    The lawmaker said the investigation seeks to remove him from office and smear his name. “Asking about my sexual history as a single man with adult women is a bridge too far,” he said.

    I’m pretty sure they are asking about your sexual history with underage women, buddy.

      Yes, I too feel the need to qualify my sexual history by leaning on the term “adult.” It’s a perfectly normal thing to do.

        Okay that is in fact normal to an extent. Adult → legal → none of your fucking business is probably the intended connotation.

    It’s safe to assume that the “uncomfortable” part is that he’s either going to have to admit to soliciting sex with minors or perjure himself, and neither one is going to end well for him.

      He could get locked up and nailed under the floorboards tomorrow and it would still be beyond unacceptable how long a child fucker was allowed to be a part of the federal legislative body. I hope he gets everything he earned, any way it comes to him.

          I think the comment above yours was more targeted towards the dumb shits that keep electing him. Why vote for someone that has credible accusations of that nature?

      “We performed an ethics probe and found none.”

      “You mean you found nothing?”

      “No, we found a lot. Ethics is the one thing this sentient shitpile has none of. There is no bottom to this monster’s moral pit.”

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
