I would suspect it is to try and prevent Matt Gaetz from ever doing more politically than his currently hosting a political talk show on One America News (OAN).

We’re supposed to be draining the swamp, not filling it.

The Tiger Woods sex scandal was broken by Las Vegas escorts who ran to the rumor rags for a pay day. This was a violation of the basic contract between a prostitute and client. It’s like a mafia guy ratting out his bosses. The client pays for not only sex but also silence. Those escorts gave prostitution a bad name. That said, it is stupid for anyone to expect a 17 year old to uphold the professional ethics of the oldest profession.

And if it’s a 40-year old Stormy Daniels?

You have got to be kidding. A code of ethics for prostitutes?

The article says the unnamed teenager lived ‘part-time’ at a homeless shelter. Apparently one of her parents was homeless and had joint custodial rights.

I can’t imagine that living situation would fall within any court sanctioned living arrangement, what were the parents thinking?

As a guy who’s paying for braces for one of my own kids right now...I can attest that they are not cheap.

One of the many reasons not to engage their services, the code of silence you mention only lasts until they can get something for breaking it.

I paid for braces for two kids. When we made the final payment on the second set, we realized we could afford a car payment.

Really. I mean, if you can’t trust a whore, who can you trust?

I really don’t understand these celebrities. I’m just an ordinary guy and I’ve never had to pay for sex.

“As a guy who’s paying for braces for one of my own kids right now...I can attest that they are not cheap.”

I’m convinced that when you take a kid to the orthodontist the question is not, “Does the child need braces?” The question is, “Can the parent afford braces?” That is what determines whether your child needs braces.
