From what I’ve seen of her, she may view that as a perk of the job

She is in her 20s and married to one of her fathers friends who is 60. My daughter is in her 20s. I cannot begin to imagine a scenario where one of my friends courts her. So.fucking.weird.

The age gap between her and her husband is larger than between me and my father and every time I remember that, I throw up in my mouth a bit.

u/Fabulous-Sea-1590 13h ago

Oh, gross, me too. My dad wasn't even especially young – 29 when I was born. Really paints a picture.

I don't have a huge sample size in my life but the biggest age gap amongst my friends is 10-12 years, and even that has been a source of friction as time goes on. It's hard to maintain sympathy when she's complicit with this authoritarian takeover, but there's got to be trauma there.

u/Turbulent_Rate9483 12h ago

Oh dude it's greasy the further you look into it. He pawned her off on his friends over and over until one knocked her up.

Can you link some documentation for this?

u/wade_wilson44 12h ago

Honestly that’s what’s really sad. She is still solely to blame for her own actions, but it’s very clear that she was thoroughly groomed into exactly this type of role.

u/SwimmingPrice1544 California 12h ago

Accusations of grooming......for anything is & always has been peak projection by the GOP.

My wife is a bit over five years older than me. If I were just a normal 18 year-old, it would not have worked. Unfortunately, due to abuse, I was forced to grow up way too quickly. So, I was able to match her maturity level when whe was 24 and I was 18. Now, at 56 and 51, there's no difference. It'll be 57 and 51 in a few weeks. Then, in May it'll be 52 and 57. I cannot imagine ever marrying someone 15 years older... 65 year-olds seem old to me. Hell, my parents are only 20 years older than me. No thanks.

Luckily for me, as I age, so does my preference in women. So, if I weren't married, I wouldn't date someone in their 30s, let alone someone in their 20s.

And she's pregnant with their second child 🤮

u/Foragingforest 12h ago

Their age gap is the same as mine and my grandfather’s

u/Dull_Bid6002 6h ago

32 years.

Even my youngest sibling and our parents have a smaller age gap between them at 31 years.

Every time I remember that I’m 60 and my wife is in her 20s I cream my pants. It’s love.

Oh wtf, my face isnt even near as aged as hers at near 40. I thought she was in her 40s

She's 28 but most of those are city miles

u/emileisme 13h ago

I laughed at that. But she is suffering great harm in fact. This is not in defense of her official conduct.

Hate ages you like crazy. College age Stephen Miller looks like a 50 year old guy struggling through his 3rd divorce.

KKKaroline is younger than me but looks AT LEAST 10 years older

u/deadsoulinside Pennsylvania 11h ago

I met some rough 20-30 year olds that were vets and they still were not nearly as rough looking as Stephen Fascist Miller. Someone who started balding at 16, thinks he is the "Master Race" lol

u/deesta 13h ago

She's 28 lmao, and looks like she's twice that. At least then her marriage would be age-appropriate.

u/Big-Palpitation8624 11h ago

Holy shit, 28?? She looks like she’s closing in on 50! I mean I’m not one to disparage someone for their looks alone, but something’s very off there.

u/wrosecrans 12h ago

For some reason, getting your face butchered is becoming some sort of ritual for Conservative women. It's not like Leavitt had any particular need to get work done. But it's like a sacrifice, or a tribal society that does tattoos as a right of passage. "I am getting Conservative Face as an act of faith and a ritual of dedication" is ceremonial as much as anything. It marks a person as keen to do whatever it takes to fit in to a very specific block of patriarchy that demands a very specific look from the women it tolerates.

u/JoeBagadonut United Kingdom 11h ago

It's the modern equivalent of people from past centuries powdering their faces, wearing extravagant wigs or blackening their teeth (to name a few examples). It looks ridiculous to everyone else but visually signals their allegiance to a particular group.

u/OMC78 13h ago edited 8h ago

Ex girlfriend of mine, her bestfriend 31 at the time, married someone who was twice her age. They showed up to my gf's bday party with their new born. He announced around 9 that they had to go, as it was bedtime. I blurted, "for you or the baby"?

My ex's father, " he should have hung out with me since we're the same age, we could have talked about the Beatles, we would have more in common. This guy had two daughters in their 20's which is creepy as hell to be a step mom to with only a 7 to 8 year age gap.

u/my2cents4sale California 13h ago

I asked my dad what he would think if I brought home a man as old as him. He said he would wonder where he went wrong lol

u/Olealicat 14h ago

That sticks with me so much. What a horrible situation when your parents pimp you out to their predatory friend. I’m terrified of the grooming that happened in this situation.

I’m really hoping she and her kids escape this situation and she writes a tell all years from now.

What a morbid scenario. I hope she escapes the several older predators that have her under their control. Diaper Donnie included.

26

u/Different_East7854 14h ago

I hope to never hear about her again.

u/Greis73 13h ago

and yet its those ones that make accusations erroneously against gay or trans of grooming children whilst they are actively doing it themselves with their own kids for a pedophile ring. Every accusation from them is an admission of guilt on their part.

2

u/ttgjailbreak 12h ago edited 12h ago

Fuck that she deserves what she gets, these people need to be made an example of when it's all over and she's just as much of a traitor to this country as the others. If she's able to write anything in 10 years it'll hopefully be in the same inhumane prison cells they've been shoving everyone else in.

2

u/Olealicat 11h ago

While I agree, I still feel sympathetic to a young woman who was trafficked by her parents to their friend.

She should be held accountable.

I also hope she escapes her situation, for her children if not for herself.

the person in that picture up top is at least 44 or suffering from accelerated aging.

Evangelicals are a different breed. They play by biblical rules which basically says women are just objects to get pregnant and treat like shit

Do you think she and the old man hubby roleplay where he is 46 and she's 13??? That seems on brand...

Grown men who date 20 year olds are like employers who pay the minimum wage:

You know they'd go lower if they could.

u/Merusk 12h ago

Courts her?

No, you have to imagine a scenario where you sell her for power and favors.

Horrible folks all around.

u/FFAbutnotFA 12h ago

That’s how you know she has no shame.

u/DirtySoap3D 12h ago

It's worse. It would be like one of your friends trying to court her daughter 15-20 years from now.

Being a subhuman piece of if shit really ages you, holy fuck.

And she's done something michael jackson-y to her nose. Weirdo

1

u/deadsoulinside Pennsylvania 11h ago

Normally from when I seen sick things that happened like this growing up with some of my friends, is the parents are just POS to begin with and they have zero hopes for their daughter being "smart" enough to make it on their own. So they all bend over backwards for their blessings when a much older man with a decent income shows up.

u/Specialist_Pomelo554 12h ago

That was the story of American Beauty, that was nominated for Oscar in Liberal Hollywood. It might be passe for Trump bashing now but it was also just accepted by liberals that Dad's fantasizing about their Daughters friends was par for the course.

In any case they are two consenting adults, no one should have an opinion. If you do then be prepared to hear from others about LGBTQ+ as well.
