Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

I do have a question that I want to ask:
What is it about Gaetz that makes him a bit of a sacred cow amongst MAGA and GAW, someone that is above criticism, even above Donald Trump?
I meant, I skimmed through all of the GAW posts about Gaetz for the past couple of years, nothing but praise. Practically a perfect record.
Almost TOO perfect.
Do you think that it is a bit suspicious that he is practically the perfect MAGA-man with not a flaw? Maybe it is paranoia, but I cannot shake the lingering doubt that Gaetz is a trap for MAGA by the sheer improbability of how perfect Gaetz is.
I am not sure what exactly you mean by this. For goodness sake, he allowed himself to be entrapped into sleeping with a 17 year old.
I don't think anyone here thinks he is some kind of a sacred cow or someone above criticism. He gets criticised plenty, from both sides.
What makes him special is his cahunas. He took reporters into the Congress and showed all the big wigs including the chairman of Ethics committee and exposed how they do insider trading and are "untouchable".'
He grilled FBI cyber division head about hunter biden laptop and in the end surprised him with the fact that he had a copy of the laptop contents. He went full wolverine on Wray.
Basically he does things that very few congressmen do and thats why everyone thinks he would have been perfect for AG. But I think Trump has a very special surprise role for him.
I certainly don't think he's perfect. This was posted earlier today. It's an interesting read. Who knows if it's true. The OP states it jells with what he said on Tucker a few years back.

I get those vibes from Kari Lake. But if there's one thing I know, it's that we'll all be in for some surprises of who is on which team when the curtain rises. In the meantime she sounds good.
Come to think of it, Kari Lake is also one of those who seem to be a sacred cow around our MAGA circles, and with a suspiciously clean record and perfect score-card.
Except before leaving the newscasting biz, she explicitly supported democrats, including Hillary and Biden, and freely criticized Trump. It was her snappy, perfect comebacks to the gotcha questions when she was running for governor that made me more suspicious.
But she talks the perfect talk today. I'm looking forward to declass to see how they all shake out.
I followed one guy who said he (Gaetz) was replaced early on in Trump's administration. Replaced because he was taken out due to pedo stuff. It doesn't exactly explain the MAGA perfection scorecard, and the dropping of charges from his i investigation, and his withdrawal from AG consideration, but it would also fit with all of those. The before-after pictures looked convincing, but I didn't research it myself. He listed some articles, but his argument is circumstantial and far from proof. He made the argument in a very long format video, but he also made a 3 minute excerpt - https://rumble.com/v4byiu0-fake-maga-matt-gaetz.html
Hmm...
Just looked at that video. It is a data point we can investigate further, if only to confirm Gaetz's true allegiances and if he is a Patriot, or a viper.
If he's a replacement actor, the actor is undoubtedly a patriot and using Gaetz's credentials for our cause.
