Don't trust Matt Gaetz. The establishment is clearly trying to prop him up and inject him as a successor to Donald Trump. He is cooked up in a lab to appeal to Trump voters: A right-wing strongman who isn't afraid to take on the media.

It's all a lie though. Gaetz, as a never-married 32-year old man, somehow "acquired" (NOT legally adopted) a 12 year old boy from Cuba that has lived alone with him for the past 6 years. He sickeningly refers to the boy as his "son."

Don't fall for it.

He, along with every other GOP House member, allowed H.R. 8089 to pass by unanimous consent today; not a single one of them oppose keeping the supply of H1B's flowing for big tech when there are many Americans that would love to have a job. They are all garbage, every fucking one.

I know it seems bizarre (because it is), but seriously, just take two seconds to type "Matt Gaetz son" into google.

Here are 3 articles about it:

Between this and his prior DUI, Matt Gaetz's personal life is a disaster. The guy is weird as hell. He is totally compromised.

Trust but verify. In this case, I don't consider the "son" to be anything more than unusual.

From what I gather, he has helped raise the brother of one of his ex-girlfriends (link) after the boy's mother died (link), and even Katie Hill vouches for how much Gaetz cares about his "son". After 6 years, the relationship developed into a paternal one, which doesn't seem too unnatural to me. Calling it sickening is a bit much.

Regarding the successor part, one could also argue that the establishment doesn't want another Trump, so they wouldn't be propping anybody up. Without more proof, I can't call him "cooked up in a lab".

Sounds like a pretty paper-thin cover-story for pretty out in the open grooming and pederasty. (Seriously, where the hell was CPS during all of this?) How many never-married 32 year old men do you know go around raising unrelated 12 year old boys with alive parents? It is completely bizarre. It is so bizarre, I honestly don't blame people for reflexively down voting me above, because it is just that weird.

The best way to stop a political movement is to subvert and co-opt it. Donald Trump is part of a larger, growing movement in western countries for populist nationalism. It's not just about him personally.

The Epstein revelations make one fact very clear: American "democracy" is carefully controlled by intelligence / foreign interests through a combination of corruption and blackmail of its representatives. They love people with skeletons in their closets. Closet-cases like Matt Gaetz should not be trusted.
