Matt Gaetz considers leaving Congress for Newsmax job!

Trump opened the floodgates to overtly know-nothing, do-nothing-good, media-centric politicians.

Oh and fugly too.

More money than a Rep salary. This stunt queen just wants attention, he doesn't care about legislating for citizens.

Typical Republican.

Good. Leave, bitch. You weren't doing anything helpful anyway.

Does Newsmax actually pay that well? Where can one watch Newsmax?

So, something bad is going to come out (him being involved in the 01/06 riot?), and he retires (aka quit) before he gets officially fired (charged with a crime)? Did he negotiate some deal with the DOJ?

If anything pushed him out it was the GOP Leadership. (Cheney/McCarthy), I can’t imagine him having much respect for Joe Biden’s Justice Department.

No way would he let himself get pushed out by Cheney. Unless he gets blackmailed with something (sex tape with Nestor? *shudder*).

The end of a brilliant and promising career in public life!

I agree that he's probably being threatened/blackmailed with something unsavory. It's one thing if FOX is offering you a truckload of money. Newsmax?

Matt wants to be another joe Scarborough or Sean Hannity. It beats being a congressman for sure.

All the attention is on you. There’s no competition. You’re no junior anything. You’re the star. last but not least, you wield more power than a congressman and a better route to higher office.

Nestor put him up to it of course. He’s jealous of chasten.

My first thought is maybe something is going to be revealed about his old friend, who is also tied to Roger Stone.

[quote] According to Fox News, Republican Joel Greenberg was the tax collector in Seminole County, and resigned in June in response to a Federal investigation. He’s accused of using the state’s motor vehicle database to get information on people with whom he had sexual relationships, and of paying for sex with a child between the ages of 14 and 17. These charges follow those reported by the Orlando Sentinel in July, which included stalking, identity theft of a political opponent, and using his office to create fake drivers licenses for himself.

Bye bitch...he really does nothing all day anyway

It’s not about the money, it’s all about PUBLIC SERVICE!

Good job USA! Elect monsters who tell you lies.., that you like to hear and elevate them as shills for yellow journalism!

Of course, the added benefit is spending more time with the children 😁

That weirdly shaped head is NOT telegenic.

Butthead ^

He has a face for radio and a personality for a toxic waste dump.

I suspect Nester was a bit...young when Matt "adopted" him.

The Newsmax job could be a “consulting” gig, something that’s not a real job, just a payoff to get him to go away.

Of course, I don’t know how grotesque Newsmax’s on camera lineup really is. Maybe he’ll fit right in.

👋👋👋👋

Is that legal, for him to take another job as a congressman?

I have to support my "son" in the style to which he is becoming accustomed! Nestor's collection of assless Andrew Christian briefs does not grow on trees!

R21, reading comprehension isn’t for you.

That is a gross man.

Brain drain - said no one ever.

He already has the makeup bag ready.

Can’t wait for daddy to buy me a new car!

He’s going to have a paper route?

I'm betting the tide with the voters in his district has turned and it's against him and he figures he probably won't win reelection, so he wants to leave politics on his own terms, not as a LOOOOSAH!

When you're that photogenic why hide your light under a bucket.

r21...Pshaw...repubs never cared about laws. Good riddance to him, but there will another like him in the wings. It is Flori-duh.

I hope this means that the Nestor "adoption" scandal finally breaks out in the mainstream media and he's charged with human sex trafficking. Reichpublicans will tolerate almost anything, but they won't tolerate pedophiles (see not elected, wannabe senator pedo Roy Moore), especially not gay ones.

Roy Moore lost because of black women getting out the vote...many repubs still voted for him.

What is the legal status of his guardianship of 12 year old Nestor? "His sister said it was okay?"

R27 Mrs. Betty Bowers reads the DL. She used your comment in her tweet on this.

Hmm, interesting....I agree he's trying to get out in front of something.

[quote] he's trying to get out in front of something.

Nestor's pinga?

Betty used to post here (openly, under the Betty Bowers name)

How will Congress survive without him?!!

She will have more time to spend with the booze and Nestor.

He is so ugly it hurts my eyes to gaze upon his picture.

Those pursed lips of his make me want to slap the living shit out of him.

....

He has a makeup addiction, and being on TV full time would feed that ego.

From R43:

[quote]Investigators are examining whether Mr. Gaetz violated federal sex trafficking laws, the people said.

[quote]The three people said that the examination of Mr. Gaetz, 38, is part of a broader investigation into a political ally of his, a local official in Florida named Joel Greenberg, who was indicted last summer on an array of charges, including sex trafficking of a child and financially supporting people in exchange for sex, at least one of whom was an underage girl.

I hope he goes down in flames!!

There is one word in the headline about the sex scandal that doesn't make sense. It makes me think the story is a fabrication, put out by Gaetz himself to try to enhance his image.

You’re right. It’s supposed to be Rick Gaetz.

Gaetz looks like Jim Jones.

It would be a shame if Matt goes to Newsmax and then they go out of business when Dominion and Smartmatic sue them into oblivion.

Matt Gaetz Is Said to Be Investigated Over Possible Sexual Relationship With a Girl, 17 -NYT

An underage GIRL??? What do you make of this, DL? Was she perhaps there to entice Nestor into doing things for Daddy, or to keep him from talking?

Maybe this is another Jerry Falwell Jr situation and he likes to watch her with Nestor

Are we sure there is not a typo and there’s supposed to be a T- in front of that girl?

I forget which movie this comes from, but, essentially, if you put them face-down, what's the difference between a boy and a girl? Though Gaetz really doesn't come across as a top.

[quote]There is one word in the headline about the sex scandal that doesn't make sense. It makes me think the story is a fabrication, put out by Gaetz himself to try to enhance his image.

Which word, R47?

Very odd situation

Matt is a cokehead and I feel like his addiction is starting to make him nuts. His behavior is completely out of control

It's the gubmint tryin'a git him!

Itsa deep state, y'all!

R56-- "girl"

A GIRL-girl?

Maybe he could land that job at Teen Vouge...

Here's the thing - the investigation started under TRUMP's DOJ. Y'know - the guy he was supporting left and right?

This wasn't cooked up in the last 8 weeks Biden has been President.

This is looking BAD!

Has his husband, ahem, 'ward' Nestor issued a statement yet?

R52, though, you have to wonder if, under a Trump administration, molesting an underaged girl wouldn't be considered a badge of honor.

As the gop fractures, it’s a good move to stay above the fray or risk taking sides , to have your own talk show if you want to run for prez.

R64, that fact that the investigation was opened tells you that then-AG Barr knew that Trump would not be re-elected.

R66 - or, they did it to blackmail Gaetz to dance like a puppet and do whatever the fuck they wanted.

Nestor must be asking for a larger percentage of cash to stay silent.

Oh, so it's one of Trump's DOJ people trying to blackmail him for $25 million. Yeah right. If that was true the guy would have already been arrested.

And now we know why.

R60..cisgirl to be sure..

I would love to see him and Nestor dressed as Batman and Robin for Halloween.

I hope he goes to jail for along time.

[Quote]I hope he goes to jail for along time.

Oh, dear.

I am LOVING THIS! I do feel sorry for any of his victims, though, it must be said. Nose that it has, let's return to the schadenfreude!

He should be considering leaving the country to a place that doesn’t extradite back here.

Gaetz's baby boy went away to college. He's an empty Nestor.

Gaetz 'considers leaving Congress'. And now we know why..... Does Newsmax have offices in non-extradition countries??

It's not any wonder that he was so enthusiastic to do Dump's bidding and campaigned hard for him. I'm sure he figured he had a better shot of keeping it hush with him as president. Dump had to be aware of it.

trump probably had the goods on him and threatened to use it, like with Ms. Graham.

If this sex thing keeps up & especially if it gets worse he can forget about going to work for Newsmax or any other media outlet. Even that lowlife outfit wouldn't touch him with a 10' pole. But the thought of him being ruined and hopefully going to jail, or at the least be shunned and considered a pariah by anyone who could help him in any way is in 3 words, DE LIC IOUS

NewsMax hasn't published the story of Matt's troubles. LOL

Someone in Matt's team claimed the other day that Matt never pays for sex.

So I guess it's safe to assume he's a virgin.

Sorry if this has already been posted.

How much broadcasting equipment can you get into a prison. cell?
