      I think the timing is weird. This is old news, for sure. They’re throwing Gaetz to the wolves to have a chaotic diversion from the epstein files.

        I think billionaires are realizing he’s actually not good for the economy or their money after all. So they’re going to rightly use the truth to get this stuff to the right media this time and force him out.

        He’s out by Valentine’s Day was my call. Of all the stuff he’s done, it may have been screwing with JPow and Lisa Cook that does him in.

            Maybe, yeah. To some extent though, I think perception is reality.

            I think if the overwhelming reaction is “nothing will come of it”, it makes it more likely that nothing will come of it. But the media is certainly acting like it could be more.

            At least my friend’s reaction, “he’ll never be held accountable for his crimes” still acknowledges that he’s a criminal that should be behind bars.
