Is Matt Gaetz a creep?

This is the news wire run by polymarket.

Well that would be criminal. What's the theory here, that we have enough proof to just make the claim, but that nobody with the authority to bring charges is willing to do so?

[jon-nyc]

Well I suppose the house GOP leadership could refer it to Bondi. I doubt they would do so, and I doubt she’d do much with it anyway.

What do you think?

Based on a google of this non-prominent story that broke a week ago, I'd say he allegedly did it in Florida, and Florida would have the ability to prosecute.

[jon-nyc]

Good point, assuming it happened in Florida and not DC.

If there's anything we know about the GOP these days, it's that they have the backbone to go after sexual predators no matter how powerful.

Which prosecutions came from the Biden administration, out of the Epstein files? You can ask your vertical monitor that one.

The simplest and most plausible explanation remains that the Epstein files are far less juicy than people hope and imagine.

As far as I know, the only people who have suffered from them are Epstein, Maxwell and Andrew Mountbatten.

Of course, there is our suffering from the constant harangue by the folks whose administration did the same nothing the current one is doing.

A conspiracy theorist would say that they're all in it together. Obviously, claiming that would be madness.

His name is TARS, and WE LOVE EACH OTHER VERY MUCH.

Also, I was just talking about Congress going after a politician who boned a 17 year old, not Epstein, who... also, boned a 17 year old.

It sounded a little bit like you were talking about an established pattern. Well, it sounded exactly like that.
