Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Yes. Yes you are.
The statement also includes descriptions of illicit drugs that were at the party, including cocaine and ecstasy, as well as a passage indicating that the party was also attended by a then-17-year-old woman who was previously the focus of a years-long Department of Justice probe which focused on whether Mr Gaetz had sexual contact with her when she was below the legal age of consent.
17 year old woman
Bleh
A now adult woman that was only 17 years old when the incident in question happened.
Which is clearly stated in the article that you willfully missquoted.
A 17 year old minor girl attended the party, a minor who was the subject of a sexual interference investigation. Referring to her current status of womanhood only serves to age her up in the mind of readers, lessening the subjective severity of the crimes.
We should start a push to publicly shame every single "journalist" that cheapens the truth like this. Even outside of sex crimes. This shit has to stop.
Edit: if we do it enough, by name, they will start to edit these articles.
How condescending. I assume you think a 17 year old is a child? And then the second they turn 18 they're not?
You can be against gaetz being creep and a groomer without thinking that 17 year olds shouldn't be called women
In the context of sex crimes, sexual interference, and similar, journalists and others for that matter should avoid using language that "ages up" victims.
How many of us would be in jail right now having been caught in this exact situation?

Standard conservative playbook.
Well, yeah. They're fine with raping children but draw the line at smoking a plant. That's why they get along so well with the Christians.
What about the thing where he fucked kids? Anybody still looking into that?
And yet nobody questioned why all the female witnesses were kindergarteners
There was an underage nude girl there actually…
Last month, Mr McCarthy told CBS News that Mr Gaetz filed the motion to vacate the speakership which led to his removal after he refused to put the kibosh on the ethics investigation, which lay dormant for years but picked up steam after the Justice Department probe was closed.
“It was purely Matt coming to me trying ... [to get] me to do something illegal to stop the Ethics Committee from moving forward in an investigation that was started long before I became speaker,” he said.
So we have a former Speaker of the House has flat out stated that Matt Gaetz asked him to commit a crime. Let's throw solicitation on the pile of crimes Gaetz has been accused of.
Based on that picture, yes. Butthead is high AF.
More criminal behavior from Matt “Big Sleazy” Gaetz and his allies. Many such cases. Sad.
