          Would Epstein have been considered a kiddie sommelier?

      Posted this last night:

      He’s my Congressman, been following this from day-1. Nothing is going to happen, or it already would have.

      His dirtbag friend, who was supposed to roll on conviction, was convicted, and did not. The girl in question, 17 at the time, is now an adult with an OnlyFans site. Not a good look for the prosecution, and she refuses to testify.

      If you were paying attention in NW Florida, Gaetz STFU real quick while under investigation. Suddenly, The Mouth from the South was at it again. He’s safe. He knows it.

      This “investigation” is another stab at him since he’s been acting the ass. Maybe they got an angle on him this time, but don’t hold your breath.

      Sorry folks. He’s skating this. The man is certainly guilty of far more than fucking a girl <365 days from adulthood, but we got nothing that sticks.

        FYI, they have new witnesses & these don’t come with the baggage of an OnlyFans account.

          I read somewhere they had received testimony from another victim, one without an OnlyFans, but I have no idea if that was true or not.

          That’s interesting too! I live in West Los Angeles and the only Jamal I know is Iranian. Looking online though, except for the murdered journalist Jamal Kashoggi, I’m seeing mostly Black sports stars. So, still racist, as expected.

        For the racists, Jamal is considered a stereotypical black name.

        Also, why do I suspect that the sex trafficker of minors pronounces Julio as “jool-ee-o”?

          Not just racists. For lots of Americans the only exposure to the name is African Americans. That in and of itself isn’t racist. Not to say they don’t take it to a racist place but still

    Fortunately, Gaetz is rarely correct about anything.

    Recap on what has occurred recently in consensual reality due to the #GOP rejecting women:

    Nationwide, Democrats are beating polls by 9+ points at the ballot box since Roe v. Wade was overturned.

    GOP has lost 13 of their last 15 special elections, even in “red” states.

    State GOP groups are going bankrupt in an election year.

            The electoral college exists to subvert the popular vote whenever the choice of the rural minority is behind. It would have no reason to exist otherwise. It has no duty to “ignore” any outcome and nothing to do with the quality of leadership besides their ability to campaign to low density populations.

                The point I’m making is it literally has zero upsides.

                Then we’re literally making the same point. There is no reason to argue here.

        You’re missing the point. Their current polling for those places is also skewed.

      The Michigan GOP is out of cash. Michigan is very much a purple/battleground state.

      I really hope this is the death knell of the GOP. At this point, it needs to die. If our idiotic fucking political system was less focused on maintaining the two-party dynamic, that’d be great too, but at this point I’m just gonna call it a win if we can stop the Nazis from getting into office.

        Diversity, equity, and inclusion. It’s an overall banner for corporate initiatives to avoid being as racist and sexist etc as they have previously been.

        This of course seen as a horrifying affront to a bunch of white men who formerly benefitted from the racism and sexism.

        You can guess which party is on which side of the debate.
