Ah for the good old Florida days when Jerry Carter, then head of the Railroad and Public Utilities Commission, summoned by a Congressional investigating committee, gave some surprisingly candid answers. This led a congressman to say, "Mr. Carter, you're nothing but a cheap politician." Mr. Carter said, "That's right. The folks in Florida can't afford an expensive one."

Great essay, Lucian. Like his big buddy, Trump, this silver-spooned clown has been failing upwards his entire life. Not sure his daddy will be able to save Florida boy this time. Pass the popcorn, please.

Here you go 🍿 🍿

I made a very large batch of popcorn because this show is going to have an amazing and endless number of episodes and sequels, including half a dozen spin-offs (aforementioned and perhaps additional Florida officials)

Gaetz has supposedly taken to wearing the gas mask again, in a clever ruse to disguise his identity.

Something tells me that once he hits jail, the disguise won’t work, because surely this bobblehead will look like the dream sex toy to *someone*

Gaetz is so low rent there are NO men in prison who will eat lunch with him. He’ll see many baleful stares, and he’ll be asked how someone with so much money can be so fuckin’ ignorant. No basketball games with the guys for Matt. Sexual predators are pariahs.

Although we don't have a suitable conflict to handle Gaetz, we'll just have to wait for his party to frag him.

Can't wait for the press to find more Sugar Daddy site customers...nothing like an embarrassed Congressman with a really pissed off wife in tow mansplaining transgressions.

Is he married? I thought he is just a playboy.

He is engaged...my comment was for the typical bad boy who has the awkward press conference with the "supportive wife" dragged into the shit show to save hubby's career.

And lest we forget, this is the same Congressman who barely a year ago was defending his decision to adopt a teenaged, Cuban "houseboy"...

That is so scary

Tax Collector Guy is the ace of spades in Gaetz’s house of cards. Greenberg will play it and things will swiftly come crashing down for the congressman.
