Politico Handles Senate Gay Sex Tape Scandal
Very, Very Delicately

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 12/18/2023 4:44:48 AM

Raw unprotected gay sex. Not a topic that a mainstream political news outlet normally handles. However, when you are talking about Democrats and the U.S. Senate sometimes such outlets do have to handle it. Such is the case with a 24-year-old staffer for Senator Ben Cardin who was discovered on a private video having raw unprotected gay sex in a chamber of the Hart Senate Building on Capitol Hill. So if you are Politico, how do you cover this scandal? Well, very very delicately as you can see in the Saturday Playbook, "Senate staffer out after sex tape scandal."

We know who was playing bottom but who was atop? Inquiring minds want to know. THAT might be the MOST important secret.

They were not “having sex “. That refers to an act between the two sexes. Two men can only perform mutual masturbation. In this case, one man was masturbating into another man’s rectum.

And the guy who was doing this in the Senate, says something like, "I'm being attacked for WHO choose to Love". Nope, not buying that bs. You are in trouble for doing what you did (and we all know because you recorded it) and it's so over the top disgusting and inappropriate and you should be fired. Seek help.

It's raw, unprotected and gay because Aiden is still very young. Very soon "injured" "mentally ill" and "diseased" can be added to his resume. These perverts need to adopt another word other than "gay" to describe themselves. Homosexuality is anything but that.

It infuriates me that this blatant, graphic act of raw and evil indecency that was filmed by “a 24-year-old staffer for Senator Ben Cardin [Democrat, Maryland] who was discovered on a private video having raw unprotected gay sex in a chamber of the Hart Senate Building on Capitol Hill” is being dismissed as a ‘personal matter’ by Ben Cardin’s office. This IS NOT A PERSONAL MATTER. This is a personnel matter deliberately, despicably and contemptuously conducted by a person on the payroll of American taxpayers! It was filmed in an American Government Building owned by the American people, and which is supposed to be used for conducting the people’s business. It is called an act of abomination by the God and Creator of all mankind in His inspired Holy Word, and by all who live according to His Word. It was purposefully shared in a so-called “online chat room” with other sexual deviants for their perverted entertainment and enjoyment. The perpetrator of this abominable act is now claiming to be a victim of discrimination because of “who he loves”. Any person of integrity knows without doubt that is a lie, and that’s such an act (or a similar sexual act with the opposite sex) committed by a member of another political party would have been immediately and rightly condemned and dealt with in a very public and professional manner by both media and members of government. This is reminiscent of Nero’s Rome. If there are still any genuine godly members of Our Federal Government in Washington D.C., that is how this should be handled. (Not because of who committed the act, or because of his sexual proclivities or political persuasion, but because of what he did.) Firing is not enough. Allowing this to go unpunished is only opening the door for future and further egregious acts to be ignored and accepted. WE deserve dignity, or decorum at the least, in America’s halls of government.

And we wonder why we sense such chaos in our country. We question who's making the decisions that make us feel like our country is disintegrating right in front of us. What possesses a young man to nakedly commit a sex act in the Senate Office Building, film it, and "share" his misadventures on the internet with others of like-mind? Wow! And no one in our media is allowed to show shock or shame. The guy who did it is taking umbrage at anyone who dares chastise him - because he is innocent of "whatever". Everything is upside/down. Chaos is evil. "Order is peace; peace is love, and love is God." We have to become "One nation under God" again, and get rid of the chaos.

81-year-old Joe Biden on Wednesday traveled to Milwaukee, Wisconsin to deliver remarks at the Wisconsin Black Chamber of Commerce. Biden is scrambling to shore up support from the black community. At least one recent poll has shown that Trump is making significant gains among black voters. (X) As usual, Biden’s speech was full of gaffes and lies. “I come from a state that has the eighth-largest Black population in the country, and as they say the saying goes where I come, you brung me to the dance early on!” Biden said.

Joe Biden is 81 years old. But his problems extend well beyond age and include bad policy, incoherence, and making up all kinds of fantasy. The House also has now voted to open an impeachment inquiry into his involvement in the questionable financial dealings of his family.He is also hitting some of the lowest approval numbers ever in polling. But one of the big problems that people have with the idea of him being impeached or stepping aside is the backup: Kamala Harris. She's not 81, but she has her own set of issues, including questions about coherence. Harris just did an interview with MSNBC’s Lawrence O'Donnell.

President Joe Biden claimed on Wednesday that former President Donald Trump “certainly supported an insurrection” on January 6. The Colorado Supreme Court ruled Tuesday in a four-to-three opinion that the United States Constitution’s “Insurrection Clause” blocks Trump from appearing on the state’s presidential ballot, preventing voters from deciding who should become the next president. Trump has not been charged with insurrection, though the Court cited the partisan January 6 Committee’s controversial finding that Trump engaged in insurrection, ignoring the fact the Senate acquitted Trump of the House charges.

A bombshell ruling by Colorado to remove Donald Trump from the state's primary election ballot will be 'rocket fuel' for his chances of winning the White House in a 2024 rematch against Joe Biden, pollsters and pundits predict. The former president's son Eric Trump also claimed the Colorado Supreme Court's decision will increase his father's frontrunner status in the Republican primary race by at least 5 percent. It came after a Tuesday night ruling by the state's highest court that Trump violated Section 3 of the 14th Amendment - the Constitution's so-called 'insurrection clause'.

Democrats on Capitol Hill are publicly rejecting recent polls showing former President Donald Trump taking a lead over President Biden in the 2024 presidential election. A Tuesday poll from the New York Times and Sienna College found that Trump had a 46% to 44% lead over the sitting president. Trump's lead was even more drastic among younger voters, who favored Trump 49% to 43%. That poll's findings echoed surveys in November as well. Democrats, however, are remaining publicly unphased, according to reports.

The Colorado primary ballots printed, and the primary election will be over, before the Supreme Court puts this on their docket. In addition to the virtual guarantee the high court will overrule this political nonsense, SCOTUS can make the entire issue moot before them by following their own normal schedule for submissions, arguments, deliberation and opinions delivered by the court.

A comic in a club started to make a joke about President Joe Biden and was promptly heckled by a woman shouting, “Stop it. I like Joe.” I watched the YouTube video of it and once again marveled at the very idea that anyone in 2023 could be so ignorant of Biden’s character. At present, polls show that his approval ratings are the lowest ever for an incumbent president but the very fact that 30% of those polled still believe he’s doing a good job means that idiocracy is now the normal state in America. All right, perhaps, I’m wrong and the average I.Q. in America hasn’t decreased to -50.

The Real Claudine Gay Scandal 21 replies

Dr. Claudine, current President of Harvard University, is one lucky woman or, as she might describe herself a “a lucky woman of color.” She first survived her dreadful testimony before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, where she refused to unambiguously denounce calls from Harvard students and faculty to kill all Israeli Jews. It was an embarrassing performance filled with weasel words and amorphous defenses such as “it all depends on context” as if genocide might be legitimate in some circumstances. Gay’s second lucky break was to survive clear-cut evidence that she was a career plagiarist, and this scholarly dishonesty far exceeded inadvertent sloppiness.
