Ginger Gaetz’s ‘End Of An Era’ Post Defending Her Husband Gets Her Pelted With Mockery

Ginger Gaetz is the wife of former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), and she came to his defense Thursday after he withdrew his name from consideration as the next Attorney General of the United States because his alleged sexual dalliances with underage girls all but guaranteed he could never be confirmed by the U.S. Senate.

Shortly after her husband made his decision, Mrs. Gaetz went on social media and tried to defend him with five words: “The end of an era.”

What the hell?! What era is it the end of? The pervert era? After all, her husband was under investigation for allegedly having sex with underage girls whom he later paid to buy their silence. Is this creep supposed to be lauded for that?

Mrs. Gaetz’s tweet got her royally roasted online.

Don Jr. Rubs Something On His Gums At SpaceX Launch And The Internet Has Some Thoughts

For years now, there have been rumors (and let’s be clear that’s all they are) that Donald Trump Jr. is fond of certain illegal substances that cause people to act in suspicious ways.

For example, at the 2020 Republican National Convention, Don Jr. have a speech looking like might be using some sort of drug that’s known to boost a person’s energy level and leave them, for lack of a better phrase, “amped up.”

Here’s that infamous 2020 speech:

Do normal people speak like that? Nope. They don’t.

And now we have another example of Don Jr. possibly indulging in that same substance, which could be cocaine.

During an appearance with his father this week for a SpaceX rocket launch in Texas (no doubt to appease Elon Musk, who owns SpaceX), Junior reached into his pocket, withdrew it, and rubbed a finger on his gums.

For those who don’t know, there’s a reason a person using cocaine makes such a move to their mouth, as explained by Icarus Behavioral Health:

“Gumming, or rubbing cocaine powder on the gums, is a method some users rely on for two reasons. They (a) want to test the purity before the purchase of or use of cocaine. Or (b), they want to feel a cocaine high almost immediately.”

“The gums have many blood vessels, enabling cocaine absorption into the body quickly. This speedier absorption means the person can get high faster than smoking or snorting cocaine.”

That led Jimmy Kimmel to note on his show, “Let’s not jump to conclusion. Maybe he’s got some Fun Dip in there. Maybe his veneers were hurting and he needed a little dollop of Sensodyne.”

Social media joined the fun and took it from there.

Donald Trump Social Media WTF?!

Video Circulating Online Leaves People Wondering If Trump Just Had Plastic Surgery

It’s redundant to suggest that something very strange is going on with Donald Trump, but a video shared on social media Tuesday is causing a major online debate about whether or not the twice-impeached president-elect may have had plastic surgery.

The video in question shows Trump standing next to Twitter/X CEO Elon Musk as they watch a rocket launched by Musk’s SpaceX company.

Reuters reported on the launch:

Elon Musk’s SpaceX launched its giant Starship rocket to space from Texas on Tuesday, advancing the ship’s spaceflight abilities but botching an attempt to bring its booster back to land as U.S. President-elect Donald Trump watched from the company’s rocket facilities.

The roughly 400-foot-tall (122-meter-tall) rocket system, designed to land astronauts on the moon and ferry crews to Mars, lifted off at 4 p.m. CT (2200 GMT) from SpaceX’s sprawling rocket development site in Boca Chica, Texas.

And here’s the video of Trump with Musk:

Is that really Trump, or someone wearing a Trump mask, sort of like the ones you see in the “Mission: Impossible” movies? Or did Donnie visit Melania’s plastic surgeon and have some work done to make himself look younger as he prepares for another term in office?

Commentary varied from mockery to conspiracy theories.

Donald Trump Jr. Foreign Policy Social Media

‘Disgusting’ Don Jr. Pelted With Online Barbs After He Tastelessly Trolls Ukraine’s Zelenskyy

Now that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s favorite American puppet, Donald Trump, is once again about to occupy the Oval Office and control U.S. foreign policy, it appears that the nation of Ukraine will soon be sacrificed to the Russians and forced to sign a peace agreement that will allow Putin to keep major portions of another sovereign country, which is in direct violation of numerous international agreements.

Will Donald Trump sell out our Ukrainian allies and allow Putin to keep his ill-gotten gains? Based on a social media posting from the president-elect’s son, Donald Trump Jr., it certainly seems so.

Don Jr. shared a video on Instagram of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy next to the disgraced president-elect along with a message:

“POV: You’re 38 Days from losing your allowance.”

Junior’s hateful posting drew plenty of pushback.

Secret Service Alerted After Michael Flynn Posts Online Message ‘Threatening’ Barack Obama

The United States Secret Service was flagged after retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn posted on Twitter that former President Barack Obama “must be held accountable.”

Flynn was responding to another Twitter user’s message: “Never Forget who these people are and what they did!” 

That led Flynn to reply, “I’m like an elephant, except I’m an Irish elephant. Not only will I never forget, I will never forgive. People must be held accountable.”

“And you all know precisely who you are. [Obama] yup, starts with you,” Flynn said. “You tried to destroy my family as well as [Trump] and his family along with our country…unforgivable,” Flynn added.

Investigative reporter Dave Troy flagged Flynn’s posting with a note calling for the Secret Service to get involved.

“No big deal. Just a Putin-aligned retired general threatening a former president. What do you say@SecretService, does he get a doorknock, or are we no longer in that business? The public wants to know.@POTUS @NatSecCNN“

Flynn has hated Obama ever since the former president warned Donald Trump not to hire the ex-general for a position in his first administration.

“Former President Obama warned President Donald Trump against hiring Mike Flynn as his national security adviser, three former Obama administration officials tell NBC News.”

“The warning, which has not been previously reported, came less than 48 hours after the November election when the two sat down for a 90-minute conversation in the Oval Office.”

Despite that warning, Trump hired Flynn as his national security adviser, only to sack him three weeks later for lying to then-Vice President Mike Pence when asked about conversations he’d had with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. regarding the easing of sanctions on Russia.

It remains unclear if Trump will bring Flynn back once he takes office again in January. Could Flynn even pass a security check or be trusted with classified information?

Of course, considering that Trump himself stored classified documents in unsecured locations at his Mar-a-Lago resort, national security doesn’t exactly seem to be a high priority for Donald or those around him.
