Note to those @GOP members of Congress:
Were any of these nude pics of "women" actually child pornography, given the subject of the investigation into Matt Gaetz, i.e., did he bring underage girls across state lines for the purposes of sexual activity?
Sleep well, guys.

(16,085 posts)A 17 year old female is not a young woman..she is a minor..still a child in the eyes of the law. Isnt he one of those law n order elected official? If n when this issue is settled n before he does his Houdini act, investigate him. Throughly. Im sick n tired of my tax dollars paying for the lifestyle of these officials who vote against equality n womens health issues..all the while closet abusers.

(28,313 posts)make the sexual relationship excusable by creating a perception of her as an adult.
When that doesn't work, they'll move on to depicting her as a conniving slut.

The irony of Matt Gaetz calling a 17-year-old a woman when he's the kind of guy that would call my 44-year-old self a girl as a way to demean me is not lost.

(14,119 posts)Gaetz would have made a killing after teaming up with tax collector Joel Greenberg. Pedo Party Boys.
Almost untouchable by DOJ.
If worse came to worse and theygot caught just get a pardon from buddy trDump.
What could have been if trDump had a 2020 election win.

(90,552 posts)Just think, if she were already married and a political wife, RepubliChristian tradition would require her to stand beside the schmuck the way Mrs. Vitter did.
I have to say, time has not dimmed the horror I felt at the Vitter Family Photo with the wife and especially the 10 yo daughter looking like theyd been put thru the wringer.

(1,679 posts)Intent is the key. Look, I cannot stand almost all of those GOP jerks, but if Gaetz showed them photos of females, and if it can be argued that it was impossible to have known they were minors, then they rightfully would be not guilty of committing a crime. You cannot be thrown in jail because somebody flashes a photo in front of you.
Now, if after looking at the photos, it was obvious that they were minors, that would be a different story, but in most cases, that would be almost impossible to prove.

(14,795 posts)My clumsy intention is to draw in the other demented GOP bastards and tie them directly to Gaetzs conquest porn. Reportedly, Gaetz trusted a number of House colleagues to keep quiet. If the story is established as fact, their names should be shared and their inaction shamed.
