Yes, there are a lot of crypto leftists posting on FR. When you call them out on it they are usually the first ones to complain to the mods. I think the problem we face is that the political class as a group, I'm not talking about political parties, but the group of people that are involved with the government in the USA have gone socialist and it's hard to fight because that group protect itself from all "Deplorables" And they have to be thrown out one by one from the outside with no help from that class.

A lot of Freepers will be disappointed.

Amen. I get a kick out of the freepers that believe a story from the NY times or CNN if it’s disparaging to a republican. We are our own worst enemy.

Well, he is still under investigation for trafficking minors. Nothing has changed except the guy trying to extort him for a pardon for that has been taken down.

So, it must have been beyond flimsy. I’m sure Samantha Bee will be apologizing to Congressman Gaetz. Lol. I accidentally caught the first few seconds of her show, and she was whining about how Cuomo was being forced from office while Gaetz wasn’t. Well, trafficking in lies is liberal SOP.

He’s being investigated about having sex with a 17 year old when he was 35

I’m not all worked up over that honestly and it would not have been a crime in Florida till recently

While I don’t believe Jethro is operating on all cylinders, I am glad he is being exonerated.

This^. Gaetz and his Schumeresque ability to teleport in front of any nearby operating camera - doesn't help his own case that much.

"A lot of Freepers will be disappointed. Never understood how so many people just ate up the nonsensical allegations against Gaetz and how those allegations came about."

Yes, it was bizarre. A lot of people seemed to hate him because his hair was too slick or his teeth were too white . . . or something.

Weren’t there a dozen or so Freepers who were excited to see Gaetz hang in a tall tree over this?

Where are you now?

I think banging a high school student while in mid-30’s is pretty despicable, but if legal, whatever.

The issue is that he is under investigation for taking her across state lines, which is a big boy Federal crime.

I reserve judgement until the Feds complete the investigation. Hopefully he wasn’t that stupid.

Sometimes it seems that the only people who know anything that MSNBC and CNN say are those who listen to conservative talk radio and podcasts that obsess over those rather isolated, unlistened outlets.

But, heh, likewise, if the Soros-fools want a piece of truth, glad to have them here.

I find it amusing we’ve raised legal limit from around 15 to now 18

My grandfather was a sex offender....who knew....a 67 year marriage and church deacon ....only sex either had was each other

But no he’s a criminal.....1921 ....he’s 18 she’s 14

It’s more victimizing women bullshit

I knew 17 year old girls growing up who could schtupp like a 35 year old pro and did and they loved cranking older men...especially married ones

But no..it’s always the poor girl is a victim...a saint I tell ya

Last weekend where I live....

A junior in high school boy in love....naive boy..in love who likely read too much old literature

He’s 17

She’s 16....underclass girls....sophomore I think

She breaks it off

He’s stunned and hurt

Sweet delicate flower she is then proceeds to start snap chat and other media pics of her obviously nude with another boy also nude in real time....you know ...to rub it in

Dumped boy after dinner goes to dads night stand takes out dads 1911 and blows his brains out all over his folks bed...

Heartbroken and humiliated at the hands of the little viper

And principal in all her woke me too glory spends opening class intercom Monday morning lecturing students not to spread rumors and innuendo and Start blaming people ...

My almost 15 year old son who had an advanced math class with the dead boy was like.....what rumor and innuendo ....her actions were all over social media for scores to see....per her intention

And his death is all too much a fact

Principal didn’t want girl to suffer consequence of her callous actions....tough shit...
You own it.....at least a big chunk of it

This is our world...today

Women have been so encouraged to slut up and act like the worst in men and yet clamour for victim hood

Young men haven’t a clue how to deal with it and many simply don’t

The benefit of the doubt is always accorded the woman or girl....always

So much for equality ...

I’ve got two older girls and younger boys ....15 18 20

I don’t like this and neither does their mom

My wife is fierce protecting her sons from this nonsense ...she is suspect of today’s girls ....they have to pass her gate

She tells me I’m just spellbound by their beauty and don’t see the truth ....if she likes one of the girls who comes around ....then that girl must be pretty solid

Gaetz is being attlacked for being who he is....15 years ago it would not be newsworthy

The boy was suffering “the pangs of despised love” in the words of Hamlet. Some writer in the 1970s coined the word limerence to describe the sort of dangerously powerful emotion that could make someone consider suicide as an option. I wonder which sex is more vulnerable to it. I suspect it’s males.

Romeo and Juliet laws protect teenage kids being kids.

Gaetz is a lawmaker. He knows the laws of FL and the US. If what is alleged is true, he committed a felony, and will probably go down for it.

I’ve got kids they deal with this
Romeo and Juliet doesn’t protect squad it’s all about the poor little girl women’s rights has done nothing but make women bigger victims more preference in this age I can tell you from watching it the past 15 years that young girls are more sexually aggressive than boys
they have been instructed to be this way it’s expected of them

Sexual power is encouraged by our culture but the second becomes uncomfortable or there is political game thanks my the poor girl

I myself did not particularly care for younger girls when I was a young man but I knew you guys who did

Within reason common sense it was tolerated and believe me 17 was certainly tolerated
