    So, we are going to have an actual child-fucker as AG.

    Republicans, “the party of law and order”.

    🤣

    Btw, if there is anyone that I would believe would feed on adrenochrome…just look at Gaetz. Sure, the adrenochrome thing is just rehashed antisemitic blood libel bullshit, but I could see Gaetz maybe trying it out to see…

      There are many credible accusations against Trump being a pedophile. So why would his AG be any different?

      Pointed out last night that a sexually active 17-yo isn’t anything like a “child” or “kid”. Got buried. She also started an OF site at 18. Magically crossed a calendar date and went from “child” to “full grown woman who can do whatever the fuck she pleases”. Weird how that works. In any case, I’m glad she did as she pleased and finally testified.

      Been following Gaetz because he was my Congressman. Simple history, he’s a rich frat boy that got lucky. Should have never hit the national stage when he did, or ever. Explains much. My god, he was showing nudies around the House floor!

      NONE of that changes the fact that he’s guilty as fuck of all the charges leveled at him. Or at least I think so, barring a court date or the release of the House investigation. But facts are dead around here, he’s a “child fucker”. Whatever.

        I went to look at your comment. I’ll be polite and summarize it instead of sharing the exact quote.

        I was 18 and had a 17 year old girlfriend and we had a ton of sex. That’s what 17 year olds do.

        If you don’t understand how the power dynamics are different between 2 nobodies of similar age vs a 17 year old and a 38 year old federal representative and his local gov buddy, you may want to read some things written about consent written in the last decade.

        When I was 17, someone almost 40 was considered old as hell.

        Edit: Article on coercion vs consent

        They had her out of state, where she likely didn’t really know where she was, likely had no one to get help from if she felt she was in a bad situation, and was there with very much more adult authority figures, and there were drugs at the party, so she may have also been under the influence.

        You also can’t fault someone for taking time to want to testify. She probably felt at least partially responsible, and he is a national figure. It takes time to get up courage to open yourself up to the whole world getting a chance to say things like you must have wanted it or did something to deserve it.
