If Gaetz had confined himself to children in Florida while he was in Florida, he might have gotten away with it . Who knows? 🤷♂️ It’s Florida, man.If Alex Acosta had prosecuted Jeffrey Epstein and sentenced him appropriately men like Joel Greenberg and Matt Gaetz would have thought twice and running a child prostitution ring. Wealthy men have rarely pay for their insidious crimes. If you have a child in Florida be aware.

But (allegedly) paying a minor to cross state lines for sex is what got him in trouble. And how come the it’s only the “Deep State” when it affects GOP white men?
I mean, in no other case does it seem the Deep State bothers anybody.
The comfort of the "christian" right with the prostitution of children is a mark of how close they are to classical paganism and the farther they are from the Gospel. The Catholic child abuse scandal was only a part of it. And the Republican right is very comfortable with it as are libertarians, and a lot of those libertarians are on the secular left. One of my early indications of that was the host of a blog we used to frequent whining that the age of consent was too high, I thought in a way that indicated he was interested in taking advantage of a lower one or, as in the case of Dershowitz, et al. the floated idea of getting rid of it entirely. Seeing the trouble some of my relatives and others get into, I think 35 might be too young in a lot of cases.
