FresnoFacts Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Roger Stone says Gaetz should keep talking? Stone must not have watched the Tucker Carlson interview. I don't think Gaetz is someone who can talk himself out of trouble. More likely Gaetz would incriminate himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back then they at least tried to live (or appear to live) the culture and life they claimed to be fighting to protect. Now.....

I remember being a lowly Congressional intern campaigning for the guy for whom i worked. At that point one might think I was @Joe from WY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaetz? A (far) wayward version of Donny Osmond. Both should rot in jail, but, unfortunately, the Eternally Corrupt Twice Impeached Orange Shit Stain has already bailed Stone out... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been around hundreds of lawyers and some were so incompetent I seriously wondered how they ever got into law school, much less graduating and passing the bar exam. You're probably unaware that there are some states where you gain bar admission through simply having attended law school at the state's flagship university. Alabama at least used to be one such state. As exemplified by how Gaetz has managed to avoid prosecution all these years despite living like a spoiled frat brat, I'm convinced there are many licensed attorneys whose families basically paid someone else to attend law school for them and nobody asked questions.

I’m sure. In addition, few states allow for admission without passing a bar exam (although bar exams are exceedingly easy and don’t accurately reflect a lawyer’s ability to practice law). That said - I graduated law school quite a few years ago. Not a single classmate that I’m aware of would write garbage like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrofade Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 But wait, there's more! Quote While serving in the Florida Legislature, U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz opposed a bill meant to stop people from sharing sexually explicit images of their ex-lovers because Gaetz believed that recipients of those images had a right to share them, according to the sponsor of the legislation. Former state Rep. Tom Goodson, a Republican from Brevard County, spent three years sponsoring legislation to outlaw nonconsensual pornography — sometimes called “revenge porn.” And Goodson said Monday that Gaetz was the chief opponent to that legislation. Goodson said he remembered a meeting in which Gaetz said that if someone sends an intimate image to their romantic partner, then that image becomes the partner’s property to use however they want. “Matt was absolutely against it. He thought the picture was his to do with what he wanted,” Goodson said. “He thought that any picture was his to use as he wanted to, as an expression of his rights.” https://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/os-ne-matt-gaetz-revenge-porn-20210405-5qbme6ilzna3rhry6gzqeevwpq-story.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
