    Gaetz was addressing Turning Point a few days ago then CNN's Erin Burnett asked Short about what Gaetz said about Pence.

    The irony is Gaetz is right and hopefully Short will be right about Gaetz.
    Gaetz obviously hit a real sore spot with Short who has to know that a possible Pence presidency is laughable.



    “Our America is proudly ultra MAGA, not some low-energy roadside rhino safari,” Gaetz said, referring to former President Trump’s 2016 campaign slogan of “Make America Great Again.”

    “On that note, let me just say what everybody here knows: Mike Pence will never be president,” Gaetz said to cheers from the crowd. “Nice guy. Not a leader.”

    Pence will never be POTUS, ever.
    Gaetz is a "just legal" teen molester it would appear and Short is for some reason, unknown to me, loyal to Pence, the dead man walking. Let them take each other down :thumbsup:

    Do some research if you have a question, no need to derail a thread.

    It's been law for 20 yrs, and he thinks the gov't hasn't accurately defined human trafficking?
    Maybe because it fits his background and he doesn't want gov't interfering in his business?

    Did you notice, most if not all of those 20 who voted no, are also the one's who spout QAnon conspiracy theories quite a bit.
    They have no real credibility.

    Gaetz doesn't have a valid argument because Trump is not a leader. He's an idiot and bully. That's not leadership.

    Further, Pence was a leader at the most critical time of any chaotic event in the history of our country for decades.

    So, maybe it's time for people to get back to the business of electing people that know how to honor their oaths of office and not make our country a *******n reality show that allows a psychopath access to our nuclear codes again.

    No, it was totally wrong.
    I went to view that post and the entire thread is gone.

    That's how terrible your post must have been.

    Pence, who showed courage and Patriotism, is now an outcast in the mainstream republican eyes.
    That crowd that trump and gaetz belong to are the most unpatriotic to hold office, probably since the Civil war.

    But the Civil war restored the USA, these clowns are set to destroy the USA.

    My point (highlighted) is Gaetz is right about Pence not ever becoming president and that he's not a leader.
    What Gaetz believes about Trump is irrelevant.

    "On that note, let me just say what everybody here knows: Mike Pence will never be president,” Gaetz said to cheers from the crowd. “Nice guy. Not a leader.”

    And, I disagree with him and you. He's more of a leader than a psychopathic, narcisstic bully.
    It is absolutely relevant because the quote you posted implies that he's comparing Pence to Trump.
    See previous comments.

    Makes one nauseated that so many don't have an issue with pedophiles and/or psychopaths.

    There was nothing wrong with the thread or my post. There is simply a double standard as to what can be directed at conservatives and how much less can be directed at liberals and maintain healthy debate here. Secular progressive wokes are so thin skinned. They can dish it on Trump and his supporters but comparable return fire is not to be tolerated

    imo: Pence never showed courage or patriotism throughout his 4 yrs as VP.

    He went along with the lies and delusions about the election being stolen and also his possible role in not counting the electoral votes, he knew long before the 6th that he wasn't going there.

    If he had a spine he would have spoken up but he and Mother were praying for some Christo-fascist miracle that would have kept both him and Trump in office past Jan 20th.

    There was plenty wrong with the thread apparently.
    Else we could view it and discuss it.
    Likely was a flamebait thread?

    I agree that he was a spineless and complicit by not warning the American public and our lawmakers about Trump being psycho but he did step up to the plate on January 6, 2021. His security tried to evacuate him and he refused to leave everyone else behind knowing that no extra help was coming. That is an act of courage irrespective of his spinelessness any other time during that Administation.
    He did tell him. Trump ignores everything he dislikes hearing. He KNOWINGLY lied to those rally attendees to incite that riot to get back at Pence. He is still telling the same lie to keep people worked up.

    Until jan 6 when he finally stood up to trump and let the constitution guide his decision on that day.

    But yes, for 4 yrs, he was a trump butt kisser and it's what is costing him now.
    He should have had the balls to say no to being VP for such a loser in the 1st place.

    "
    Gaetz among 20 House Republicans who voted against anti-human trafficking bill"

    "The bill calls for allocating more than $1.1 billion over five years to reapprove and bolster programs that were created under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000.

    According to the measure, local educational agencies operating in a high-intensity sex trafficking area or a location with significant child labor trafficking would be prioritized for Frederick Douglass Human Trafficking Prevention Education Grants. Local educational agencies that work with nonprofit organizations focused on human trafficking prevention education and partner with law enforcement would also be prioritized, among other groups.

    The legislation would also reauthorize the Department of Homeland Security’s Angel Watch Center, which is meant to prevent international sex tourism travel perpetrated by child sex offenders, and improve trafficking prevention education for children by including parents and law enforcement in child trafficking and online grooming prevention."

    What is considered “flame bait” by thin skinned liberals from conservatives is totally different that that which liberals may inflict upon conservatives. And for the record wine elites are not morally superior to any one.

    LOL, liberals reported my post that got deleted because I used the term trumplicans? A shortened version of trump republicans.

    I don't think so. I think it's those who are 'thin skinned', aka trump republicans.

    Now, how about posting on the thread topic, that being trump lackey Gaetz voting against the sex trafficking bill that is 22 yrs old, while he's under investigation for sex trafficking himself.
    Because one of his best friends has already plead guilty to some charges related to sex trafficking.

    I’m not the one who initiated the off topic veer into me. I simply didn’t let it go unchallenged. We know thin skinned liberals report far more than pro MAGA Trump conservatives do.
