If there are so many straight up eyewitnesses to Gaetz's pedophilic actions it makes me wonder what he gets up to when no one's watching.
meanwhile the Q crowd refuses to believe the simple truth is true, preferring to think it's all a setup
Essentially everybody in the cabinet will be a rapist in one form or another. This is a given since people elected a child rapist into office. It simply won’t matter. Instead, ask the question what Gaetz will do in office that is bad for voters. Playing on the man cannot help us anymore.
Rape*
Rape is what you call it when a Democrat does it.
Alleged sex with minor is when Republicans do it.
~~Alleged sex with minor~~ A witchhunt is when Republicans do it.
/s
But not the good kind of witch-hunt in which good god fearing Christian’s enforce the Christianity of the country
“Merrick Garland’s DOJ cleared Matt Gaetz and didn’t charge him. Are you alleging Garland is part of a cover-up?” a spokesperson for Gaetz said Friday.
I mean… you said it, not me. But now that you mention it, and in the context that Garland also deferred the investigation for two fucking years… yeah, maybe. Who fucking knows at this point?
But to be perfectly honest, I expect this will all be swept under the rug, just like all the Trump cases. So good job slow-walking everything, Garland, you fucking quisling.
Honestly he lost all the goodwill he had from being screwed over for the Supreme Court and has really made clear why he was offered up as a centrist
Honestly I firmly believe he has been acting in bad faith all this time. It will temporarily settle my nauseous stomach during the Trump administration when they throw him into the pyre regardless of all his boot licking. Fucking centrist jellyfish AG.
Mike Johnson: LA LA LA LA LA LA LA 🙉
Making sure a pedophile is setup in the new Administration so that they can ban porn involving consenting adults.
Even if they do ban porn, it will be an excuse to monitor and shape internet traffic first and foremost. They don't care about filth, but they do want the ability to look for it, and mechanisms to restrict it. Then all of a sudden new reasons to restrict new content becomes more feasible and eventually the same idiot voters who screech about censorship will be the ones who help usher is the great firewall of ~~China~~ the United States.
This is just making Republicans jealous of him
"Woman told House Ethics Committee she saw Gaetz have sex with minor, her lawyer says"
First, watched? I have several dozen questions....
Second.....you didn't immediately call the police to report a child was being raped?
First, watched? I have several dozen questions....
Saw != Watched, could have been for example seeing them going into a bedroom at a party. You don't see the act, but you kind of know b what is happening.
Second.....you didn't immediately call the police to report a child was being raped?
She was 17, not 7, if you were in that situation would you call, especially that you don't know the age?
Also the witnesses is pointing that she saw those two having sex, not that she knew her bio at the time.
If all she saw was them two going into a bedroom, she would not have been able to testify that she saw them have sex. They could have stepped into the bedroom for any number of reasons. Yes, we can infer what happened in that bedroom, but that inference carries no legal weight without other evidence to support it. If she saw a sexual act take place before they went into the bedroom, then she still saw a 35 year old man sexually assault a minor.
She was 17, not 7, if you were in that situation would you call, especially that you don’t know the age?
If I had reason to believe she was 18 and of sound mind, I'd have forgotten that I saw them walk into the bedroom together by the time I was done with my next drink.
Even if she found out the girl was 17 later, she still didn't call the police and say "Hey, I saw a member of the United States House of Representatives sexually assault a 17 year old!". At some point, she knew who Gaetz was, knew the girl was 17 at the time, knew what happened and did nothing.
I'm not going to go into the age of consent issue, or the "Hey she's 17, she knew what she was doing" argument, or the fact that she got into porn afterwards. A Representative in Congress trafficked a girl under the age of 18 across state lines for the purposes of sexual activity. If that were you or me, we'd be in jail right now with our names permanently etched into the sex offender registry. If a jury of his peers wants to look at the whole picture and say "meh", then so be it. But he needed to be put in front of that jury.
Yeah, many people don't want to put themselves in a position where they're publicly accusing very powerful people of crimes.
I would argue that the vast majority of people aren't going to put themselves in that situation.
New GA will get right to it once he's in office.
Proof that he thinks of the children a lot
