Unfortunately if Matt Gaetz, who actually trafficked and had sex with a minor, is anything to go by, this will hardly shift the needle.
He’s my Congressman so I’ve had my eye on this, praying for the hammer to drop.
Here are the facts:
They couldn’t summon up enough evidence and no one involved would testify. The girl involved now has an Only Fans page, so even if she offered, the prosecution felt that would hurt her credibility. So it’s dropped.

It’s so fucked up that our culture still thinks like this
Yeah one of them examples where age is JUST a number and jail is JUST a place… sadly, our “leaders” don’t have to follow the same laws.
They don’t even have to lead in most cases.
There’s a reason we used to tar and feather politicians. Bring it back.
I hate her face Jesus Christ. I know that’s not an intelligent thing to say but…
I know. Im the same. I think seeing her face is associated with a lot of hateful things she’s said and done and perpetuates.
She looks like a horse with sunburn.
An affront to horses, good sir!
This is a lovely insult that, with your permission, I’m stealing! 🤣
I respect the boldness of cancelling your self-upvote.
That should be a thing. That should be a thing, right?
I thought that was her three toed foot.
I guess i should wear my glasses moreoft…oh, dear god! That face:/!
She looks like a topographical map of Idaho after carpet bombing. And that one is fresh, my dude.
It’s not unintelligent. People are extremely adept at reading facial expressions and microexpressions. Years of evolution / survival instinct development have made us extremely skillful at knowing a lot about a person based on their face / eyes. Our lives depended on it, you see.
Your survival instincts (which are smart) are telling you she’s an untrustworthy, toxic individual that you probably shouldn’t keep around in your community, and in this case they’re right. Everything else she says and does backs up your instincts too, so this isn’t just a one-off thing.
I feel this constantly with certain people

It’s extremely bad and dangerous that so many people believe this.
You can’t tell from the way someone looks whether they are trustworthy or not or whether they are telling a lie or not.
Hopefully. I would love to see her go to jail.
Should I not be surprised if she doesn’t though?
in a perfect world, it would be surprising if she didn’t go to prison. but this is not a perfect world.

No, you should be surprised if she does. It would break the pattern of more money = less consequence
She will not
And while nothing will most likely happen to her for this if it is true, any of us caught doing such things would already be buried under the jail.
Man, this is just like Magic The Gathering
It’s amazing how she, Boebert, and Gaetz are three of the biggest idiots probably ever to hold office in the House, yet they’ve been popular by spewing hate. That tells us what drives their base.
I see the shoe dropping eventually, but I think that is largely dependent on how things go with Trump. If you can take down the King of Hate the others should be easy to pick off after. A lot of precedent is going to be set and I am very curious if our laws apply to those that could attain the highest office. If they do than there is nothing that can shield you from the crimes you commit, even being president. That is going to scare the crap out of the underlings if it plays out that way since their hands are awfully dirty from playing in the mud for so long.
Yeah, Boebert’s on pretty thin ice if I remember correctly from the last election. I think she barely won. And I think MGT only won because her supporters basically made death threats against her opponent and his family so he dropped out. And Gaetz, well Florida is basically a lost cause at this point. Too many Republicans there and they’ll vote R regardless of how shitty DeSantis makes Florida. There’s already a ton of crap with Disney and immigrant workers, which is hurting business, but they’ll still vote for him (or any R) because of the R.
I believe she only won by 537 votes. She was out fundraised by Frisch 3 to 1 this last quarter. I don’t think she survives another race.
I’m patiently waiting for Florida to sink into the sea and all those idiots lose their shirts in a very public and agozingly slow way.
It will be cathartic for sure, but it won’t stop the next moron parade from assuming office after. These human dumpster fires are a symptom of a problem, not the problem itself. The issue is that people enjoy these sorts of spectacles and the so-called news organizations are fanning the flames. We need an attitude adjustment in the US.
Agreed. This seems to hark back to when news pivoted to become entertainment. The advent of the 24 hour news broadcast left lots of hours to fill with “content”. All this bullshit seems to stem from there, creating the “outrage” culture we have now. IMHO, of course.
USA have really no concept of non-sexual nudity?
[EDIT] - seems less of nudes and more of full on pornographic pictures, my bad.
But it is indeed sexual?
Is it? I thought it was just nudes? Anyways - sounds like peak stupid politics, hope you guys can come back to more rational times.
This would really be more like non-consensual sexual nudity… Potentially sent to minors who might unexpectedly be exposed to it (presumably) without their or their parents’ or guardians’ consent.
Accidental or not, my understanding is that the reason she was sharing the photos to begin with was because she believed there was something “scandalous”, embarrassing, and specifically sexual going on in the photos.
If Hunter were a woman, and likely if Greene were a man too, I feel there would be more significant pressure on Greene to apologize.

I don’t think so. If Hunter was a woman he now would be shamed endlessly, the focus would be on him instead of the perpetrator and there would be several porn sites featuring his photos.
Well, that, too, probably. Not to mention all comments like “Why would a woman with grown and married daughter act that way?!!?!”
This is too US-American for me. Would be funny if that broke the neck of that crazy lady.
Yup moat people really dont.
Despite your edit, from what I can tell of being born and raised in the USA, there isn’t really a concept of non-sexual nudity, outside of locker rooms/campsite bathouses, some restrooms, and of course, nudist communities/beaches.
Even just taking a leak somewhere that is somewhat secluded if there are no restrooms can land someone a public urination and maybe an indecent exposure charge.
This is what comes of being largely founded by puritanical moronic zealots. Many of them were the Scientology of their age. Europe was glad to ship them over here.
I mean… Not really. But tbh, if anyone feels like “all nudity is bad” in America, it’s the GOP. So, there is significant irony in a party member potentially participating in dissemination - knowing the number of times any involvement in the past has been criticized on these very grounds.
Remember when Bill O’Reilly would monologue about “disgusting debauchery of Spring Break” over videos of sexy young women playing volleyball in bikinis.
“Hands above the table, Bill.”
“Hands above the table, Bill.”
I have just one word to say to that falafel.
Not a fan of republicans but it seems rather obvious that it was not her intent to send sexual content to minors. But yes there is an irony that republicans would be the last to recognise that there is non-sexual nudity, so you have a point.
She is fucked. If she sent nudes of Hunter Biden to her constituents then the DOJ will absolutely come after her for that. Insane doesn’t come close to describing what may have happened here.
She’s absolutely not fucked. She’s a republican. They don’t get in trouble for doing shit.
Two tiers of justice! /s
If only people crying that about Trump knew how right they were, and how backwards they have it.
Yeah like they went after Gaetz for raping and trafficking a minor.
I dunno, she’s done a lot of stuff already that would warrant charges but nothing ever comes of it. Of course I’m hoping it sticks this time, but you know how the system works.
She’s trash, along with all other rebuplicans in congress.
Also I wonder if Hunter Biden is regretting not encrypting his laptop hardrive and/or using veracrypt/cryptomator (assuming he now knows it’s a thing).
I can’t help but wonder who he was sending videos of himself smoking crack to? Why would a grown man even take a video of themself doing something illegal? I don’t care, he’s not any part of the Biden administration, its just bafflingly stupid.
Lock. Her. Up.
It’s crazy to me that anyone can be ok with someone sharing nudes of someone who did not consent. They’re both adults at this point but it’s literally the president’s son, too. I’m not big on appeals to authority but maybe a modicum of respect for a politicians family insofar as not sharing naked photos of them?
And the response so far is that she can get away with it. So it continues to be normalized.
The people who dismiss her as “just a dumbass” - whether she’s doing this because she’s literally insane or because she’s been told to - recognize the lasting damage this type of behavior is inflicting.
What’s crazier is that the same people who scream “the liberals are exposing our kids to sexually explicit content” because a book has two gay characters hold hands are perfectly fine with the nude photos being sent to everyone. If a gay kiss lasting two lines is enough to cause screams of rage, why aren’t actual nude photos being emailed to everyone resulting in screams?
Of course, the answer is that they don’t care as long as the nude photos “own the libs.” (So Hunter nudes are okay, but Ivanka nudes would be outrageous.) If showing kids an explicit video of two guys having sex would somehow “own the libs,” then the right would suddenly be all for kids seeing that sexually explicit content.
If this were AOC spreading pictures of Trumps kid everyone’s statements would flip flop lol.
What the fuck is wrong with you? It’s horrible no matter who does it and it’s also AGAINST THE LAW. You know, the thing the Republicans claim to be the party of?
Anthony Weiner went to jail for sending obscene material to a minor. We’ll see if the same happens to MTG.
The left doesn’t blindly hero-worship like the right. If someone has issues, they’re called out for it. Up to and including people at the top.
Funny how right wingers think everyone just wants to protect their own like they do. No, that’s why the two side are NOT the same. We want the rules followed no matter who
They’re broken people and they can’t fathom that not everybody thinks the same.
Please provide an example of someone on the left doing something like this, and their base praising them for it
Didn’t we play this out earlier with Melania? That she was a model before she married Trump and there are pictures of her in her underwear? And didn’t both sides go, “Why are you bringing this up? It is not relevant to this election.”
Underwear? She was showing her tits in a professional photo shoot.
Whatever. I only remember it wasn’t something weird.
That’s not a good comparison. Melania’s pictures are public, and AFAIK nobody in public office made a big deal out of if. These pictures are private and were presented by a member of congress
The difference is that Dems would never do such a thing, because no decent human would do such a thing.
Yeah no if AOC did that I would be losing all respect for her. It’s not at all appropriate.
No. AOC doing that would be reprehensible too.
Right? Like what the fuck. I can’t imagine ever going, “haha look at Eric’s penis. AOC is a legend!” or anything. I like AOC because she doesn’t do things like that. And if she did things like that, I would lose respect for her.
That was such a weird and weak “but both sides” attempt because it’s only based in a hypothetical situation where they can pretend they know how things will totally turn out.
Edit: oh. Surprise. That koofnoof’s history is not surprising at all. Apparently thinks conservative ideas such as hating trans people isn’t hateful because “the true hate is from the trans people hating themselves”. I’ve never once yet ever on here or reddit seem a stupid “both sides” come from anyone even remotely left leaning. It’s always hateful bigots trying to say everyone is as much of a piece of shit as they are.
Yep. They both-sides this shit because they really, really want it to be true that both sides are equally reprehensible, but it simply isn’t so. And as usual, the accusation turns out to be a confession.
You’re proposing a scenario that wouldn’t happen, because AOC isn’t a deranged fascist like Greene. But if AOC did what Greene has done here, she would also need to face harsh repercussions beginning with expulsion from office.
Man, every reply to your comment is a Whoosh© moment.
You’re absolutely right. Obviously it is reprehensible no matter who does it. But if the Left did it, the fascists would be foaming at the mouth about how unacceptable and criminal the act was (which it would be regardless of who did it).
You guys are always allergic to context, lol.
All except Tiffany and Baron were an official part of the Trump administration, as advisors to the President, so all except Tiffany and Baron are fair game politically. Eric, Don Jr, Ivanka chose to become active parts of Trump’s political endeavors.
Did she? Because if not then you’re just playing a fun imagination game.
Nah, that’s gross behavior no matter who is doing it.
It’s not who but what, we should be passing judgement on. The act itself is bad no matter who does it.
Yeah, all the conservatives would want AOC hanging. But Greene, they will praise her. Fucking double standards.

hey she can be sued civily by hunter too yeah? Would be awesome for her to pony up monye for that.
He sure can. I’m thinking 10 million per image should put her in the poor house, then follow that email chain and charge anyone else who shared or forwarded the photos as well. Stop coddling these assholes, and start swinging the big stick.
She DEFINITELY did this, but she MAY have gotten caught doing it.
Lock her ass up!!!
