calling for Gaetz to be removed from Congress, arrested, or worse, as they have for countless other politicians who are not under investigation for sex trafficking. Instead, the QAnon crowd appears to be defending Gaetz by alleging that the media and the Justice Department are persecuting one of former President Trump’s most fervent supporters.

Despite this uncertainty, QAnon followers have already reached a verdict: innocent. That's a curious and revealing thing. The Gaetz story, in broad strokes, seems like it would be huge news for the QAnon crowd, touted everywhere as "proof" that elite pedophiles have become so brazen even the deep state had to bestir itself to intervene. Its genesis under the Trump administration should make that explanation an easy fit. That's exactly how the Jeffrey Epstein story is used.

But Gaetz is a Trump ally, and QAnon is nothing if not tribal. The group's grand narrative — namely, that our government is run by a secret cabal of Satan-worshipping, cannibalistic pedophiles being exposed by a pseudonymous intelligence official called "Q" — holds Trump as a messianic figure, and in-group loyalty is incredibly strong. Thus did QAnon community discussions in the Telegram app immediately jump to Gaetz's defense, dubbing the Times report yet another "SMEARING of MAGA Patriots."

"Typical Narcissitic [sic] Flying Monkey, projectionist, gas lighting, smear campaign playbook," wrote one user, employing a pop psychology term to describe The New York Times as an enabler of abuse. The journalists are "evil ... ****s [who] hate [Gaetz] because he fights back and calls them out!" said another. Some highlighted that the girl allegedly involved was 17 years old. (Q is the 17th letter of the alphabet, so QAnon adherents sometimes think incidences of the number, like the 17 flags that stood behind Trump during his farewell address, are coded messages telling them to keep the faith.) Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green (R-Ga.), who has promoted QAnon in the past, backed Gaetz promptly, warning the story would become a "witch hunt."

 

It wasn't about any of those things.  It was all about smearing libs and protecting/turning a blind eye to Republicans.
