The partygoers, at times dressed in formal wear from a political event they'd just left, mingled and shared drugs like cocaine and ecstasy. Some had sex.
Gaetz, the brash Republican, liked to discuss politics, said one of the women. He behaved like a "frat type of party boy," she said, sometimes taking pills she believed were recreational drugs.
Details of the parties, which have not been previously reported, were described to CNN by two women who attended several of them over the past few years. Both spoke on condition of anonymity.

(14,935 posts)probably his predecessor as well. And rub-io, he just has the look about him.
Yeah, I'm dreaming, but the feds are taking their time for a reason, I'm sure. If it was just greenie and the pedo, they would have brought charges already.

(12,391 posts)that said, illegal drugs are against the law tho. Here's hoping there were no minors involved.
Also, he represents his district, state and government. If true, he needs to resign.

(7,440 posts)If those personal habits aren't within the scope of tolerable or acceptable behavior, the politician loses votes. So far, Gaetz' behavior is way off the map. He's finished, and if he doesn't resign, he'll be rejected by Congress when he's indicted.
Somewhat OT: I find it fascinating that Gym Jordan is so quiet these days...

If minors were involved, though, I would want this to become known.

(8,978 posts)White, connected, and entitled with unbridled liberty and freedom to do whatever with whoever, whenever, with impunity. And "Christian", forgiven in full for all aforementioned transgressions, as long as being "pro-life" offers the requisite badge of self-righteousness. Of course, hypocrisy is included in this package, but the Christofascist "base" is not interested in that part.

(8,876 posts)Are required to take drug tests. Pilots, nurses, military, bus drivers, etc. It is time to drug test congress AND President. World wide lives are at risk when they make laws and decisions. They MUST be free from the very drugs THEY outlaw and fill prisons with. Stop and Frisk the capital building daily. Pee tests just like I had as a sailor. My daughter is an ICU nurse. Always subject to testing. Every semester in school, she had a take drug tests. I bodies brains could be as fried as many GOP assholes without drug use. We pay em, we should be allowed to know our taxes are not contributing to the drugs they outlaw. Or make em legal for us all.

(6,254 posts)was put through the ringer because she tested positive for weed. Her longtime bf and father of the kids was much older than her and had dementia. Long story short, the child services case was open for over a year because my client m, who took care of 3 boys, her bf with dementia, and also was an exotic dancer at night couldnt pass a drug test. Our representatives should be held to the same standard.

That said, I'd love to observe the sociology of the place. A middle-class version of Rome before the Fall.

(1,969 posts)Everyone claims that the Villages is some sort of Republican stronghold (and it certainly might be) but I assure you that is one place that wants to legalize marijuana... and free STD testing... and no drunk driving charges if in a golf cart.... and a more lax view of public sex if the golf course is closed.
