Why drop the comparison? One got caught and the other didn't? Will you drop accusing Trump of treason and sedition if he's never convicted of doing one or both? I won't, but unless you want to be labeled a hypocrite, you'll have to do so.
Both of you are smart enough to know that Matt Gaetz hasn't been convicted of anything.

I didn't say it was progress. But in a way, it is. Republicans never had "family values." Not ever. It is a lie. The adultery and abortion and homosexuality rates are the same.
The only discernable difference is the lying about it, the oppression and the "them" factor.
1. I believe no one is above the law and that We, the People should hold our elected and appointed leaders to a higher standard. YMMV.
2. Okey dokey.
3. Unfortunately true.
4. Time will tell. I'm waiting for Ghislaine or Putin to cough up the 1990s-2000s videos of Pedo Island.
FWIW, do you think Epstein really committed suicide or do you think it was murder?

Those of use who remember the 1960s may differ from your assessment. I certainly do.
It wasn't until after Jerry Falwell and his coalition of self-righteous assholes got a major seat at the Republican table that Republican values changed from national security and the economy to gay marriage and abortion. Part of the problem was the end of the Cold War and the aftermath there.

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.
