area sex creep Matt Gaetz came to Washington on his daddy’s dollars to do two things: leave a venmo trail of his crimes, and he can’t remember the other thing.

today we have a twofer from Hammerhead Matt.

first up: a couple of weeks ago, Gaetz brought some random dude to recite the Pledge of Allegiance at first meeting of the House Judiciary Committee. what Matty neglected to tell anyone is that this random dude just happens to be awaiting trial for murder.

but eventually people figured out who Random Dude was and Eric Swalwell was having none of it. here’s Eric teaching a master class in how to respond to performative-nonsense dipshittery:

The Recount @therecount
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) slams Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) for bringing “somebody that he met at a gun club” to the first House Judiciary Committee hearing to lead the Pledge of Allegiance. Turns out, Gaetz’s honored guest was charged with killing a family member in April 2019.

next, here’s Matt so smugly sure that he’s about open up a huge fucking can of gotcha and instead getting caught with his fingers in the Chinese propaganda cookie jar:

and now let’s end with Marjorie Sporkfoot stumbling over a simple sentence as only Madame Peach Tree Dish can. show this one to your drunk uncle the next time he mouths off about John Fetterman.

Mark Twain once said: “Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on, or by imbeciles who really mean it.” This is no longer up for debate.
