But he's out of the House now too, so it's a win-win!

He was in trouble in the House too with the Ethics Report breathing down on him. Again, why he's never been tried criminally for these clear violations or even perhaps tax fraud for the payments is mind boggling.

Thank Merrick Garland for that.

Thank his rich, influential dad who lives in the Florida Panhandle for Matt to get by with everything!

Daddy Gaetz has been bailing out Baby Gaetz his whole life. Hmm! Sound like somebody we know?

Hopefully he never runs for any office again.

Maybe he'll run for Governor? White boots is probably done grifting there.

DeSantistan would welcome such a moron, no doubt...I live here, strange times!

Ronnie the D is term limited, he's out soon regardless. Gaetz was definitely planning to make a run, maybe not so much anymore.

IDK, people seem to like perverts in the Republiscam party. He might do just fine in Florida.

He won reelection on Nov. 5. HeтАЩll be back in the house after New Year.

Even if Gaetz goes back on his word and tries to return to the House he would then face the release of the ethics report and still have a huge problem. I think it's more likely he runs for governor since DeSatan is term limited now.

Just in time to stir up still more chaos, nice!

His constituents are just like him.

Might get Rubio's Senate seat!!!

Maybe not. He was elected to another term.

The only hope is that he won't want this investigation to continue and kick into higher gear. It appears more has come out. Apparently the reason he withdrew is the press called him for comment on a whole new claim to add to the others. He goes back in, the investigation livens up again. It's good to finally see someone as nauseating as Gaetz has resistance. There were four senators who said they would not be swayed to vote for him and 30 that didn't want to but probably would have.

Yes, but he was reelected for the next Congress, and heтАЩll be sworn in right after New Year. WeтАЩre not rid of him yet.

Then we should get that report released!

Sadly, Gaetz was reelected on Nov 5. He'll be back in January

Expand full comment

He resigned his seat.

There's a detail that needs to be cleared before we cheer. He resigned from his current position but he also won his reelection so there's some question about that. There's always a wrinkle these days.

When Gaetz withdrew from the House he pledged not to resume his seat in the next Congress.

My guess is Trump will find him a nice sinecure behind the scenes promoting further corruption and chaos.

:And you believe him?

Why not, Richard Knabel? In fact, he said he was thinking of returning to school. Guess he's thinking of where he can find the most young women in one place.

I heard he was going to a evangelical seminary.

Is there a nunnery anywhere close by it?

Expand full comment

I think he goes either way. There was some controversy about his "adopted son" a few years ago...

Expand full comment

Like Diddy. People on power trips seem to escalate as their power goes on or it looks like they're going to go stratospheric. Thank goodness Gaetz is out of this path. We'll see where he shows up next.

What you're hearing from here is stunned silence. In our new everyday Onion reality that could equally be the gods' truth or a funny joke.

So he's going back to Jr. High School?

Oy, arneтАФanother yech.

Sure, can't we rely on Maga republicans since they received an overwhelming mandate from the American people to enact their regressive agenda?
