100% FAKE

Do you work for Putin?

It also allows a 24 year old to have sex with a 15 year old.

And sex offense registration is usually automatic if a person is convicted of certain offenses. And what offense determines the level or length of registration by operation of law. Sex offense registration is not usually determined by a Judge.

This is a big change compared to how the large majority and I mean large handle sex offenses in their states.

Are you sure about that? I'm pretty sure the age of consent in California is 18, and I'm almost certain that there aren't any states with an age of consent below 16. There are states where it is legal for a 16 year old to have consensual sex with a 24 year old because they are at the age of consent and are within the legal age difference, but I don't think there are any states where it's legal for adults of any age to have sex with a 15 year old.

In my opinion the age of consent should not be 18. Actually enforcing that law would make a large number of high school senior sex offenders if they're 18 and dating someone that's less than a year younger than they are. Even in states where it is 18 it usually isn't enforced in those situations anyway, so why not just change it? 16 years old with a three or four year age difference sounds about right.

A 16yo and an 18yo? that's probably ok and shouldn't be looked at as any sort of a sex crime.

A 16yo and a 25yo? that's probably NOT ok

Anyone under 16 with an adult? Probably not ok either

But, I don't think California lowered their age of consent. I think they just said that a judge can use discretion if there is a less than ten year age difference. Which, doesn't sound TOO bad, does it?

As far as I know, the article was verified by the AP. Meanwhile, you might have remembered Trump (on national TV calling McCain a loser because he was captured). Perhaps this guy will help you understand.

We got Obama because of McCain's feckless presidential campaign. He was also an integral part of the Russian hoax against Trump. Then he voted against ending Obamacare. As far as I'm concerned, McCain can rot in hell...

I'm going to hazard a guess that you never served in the military. I could be wrong. I often am.

Probably a pretty safe bet. If he had been in the military, his fellow servicemen would have probably wanted to kill him.

That article IS 100% false. I know you Libs will believe anything negative about Trump though.

The Atlantic story cited anonymous sources who claimed that Trump did not want to visit the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery at the site of Battle of Belleau Wood during his visit to Paris in 2018 and that he was worried about his hair in the rain. The sources also claimed that Trump said the cemetery was “filled with losers” and that the Marines who died at Belleau Wood were “suckers” for being killed.

Notice how they used "anonymous" sources. This was a hit piece two months out from the election.

Jordan Karem, the president’s body man during the trip, also weighed in on Twitter.

“Again, this is 100% false. I was next to the president the whole day!” he wrote. “The President was greatly disappointed when told we couldn’t fly there. He was incredibly eager to honor our Fallen Heroes.”

White House released redacted email from Secret Service in 2018 detailing their decision to cancel Trump attending.

Shame on you for forwarding a story that you know is false. You are officially part of the problem.

The AP has two verified supports for the Atlantic article.
The way Trump sues everybody, if this was really made up, he'd sue the Atlantic.
Don't hold your breath.

Also, this. Goodby Stars and Stripes:

What the hell does that have to do with anything?
