“house of cards”,

we know how cutthroat politics can be.

…he may have approved of allegedly getting dicked down by males in his private time.
from the blurb on “the neighborhood talk“:

Perdriau got his staff to contact a male escort and set up a camera in a hotel room. They were then able to lure Artigues into the room to perform sex acts with the escort, which they got on video. “The order was to trap Gilles Artigues over his repressed homosexuality,” former staff member Kéfi-Jérôme, 45, told the court.
__________
In court, Perdriau claimed he made comments to Artigues about the sex tape, but he maintained he never used it to threaten him. Artigues, though, had the receipts and submitted a video to courts where Perdriau explicitly told him he had a “USB stick” full of compromising images and threatening to release them.

EEE-YIKES!

…but not a surprise.
i’m sure all of the Foxhole could bag,
or already bagged,
our current political homophobes if we tried.

sidebar: remember when all the white gays said they were gonna out all those who they fuckin’ that were “voted against their best interests”?
whatever came of that?
i guess the dicks and holes were too good to give up?

you know what’s crazy?

in this country,
they’d do this and get no jail time for it.

can you imagine if our current president had gay blackmail on one of his rivals?
he’d probably put the tape up on the official white house twitter.
