For someone who has repeatedly said “nothing to see here” you sure do go on a lot about it.

I’m responding to you.

So what? The statement is posted for everyone here to see.

No … In their minds. All 17-yr-olds are not equally mature.

And you know this how?

I have raised kids.

That’s the rest of the actual quote?

Or are you saying that was his implication?

Matt Gaetz withdraws his bid for attorney general amid sexual misconduct...

Gaetz said in his resignation that he wouldn’t take the oath in new Congress. “I do not intend to take the oath of office for the same office in the 119th Congress to pursue the position of Attorney General in the Trump administration,” he said.

It’s unclear what his decision means for his congressional seat.

@Samm

Then why was the DoJ investigating? Don’t you think they would coordinate with Local and/or State law enforcement?

The DOJ had no jurisdiction regarding what was going on at the party, thus they likely had no awareness. The DOJ was investigating possible sex trafficking across state lines.

Totally unrelated.

But you care enough to keep this going.

Do you see what I’m doing here? I am responding to you.

Again, when you respond to one of my posts directly, I’m simply returning the favor with a response of my own.

I have raised kids.

As have I. It is likely that most of us on this forum have.

It would likely be filled with a special election.

I didn’t stutter.

What’s funny is that a google search of “the establishment line” comes up empty.

So once again

Huh???

Since you obviously made it up, maybe you can share with us what you are talking about.

The fact-check turns the issue form California making sex with children less culpable into an issue of Qanon being against the bill. Qanon is not the issue here. Disgusting.
The only people who care about Qanon are the for left who use it as here. Nearly everyone else ignores them.

[SixFoot]

These people haven’t been laid this entire century. It can’t be easy being so angry and unfulfilled all the time like that.

[Oldandtired]

I have. The democrats have passed a law allowing fourteen years old to be molested by gay perverts.

[Nemesis]

Sure they did .

But hey if you dont want to educate yourself nothing I can do.

Yes. Because you care.

Then you must know that they mature at different rates.

The establishment line is that the details and circumstances don’t matter … The law is the law.

Put some thought into it.

Pretty straight forward stuff. The law is the law. If you don’t like it, work within the system to change it.

What’s ironic is that those on the left believe the letter of the law doesn’t matter. It is subject to feelings and should be applied differently to different people depending on the situation and how one feels about the individuals involved. Kind of what you seem to be going for.

Those on the right, believe as I do. The law is the law. If you break the law, you must be prepared to accept the consequences. Hardcore, cold and calculated.

[Oldandtired]

Nope. Read up on it when it was passed. Also have relatives that live there. Most democrats like sexual abuse of minors as long as it is some gay pervert doing the abuse. Protest all you want but what I said is fact.

There you go again … Repeating the establishment line.

I thought you sad you were done with that.

The letter of the law is fine in general, but every jurist has the power to override the law if they believe that justice is not being served by enforcing it. Jury nullification is hated by the establishment.

Actually, that isn’t the case at all. I’ve served on more than a few juries. The letter of the law is laid out by the judge, and we were to follow it to the letter in our deliberations.
