    Among the headlines against voter bills one stands out. “Apple is lobbying against a bill aimed at stopping forced labor in China”

    Qanon is awfully quiet seeing as Gaetz is supposed to be the medal of honor hero stopping child sex rings.

    I can’t wait to see how Qanon spins the matt gaetz saga. They still pretend that all dems are pedos, but they were ok electing a friend of alleged child trafficker epstein, and gaetz has been doing the exact same thing as what he accuses dems of doing. Pretty well all the conspiracies are projection away from what trump and other republicans are being indicted for doing.

    What will all of you say when and if this story turns out to be another hoax by the left? You know, like Adam Schiff getting in front of any camera he could find, claiming that evidence of Trump/Russia collusion was in plain sight? Turned out, every single intelligence officer he interviewed behind closed doors in his committee testified they had zero evidence of collusion. Then the moron tried to keep the transcripts from becoming public. I don’t happen to know if there is anything to these reports about Gaetz and neither do any of you that are convicting him. I wonder if any of you will admit you were wrong if the story falls flat? I’m pretty sure none of you admitted you were wrong after peddling the Russia hoax. The head liberal peddling the Russia hoax, Colbert didn’t.

    Could you Imagine if back in the day ‘The Colbert Report’ had never got the timeslot immediately after The Daily Show with Jon Stewart every day on comedy central?
    The only reason I ever watched colbert was because I wanted more daily show, and Colbert was basically the budget version that followed immediately after, though never once did an episode of stephen’s even compare to stewart’s.

    Now I regret every second I’ve ever watched colbert the coat rider speak.

    Ok, I know Corporate America is protesting Georgia’s voting laws because it’s good for their bottom line but all I have to say is: So What?
    Just because a good action came from questionable motives doesn’t make the action any worse. In all honesty, this is America and the most American thing is now happening; it’s no longer profitable to be racist. Essentially less government means a less racist government, America can eat its cake too.

    The Gaetz scandal seems like just some invented thing that some news channels are perfectly willing to get in on – for what purpose? Erosion of the mentality of the watchers, of course. But if I don’t watch it, that doesn’t stop someone else from doing so – does that feed into my psyche? It used to. Frankly, you just have to be responsible or yourself. And if you care about how others are getting sucked in, do something worthwhile about it, even if it means just posting something for others to read. Just don’t get drawn in by the ‘drama’ they say they’ve successfully created. They aren’t that important, even if they’re good at occupying the space you want somehow.
