Also, I am self-aware enough to know that I have a bad habit of throwing cheap fashion cracks at men I dislike, but I cannot help myself: I should have guessed, because Nunes' suits are the kind where you have to spend money to look that bad. Sure, you can buy ill-fitting or badly-made suits off the peg, but not in the ridiculous plaid patterns that Gaetz favors. That kind of bad taste is expensive. He reminds me of a hot-shot criminal defense attorney near where I practice. Guy handles a lot of reasonably high-profile cases, especially homicides. I once saw him at a courthouse wearing a navy blazer over a pale orange shirt and pink pants (I honestly don't remember what shoes he was wearing to go with the trousers), brought together with a navy and pink bowtie.

I confess that if I were a judge, I would seriously consider holding in contempt an attorney who dressed that way in my courtroom. (As opposed to the asshole chauvinist judge in my area who used to sanction female attorneys for daring to wear pants instead of skirts.)

He's Herb Tarlik without the charming personality.

A law school classmate of mine was chastised by a judge for wearing slacks, so next time she appeared in his courtroom she wore a skirt, with her leg tats on full display. The judge told her to go back to slacks.

'A 10ft pole is not long enough': Matt Gaetz isolated in sex-trafficking scandal
Donald Trump reportedly advised to keep quiet about ally

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/202 ... 1617456924

The Daily Beast, meanwhile, reported that advisers were pleading with the former president to keep quiet. Trump was reported to have said the affair seemed “really bad”, though he also thought the allegations could be a “smear” against Gaetz.

“I don’t hope for anybody to be guilty of anything but it sounds like [Gaetz has] got a lot of explaining to do,” Barry Bennett, a longtime Republican operative and former Trump adviser, told the website.

“People underestimate Donald Trump’s political ear … For something like this, a 10ft pole is not long enough. The former president should stay as far away from this as possible.”

Fox News has also stayed quiet. As Vox reported, the Gaetz affair was not mentioned on the rightwing network on Thursday, or on Friday until the news anchor Brett Baier covered the allegations on his evening show.

That "10-foot pole" reference gave me an idea:

You're a pervert, Mr. Gaetz,
You really are unclean.
You're as tasteful as a tumor, you're as chaste as Charlie Sheen, Mr. Gaetz,
Your dating pool has a maximum age of nineteen!

You've got problems, Mr. Gaetz,
You are lacking self-control.
You're an overgrown frat brother and an incessant right-wing troll, Mr. Gaetz,
I wouldn't touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole!

And the Dr. Seuss reference is perfect too.

Bravo, panda!

Sometimes there is no other way to express one’s disdain for another. Those choices represent how they present themselves to the world, and they are choices.

Oh nos! Dead-end birther troll "ObligedFriend" latched on to a Gaetz tweet. Had to let folks know not to feed it

[Kendra]

I am thinking Randy Rainbow could do something with FRP's lyrics...

O goody, it's very racist birther ObligedFriend/Dancing rabbit/DraggingCanoe/e. vattel.

[Luke]

Northland, yeah. No idea how the little racist birfer found me, but it only lasted about 5 tweets before the big BLOCK. Even better, it blocked me too also. What a POS. Looked at recent tweets and it's still saying Michelle Obama was a biological male. 92K+ tweets of lies and hate. Honestly, if ObligedFriend wasn't a friend of Foggy's, would have blocked it long ago.

Well, this is something. "FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Jack Burkman & Jacob Wohl Offer $25,000 for Information Leading to the Arrest of Rep. Matt Gaetz". Will they just get the info & bury it, or sell it to @mattgaetz for $50K? Always an angle with that kid. #PrisonGaetz #GaetzGate

I'm thinking this might be the first time in his life Little Matt might be realizing that Daddy won't be able to fix this.

Delicious.

[Sunrise]

Also, regarding the alleged extortion/funding the Levinson rescue angle, I'm confused. Does Gaetz family even have $25 million to pay?

Dad made much much more than that when he sold his healthcare business in 2008.
A settlement for an undisclosed amount was subsequently made concerning allegations of Medicare fraud.
But yes, probably as much as $500 million.

Why does there always seem to be some sleazy connection between Florida politicians and Medicare fraud? The name Rick Scott immediately comes to mind.
