The story making the rounds now is ONLY 10% of the story.
It's a helluva lot worse than that.
And like I said in February the truth is coming.
Winslow also posted about this back in October 2019:

And that would raise the stakes from soliciting prostitution to rape/child sex trafficking...

But the live boy is only 10% of the story?
I dislike the homophobic shading of this rumor, but I admit I'm very curious.

(16,254 posts)or opened. I'm not sure why that keeps popping up unless too many people are trying to watch it. I've tried a number of times and get the same message. Is that new Twitter? I've just started seeing it over the last couple weeks.
Curiosity killed the cat.

(5,017 posts)won't play unless you open the tweet in Twitter - its super annoying but that may be why that message is popping up.

(32,083 posts)I have noticed it on other sites, as well. Not sure if it has something to do with Twitter changing their online format, but it has coincided with it.

(5,017 posts)I'm not sure what good my going to their site to watch one video does for their bottom line - I won't create a Twitter account or stay on the page. I suppose I'm in the minority but it does just strengthen my avoidance to Twitter.

(32,083 posts)Just tried with a Chrome browser. Embedded Twitter videos play just fine. Works with Brave, too. This is something Microsoft and Firefox are going to have to fix.

(5,017 posts)It doesn't seem consistent, though. Some videos play, some don't. Thing is, I have to REALLY want to see the video for me to open it in Twitter. I'm just as likely to react "whatever" and not watch the video.

(31,261 posts)I suspected that it may have been a DU issue somehow, because I can open Tweet video outside, but I really didn't have time to pin it down. It is very frustrating, almost as frustrating as having an OP refer to a Tweet, only to look and see nothing at all.

(16,685 posts)Right-wing politicians who support the anti-gay agenda of the Republican Party need to be outed. So do it. If there is clear incontrovertible evidence that he is gay put it out there. Let Republicans decide if they want a gay man to be a banner carrier for their ant-gay agenda.
But the "more evidence to come" salacious speculation does nothing but help to enforce the idea that there is actually something wrong with being gay.
Put up or shut up.
Twitter is vile.
Captain Zero
(6,805 posts)I think every Republican has some skeletons. I think that's why someone recruited them to run initially. When they were recruited they thought it was because they spoke well or looked good or had a good business background. Then one day their arm was twisted behind their back on an important issue and they were told they would vote as expected on issue cuz of skeleton abc. They are then periodically reminded of skeleton abc or MORE to keep them in line. This is why the GOP as a party won't be in favor of LGBTQ, marijuana reform, etc. Because they use it as blackmail to keep members in line.

(7,809 posts)It would be nice if this were real and not just hype for an upcoming novel or screenplay.
In either case, I don't like it when somebody tries to revv me up about something. If he has the goods, he should prove it. If not, he's not worth our time.

(14,275 posts)Republicans have come to the conclusion their re-election chances are nearing zero as long as Trump heads up the ticket. Yesterday Lindsey Graham was tasked with telling Trump it is time to resign and presented him with his options for an exit strategy. Trump responded by surrounding himself with soldiers, retreating to his bunker again, and leaking rumors about Lindsey Graham because Trump always shoots the messenger.
This type of loud whisper campaign is the sort of thing Trump excels at executing.
If Trump has just fired a warning shot at the Republicans through Lindsey Graham, I expect them to hit him back ten times harder. And then he will respond to them in kind. And we will witness mutually assured self destruction.
Just a theory......
