How about confessions? I'll pitch in if anyone wants to request that.

I'd pay $500 for a video of him saying "I'm a disgraced weirdo."

Or better yet don’t give him a cent and fake it with AI.

[–] Exusia 18 points 1 month ago

As the main supporters of "don't pay people when you don't have to! That's Capitalism!" Using AI to fake gaetz would be the most appropriate action.

Just get him to make a video where he says, “Kamala is a disgraced weirdo.” And another where he says, “I’m a proud American.” and then edit them.

How is this not parody? I literally laughed and looked down at the instance expecting to see The Onion.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Nah, onions not parody any more

Went down the Santos path already, huh?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago

Give a the guy a break. You want him to wait a full 24 hours before grifting people or something?

[–] fluxion 31 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Imagine being a Matt Gaetz fan

[–] FlyingSquid 18 points 1 month ago

Do I have to?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago (1 children)

how long til he's on onlyfans or chaturbate?

[–] SpaceNoodle 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why are you assuming he's not?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Because all the girls on there are 18+

[–] FlyingSquid 5 points 1 month ago

That's why he pulled out of the AG position- he learned America was over 18.

[–] YourBrainOnScience 14 points 1 month ago

He is speed running the Giuliani career path and I am here for it. 🍿

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

FORMER Republican? But where will his District find another Child SeX Trafficker to Represent them since that's CLEARLY who they are?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He paid $450 to people for "being awesome." Why the hell would I pay him $500 for being garbage? I'm not into masochism.

That seems very cheap? Considering all the sunshine he must recurve from various industries

[–] Stupidmanager 4 points 1 month ago

I just want him to describe his job, but in the voice of butthead, from bevis and butthead. Will $500 get me that?
