    "Hey -- any interest in flying on a private plane to the keys May 19-21?" Gaetz allegedly wrote to the woman, who was older than 21 at the time, according to multiple sources familiar with the messages.

    Go look up the federal Mann Act about the criminal penalties for paying and transporting a woman across state lines for sex.

    Most of them are criminally indicted, forced out of office after an ethics investigation or voted out of their districts. D.C. has cast the first stone many times over the years.

    Whatever... but the post I initially quoted, by you, reads/implies by the way you wrote it... that this girl was underage. Next time craft the post better.

    If you have been paying attention -- the Congressional ethics investigators have interviewed the underage girl (initials A.B.) trafficked by Matt Gaetz across state lines for sex. Now apparently there may be a second underage girl as well (yet to be determined).

    This ethics investigation is not going well for Matt Gaetz and he only has himself to blame. He got rid of McCarthy because McCarthy refused to stop the House Ethics investigation (something McCarthy does not have the power to do). McCarthy was slow-walking the ethics investigation into Matt Gaetz so it had the lowest priority. Now that Gaetz has infuriated most of the GOP by targeting McCarthy, the ethics investigation has top priority and is moving very quickly. This will not end well for Matt Gaetz.

    This might as well be the front cover of a supermarket tabloid:
    It's a deceptive post. And no, I haven't been paying attention. That's why when someone lands on a post, they shouldn't be deceptive.

    Once again you are confusing humor -- using Matt's own words -- with deception. The only deception here is Matt claiming he does not know an of these women after showing pictures of them on his phone on the House floor to many of his House GOP colleagues while bragging about his exploits.

    Do we need to parse through all of your previous posts to show the exact same issue regarding deception and humor?

    To me the post taken in context of the thread looked like you were stating the man was in more trouble.
    I must have missed the humorous nature of the post.
