    Nah. He was my Congressman. I want him nailed to the wall with whatever they got. Statutory rape if he was dumb enough to fuck a 17-yo in Florida. Paying for minor sex across state lines? Probably even better.

    I want the report fucking yesterday.

        I’m just glad he resigned, this could easily have been another Kavanaugh situation where no investigation is launched, and Trump just says “He was proven innocent.”

        That alone means sadly more justice has already been done than what precedent says.

      Right? I’m glad you specified in Florida, because what bothers me is that there are states where 17 is actually within the age of consent. Meaning this motherfucker was a dumbass.

      Look I’m not saying I approve of 40 year olds doing it with people half their age, or that I approve of Republicans having sex with anybody for any reason ever…

      But he was already engaging in sexual harrassment, sexual assault, and attempt to solicit prostitution (by offering to pay for it)

      Hasn’t he ever heard the phrase “Never do a misdemeanor in the middle of your felony?”

      Sorry I’m autistic, it’s the small details that stick out in my mind. Or… perhaps I should say the “minor” details.

      I repeat, I’m not defending his actions or his crimes. I mean it’d still be wrong no matter what state he did this in, but… for fuck’s sake at least be somewhat competent at being a sex pest.
