#MSNBC #MattGaetz
Mat and Donald should share a cell .
THAT. WOULD BE THE BEST GIFT IN 2021 ❤️❤️❤️
In cell # 69
Add Josh Duggar to the mix.
One toilet. Real punishment.
Imagine the hairspray fumes if they shared a cell and fake tan stains everywhere.
grandma said, if you lay with trash you will stink just like it.
Lie down w Dogs, get up w Fleas.
@Linda Bell His pickle got him in this.
“If you lay with trash I assume you smell like trash or assume you stink” lol. 🤣🤣😂🤣
…tell his girlfriend 😆..🤧..😷
@Mary Ann M 🤣
Fight for his life behind bars.
Let’s get this guy in prison faster please
Both of them preferably 😪
shall I write the DA?
@cascade Yes Yes Yes
Fast track
Comparing yourself to the guy with 25 $exual assault and harassment claims as well as telling people he can do what we he wants to women and “grab em by the p” doesn’t paint a good image of yourself 😂
Unless you are a card carrying GOP.
He’ll be real popular in prison with his pompadour hair style. He’ll be someone’s “wife”.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣
@soaringvulture unless given it doesn’t matter…I know you are being cheeky
Didnt you get a DUI
He needs to be in prison instead of on TV!
He will be
Gaetz or Kristol?
Broadcasting from Guantanamo Bay
@moreSnacksPlease What crime has Kristol committed dear? We all know about Gaetz.
If he knew what he looks like to me on TV… he would spontaneously combust knowing the world is better off with out him.
He’s swears it’s the truth saying not 17 because she really might have been 16.
😳
Well he’s dating MTG now.
Not “really a lie”… just a bigger lie…
Got caught messing with her at age 17 but was messing with her for a long time
Lmao! I said the same thing.
“None of them were criminal”… umm he had a couple DUI’s that say otherwise!
I agree with you.
Daddy got him off every time, so, “It never happened.”
He also had 16 speeding tickets that went away
A judge gave a warrant for his cell phone so there is some evidence they expect to find,, at least a judge thinks there is..
Along with his ex girlfriends cell phone.
There’s at least enough /potential/ evidence for a judge to want to see it.
Where are the indictments for these clowns they need there day in court so we can see justice served.
Gary Woods, 🤡💩🤣
I had a dream 2 days ago that there were several indictments handed down, one right after another ……for not just Gaetz!
I stopped waiting for these fascist criminals’ day in court just like I stopped waiting for the stimulus checks. The fact that these criminals are still in office with no end to their crimes is enough to let me know there’s no end.
Time to swap his three piece suit for an orange jumpsuit. 🔐
As far as I’m concerned, his orange jump suit can be a three-piecer.
Orange onesie
He’s going to flee. No way he’s going to prison. He has affluenza.
I like how Gaetz refuses to go to Media Outlets, he’s just talking to Fake News.
@Melissa H When Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon go in front of a federal judge and explain they’re not really journalists, their entertainers with opinions not based on fact, you’re not watching the news! They’re on record for stating they don’t have to tell the truth in front of the camera, and they say what they thinks will drive up ratings. It’s as fake as a Kardashian.
@RationalMindRiot The majority of people raving about indoctrination are the ones stuck in lunatic conspiracy theories. Which are you, conspiracy nutjob or just flirting with lunacy
Newsmax.
@Chris “actual news organizations” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 You clowns are something. To stupid to realize all corporate news networks are crap.
@Melissa H I’m with you there! It’s used everytime the right disagrees with something, but can’t explain why. Overused to say the least.
Gaetz’s Florida defense – _”It wasn’t as good as you might imagine your honor, she was almost 18.”_
In southern Alabama, also known as Tallahassee, that is actually a legal argument
He has alot of fight left? Better save that fight for Bubba and Tiny when u reside at the Gray Bar Hotel Boss!!!!
Tiny found Jesus.
He will be wearing makeup for bubba instead of cameras in prison!
I heard about Bubba but not Tiny. LOL
😄
They go for every criminal actually, it just happens to be the entire gop.
All PERVERTS. Omg
Talk About CANCER. The Worst.
1:08 hes telling on himself that he is not the meek.
bragging and showing pictures luring Senators into pedophile blackmail schemes sound paranoid? No rational thinking deductive reasoning… you can’t make this up…
The only thing that would make the PizzaGaetz arrest better is Chris Hansen leading it.
Do u know what the real pizza gate is?
Chris Handsome is THE MAN.
“Have a seat right over there, Matt”
😅. 🪑. ⛓️
Gaetz: “I’m just like Trump and his dearly departed friend Epstein.”
😁👍
Lmaoooooo
Pervs of a feather
Like trump said:. America first? Why did we have more deaths from COVID then?
When someone tells you who they are, believe them”
“I’m like trump”, sounds like a confession.
I know right? who in their right mind would wish people to consider them anything remotely like trump?
How is it he has never gotten into trouble for showing nude pictures of his dates on house floor? Any other place of employment would have fired him
& what’s up with the congressmen who
gladly enjoyed Gaetz’ shares….
All those old men get a kick out of them .
Republicans.
Cause he’s showing republicans…they do this all the time.
Cos it was just locker room banter!!
Yeah. Not a peep out of who’s come forward now…
Integrity…. running through their veins…
🙄🙄🙄
I’m worried……
Have been since Biden refused to put his foot down and demand acknowledging his presidency, or out.
How can he have 2 governments? It’s as if he’s running the country from a little table beside the republicans in the oval office.
We’re looking at you, and we know it’s coming here next, already started, but, Jesus……
in the water.
Gaetz puts on that creepy grin and that weird Dragon Ball Z hair, he just keeps looking more and more like “Uncle Pervy”. I mean I’ve always found him to be smarmy AF, but this is downright creepy.
Dragon Ball Z hair, that’s the best one I read today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t think you’ve ever watched Dragon Ball. The Beavis and Butthead comparisons are a million times more accurate.
Preacher hair
😃😃😃😃😃😄
More like Johnny Bravo hair with Dragon Ball Z eyes to me.
