Although I have no issue with sex workers or people paying for sex, but I just never personally understood the need to pay for it. Yet, in a world of capitalism, it is also understandable that everything has a price.

Some people have no game, or other issues getting laid, and paying for sex may be their best, if not only, option to get some.

As far as politician sins go paying for sex is irrelevant I would say. Assuming that there wasn't anything else that would change how things looked. My point was not that he paid for sex. Why did he feel compelled to make the comment about being underage? Me thinks the lady protesteth too much.

Mentioning this was strange and perhaps indicative of untruthfulness I agree.

Sex work is work. People can put what they want into their own bodies.
That said...
Gaetz is playing the victim card and ignoring the allegations of statutory rape, illegal use of campaign funds, illegal gifting, obstructing congress... no, for Butthead, it's what they are doing to him.
the fuckwit had to pay for it. pathetic.

It isn't pathetic to pay for it.
Expecting the rules of morality to not apply to you if you're a rich, white male conservative is what's pathetic.
It's like decrying traditional marriage while simultaneously not batting at eyelash at one person's history of multiple marriages and divorces.

The fact that a one-time lawmaker spent a lot of time breaking the law, and then whining when he gets caught out on it, says a lot about what's wrong with us, firstly, that we knowingly hire hypocrites to run our country.
