No, no, no. We must not use 'teenager'. 'Child'. We must use 'child' as the word of choice. It sounds so much more sinister when we say 'Gaetz had sex with a child'.
'Paying for sex'. That's fair. But it would be better by if we use 'Paid for Hookers' or 'Paid for Prostitutes'.
'Snort some Coke'. Too mild. 'Did heavy Drugs', 'Used Schedule I Drugs', 'Engaged in Illicit Drug Use', or something like that.
'Coked up Gaetz fucked a child in his frenzied state of delirium'. You know, try to present this as though you were a Republican Operative describing a Democrat. (just a suggestion)

'Cultural Appropriation'.

While true, Son also epitomizes the typical JPP Trumper; middle-aged, underemployed, undereducated, rampant conspiracy theorist but unwilling to leave his basement to do anything about it.
He's a keyboard commando. A gutless coward who is all talk, no action just like the rest of these JPP members:

He really didn't care when it was Studds who should have faced the music for sex with a teen. There was frickin' applause when he returned to the Congress after his "censure" and Jarod never did care or say one word about it after I pointed it out to him back at p.com where we first started...
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Agreed on the hypocrisy of Democrats regarding sex scandals, especially with minors. Now, the Republicans are no different.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_c...ge_sex_scandal
The 1983 congressional page sex scandal was a political scandal involving members of the United States House of Representatives.
On July 14, 1983, the House Ethics Committee recommended that Rep. Dan Crane (R-IL) and Rep. Gerry Studds (D-MA) be reprimanded for having engaged in sexual relationships with minors, specifically 17-year-old congressional pages.[1] Though at least some of the sexual contact was not criminal, the committee felt "any sexual relationship between a member of the House of Representatives and a congressional page, or any sexual advance by a member to a page, represents a serious breach of duty." The Congressional Report found that in 1980, a year after entering office, Crane had sex four or five times at his suburban apartment with a female page and in 1973, the year he entered office, Studds invited a male page, who testified he felt no ill will towards Studds, to his Georgetown apartment and later on a two-week trip to Portugal. Both representatives admitted to the charges.[2]
On July 20, 1983, the House voted by a supermajority to revise the reprimand recommendation to censure, a more extreme measure. Censure had never previously been used in a case of sexual misconduct. The motion to censure the two House members was introduced by Rep. Robert H. Michel (R-IL), the Republican House Minority Leader. Aides later said that Michel proposed this bill to head off a move by Republicans to expel the two legislators.[3] Rep. Newt Gingrich (R-GA) was one of the leaders of the calls for the expulsion of Crane and Studds.[4]
At the beginning of the debate, Rep. Crane said, "I want the members to know I am sorry and that I apologize to one and all." When he was called to be censured, Rep. Crane stood facing the House. According to The New York Times, after the censure was read, Mr. Crane, escorted by a friend, quickly left the chamber.[3] However, an Associated Press article says that Crane walked back to his seat in the rear of the House and slumped in it.[5] Crane would go on to lose the 1984 election.[6]
Studds gave up his right to a public hearing reluctantly, saying that he objected to the conclusions of the Ethics Committee but wanted to protect the privacy of the pages involved[7] and that the affair was a "mutually voluntary, private relationship between adults."[8] At the same time, Studds did admit to "a very serious error in judgment," saying that he should not have had sex with a congressional subordinate, regardless of the individual's age or sex.[2] As his censure was read, Studds faced the Speaker who was reading the motion, with his back to the other House members.[3] Studds continued to be re-elected until his retirement in 1997;[9] he died in 2006.[10]
Shortly after this scandal, the House Page Board was established for the purpose of protecting pages.

Studds was re-elected to the House six more times after the 1983 censure. He fought for many issues, including environmental and maritime issues, same-sex marriage, AIDS funding, and civil rights, particularly for gays and lesbians. Studds was an outspoken opponent of the Strategic Defense Initiative missile defense system, which he considered wasteful and ineffective, and he criticized the United States government's secretive support for the Contra fighters in Nicaragua.[12]
