"Paying teenagers for sex" or as Nationalist calls it: "How I met your mother."

Sure let's start by shutting down the pedo factories you people call houses of worship. Then we'll go after Republican politicians. Sorry to hear your dad wasn't actually reading to you when he snuck in at night.

Leaving aside the stupidity that you think serving on a couple of obscure boards and commissions is some kind of fast track to the political big leagues, the fact you think two adults having a consensual relationship is equivalent to paying teenagers for sex says a lot about your character.

Oh no a drag queen singing? Get those kids out of there and to a church where they can be actually raped by their pastor!

There's a non zero chance Trump is only nominating her so he can try to slip it in.

So you're theoretically ok with a guy who merely pays people for sex as AG, then?

Shocker: President-elect Donald Trump and his allies disavowed the conservative Project 2025 during the election, seeing the conservative transition plan and policy blueprint as a liability after Democrats used it to attack his campaign. Some close to Trump even suggested those tied to the effort would be shut out of a potential administration. “They made themselves nuclear,” Howard Lutnick, the co-chair of Trump’s transition and his nominee to serve as Commerce Secretary, told CNBC in September. But with the campaign over, Trump’s transition team is turning to Project 2025 to help staff the next administration. Already, transition officials are taking suggestions for potential hires from the extensive personnel database created by Project 2025, a person familiar with the situation told NBC News. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-team-turns-project-2025-disavowing-effort-campaign-rcna180689

I mean I guess if that's where you have to set the bar to cope with the fact your party is led by gross shitheads.

You must have me confused with an evangelical christian.

I know you. You're an open book, written in crayon with most of the words misspelled.

No, they reviewed the evidence and decided there was insufficient evidence to secure a conviction, which again, is not the same thing as no crime being committed. And even if he is innocent of the underage rape thing, he almost certainly paid multiple women for sex. I know that kind of thing isn't a big deal to republicans but most people would consider it disqualifying. A bombshell leaked document from the Justice Department investigation into Matt Gaetz alleged there was a web of payments between the former congressman and friends and associates said to have been with him at drug-fueled sex parties. The meticulously detailed diagram, obtained by the New York Times, was assembled by federal investigators during the sex-trafficking investigation into Donald Trump’s pick for attorney general. It charts how Gaetz and associates, including convicted sex trafficker Joel Greenberg, allegedly sent thousands of dollars via Venmo to dozens of people who were reportedly involved in the sex parties between 2017 and 2020, according to testimony to federal and congressional investigators, the Times reported.

I know you guys hate reading and value illiteracy but reading to kids and r@ping them are very different things.

No, no it does not. This is actual smoke. In addition to the Justice Department probe, the House Ethics Committee has investigated similar allegations and subpoenaed testimony from the woman, who was a teen at the time, at the center of the investigation. The committee reportedly interviewed at least six different women who described attending parties where Gaetz was also present. At least one was under the age of 18 at the time and told House investigators that the then-congressman had sex with her, according to ABC News. Allegations surrounding Gaetz and sexual encounters with minors also came to light in a civil case brought by Florida lobbyist Chris Dorwoth, who had previously sued Greenberg and others in an effort to distance himself from the controversies involving Gaetz. Dorworth has since dropped the lawsuit, but in court filings made public earlier this year, three eyewitnesses testified that Gaetz had sex with a 17-year-old woman minor at a July 2017 party hosted at Dorworth’s house that included “alcohol; cocaine; middle-aged men; and young attractive females,” one witness stated.

You and I both know there's no amount of proof that would convince you, even a criminal conviction. Meanwhile you spend a lot of time on here slinging unproven accusations yourself, so maybe you should consider shutting the f*ck up.

Did a double take when I saw the OP's byline and thought this was a new piece and old Rex had crawled out of his grave. But fortunately he's still dead. Not shown: any Palestinians.

LOL she just happened to decline to investigate claims of Trump U ripping people off and then just happened to get a $25K donation from the Trump foundation after that. Sure. I mean it's possible that the donation was unconnected with the Trump U thing; maybe it was payment for not investigating and shielding Trump's good pal Jeffery Epstein?

You're conflating obviously spurious claims made by a third party with allegations by victims themselves, which is a pretty stupid thing to do.

How about taking bribes? Trump paid her $25K to not investigate his fraudulent Trump University.

No, he doesn't. No one has come forward claiming Tom Hanks molested them. What you're seeing here are deranged Republican QAnon people throwing shit at the wall. LOL bullshit. No the guy who looks like a sex pest, acts like a sex pest, hangs around with sex pests does not get the benefit of the doubt and neither does his AG pick. By his "family" do you mean the adult man he "adopted"?

I asked which ones were fake and you're implying it's all of them when you also don't know how much of that was paid our for sex harassment claims? Boy you're all over the shop. Also: $17 million over 10 years isn't that much money. I see you're going with "it happens to everyone" but hundreds if not thousands of politicians, celebrities and athletes don't have sex allegations against them. I'm somewhat surprised you think that's the case, but given you swim in MAGA waters, maybe it's normal in your circles?

Many? How many, exactly?

I could pull a list that long just from Trump and his cabinet picks alone. Christ, you guys had a pedophile as Speaker for almost a decade. LOL i like how you lot have to expand that list to include "celebs" to pad the numbers.

A Republican assaulting a woman above the age of consent is just so off-brand.

See, you're proving my point.
