Trump Dictatorship and All Things Politics

[Al-O-Meter]

We can always count on you to defend the creeps among us, the more toxic the masculinity, the greater the support.

You can count on me to dig a bit to validate the truth on sensational stories. I'm not a sheep who believes an outlet on nothing more than it being what I want to hear.

Joel Greenberg is a criminal. Matt Gaetz wasn't Greenberg's friend. He was Greenberg's prey. Greenberg was doing his best to get leverage on Gaetz in furtherance of his scheme to steal taxpayer money for which he is now in prison. As noted in your article, Gaetz was not the first politician he did this to.

"admitted to trying to frame the teacher of sexual misconduct and racism"

Matt Gaetz was thoroughly investigated for all of this by Merrick Garland's DOJ who had basically offered to let Greenberg walk if he could incriminate Matt Gaetz. Greenberg worked harder to incriminate Gaetz than any cooperating witness the judge in the case had ever seen.

'Presnell did praise Greenberg’s cooperation against others allegedly involved in sex crimes and fraud schemes, saying the cooperation was “more than I’ve seen in 22 years.”'

https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/01/politics/joel-greenberg-sentencing/index.html

Greenberg gave incriminating testimony, that when DOJ investigators checked it out they determined it was all fabricated. Greenberg arranged to have a couple of his sugar-babies testify they had sex with Gaetz when one of them was 17, but that too was determined didn't actually happen. The DOJ determined the Gaetz stuff was mostly Greenberg being a slimeball criminal willing to say or do anything to save himself.

Yep. And 5 Republicans on the Ethics Committee agreed with this statement:

"The Committee determined there is substantial evidence that Representative Gaetz violated House Rules and other standards of conduct prohibiting prostitution, statutory rape, illicit drug use, impermissible gifts, special favors or privileges, and obstruction of Congress," the report states.

With as many enemies as Gaetz had among Republicans for his attack on Kevin McCarthy, I'm shocked it was only 5 who signed on.

Even without the sex scandal, Matt Gaetz never had any path to confirmation. All the confirmation hearing would have accomplished was to give Matt Gaetz a massive platform to tell his side of the story, and drag in those making the accusations where they could be ripped to pieces in front of millions of viewers on live TV.

I know this isn’t popular to say on this message board with so many trolls rampaging through it. But I think congressmen raping teenage girls and then paying for their silence is wrong.

It is sad you don't have the same set of morals when it comes to teachers, who are by far the biggest perpetrators as a job class of molesting children. Statistically, a young person is over 20 times more likely to be molested by a teacher than by a church leader.

Shoddy investigations, quiet resignations, and a culture of secrecy have protected predators, not students.

PRESS RELEASE: New DFI Report Uncovers a Systemic Failure by Federal, State, and Local Authorities to Prevent Sexual Abuse of Students in Public Schools

The silent epidemic : primary school educators and their impact on the incidence of child sexual abuse in Trinidad and Tobago

This study was designed to investigate the silence towards child sexual abuse and the role that teachers within the Trinidad community play in this silence. The ten teachers who were chosen to take part in this study were primarily selected because of their length of teaching service and the...

It is estimated that 7% of all Middle School and High School students are targets of sexual abuse by teachers. Even if Gaetz did party with a prostitute who was on the young side, that is still infinitely better than a teacher molesting a child in Middle School, and there are thousands of such cases involving teachers every year.

Party with a prostitute who was on the young side?

Damn bro, you lost all credibility with me. Not only that. You're ****ing gross. Gross.

Get your ****ing head on straight and read that **** to the people in your life you respect. If it passes with them then **** the lot of you, there is no hope. But hopefully they steer you in a better direction as a person because you are bankrupt.

I'm putting you on ignore because I don't like normalizing child rape. You apparently approve of child rape depending on circumstances. I'm sure it was all the 17 year old prostitutes fault, right?

Gross man. Gross.

I honestly can't believe you just posted that. What a self-report. I feel sorry for any children close to you. If you have kids I think they should be taken away from you.

Gross.

Party with a prostitute who was on the young side?

Yes, on the young side. Beyond the age of consent in most of the United States but young. None of that is to say it isn't an evil but I see a 17 year old taking money for transactional sex as a lesser evil than a teacher abusing their position of trust to molest a 11 to 14 year old Middle School student. I see one as worse than the other.

If you have kids I think they should be taken away from you.

...and for that view of one being a greater evil, you think my kids should be kidnapped or killed. Even under the reading that you mean it should be the state kidnapping my kids, that is still awful and I doubt any moderators will take any action. It is little wonder why this site has no conservatives.

Cleary she used her power and age to seduce him! Thats what these children do to grown men.

Are you telling Thriller that you believe he approves of teachers sexually molesting children in their care? Yes, such molestation does happen. Been one or two cases where I live, recently. But, it does seem like you’re simply deflecting from the subject: Matt Gaetz, and the astonishing fact that the president elect wanted Gaetz to be our nation’s Attorney General. This isn’t about where in our society the potential for sexual molestation of children occurs(Roman Catholic priests have been a well known venue for molestation as well), and which venue is more egregious. It’s about one congressman, Matt Gaetz, and his qualifications to be the head of our Justice Dept. I get the impression you believe Gaetz would be a great choice for AG? Gee, wonder what that says…..

Not approves, but rather deflects and fails to condemn when the perpetrator is an educator. You can find post after post from Thriller bringing to attention an awful story involving anyone even tangentially related to conservatism, and he almost always lumps church leaders into his comments. When it is a teacher who is involved, Thriller is always defensive or silent. Always. As I said in my comments, I find it sad he doesn't "have the same set of morals when it comes to teachers".

Then you haven't read what I've written on that topic. I condemned it in no uncertain terms when Gaetz was first nominated.

He's a troll. He hides behind a facade of occasionally reasonable takes and conversation but don't mistake that for anything but the set up. He's in it for his jollies, nothing more.

I think he believes the vast majority of what he says.

Eh, maybe. But the fact that he uses plenty of setups for straight up trolling tells you that, at best, he's disingenuous and intellectually dishonest. Ergo, not worth engaging with.
