I truly can't tell these days, but Gaetz looks like Butthead.

I've seen that one oh so many times!!! Heidi breaking character is as funny as Mike Day.

He eats the sugar and "becomes" Cornholio.

No need. We already know enough, don't we???? Hellooooo

7/16 - Rep. Lauren Boebert wants Matt Gaetz to lead special counsel investigation into Epstein files

7/18 - Matt Gaetz leads special council investigation into the Epstein files

7/19 - Matt Gaetz dies from masturbation-induced dehydration

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

To be fair, I wouldn't be surprised that he would meet that end on any random day.

[–] collapse_already@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 day ago

The logic being "it takes one to know one?"

So the pedophile gets to lead the investigation into pedophile activity? Sounds about right

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 121 points 1 day ago (7 children)

And Handjob Barbie is involved as well, the skank that wanked off her date at the theatre with -I think- kids all around her.
Only an imbecile would trust these two scumbags.

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 99 points 1 day ago (2 children)

She started dating her husband after he exposed himself to a bunch of teenagers (her included). Boebert definitely isn't against pedophilia, it turned her on.

[–] NJSpradlin@lemmy.world 37 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

She’s just upset the Lolita* Express was shut down before she could visit the island.

[–] DrFistington@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Her son also filmed himself having sex with a minor, the film was found when they were arrested for trespassing, theft, and identify theft.

it's disgusting that she still holds office. That bitch better make sure her skull is shatter proof

Well don't you want an expert to lead the investigation? - Bobert probably.

[–] DrFistington@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Yeah, the girl with stage V Stockholm's syndrome who was trafficked when she was underage insists!

Oh yeah, her shit bag son also caught charges for statutory rape

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 54 points 1 day ago

every comedian with a mic and a camera needs to be lighting up everyone in Washington.

I heard Matt Gaetz was asked to investigate the case with Epstein. He declined stating the children involved in the case were too old for him now.

The FBI was investigating claims that Chuck Grassley is a pedophile. their report claims that it's impossible for him to be a pedophile since anyone that comes in direct contact with him rapidly ages and turns to dust. However, the report did find that there are over 45 children missing after a "sleepover" at his estate.

[–] charade_you_are@sh.itjust.works 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Quite the crime fighting duo. A drug fueled rapist and one the most crazy skanks alive are here to solve all our problems.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

If you think the problems are bad… wait until you see their solutions!

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 69 points 1 day ago

You don't need a pedophile lawyer, you need a pedophile lawyer, get what I'm sayin'?

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 58 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Honestly I’m so confused. New factions are spinning off by the hour. It’s wild.

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 51 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I legit cannot get over how fucking stupid people are. This isn't a new faction, they're gearing up to investigate and say there's nothing. Maxwell is in on it because she doesn't want to die in prison.

[–] jabeez@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

oh there won't be nothing, plenty of dems gonna be on that list for sure, but mysteriously only a couple token no-name (R)s

[–] SpiceDealer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 40 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hey, Republicans, what happened with that "groomer" panic you guys were harping about not too long ago?

[–] Sp00kyB00k@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

They were panicking because they were thinking other people were stealing their kids that they want to groom. It is more like turf war than anything else

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 46 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Jesus, is she still around?

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

These fucking roaches never go away.

guess Boeberts check didn't clear.

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

Only the Gross Old Pedophiles could come up with shit like this.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yeah, this timeline really is fucking bizarre.

At least it seems on brand for the GOP.

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 day ago

THIS is why she and the Other Republicans voted AGAINST Releasing the Epstein Files! They wanted MATT GAETZ to Release it Instead for some reason because that's PREFERABLE than Releasing it without him?

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Makes sense to appoint someone who knows the subject matter so well

[–] YoiksAndAway@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's an oddly strategic move from a pancake like BoBo.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It was Ted “totally a human” Cruz’s idea, but he couldn’t sell it.
