Former Ryan Intern Arrested in Nude Photo Scheme

Agreed. In our State office here in Lansing Michigan we get interns and I would hate to be held responsible for anything they later do or even did while with us in their own lives.

Heck, I volunteered for all different Democrat politicians when I was in college and sent far creepier messages to women.

This is before text messages and emails, mind you, which meant I had to attach my notes to bricks and throw them through girls' windows while I watched them ... from inside their closets ... with my dick in my hand.
 
which begs the question. If they had already sent him one (or more) nude photos, why would he need to blackmail them for more or...why would they object to voluntarily sending him more. I would be more inclined to believe that he got the first ones illicitly from "a friend of a friend of a friend" type deal.



never said it was



I thought I made the answer to that quite clear in my first post on the subject.

my mistake. I misread.

from the article

How the alleged blackmailing occurred in one case, according to the complaint: Victim 1 received texts sent via Google Voice requesting nude photos and containing a link to Photobucket.com, where a nude photo of the woman was posted; it had been stolen from her hacked AOL account

and

It's not clear if any of the women complied with his requests,

btw - the guy looks like he would not have the slightest idea what to do with a woman - let alone a nude photo of one. Creepy looking fellow.

and stupid. If he already had nude photos...why the hell would he be trying to blackmail them into sending him pics of her wearing a bra?

I would suspect that he actually didn't have any pics of these women and just pretended to, and since some of them had allowed nude photos of themselves to be taken by someone at some point, they assumed he'd somehow managed to get copies.

I just know if I had nude pics of some female, I sure as hell wouldn't be blackmailing her for a pic in a bra. "man these pics of her tits with her nipples showing just aren't doing it for me...I need to see some cloth"

again...not to blame the victim...but what kind of dumbass puts nude pics of themselves on their AOL account?

1992-1999 really?
 
Of course it has to do with Paul Ryan, the guy was Ryan's intern so it's just as if Ryan did it himself and since Ryan is a Republican, clearly the Republican Party condones this.

I do wonder why Rocket never seems to find those affiliated with Dems interesting.

Just saying


Same reason you never find anything about Republicans interesting.

If you want to continue your crap, take it somewhere else. I'm sick of your Bull****.
 
Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J anyone?

clearly the democratic party condones prostitution

just sayin.....

That's not exactly breaking news is it? Since you're so keen on things that aren't news, maybe we should dredge up the Hundred Years War or something.

I said nothing about Ryan condoning this. Take your bull**** strawman, and shove it.

You're just as full of **** as X is, I see. I explained my motivations in the other thread. You can choose to accept it or not, I'm through explaining myself to assholes such as yourself.

Dang, man, it's just a debate. ;)

Furthermore, you clearly don't have anything critical or useful to say. You just want to make every thread about your personal vendetta against me. Shove it.

It's not a debate. X Factor has nothing useful to say, he just clicks wherever he sees my name so he can turn it into a thread about me. Then he doesn't have to talk about issues, because he is clearly incapable of doing so.

What partisan BS did I post? I posted a news story, and went out of my way to say that it wasn't about the Republican party. But you can't deal with that. You only know how to yell at the "typical liberal" you've concocted in your mind.

Right, you went so far out of your way you wanted to make damn clear in your thread title that it was Paul Ryan's former intern.

But you did imply that it had "a little" to do with him. Which, of course, you ran away from almost as soon as you said it.

Still waiting on a response to that claim, btw...

I'm still wondering why, since he already had NUDE photos, this dumbass tried to blackmail these females into sending him pics of them wearing a bra?
 
I am neither Dem nor Rep.

But I do not care IN THE SLIGHTEST what their interns do - in so far as judging the politicians.

A politician's intern could be the biggest child molester in history - it makes ZERO difference to me (assuming there is no tie to these crimes and the politician) as to how good/bad the politician is in my eyes.


Btw - presumed innocent until proven guilty.
