I’m guessing that his platform has a lot to say about age of consent laws.

He’ll get the Libertarian vote then. They like someone who practices what he preaches.

I’m honestly only about 50/50 on that.
If anything, Gaetz being all Kantian about his predilections and attempt universalizability seems a bit too internally consistent and (badly) principled for him vs. a more straightforward position that impunity is one of the prerogatives of Matt Gaetz; so the only general principle that can be derived from whatever he does is that he ought not to face consequences for it; but that he’s not necessarily interested in what happens to others who do similar things.

he should probably resign from congress now to focus on that campaign. election day 2026 is right around the corner and he needs to get that support lined up. i have a few empty boxes if he needs them to help clean out his office in D.C.

That magnificently off-putting first paragraph is angling for a Bulwer Lytton prize - congratulations!

I wonder if he thinks the $26MM from Burmese Python and Lionfish interests are just the stackable start he needs?
I was hoping he would run from Florida governor.
Wait, that contorted caricature of a human being wasn’t created with Midjourney? Yikes!

Yeah, I genuinely paused as well, trying to figure out whether it was a photograph or a mean-spirited caricature
It would take exceptional artistic skills to make a caricature that would exaggerate this… gentleman’s mean-spiritedness.

Does anyone else see this as a gift to the Democratic nominee for governor? Or is Florida that far gone?
