Matt Gaetz is a terrible guy. Trump wants revisionist history, that is why Gaetz is important to Trump.

There isn't anything exceptional about this. He is a reflection of the beliefs of Trump and Trump World. We know he is a terrible guy. There isn't anything new here.

Left is Florida District 1.

WASHINGTON — Former Rep. Matt Gaetz, (click here) the Florida Republican who Donald Trump wants to be the next attorney general of the United States, has spread lies about the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol and championed the cause of Jan. 6 defendants whose cases he would oversee if confirmed to the job.

Trump’s nomination of Gaetz, the recent target of a federal sex trafficking probe that ended without charges, has sent shockwaves through Congress and through the Justice Department, a law enforcement institution that Gaetz himself has repeatedly targeted, including with false claims.

“Many attorneys and staff are struggling to find the right emotional response to the reality that’s unfolding before us,” said one law enforcement source close to the Jan. 6 investigation, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to speak candidly about the potential head of their department....

Besides realizing Gaetz has every intention of nullifying the reality of January 6, 2021, he will do so by turning loose the prisoners currently responsible for the acts of violence that day. He isn't making the USA safer.

Federal investigators (click here) established a trail of payments from Matt Gaetz, President-elect Donald J. Trump’s choice to be attorney general, to women including some who testified that Mr. Gaetz hired them for sex, according to a document obtained by The New York Times and a lawyer representing some of the women.

The document, assembled by investigators during a three-year sex-trafficking investigation into Mr. Gaetz, is a chart that shows a web of thousands of dollars in Venmo payments between Mr. Gaetz and a group of his friends, associates and women who had drug-fueled sex parties between 2017 and 2020, according to testimony that participants are said to have given to federal and congressional investigators.

At the parties, women, and a girl who was 17 at the time, were paid for sex, according to accounts of the participants’ testimony from people briefed on what they said.

The document bolsters recent claims by a lawyer for two of the women who say they had sex with Mr. Gaetz for money. It shows thousands of dollars in payments Mr. Gaetz made to both of the lawyer’s clients....

The SEX CONNECTION OF TRUMP APPOINTEES DOESN'T END WITH GAETZ.

These are the moral police, right? I mean Trump is the second coming.

His Secretary of Education is linked to child sexual molestation. Are children safe with McMahon's look the other way lifestyle?

Trump tapped Linda McMahon, (click here) his transition team co-chair and a former WWE executive, to serve as the next secretary of Education.

- A lawsuit filed last month on behalf of five former WWE "Ring Boys" accused McMahon and her husband, WWE mogul Vince McMahon, of being complicit in the grooming and sexual exploitation of children.

- The lawsuit alleged the McMahons knowingly gave ringside announcer Melvin Phillips Jr. "free reign" to entice boys as young as 12 or 13 to help around the shows.

- The lawsuit also alleged that the McMahons knew since at least as early as the 1980s that Phillips had a "peculiar and unnatural interest" in boys....

Florida has a rather significant problem with prostitution. Polk County is in the center of the State of Florida. The sex trade practices in Florida are wide spread.

Just sayin'.

President Barack Obama

(Click here)

President Obama holds the lowest homicide rate in the USA. It was consistently low all the years he was in office. 2014 was the best. Rates started to go up when Trump arrived on the political scene June of 2015. The rate of homicide under Trump escalated with 2020 his highest and among the highest in the last 34 years.

Trump likes to grandstand about undocumented crimes especially when the victim is a woman because his record on escalating violence in general while involved with politics is abysmal.

It was slowing down again with President Biden in office, but, with Trump carrying on like a two year old it still was far higher than it should be. It will increase and skyrocket again next year. This should be a huge issue for the 2026 elections. Trump has a horrible record on most things.

President Obama had a great Attorney General and Eric Holder did not put up with police abuse of power. As a matter of fact 2014 was the year Michael Brown (click here) was mercilessly gunned down over two packs of Cigarillos. It was the year Ferguson, Missouri met Eric Holder. Michael Brown was supposed to go to college a short while after his death. Michael Brown was a big burley man. He was loved by his family and lost his life needlessly. He was a threat to no one. There were so many, Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Freddie Grey, Alton Sterling, Walter Scott, Oscar Grant, Philando Castile, and Brionna Taylor. That is a short list. All Americans going about their lives with no intention of confronting a police officer. 

Two packs of Cigarillos is a misdemeanor. There should have been a police report and a visit to his family’s home, not a man hunt.

Singling out an undocumented worker for political points is racism. The fact of the matter is Trump can’t reduce violence so much as propagate it. Laken Riley’s death while tragic occurred in escalating hate speech by Trump. He is going to use her death to declare a national emergency to round up human beings in this country. The problem of homicides in the USA is a lot bigger than a Georgia nursing student death.

There is no rash of violence by undocumented workers in the USA. At least they show up for work and love their families while escaping violence in their home countries that no doubt will have funding pulled yet again.

The undocumented employers should stand with them against a president making a problem where it doesn’t exist.

I once worked as a tractor trailer driver. Met a lot of people, mostly men who were once living a hard life or in prison at one time. The drivers would chatter among themselves on the CB radios. I was a woman’s voice so it toned the conversations differently. The men were revealing of their lives in those conversations and they formed friendships that never existed before. They were elevated by humor and acceptance.

I drove exempt freight from Boston frozen fish to carrots and greens from McAllen, Texas and watermelons from Medina, California to Hunt’s Point Market. Rarely in those runs were there “neat” loads handled by tow motor. Most of the time it was the undocumented or migrant labor that loaded my haul on a 48 foot Dane trailer with a Thunderbird refrigerator. Those people were invaluable. They moved the food supply of a nation. 

I was ridiculed when I cranked up the Thunderbird while “the wetbacks” loaded my rig. All I remembered were the smiles and big “thank yous” as they left the trailer and I padlocked the door. 

Americans don’t realize how their country actually runs and how dysfunctional it will become with a communist president that hates rather seeks domestic tranquility.
