I can not make a person's debt to society make sense. I can only advocate for prosecution and conviction. As far as GOP response. I would say perspective is at play regarding how this information is presented if it is seen at all. It is easy to "go home team", harder to give real criticism.
So, when Matt filled out that gun registration form, did he check the box that says “I am not a drug user”?
I’m sure that Republicans will be demanding that Gaetz be prosecuted to the full extent of the law for that, just like Hunter Biden was, right?
Right?" https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/why-is-cnn-sanewashing-trumps-threats
It’s just sports: attack when the other team makes a mistake, and prevent them from scoring when your team does. ‘Right’ and ‘wrong’ doesn’t enter into it. Why does the left have a problem understanding that?
It all began with Nixon & the idea of the GOP as the silent majority + incorporating the religious right and jettisoning the Rockefeller liberals. It's been a right-wing roller coaster ride since.
Who fucking told you that lie? I'm serious! Who told you that Republicans believe in truth and personal responsibility??? They never believed in that shit. They only believe in that shit book they keep talking about and even then they only believe in what their priests tell them to believe.
The top text is wrong and always has been. Take off the nostalgia Google and recognize that our political parties have been broken from the very beginning.
I don't have to make it make sense lmao, any rational faction attacks its opponents and protects its own members; it would need more explanation if they weren't like this. Democrats function the same way, I don't recall the party going very much out of its way to throw Bill Clinton to the wolves
over his sex assault scandal (which was itself only one of likely as many and gross as any Republican's). Come off your high horse and stop pretending that groups operate on abstract moral principles.
“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”
General Milley must come OUT of retirement and form a Junta Government and give our gov't back to Kamala and Walz. Trump is a danger and threat to Earth. That is: putin-musk-trump are a danger to our planet
But didn’t he pay her for sex in which state whate are the consent laws, did she identify herself as 17 or pretend to be older, what are the facts you just making it seem biased , hunter did some weird ish in Ukraine to, lock him up for the rest of his life lidle biden did black people for crack
It's especially bad that there are over a hundred other reports that haven't been released from actual people in congress who were charged that hasn't been released. Both sides of the aisle. Maybe Gaetz will be charged this time. Since they did not have evidence before.
I've looked at some of the complaints and evidence. There's not much there but I'm not sure that Gaetz is all that popular among the majority of Republicans
The GOP are fascist traitors to the flag here to make women broodmares, and end Constitutional elections. That's all the explanation I can give you, sadly.
Florida Law:
Unlawful sexual activity with certain minors: This involves an adult (24 years or older) engaging in sexual activity with a minor aged 16 or 17. It's a second-degree felony, punishable by up to 15 years in prison, fines up to $10,000, and mandatory registration as a sex offender.
republicans are playing for long term gains. they've got a team and they're going to do whatever it takes to win with that team. they've lost sight of morality or purpose.
and it's working.
make what you will of that, but it's important to understand that good intentions don't guarantee success.
Florida should include in an inquiry into Gaetz whether he bought a gun during the time period he was on drugs. I wouldn't be surprised; same crime as Hunter, and then we'll really see the GOP hypocrisy.
We can see their hypocrisy in literally everything they do. They don't care. Their followers don't care. Just like flat earthers don't care that there are mountains of evidence the earth is round. Just like anti-vaxxers don't care that vaccine science is incredibly thorough. They don't care.
And it doesn’t stop there
…rapes a 17 yr old, owns a gun, and used drugs -cocaine…isn’t that the same drug Hunter Biden was using when he owned a gun. 🤔🤔🤔Hypocrisy Fools!!!
I have been thinking about it a lot. I think it started in earnest after Nixon got pardoned and GOP leaned into the southern strategy. Picked up steam when the Democrats decided sexual harassment was fine in the Oval Office and an abusers popularity went up after it happened.
Continued with a war criminal who skated because people wanted to have a beer with him, leading into hope and change that turned into really just more of the same listening to money. Add a sprinkle of new media that we are not equipped to deal with and here we are. Just a theory.
Republicans: will defend guns to the death, would prefer their children get killed in school than allow ANY sort of gun legislation, hates the idea of the government knowing who owns guns, believes the 2A is the only amendment that can't be interpreted or changed.
Unfortunately, there are so many more that needs this type of scrutiny. I suggest everyone of them get the same sort of scrutiny, Republicans and Democrats. Make it so if they want to be a politician, they will know that ALL of their darkest secrets will be aired out in the public light.
Let me explain it to you. They don't take rape seriously. They don't see a problem with it. Why do you think they want to make the age of consent lower? Why do you think we still have child marriage? Why do you think they let their kids around priests? Especially if the victim is a AFAB.
To them women and especially girls, are PROPERTY. We are not human to Republicans. We are the equivalent of an appliance or a piece of furniture. This is why they want to say "there is no such thing as marital rape" or victim blame the 10 year old for being raped by her father?
Republicans don't see us as humans. They see us as objects. They always have. They always will. I don't know why it's so hard for people to see that when Republicans have outright displayed this shit REPEATEDLY.
Because they figuratively sold their souls to the devil for political power long time ago, a lot of the shit they’re doing now is because they’re realizing that they are fatally unpopular among the young and may actually have to pay up.
Stop assuming they care about hypocrisy, they aren’t the Fae.
Well, you see...
Laws are an agreement between different parties about what behaviors are acceptable and how they can be used. In this case, Red Team has made it clear they don't believe in enforcing them against people in their party; those are for people in other parties.
TLDR: Dickery!
And he said himself he was doing inappropriate things and drugs at that point in his life- wonder if he was under the influence when buying his own guns?.. pondering
Not true at all. If it actually turn out to be true Tehran ai say string him up next to Hunter. You know, The guy that there is actual video and photo evidence on being a pedophile. There is no room for that in any party, and should not be tolerated. Hang 'em high.
Same with Dems & Schumer (while married) on Epstein island kissing a little black girl on lips while he was shirtless. Same with Dems & Schumer making his young girlfriend (while married) have 2 abortions and his wife paying her $1 million hush money!!! Out “to get Gaetz” but NOT Joe the pedophile!
You've got a bad case of whattaboutism. Rather than deal with the topic, you prefer distract and divert.
Hope you like 20 dollar a carton eggs and poison air.
“Republicans” are just opportunistic nihilists without scruples of any kind.
They don’t actually believe in anything but will pretend to deeply believe in whatever they can use as a cudgel in the moment and then discard it without a second thought when it is convenient.
Remember all the high minded talk about ethics and morality when Bill Clinton was accused of extramarital affairs? None of that stuff matters when Tr*mp is in office!
Since the maggots are taking away women's health rights why don't they outlaw Viagra and its spinoffs? It seems only fair. Oh, I forgot women no longer have rights. You will be "taken care of" whether you like it or not.
It does make sense. Rules for thee but not for me. It's okay when we do it, but team b? Blasphemy and sin! Besides give it a couple weeks they will disassociate from the problem through denialism and new phone who dis.
Come to think of it, Republicans will probably simply remove rape laws, if they can. (Fascists criminalize normal activities and make crimes legal.) They consider women to be property.
Pretty sure that’s exactly what Greg Abbot meant when he promised to “eliminate all rapists.” The only way to do that is by making rape legal.
I hope they like Bobbit style justice, ground up in garbage disposals, cuz that’s what they’re gonna get.
So now paying for sex is rape. Aren’t you the same people calling for prostitution to be accepted as sex work? And if we’re about to subvert that, why not go after age of consent after? 18, 17, what does it matter? We’re all humans and social rules are antiquated anyway. Aren’t they?
Paying for sex with a minor is statutory rape, yes. Its a law in Florida where Matt Gaetz was a congressman. He was over 24yo at the time and she was 17 and considered a minor.
Thats besides the point its disgusting he was in his 30s paying to have sex with a child.

I've always thought of the Republica party as the party of criminals that includes a lot of sex crimes on top of all the other felonies they commit.

PROSECUTE HIM!!!!!
Apparently he owns a firearm which he purchased, and he was a habitual user of cocaine, so it depends on the timeline but it looks likely

Why defend pedophiles?
If Florida actually enforced the law a bunch of drug addict white hillbillies would be getting into shoot outs with law enforcement daily
Wrong!!!!
