    So has Matt Gaetz faced no consequences for that trouble he was in like a year ago?

      The rich and powerful only go down if they steal from other rich ghouls apparently.

        Southern politicians only go down if they're caught with a dead girl or a live boy.

        Gaetz was caught with neither, his adopted son Nestor notwithstanding.

          Honestly they can get away with fucking boys too if they play their cards right. There isn't any pile of shit a god fearing evangelical can't sleaze out of if they've got the money to prove god loves them.

      Nah, not at all.

      Apparently Gaetz keeps hiring more and more lawyers tho? He's acting as if something's coming, dunno if it actually will and not gonna hold my breath.

      Kyle brings the access and/or plausible deniability when a young girl is in his office, while also throwing red meat to the psycho right wingers by hiring him. It's a win-win for Matty.

    Gaetz needs another son? Or was it a different guy?

    I sincerely hope Matt Gaetz drives off the side of a road, crashes into a tree, and dies very slowly

    Sorry. I said something like this ironically. Didn’t totally believe it until the guy who rittenhouse shot testified, then knew he would become even more of a hero

      They ran up to the court to do a photo op recently. Not sure how well the Senate campaign is going if this is the only way to get headlines anymore.

    Rottenhouse is gonna be a speaker at the rnc for sure. He'll probably carry the same gun on stage with him as a prop to give a speech about defending America.

      The kid's got all the charisma of a wet paper bag. It doesn't look like he's got much of a future.

      Much like Zimmerman, he'll be swarmed by grifters (like Gaetz, whose only interest in Rittenhouse is as a fundraising prop) until people forget about him. He'll go deep into debt, trading on his celebrity. He'll wash out the back end of the system and be discarded, assuming he doesn't OD on fentanyl or kill himself while DUI.

      There will be dozens of idiot kids to take his place. And I have no doubt we'll be back here talking about the next psycho teen mass shooter inside a year or two. But I don't envy this kid's life even slightly.

    I almost feel like there would have been less collateral damage if we just let him get away with it and never had the trial. Now he's gonna get a cushy position on the right wing

    Is this a long time for a jury to deliberate? I am not familiar with court cases and I thought the Chauvin one was pretty quick.

      They'll deliberate until their done. Could take another day, could take all week. As far as I can remember they go until either everyone agrees on a verdict, or they're absolutely certain that they're divided and can't come to an agreement.

      I cannot overstate how much the Minneapolis Police Department is hated and how overwhelming and horrifying the evidence against Chauvin was. Totally different kind of case in a very different jurisdiction.

    I try my best to not be reminded of this freak's existence. Of course he'd say something like that
