Clearly an absolutely pedo

Payments for ‘travel’ appear to align with a September 2018 trip to the Bahamas, which was reportedly part of the Justice Department’s investigation into Gaetz.

Another “travel” transaction in early January 2019 appears to sync with Gaetz’s alleged arrangements for both women to fly to New York for sex and to accompany him to an appearance on Fox News, according to the women’s attorney Joel Leppard.

In 2021, Gaetz said during an interview that he believes “someone is trying to recategorize my generosity to ex-girlfriends as something more untoward.”

According to a lawyer representing the women, one of his clients testified that she witnessed Gaetz having sex with a girl when she was 17 years old. The attorney representing that woman, who is now in her 20s, has also said that she was a high school student at the time “and there were witnesses.”

      i stand by my crank belief that all the Q shit was a psyop to distract from this real life Eyes Wide Shut web that stretches throughout the ruling class

        This doesn’t seem that crank to me. There is a stark difference between the ghouls that started the Q shit and the rubes that follow it.

          i know. i just feel i have to label any conspiracy i belief in as such. even if it’s legit

          sometimes i think the only thing separating real life conspiracy vs the fake kind is the real stuff is typically perpetrated by bumbling, uncoordinated, often oppositional groups with cores of true believers/operators manipulating assorted rubes and power players.

          vs the fake kind where it’s just 10 guys, often of a specific ethnic group, meeting and coordinating in a dark room and doing perfectly executed plans

            Yeah, I feel that, it makes me feel a bit unhinged just elaborating the way I did, lol.

            100% agree, this isn’t the movies where its some well thought our plan to oust some evil government official. This is the real world where normally its just some self centered idiot posting too much.

              exactly

              it does seem like modern social media/tech allows more careful coordination between the big power players. instead of the smoky room you get the billionaire group chat

              but then you get a court ordered release of billionaire text logs and reality is so much more stupid

              and the smokey right wing conspiracy group chat looks like a bunch of facebook chuds roleplaying
