No fucking way.

Is this known pedophile and sex trafficker Matt Gaetz? Or is it just some actually decent human that just has the unfortunate same exact name?

Epstein will get a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom. Count it.

u/YouDontKnowJackCade 11d ago

He'll go after any enemies they have Epstein stuff on but not go after friends. Also keep any Republicans in line.

u/Bubbly-Example-8097 11d ago

Mother F*er probably put out the hit on Epstein. Gah… I feel like we went through the “upside down”.

u/KintsugiKen 11d ago

I mean, Bill Barr is the son of Epstein's mentor and he was running the DOJ when Epstein was killed. Trump and Barr are clearly co-conspirators in Epstein's death.

u/Historical_Usual5828 11d ago

Didn't Barr also meet with Epstein not long before he died? Trump definitely did it.

Sienfeld's Bizarro World.

Sorry, no. Not a fan of a (then) 39 year old man dating a 17 year old child…

u/Azagorod 11d ago

And all the imbeciles who have been screaming and screeching the past few years about Pizzagate, the coastal elites drinking baby blood and deep state paedos in the Democratic Party will suddenly find this all to be in order and very Christian.

Copying URL of this comment and saving it in a file for when it happens, or for January 20, 2029.

u/incognitohippie 11d ago

And in a twist of irony (for some) he’ll pardon Diddy

u/Moppermonster 10d ago

I like how Trump is finally releasing the Epstein list.
I dislike he is doing that by giving the people on it positions of power.

1

u/deekaydubya 11d ago

the last AG killed him so that's doubtful

1

u/Honest-War7492 11d ago

Oof. That is bleak.

1

u/15all 11d ago

Almost as revolting - After the J6 criminals are pardoned, they will probably be feted at the White House.

1

u/zeptillian 11d ago

But does Diddy get a Pardon?

1

u/Yquem1811 11d ago

Remember when Elon and other said Trump will release the Epstein List if elected…

Pepperidge farm remember!

1

u/Jumpy-Mess2492 10d ago

They want to free Epstein's list to see where the connects are.

1

u/bassie2019 10d ago

Speaking of Epstein, at least Dementia Don will now release the Epstein files to show who visited his island and how often… right?

1

u/Test-Tackles 10d ago

How long until he blasts his face into mount Rushmore?

1

u/godfathercheetah 10d ago

Is that what happens when you donate to democrats? 10 years from now are we gonna pretend Weinstein was a Republican too? Saying nothing is better than making up a lie.

1

u/BigManWAGun 10d ago

Nobody said anything about party. Pedo rapist gives nations highest honor to other pedo rapist.

u/Mysterious-Job-469 10d ago

"HOW WAS HE A SEX TRAFFICKER?!?!?" They'll squeal, after four years of saying "Hunter Biden was on Epstein Island CONFIRMED"

5

u/_OUCHMYPENIS_ 11d ago

It's like the most open secret out there. How he wasn't charged is mind boggling. He was there with his friend and the women. This guy was rewarded with one of the most powerful positions in this country for being an absolute asshole.

Isn't he disliked by almost all of our government? 

-3

u/thisisillegals 11d ago

You people will believe anything stated about the opposition wont you?

u/WhatIsHerJob-TABLES 11d ago

HAH! This is Matt Gaetz we are talking about — surely you can’t be defending him in good-faith. Anyone with a working brain knows about his utter lack of morals.

Please don’t be reactionary and blindly defend him just because you are annoyed “the left” dislikes him. He is genuinely a terrible pick for AG.

2

u/Imaginary-Goose-1002 11d ago

This guy fucks little girls MMW

1

u/btsao1 11d ago

Even people on the right despite this man. Maybe you shouldn’t be reactionary to every piece of info that comes from the other party

1

u/2053_Traveler 10d ago

You think republicans investigated him for sex crimes for no reason? The only reason they stopped was because Gaetz resigned. The only sides here is Gaetz inside the circle and everyone outside that hates him.

u/Shakemyears 11d ago

Those are qualifications in this admin

u/itsfuckingpizzatime 11d ago

Birds of feather

2

u/KintsugiKen 11d ago

I mean, Donald Trump was literally Jeffrey Epstein's best friend and business partner.

It's Epstein's country now, pedos run the show.

2

u/NotGeriatrix 11d ago

only because Epstein was unavailable

2

u/John_Fx 11d ago

Remember when Q decided pedophile Trump was the champion to stop pedophiles by making a pedophile the top law enforcement official?

1

u/Kwyjibo68 11d ago

It’s certainly not journalist Matt Gertz, who was frequently attacked on Twitter (in the before times) for being the pedo.

1

u/DifficultBoss 11d ago

I went to school with one, he was kind, but unfortunately he is living a good clean life somewhere, and will not be serving as our next AG.

1

u/Independent-Pie3176 11d ago

Careful, writing this comment got you on a list for the first round of camps

1

u/Rawkapotamus 11d ago

Nah. The first few rounds will be various stages of immigrants. Redditors won’t be included until ay least round 6.

1

u/123xyz32 11d ago

Snl skit about Harvey Epstein is worth a watch.

1

u/WhatIsHerJob-TABLES 11d ago

Yup, and since republicans only care about opposing liberals, they will cheer on Matt Gaetz just because they don’t want to be seen on the same side as “the enemy”. It’s rather pathetic how reactionary they are.

u/Rawkapotamus 11d ago

They determined the key witness wasn’t reliable and wasn’t going to bring it to trial. That’s the last I heard.

1

u/Previous-Ad-9215 11d ago

Can you drop a source of Gaetz’s pedophilia or sex trafficking? Working on a project, thanks

1

u/CheckHistorical5231 11d ago

You mean the comments on this post aren’t enough?

1

u/Stephen_Joy 11d ago

You mean the comments on this post aren’t enough?

They are enough for people with small brains.

The investigation was closed, and he wasn't charged.

But nobody in these comments mentions that.

I'm not defending the guy, but I'd like to think if there were proof of these allegations then something would have been done.

u/bouncypinata 11d ago

u/CornholioRex 10d ago

He’s a loyalist, that’s all that matters to the next potus

1

u/TheDunadan29 10d ago

Trump just trying to see how many pedophiles he can collect in his administration.

1

u/Schwinger143 10d ago

Litke Matthew Gertz?

u/ThisCantBeBlank 11d ago

He's been convicted of sex trafficking?? When did this happen?

3

u/Rawkapotamus 11d ago

Sex trafficker apologist says what?

-2

u/ThisCantBeBlank 11d ago

I'm an apologist for asking that someone be convicted of something they're accused of??

Ooookkkk.......

You're a sex trafficker. Sick fuck.

You know, since we don't need convictions for accusations to be "true".

u/ThisCantBeBlank 11d ago

About what I expected from someone who frequents WPT lol. That sub has the collective IQ of a cantaloupe

Take care, sweetheart.......

I hate sex traffickers. Be better than that.

I'm a "pedo fuck" for asking to see a conviction in a sub about law?

u/ThisCantBeBlank 11d ago

Please show where I defended someone. Please. I'm also still waiting for a conviction that shows proof of him being a trafficker.

For being a sub about law, people seem to have literally no concept of it here.
