That looks like a picture of a dad, his daughter, and his grandson.
"Nu-uh! It's only grooming when my kid realizes they're gay, not when I trade her like a brood mare to an influential political old fart in exchange for financial favors and political sponsorship of my relatives!"
I bet you this guy, without a shred of irony, screams "groomer" every time it's brought to his attention that drag queens exist. Screams until he's hyperventilating and blue in the face. And 100% believes he's the good guy fighting the good fight.
Well, see--groomers are giving upstanding men with a penchant for girls less than half their age a bad name ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ He is fighting the good fight! Girls yet to be born and men in their early twenties deserve to have their romantic preferences served so that in another 20 years or so they too can find love in considerably older/younger generations... 🫠 Wtf is wrong with this country, i swear this is fallout from lead exposure but that's too easy of an answer. There is some deliberate evil at work here, imo
That's really unfair to paint all Republicans with that brush. Some of them are married to groomers.
The body language in the photo makes me want to vomit. GIRL, GET OUT OF THERE.
Not to mention her 'hide the pain Harold' eyes.
Her smile is so fake.
As far as I know she wants to be there.
That’s what happens with grooming, hence the word.
Y'all Qaeda
Ewwww
ಠ_ಠ
She looks 14 tops and he looks like her dad.
That pic really puts the age difference in perspective
What the fuck....
Also, where were the parents of that girl to stop this shit? Also, where were the friends of that girl to stop thta shit?
This child has no friends, her parents married her off to him. He probably gave them money.
Ewewewewewwww
Pedocons
And the GOP wants her not to be able to divorce him unlike the Democrats.
That picture looks off. Like the heads don't match the bodies or something.
I thought so too, but the story checks out. Their engagement announcement was on page 7 of this local newspaper:

You have to read between the lines a bit: she was involved in FFA as a high schooler and graduated in 2007. He appears to have been involved in FFA extensively. It doesn't mean for sure that they first met at an event where she was a student participant, but it seems likely. And of course, the age gap is the same either way.

Looks like a nice father-daughter pic without any context.
And grandson
I'm talking about different pic, without their offspring.
🤮
Edit: something something there would be a dead Republican representativee
Why their heads all different sizes
I think it's because the man has a fat neck and probably had to go up a size or two in shirt size to be able to close that top bottom. The giant collar then makes his head look small.
I do see that the top bottom is open now but he isn't wearing a tie in the picture.
And the kid's is somehow the biggest
Gross
I guess one happy couple doesn't mean other marriages would be happy.
She looks happy to you?
Now this guy could be the worst person on Earth, but we really don't know that based on one photo from what is clearly a staged photoshoot (not even a candid shot).
I understand wanting to make a point, but this whole thread to be honest looks exactly to me like the flipside of people salivating against drag shows or stuff like that: hard stances based on no information. One picture and it's already certain he is a groomer, she is not happy etc.? Yes, there is a big age difference, but this doesn't mean anything per se.
I am honestly very surprised to see people acting with such confidence over something they objectively know so little about.
i’m not sure how much context I need to decide it is inappropriate for 42 year-old to hit on a high schooler whether she is 18 or not.
You can of course have your own morale, but there is nothing objective. I cannot personally relate to that either, but I also acknowledge that this is purely cultural and therefore relative and possibly temporary. I find the arguments that by definition label it as wrong or worse grooming to be moralistic and - to some extent - bigoted. Even if directed towards a person that probably is a bigot himself etc.
I’m assuming you mean morals.
That’s about as far as I’m willing to take this conversation. Advocating for cultural relativism to defend a 42-year-old dating a highschooler and then calling me bigoted for not accepting it…I mean that has to be the bravest take I’ve seen in a long time. Indefensible, but brave.
By the way, I am an American and this guy lives in my society and culture. Please don’t be an intolerant bigot - apparently that falls under your definition, which is bizarre.
What is wrong with you
She looks like she’s either holding in a fart or unbelievably uncomfortable next to her own husband.
