Interesting. Is the implication here that Gaetz has, from time to time, been engaging in full Greco-Roman Schlapping?


This statement comes from the person pushing this rumor - Rebekah Jones - a person with absolutely ZERO credibility and is a proven liar and thief.

It's really pathetically funny - these people are believing rumors (and continuing to spread them) put out by a certified nutjob who has been completely discredited. This entire thread is the very definition of incredible.


At this point, does that even matter, considering the GOP themselves barely have any people left who aren't certified nutjobs who have been completely discredited?

Leave it to a certified nutjob to go after other certified nutjobs and discredit them.

Hey, cupcake. The certified nutjob pushing this rumor is a proven liar and thief who ran for Congress as a DEMOCRAT against Gaetz.
Fortunately, the voters saw the truth.

I don't know if this is true, but I agree with previous posters that a consensual relationship with a man of age would be a massive step up for Gaetz. Why spend so much time talking about how the woman who started the rumor is a nutjob? She may have done some good things and some questionable things BUT HER JUDGMENT IS NOWHERE NEAR AS BAD AS GAETZ'S. The "son", the underage prostitutes, the begging for a preemptive pardon. What is worse than this guy? Compared to Gaetz, everyone is a comparatively sane, model citizen.

Good Lord. You are pushing even more rumors.

Quit excusing the false accusations being pushed by a woman who seems to have mental issues and is suffering from, at the minimum, sour grapes.

This is hard to take when the entire Republican Party is in thrall to a man who seems to have mental issues and is suffering from, at the minimum, sour grapes.

The "certified nutjob" is guilty of trying to independently validate and verify Florida COVID stats. I don't agree with her methods, and question her conclusions, but they way that DeSantis went after her, basically sending a SWAT team to drag her from her home in her pajamas at gunpoint like as if she were a violent criminal, and ransack her home, confiscating computers and electronic devices from her home, all of this in front of her small children, was completely over the top and still makes me wonder if DeSantis was in fact trying to hide something or send a vicious, fascist, authoritarian message that he is never to be challenged or questioned.

She illegally accessed confidential data after she was fired. She admitted guilt, eventually.

And, if you want to see what REALLY happened (she was not "dragged" at gunpoint in her pajamas) watch the videos that were made public.
LE was actually incredibly patient and respectful, considering she was not initially cooperative.

Fine PP, but then how do you explain this little passage below?

"Oil wrestling can be traced back to ancient Sumer and Babylon. Greco-Roman traditions also point to the practice of oil wrestling. Wrestlers oil one another prior to matches as a demonstration of balance and mutual respect. If a man defeats, or is defeated by, or ties with, an older opponent, or a younger one, or one of the same age, he kisses the latter's hand."


Has or has not Gaetz been engaging in such traditions?

Daily COVID case count and fatality count data are supposed to somehow be some big top secret classified data? That sounds highly dubious and questionable. Again, what was the DeSantis administration hiding?

I don't agree with her methods, but again, they went in to her house hot, with guns drawn. They pointed guns at her family. That's caught on her surveillance camera from inside the house and on the body cam video as well.
Why was that necessary? Who deemed her to be a violent threat warranting that kind of treatment and why?

Do some research so you don't appear ignorant.

The arrest warrant, obtained by NPR, alleges that Jones gained unauthorized access to state health department software on Nov. 10 and sent a mass text to employees.....
It said that the message caused "doubt and confusion" among the working groups that shared that planning account, and prompted information technology personnel to divert their attention to addressing a possible cyberattack. All told, the warrant said, some 30 employees had to stop their regular duties in order to address the incident.

The warrant also alleges that Jones downloaded and saved health department data — containing contact information for "approximately 19,182 people across the state of Florida" — to her own devices, and tried unsuccessfully to gain access to the messaging platform again on Nov. 12.

Post a video of law enforcement pointing guns at her family. That is what JONES is claiming. And, we all know she is a liar.

Gretl Plessinger, a spokesperson for the law enforcement department, said that agents knocked on Jones’ door and called her “in an attempt to minimize disruption to the family.” Jones refused to come to the door for 20 minutes and hung up on the agents, and Jones’ family was upstairs when agents did enter the house, Plessinger said. She didn’t respond to questions about why the officers drew guns.

“At no time were weapons pointed at anyone in the home,” Rick Swearingen, the department’s commissioner, added in another statement.

DeSantis spokesperson Fred Piccolo told CNN that “the governor’s office had no involvement, no knowledge, no nothing, of this investigation.” He added that the law enforcement department launched an investigation into the message before anyone knew about Jones’ alleged involvement. The health department referred a request for comment to the law enforcement department.
