Gaetz: “Imma dip”
US checks and balances: “well, we tried”
Was it because of the kid-fucking, Matt? I bet it was about the kid-fucking.
He’s my congressman, and I’ll be the very last to defend him, but a 17-yo is hardly a “kid”. So stop the bullshit. There’s plenty to nail him to the wall without lying.
“engaged in sexual misconduct and/or illicit drug use, shared inappropriate images or videos on the House floor, misused state identification records, converted campaign funds to personal use, and/or accepted a bribe, improper gratuity, or impermissible gift,”
Look, if you didn’t lose your virginity until your 30s, maybe a 17-yo is a child to you. By the time I was 18, my gf (17) and I had fucked every way we could figure out. She was no child.
Ah but hopefully he IS the last, at least on this thread, so he’s actually right!
You claimed that you would be the last to defend him, then defended him? Like what?
Being in your thirties and having sex with someone nearly half your age is wildly inappropriate. There’s so little that you would have in common as far as life experiences go. The years from 18-25 are some of the most influential in life and leaves people vulnerable to grooming. Experts claim that the brain hasn’t even fully developed in most adults until 25 years old. Finding people in that age attractive as a 35 year old is fine. Watch porn to your hearts content, but pursuing a relationship or sexual encounter with someone in early adulthood is just weird. It doesn’t need to be illegal to be fucking weird or predatory. In Gaetz’s case it just so happens to be all three.
You seem to know a lot about him to forget it wasn’t just about having sex with a minor, he was being investigated for sex trafficking a minor across state lines - https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/matt-gaetz-s-ex-girlfriend-testifies-grand-jury-sex-trafficking-n1287352
Didn’t his buddy get arrested for creating fake IDs for underage girls also? Or some shit like that. Lol
It would be a shame if the Ethic Committee report got leaked somehow. A real shame…
Just amend the report to say ‘and then he retired’ and send it.
Yeah, people act like politics is governed by some strictly enforced rules that can never be violated. They can kind of just do whatever they want and the worst they’ll get is a tsk tsk.
You mean “and then he became the US Attorney General.”
That has to be a hell of a damning report.
I’m not sure this one will pass congressional approval. I could see it easily going in either direction.
Only to become appointed AG
