It's been 3 hours since this tweet…where's the leak?

No edit was made to be disrespectful. I did need to edit it to be disrespectful.FireAg said:Ghost of Andrew Eaton said:Agreed. I don't understand the thinking that a criticism of Gaetz is somehow a defense of Biden. It's child-like reasoning.Funky Winkerbean said:Ghost of Andrew Eaton said:What is legal, isn't always moral.Teslag said:Ghost of Andrew Eaton said:Tom Fox said:Maybe but there has to a line drawn in the sand legally. I am perfectly fine with that being 17.MemphisAg1 said:There's a difference between a 21 year old interacting with a 17 year old, and a 30+ year old doing it.Tom Fox said:
Both are meh.
Prostitution has always been around and should be legal. And we are stupid for infantilizing 17, 18, and 19 year olds. They are the backbone of our fighting forces and all throughout history have been married and bearing children.
Something about young love hooking up is understandable, whereas an older guy preying on an underage female is creepy and downright wrong.
Edit: Just curious what age gap do you think is appropriate for a 17, 19, 21, or 25 year old?
17 year olds are children. Not legally but they're still children. It's gross and there are character issues for a man over the age of thirty being with one.
They are literally not children
Like showers with your 13 year old daughter.
Fair…
So can you provide any evidence that Gaetz did what some have accused him of? DOJ couldn't find anything…what have you found?
ETA: why did you edit your original post to make it disrespectful?

What I was thinking. Yesterday I noticed people were asking about Grassley's position on Gaetz since he had remained silent up til then. Then I see this in the morning.Quote:

I don't think it has anything to do with Gaetz. Grassley simply wants to shine some light on bureaucrats who have been protected by the system and need to be axed.Ag87H2O said:Shot across the bow warning the Republican caucus to get on board with Gaetz?aggiehawg said:

The WSJ reports this morning that there are 30 No votes on Matt Gaetz in the Senate GOP, so I don't think this is going to be a problem.

I realize that we are occasionally given to hyperbole about the untoward nature of politicians, but let me be clear: Matt Gaetz is a sex trafficking drug addicted piece of ***** He is abhorrent. His eyes are permanently rimmed with the red rings of chemical boosters. In person, he smells like overexposed Axe Body Spray and stale Astroglide. The fact that he boasted on the floor to multiple colleagues in the House of Representatives of his methods of crushing Viagra and high test Red Bull to maintain his erection through his orgiastic evenings is perhaps the least offensive of his many crimes against womanhood and Christian faith.
If he doesn't sue, does that make you question whether he did it or not?Bob Knights Paper Hands said:
If they can't show they had credible proof that he is sextrafficker, can Gaetz sue for $1 billion of defamation? It's one thing to state your opinion that he is immoral or to repeat the third habd information of his viagra comments, but to repeatedly state that he is a swx trafficker seems like a huge line jump unless they have evidence.

We have video proof of Dem staffers (recorded and released by themselves) doing butt stuff in the congressional chambers and nothing happened to them. The only reason this is a thing is because Gaetz upsets the apple cart. He has gone on record as wanting to dismantle the ATF, restructure the DOJ and drain every last drop from the scum of the swamp. So he is enemy number one because they think they can harm Trump's mandate by taking him down

I stand corrected on that point. But the gist of the why behind this push stands. They are going after him because he is anti-establishment and upsets their normal.fc2112 said:They were fired.AgBQ-00 said:

Well, true, ABC will try to dog him because they don't like his politics. But, there are a lot of Republicans on the Hill who agree with Gaetz politically, who don't think much of him personally (or professionally, for that matter).AgBQ-00 said:I stand corrected on that point.

This. If he were just anti-establishment, he would still get confirmed.twk said:Well, true, ABC will try to dog him because they don't like his politics.

I don't know if the allegations are true or not, but after pee tapes, golden showers, and Russia, Russia, Russia, color me skeptical of anything negative from the media involving a Republican. They love to make up fabrications and then convict in the court of public opinion before the truth can come out.Im Gipper said:Quote:

True, but he's also McCain's son in law.
Not to worry. Even if it is, people will out right call it a hoax/witch hunt etc and claim it was doctored simply for the fear that if they acknowledge that its not good it somehow gives the Dems a win. Either that or they'll downplay it as not nearly as bad as the Dems people. People seem to be more and more dismissive of the importance of character, and think there won't be any repercussions.HumpitPuryear said:FireAg said:will25u said:REPORT: The “damaging” ethics report on Matt Gaetz is set to “leak” soon.

The last thing I want is for this administration to screw the pooch because of selecting knowingly bad choices and then things go south and it it becomes a gift for the Dems campaign in 4 years.
Are we that short on quality people....or is it just enough to see the left freak out and nothing could really go wrong?
No they won't. There has yet to be an allegation against Trump or his inner circle that has been true. The lying has been breathless every single time, people like you give it credibility, and then it fizzles out. People on the right make a huge mistake by paying any attention.Quote:Not to worry.

RULE 4: "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules." If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules. (This is a serious rule. The besieged entity's very credibility and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its commitments, they can continue to chip away at the damage.)
