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?

Even Tom Hamks has a pedophilia allegations.

Tom freaking Hanks!

There isn't a single male celebrity that doesn't have a sexual misconduct allegation. Most aren't true. How many? Hell if I know. But enough that Gaetz gets the benefit of the doubt when the allegations is thrown out by the DOJ.

the reason that I have read is that the confirmation hearing would be too much of a distraction. Taking that at face value (which I do not), that seems ok. There will be other options.

A Distraction isn't a bad thing. Biden's handlers were sending a radical justice and an ultra radical justice to the same confirmation hearings so that Republicans would have to concentrate on one and ignore the other.

apparently, Gaetz viewed this distraction as being too "bad" of a thing and therefore disagrees with you.

No, he doesn't. No one has come forward claiming Tom Hanks molested them.

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"?

No sense of irony here? You don't have the slightest twinge of hypocrisy? You actually said that with a straight face?

Ok...you do you.

This is one of the first time Matt Gaetz has withdrawn from something other than underage girls vaginas, before climaxing.

That's a ridiculous QAnon wacky conspiracy. The same group that claims Sandy Hook never occurred, and Oprah has a sex trafficking ring. The same group that spread weird lies about a fandom pizza place in a strip mall being a "front" for child prostitution.

With all due respect, gato. Can you read English?

It took me two whole minutes to read that USA Today article, and it clearly states that the Tom Hanks rumour was just the latest wacky QAnon conspiracy theory, that had no basis with reality.

You are making my point and dont even know it.

[Nationalist]

Matt Gaetz may be moved into a vacant senate seat.

The new AG nominee is Pam Bondi. She's very qualified and has the same detest for Libbie lawfare as Gaetz.

Oh...I'm afraid that hammer is still gonna be used.

Have a nice day Libbies.

probabilities are involved and the vast majority of people will fall within a standard group with a few outliers.

that's not how probability works with genetics. Look up Punnet squares.

I’m not sure how this is a counterpoint to my point about the genetic variation possible in one offspring from two parents.

The formula to predict the number of possible genotypes in the offspring from two parents is 3 raised to the power of n, where n is the number of genes involved.

Humans have approximately 20,000 genes in their genome, so the number of possible genomes in the offspring (i.e. number of genetically different offspring possible from two human parents) is 3 raised to the power of 20,000.

I tried to calculate this on the Exponent Calculator but the number was too large to calculate.

And this does not even take into account other things that affect gene expression, like environmental factors (including epigenetics) and mutation.

Let's follow your logic. I shouldn't speak. Maybe I should "know my place?" Maybe I shouldn't vote?

I'm sensing disgust. Can the disgust of one for another ever be the basis on which legislation is founded?

You're sensing the truth and trying to spin it as disgust. 

Leftoids are quite accomplished at skewing the truth.

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

Gaetz needs to go after his accusers. THOSE a$$holes are probably the real pedophiles.

The DOJ...Biden's corrupt DOJ...Said these allegations don't warrant charges. That puts them on the same level as Tom Hanks having some weird allegations levied against him. The difference is, you have such a hatred for Gaetz, you will look past the facts and only except the emotion of the allegations. So he's guilty, in your mind, despite evidence to the contrary.

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.

The DOJ reviewed the evidence and said it was not a crime. You can bìťch and moan all you want, but you've got nothing.
