    Isn’t it weird how rich people using cocaine and ecstasy is just the norm while poor and working class are incarcerated and have their lives destroyed for these same drugs? Hmm. It’s almost like we have two different justice systems. 😡

      Yup, war on drugs somehow determined that although Black and white people were using cocaine at the same rates, that white cocaine was a harmless pastime and anyone who, through his understandable human failings, developed a problem should be treated humanely through rehab - but that _CRACK COCAINE_ - that was a scourge on the nation, only remedied by locking up lots of Black people for a long time. There was no hidden agenda, none...

      Gaetz could always go to the other end of the age range: dupe lonely women in their sixties that he really REALLY loves them, so they end up giving him lots of money. Then Gaetz could spend all that money on the UNDER-age girls. THEN, when the under-age girls grow up enough to realise what's happened, they will want to testify in court, but Gaetz will be on a fast plane to Venezuela. There, Gaetz will be found running the police interrogation department, which he will rename The Ministry of Truth.
