Not gonna link to the tweet, but I'll link to an article that links to the tweet.
That is every bit as dumb as someone saying "no, I wasn't buying drugs! I only traded money for a hug, then got an eight ball for free!"
This is how you buy weed in DC...
Edit: No seriously, look it up. You can't legally sell weed in DC the but you can possess. So the shops sell you $70 socks and then gift you devil's lettuce.
"You know you have to tell me if you're a cop."
There was that King of the Hill episode with the failing bookstore converted to a gun store, didn't have a license to actually sell guns so they started saying something like "Free gun with $600 book purchase" or something along those lines which I assume would be illegal real world, but worked in show
I remember banks giving away hunting rifles ~~when you open an account with a certain minimum balance~~ as interest on a CD.
I bought my girlfriend's train tickets to see me because she was broke. Am I a pimp?
Edit: I dunno. I had the wrong words.
I want a free eightball.
I say we give him his opportunity to defend himself in a court of law.
If he crossed state lines during his shenanigans, it would be a federal case, and his buddy Don would just pardon him
Dual sovereignty doesn't only have to work against st luigi
"You can't call me a nonce; it's Christmas Eve-Eve!"
Bro I once got pulled-over on christmas-eve-eve-eve-eve-eve-eve-eve and the cop didnt even let me off with a warning. It was basically christmas night
Happy Christmas Adam!

Child sex trafficker Matt gaetz says what?
He says the victim likely under duress was given the money without entering in any contract or agreement.
"I didn't make her sign a single document and even if I did, I'm sure she didn't date it as well!"
Why is he Upset? He Represents his Constituents PERFECTLY! Raping Children and Sex Trafficking is EXACTLY why they Voted for Him!
lol, he doesn't refute the statutory rape or trafficking, just the prostitution part?
In other posts including screenshots from from depositions, Gaetz boasted that a woman he is alleged to have trafficked and had sex with while she was 17 replied “No. I wouldn’t say that,” after being asked if “anybody trafficked” her, and submitted that what he did was “clearly not prostitution under any conceivable definition.”
Guess what, whether the witness (victim?) was trafficked for sex is not the witness' (victim's?) decision to make, because she is not a judge.
Or old enough..
This deposition was many years after the incident(s) being discussed.
I mean u obviously don't know what a deposition is...lol
In its report, the Ethics Committee explained that “Representative Gaetz did not appear to have negotiated specific payment amounts prior to engaging in sexual activity with the women he paid. Instead, the women had a general expectation that they would typically receive some amount of money after each sexual encounter.”
Where's the boundary between prostitution and a sugar daddy/sugar baby relationship which is not in itself illegal? This seems like the latter rather than the former to me. It's still crazy that the attorney general nominee is claiming to be a sugar daddy in order to defend his character.
She was underage. Even if he hadn't paid her, it was illegal.
He can say as much as he wants on Twitter or a blog or TV or wherever. Nobody is stopping him from "setting the record straight".
Of course he could catch a defamation charge if he pulls a Trump. Gotta watch out for that one. Better yet, watch out for the teenagers, and stop having sex with them.
I mean, if the thumbhead wants a trial, please let's hear what he has to say.
But since he ran away from congress and the Whitehouse because of this, i don't think that's what he really wants to happen.
Christmas Eve Eve, or as we like to say around here, October 84th
It's obviously Christmas Adam
Christmas Steve is the best holiday
Adam Adam and Steve, not Adam Adam and Eve! She can have Adam.
the best part is he has the RIGHT to remain silent.
But it would be wrong to let him know..
The ads girls post near me don’t ask for payment, they ask for contributions.
John Roberts would totally buy this argument.
When I read this headline, I thought it was something a dumbass redditor said.
Close enough.
Preventing exchange of things that we're as legally entitled to as our money and bodies is goddamn impossible.
