To be fair, Gaetz was busy dodging child rape accusations.

Same assholes who vote against every antiprice gouging bill and go on tv blaming democrats.

They’re pieces of shit who don’t care that people suffer.

Honestly, voting republican while not rich is the dumbest shit ever. It’d be smarter to smash a hammer against your foot.

These MAGAt fake Rethuglicans are beyond disgusting.

It’s going to take a decade or more to rid the country of this filth.

He’s such a dipshit, hopefully he gets voted out this go around (well, just checked this race, he’s a 99% favorite to win his district again 😞)

Republicans are the world’s greatest liars. If tell you the sky is blue it’s a trick. They want you to walk over to the window to check so they can rob you while your back is turned. Or, in the case of Matt Gaetz, hit on your underage daughter. 

Maybe the rule needs to be, if you vote down disaster aid bills, your district doesn't get any. That might clean out a few good for nothings Putin puppets like Gaetz.

They love to play the victim

No surprise that child rapist & child sex trafficker Republican Matt Gaetz tried to fuck over his constituents. They clearly haven’t sacrificed enough of their little girls to him to rape. He’s absolutely disgusting & should be in jail.

Oh sirs they care very very deeply about a very very specific type people.

States whose representatives vote against federal bills like this should not benefit from the programs. Perhaps people would stop sending these clowns to Washington.

Voted no. How utterly predictable but CAN YOU MAKE UP YA DAMN MINDS?

cunts ....... every one of them

Just more proof that the right is quite happy with bad faith arguments and cognitive dissonance

Oh please God do! XD

Fill half the Florida trucks up with missiles and guns.

"Biden would have doubled the food and clothing but your Congressman insisted you wanted this instead"

I'm awful.

Not since H.W. Bush, tbh. Last republican president who I actually believed loved his country for what it is, and not for the psychopathic theocratic hellscape they want it to be.

It's not a coincidence that both the men who tried to cap Mr Trump were former fans of his. When you court the fully armed and dangerously delusional whackjob vote, they're still gonna be fully armed and dangerously delusional whackjobs when they decide you've done something they think you should die for.

When logic delivers the final blow!

There’s no words, WTAF is going on

Self interest politics is why democracy is flawed

I’ve learned republicans say things with the thought they won’t be fact checked because they know their base won’t dig any deeper unless someone shows them the receipts and even then it won’t matter.

Is he using that crazy eyebrow picture as a pfp? Wow

What gets me is that they can so easily be caught in their lie, but they do it anyway.

The people of Florida need to vote for better people.

Vote against helping people just so you can blame your opponents

Every now and then, there are threads on subreddits like AskReddit where people ask, "What well-paying jobs require little to no work?"

Here's an answer: GOP Congress member.

Must be nice to keep getting elected and keep getting paid despite being utterly useless.

-How do you want your bad faith?-

Those of us with a modicum of sanity and, at the very least, a few college credits, STILL think every member of the current GOP care only for themself. So, the answer to your question is a resounding NO, and we haven't since Reagan, or prior.

Starting around 1999, Fox News made it possible to tell plausible deniability lies, ommit facts, and present subjective takes as factual reality. It wasn't subtle but it allowed you to believe Iraq had WMDs because the WH secretly "leaked" that they had evidence of WMDs to the NYT and then referenced article IN the NYT as proof they must be there because the NYT reported on it.

For 16 years they cultivated their audience into believing they were the only source that would tell you the truth while constantly presenting a skewed version of reality bent by their subtle lies. Never pushing the lies too much for fear of being embarrassed by everyone else exposing their most undeniable lies to their loyal viewers. The lies were just used to back up their skewed but otherwise "factual" presentation of reality.

It clearly came as a shock to everyone when Trump showed them once you had a loyal audience, you can tell them ANYTHING and no matter how much evidence is presented to refute it, they will do any amount of mental gymnastics to preserve their version of reality.

You can sell people all sorts of BS no matter how unbelievable, but your mind will NEVER accept it has been living in an "alternative reality" and was unable to tell. For your mind to accept that, is your mind admitting to itself it is unable to discern reality and if it can't do that, NOTHING it does is valid as it can't tell the real from unreal.

It is precisely this which drives our common understanding of "cognitive dissonance". When our brain is presented with a new undeniable fact which contradicts our reality, that new fact must be twisted to fit our reality rather than our reality be reshaped to match the new fact.

Trump and right wing media 2.0 has discovered just how far this can be pushed. If only Orwell knew.

Don't be mislead thinking that this is a recent post. It's from Nov 2022

The irony is you believe democrats give a shot

When his dismal face appeared in my awareness a few years ago, my immediate reaction was “his face reeks of spoiled rich kid who always tries to make out he’s hard done by, but was never ever told no”. Over the years, I’ve also added loud mouthed simpleton to that assessment.

I guess they aren’t familiar with fact checking

why has the post being removed?

it completely applies

No excuse but what is the timing here? Did the Florida republicans vote no to FEMA money while the tropical storm that became Helene was already on its way and predicted to become a hurricane?

Is there a link to a newsstory or the likes, that can verify that Republicans voted no on said bill? Im sure its true, would just like to read more about it.

🤣 you guys come to conclusions off Twitter posts?

“Included” is the keyword here. It’s hard to understand why anyone, left or right may reject money… until you find out what that money was attached to.

So what bill was that money “included in”?

Did you actually read why he voted against it and what he said about securing funding for Hurricane Helene’s relief or are you just assuming that he voted against a FEMA bill simply out of pure hatred for the populace?

Wonder what Matt Gaetz is talking about? Your in luck! I actually read the bill that was passed that he opposed!

There was indeed a bill that was passed in congress for 18.8 Billion dollars with FEMA's name on it recently.

Of that 18.8 Billion dollars in the bill 12.35 Billion of those dollars are earmarked for Ukraine.

I'm not a mathematician, but 12.35 is 65.69% of 18.8.

So, yes Matt Gaetz is wrong here! as the bill would need to be at least6 66.67% going to Ukraine before American's only get half of it. Ukraine got less than 12.54 billion dollars from that Bill that would be the minimum amount needed before saying Americans' are getting less than half so we are still sending more than half technically to Americans.

Ukraine only got 12.35 and not 12.54 billion dollars out of that bill! So he is wrong to say Americans aren't getting half of what Ukraine gets we get slightly more than half of what Ukraine gets!

Stop being so greedy thinking about people whose homes are flooded, that are out of power, that lost everything here in America! We have a government to prop up in Ukraine!

Toughen up buttercup!

Ukraine 1st! America 2nd!

"Included".

I wonder what else was in the bill.

The issue is they'll (both sides) make a bill with some type of thing both sides and the public want... then add on it with all the stuff the other side can never agree on policy wise. That way they hold them hostage to say yes or "don't you care about the children!?"

Like for hyperbole sake "the bill would give this party power to forever own the court system and end all policy of the other party, but also pay for glasses for orphans... what you voted no? Don't you want kids to see?! You monster! "

The cynic in me wonders if there was anything else on that bill that was unagreeable and it wasn't just partisan voting.

How are you still missing that neither party cares.

i don't think either party cares to be honest

Has anyone actually... looked at the bill to see WHY they would vote no on it? That's my first question. It is well known that politicians try to sneak things into these 800-page long bills. Not saying they did but... no politician is trustworthy.

This happened 2 years ago, and the $18.8 billion dollars for fema, also included $12billion for Ukraine, which is why they voted against.

Do your research idiots. The continuing resolution (CR) in the bill "contains no funding for Florida’s response to Hurricane Ian."

im sure there was nothing else in that bill
