Bye Bye Gaetz,....it's been horrible knowing you.
Two sets of rules: one for the rich and powerful and politically well-connected, and one for the rest of the people.
@Mike Felix And that's wasn't enough!!
Get ready max, or Scott , or whatever, you're going Down!!
@Lovely yea i agree! The fight is real. Just to be counted as a human…. That was a real fight. Like we look like you, have the same organs as you, and limbs n blood sweat n tears yet counted as animals/ property. Soooo messed up. And that way of thinking lives still today. Yes i know. It’s disgusting n heartbreaking.
And i agree all those men knew exactly what they were doing n the consequences of their actions. That kind of mindset is a much deeper issue. Not an excuse because there is no excuse for their actions. At All!! The damage they did can’t be versed. All those young girls n women will never be the same.
I thank you for your insight, your view, n your knowledge on shedding light on this matter.
I love how the emphasize the drugs and fraud but not the SEX TRAFFICKING OF A CHILD. Seems to be very prevalent in the "well connected"
That’s exactly what I said
I've been on this earth for 40 years and never had a friend involved in fraud or drug distribution. We set our standards pretty low for our leadership nowadays.
The average person has no say in who the leaders are, the donors have the say. There is no equality or fair election when you win based on how much money you have. There should be no money involved so everyone is represented equally.
But,of course, that wouldn't Even Happen
@L X Have a party with your dolls to cheer up, Princess.
Ppl posting this same comment over and over, copy & paste?
Florida knows how to pick them
"Only the best people". Only in Amerikkka.
Lock this creep up please.
@D.A. Oh HE DIDNT HAVE THE EVIDENCE. FACT.
I can hear it now:
"ALL ABOARD!!! Now loading, on Track 69, the Pizza Gaetz, Interstates, paedophile special. Destination: PRISON! ALL ABOARD!!"
After all his tough talk I have a feeling we'll be seeing the "tears of a clown"😭🤡
I tell ya, he surrounds himself with amazing people.

True dat and he'll be running to Mama and Papa 🙄🥳🤯🙈

@peter renshaw No it shows your circle of associates. When you lay with republican dog's flea's are your crew.
well if your friend killed someone or raped someone or sold drugs to someone or stole of someone .you must be guilty as well and you should go to jail as well . lets get real all of you would get this thrown out of court on the bases you did not do the crime (so stop judging someone on someone else actions because it fits your narrative ) .You would be outraged if the shoe was on the other foot ,double standards come to mind .
DTF, I am 75 years old and never had a friend or anyone I know.

Why is this guy still in Congress.
Bc he’s a Republican and he has money 💰
Well, maybe at least one of them (Gaetz) may get justice.
why does he look so evil though. Like he couldn't hide anything..he just looks like a villan.
And send him to a real prison, no country club white collar staycation.
@KEVA1701 again if the prosecuters feel they have enough to charge him they will but until then you are just making assumptions because you don't like him and that is not fair to anybody nor does it show any objectivity. Most of it is all speculation right now to us.
@C R who is a white supremacist? How did this become about race?
Why bother even making it up.
They are all falling by the wayside.
One by one.
Gaetz is so slimy. He absolutely makes my skin crawl.
No more lobbying or financial support from big corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Boeing, Northrup contract lobbying or support from any companies to people running for office. Enough of that crap already too!
It must be nice, when you are paying a lawmakers salaries. Then in return, you get the shaft without Vaseline.
What is nice is paying a civil servant, a civil servants salary, and yet they somehow amass a 150 million dollar fortune. They have exceptional stock trading skills that rival Warren Buffet. Always gaining, never losing a dime. It's almost like they know ahead of time what's going to happen. They used to jail people for that, inside trading. Ask Martha Stewart
Good 👍 Why is it taking so long! What more evidence do you need! Little Girl's being with this grown Man in a hotel
Please 🥺
Do you still love seeing your own face on the tv, Matt?
Stenographers and copy machine repairpersons are in high demand, and investigators get top dollar. There is a nest of rats scurrying.
i don't understand how these two guys are in or going to jail while gaetz is a free man. is there senate privilege or is it learning from the master (45) in how to stay above the law?
Good Lord. These guys have a way too much free time on their hands.
Gaetz will step up to a new level of desperation beyond what he has displayed recently. 🍿
They need to get his passport, BEFORE he leaves the country and finds asylum somewhere,...probably Russia.
"We can do the innuendo we can dance and sing.. . "
The dominoes are all falling FAST !! ..........................getting loud, and Louder, and LOUDER and L O U D E R !
Gaetz is the creepy guy that lives next door, if he knocks, Just ignore him!
This news comes to you from Left Field, way out there in left field. You might say it's off the wall.
Lock him up in jail and throw away the key!
To by on that jury! 🤗

LOCK THEM ALL UP
Tick tock, Matt.
Walls are closing in Matt :)
Pretty old and played out saying at this point.
Matt, I have 4 words of advice, just 4 words, Are you listening Matt?
SOAP ON A ROPE
Pretty standard for Republicans....👍👍
He dident have the money to fight it
WONDER HOW MANY TIMES GAETZ HAS CALLED TRUMP, HIS FRIEND WHO HE STAUNCHLY SUPPORTED .... I THINK HE IS GOING DOWN AND I FOR ONE CAN'T WAIT
Don’t drop the soap Matt G
Matt is being hooked up to an intravenous drip of Imodium as we speak😂
I heard he wants his cell to smell of Play-Do and training bras!
I'm trying very hard to stop reading the comments on TheXvid but in a sea of stupid there are still gems like this one.
Can I install it? Please? 😂
Ohh hell yeah, I love it
Wait until his friend from Florida Mr Ron desensitized
Lock this creep up please.
Matt is going to luv prison life!
The noose is tightening, Gaetz 👍
Sometimes we think we vote
Oh wow, someone's friend got arrested? Are wood chips coming up from this barrel scraping?
Lock him up
Matt Gaetz will not do well in state or federal prison.
lock em up
Hope they charge arrest prosocuted and sentence matt gantz to prison for 20 years

@Pasture Expectations Farm Remember we are Lizard people who eat children at your local pizza parlor SNORTING FAT RAILS OF ADRENACROME..... DO NOT MESS WITH US
Gaetz should be stripped of every Congressional Committee assignment while this is on-going - yet somehow Republicans find no reason for concern, rather they encourage him. Egregious.
Bruh..... You're really gonna go that route.... With the clown in the white house? Lmfao
@Nash well said! God Bless!!
@Pasture Expectations Farm Very true
Hula-Hoop Gaetz…
Prepare to hold someone's pocket Matty
How am I not surprised..
Meanwhile, Matt's daddy is desperately searching for a way to bribe his son out of trouble.
@War Rior When it's a big case like this it can take a while the reason why is so they can make sure he gets the most time also sometimes murderers cases can take 3 years it's because it can take time and they want to make sure they have all the evidence and to get the maximum amount of time..
He needs to get the Byrde Family on the case
matt is not going to be charged. it's been a year. do you really think they can make a case when it's a year old? XD my neighbor stole a $2 snicker at a liquor store and they put him in jail the next day. This guy is touching kids and he's still acting high and mighty because he is.
Matt 💕
Uh oh. Matty's got quite the adventure ahead of him.
@Miss Kimberly why would gaetz need to be pardoned??????? You need to be charged with a crime and put in jail in order to be pardoned.
@Charles Actually, is hasn't been proven that the whole thing was made up. It was proven that one of Trump's leeches told Me. Gaetz that he could pay for a pardon. 🤣🤣🤣 The guy who offered that is in his own adventure.
I'll believe it when I see it. 🙏
It just Gaetz better and better!
Another deal to testify on gaetz....lmao
The swamp that trump swims in!
Hmmm….I smell smoke, Matt.
Republicans...lol
I hear Dove soap is the best. It keeps a good lather and has oil in it to keep your skin nice and soft, among other things.
☘ Irish Honey Badger - Please accept my deepest condolences 😇
WELL MATT LOOKS LIKE YOU'LL BE HEADING TO PRISON. YOUR SNEAKY AND CRIMINAL WAYS ARE COMING TO AN END!
Bird's of a feather flock together .
Well, maybe at least one of them (Gaetz) may get justice.
thing, they love sexual predators
Good news
Saw a guy in Miami wearing a tee:
“MATT GAETZ
SUGAR DADDY HULA HOOP
GIRLS SQUAD”
The funny thing is people thought it was a Gaetz fan!

Thank you so much for your feedback, I'll contact her ASAP🙌🙌
And send him to a real prison, no country club white collar staycation.
No way not one of Matt's butt buddys oh wait maybe they can share a cell
And another one bites the dust
Jail him
Is ANYONE shocked? They all have the same damn profile
Popcorn time 🍿😁
Guilty
Why hasn't Matt G. Been charged? I mean I believe they have plenty of evidence; I base that off clips I have seen and heard about his involvement. Justice? I'm glad his buddies are behind bars but he was right there with them doing the exact same things. I am starting to think their is zero justice.
you are misinformed.
Just another soap opera to fool the masses.
Matt's gonna make that orange jumpsuit look 😊
I fail to see what the friend has to do with the other.
OOPS !! 🙈
Winter has arrived for big mouth Gaetz.
Republican family values, huh?
Oh the irony
oh THE FRIEND.
This guy is still walking around? Oh thats right we only arrest poor Wal-Mart people.....
gaetz for jail
Jail the abuser.
why Gaetz is still in congress? this looks good on Biden
Gaetz, but with barb wire fencing.
so nothing to do with Gates himself?
Typical Democrat prosecution!
Matt has nothing to worry about. He will just point at Ilhan Omar.
