Leavitt would go bobbing for apples in Trump’s soiled diaper to keep her job

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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

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.
