The Ethics Committee is investigating Gaetz—and has text messages between the congressman and a woman who claims she had sex with Gaetz at parties she was paid to attend.
I'd like to see some kind of chart that compares Republican lawmakers who have voted against women/trans/gay rights, and subsequently been caught in controversy around sex with that specific group (anti-gay gets caught with a guy) VERSUS how many registered Democrat lawmakers in the same scenario.(anti-gay legislation, caught with dude type deal)
Shit like that always baffles me. Like at least with the pedos like gaetz they have to hide because nobody is cool with it, but people like that lady have to know that if she wasn’t such a bigot nobody would give a shit. You want a bisexual polycule? Who fucking cares‽ On the left it’s not a problem.
Well, after following what's been happening in Trump world over the past 5 years, I think it's safe to say that nothing will ever happen to these people no matter what they've done.
You're literally commenting this on the day when trump got a $400 million dollar judgement landed against him... Even if he wants to keep trying his bullshit now, he'll have to post over 100% of what he owes to continue.
Who would have guessed the guy who looks like Butt-Head and comes off as a piece of shit had to pay women, and allegedly minors, for sex! Shocked, I tell you, I am shocked!!
And you just know he thinks of himself as some kind of a gigachad alpha male. Dude can't even organize an orgy for his pals without paying the women. Lame ass.
Gaetz will be crushed. He's committed several "sins" that even the Republican's will not tolerate nor forgive; publicly exposing the coke fueled parties is one and sending the GoP into a spiral with his crusade against McCarthy is another.
I imagine Cancun Cruz is allowed because he's mostly self sufficient. He strikes me as the type that knows enough of the ins and outs that the other leaders don't have to babysit him and tell him things like "don't admit to the crack and orgies".
Madison Cawthorn got ostracized after not kowtowing to the local republican powerbroker + after outing other republicans as drug addicted sex addicts.
The second point might not even have been an issue, if he hadn't ran in the wrong district in his state. It does seem like there's no amount of debauchery bad enough for the republican party, anything goes and they count on the right wing (+Russian) alternate fact propaganda machine to not mention it or to muddy the waters if the scandal has become too big. The big lie of "both sides" is still going strong.
I'm sure there's a line around the block of women who were paid for sex parties. How is this not prostitution? Oh yeah, they're politicians and rules don't apply to them.
She claims she wasn't paid for sex but to attend the party and that the sex was consensual. There are certainly other ethical/moral/legal concerns about this whole thing, but if you are honestly looking for why this wouldn't be considered prostitution...well, you simply have to read the article and the answer is pretty obvious.
You can tell who has been around the block a few times and who hasn't based on how trustworthy someone thinks Matt Gaetz is.
Dude looks like every frat boy cokehead rapist creep that I met in college. How did he even manage to get as far as Congress is beyond me. I wouldn't even trust him to tell me what the good brand of pomade is.
It impacts slowly but it does. Many conservatives believe in puritanical views in sexual relationships. Slowly people are realizing... It is just way to slow
