By that standards you're no different. You know how many of the posters you like on this forum have posted the n-word here?Quote:

This reminds me of the Kavanagh thing. If you take out the incredibly dubious rape accusation (where Blasey Ford's best friend was pressured by third parties to change her story), the rest was basically about mid-80s frat boys being mid-80s frat boys. Too many of the woke crowd was trying to view his behavior in the context of what would have been considered appropriate in the late 2010s, which simply wasn't fair.
Obviously his "Romeo and Juliet" language wasn't the best to describe the situation. Instead, he should have simply pointed out that these types of relationships were very common in the mid-1980s, and stated that the suicide occurred years later over unrelated matters.
LOL Druff defending pedo behavior
I don't know Druff, I grew up in real American in the 80's. Seniors that dated 8th and 9th graders were mercilessly made fun of and were not accepted into polite high school society. It was a moderate Republican area, so it didn't really embrace the hard right Republican pro pedo caucus that's dominant now in your party.
The two prison guards looking after Jeffrey Epstein have admitted they "falsified records" the night he died in a New York jail.
coincidence?
and they said the perfect Republican doesn't exist
You're agreeing without realizing it.Quote:

However, note that these guys were never arrested, nor were they shunned in their town for being pedophiles.
In Colorado and several other states, a 14-year-old can legally have sex with an 18-year-old. And this is right now, not just in 1985.
There's a tremendous difference between two teenagers having a sexual relationship, where one is a few years older than the other, and a teenager having a relationship with an adult well past their teen years. One is mildly inappropriate but not a huge deal, and the other is predatory and clearly a crime.
Furthermore, there's been 37 years since this guy had that relationship, and presumably there's zero evidence that he continued dating underage girls. So this really looks like he just developed a relationship with an unstable girl four years younger, she got pregnant, they got married, and she killed herself likely as a result of whichever psychological problems she had in the first place.
Obviously this doesn't look great when you're running for office, but I don't think it's relevant to use to judge him at age 55.
But the way he has reacted to it disqualifies him.Quote:

I mean, knowing what I know about this guy I would never vote for him for any office. I wouldn't let him babysit a pet snake. But by what definition was it "rape"? Was it even statutory rape at that time and place?
The word "rape" sure is being thrown around a lot. Can someone walk me through by what metric it seems justified?
What's google? How does it work? I hear it thrown around all the time, can someone walk me through what it does and how to use it?Quote:

It was pretty ingenious and diabolical for the Republicans to invent Qanon. Originally, I thought it was just a way to control the scared, old white people into voting against their interests. Just the usual playbook. But, damn, to actually be a child fucking cult and use it against their opponents is pretty brilliant. Trump gets a lot of credit, mostly deserved, for really spreading it among the little brains. But, I assume it got its roots with Speaker Hastert and head of Army intelligence Mike Flynn.

This. Its a tragic tale. But really not out of line, legally speaking. Everything I’m reading from this guy is screaming “fuck no” indeed, however.Quote:
