Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This sort of headlines only show that liberals think that it’s ok to LGBTQ-shame sometimes
When a bigot turns out to have closeted queerness its OK to ridicule them.
It’s ok to ridicule them on their hypocrisy not on their sexual/gender preference
These folks tend to have a pretty unhealthy personal relationship with their queerness. This person may not even be queer or trans in any way. We have no indication this person identifies as anything other than a straight cisgender male. They're most likely just a straight cis guy with a crossdressing fetish.
There is also a non-zero chance that he is just pissed off enough at his wife, who has been cucking him publicly with Lewandowski since the first Trump administration, to have gotten himself "caught" kinda sorta not by accident.
In the pic I saw he's looking directly at the camera, which would tend to indicate that he knew he was being photographed.
It's no guarantee he knew where that pic might end up, but on the other hand, in this digital age we ALL know that once a pic is taken, getting it out of every last repository is like trying to pull pee back out of a swimming pool.
Maybe right now he's happier than he's been in ages. I hope so, anyway.
TL;DR: I celebrate this guy's harmless kink, everyone should have one. And honestly, if he employed it to also fuck over his wholly unnatural plastic-filled, two-timing, puppy-killing, immigrant-persecuting, MAGA-loving, murderously fascist virago of a wife that he believed was actually human when he married it, then I celebrate his harmless kink even MORE.
Correct.
He might not share his wife's values though.
Most of us on this thread don't, I'd wager to guess.
Ah, the classic conservative UNO reverse play when a conservative gets busted for a behavior they do in the shadows while spending the rest of their time making life hell for anyone who lives that lifestyle in public. “I’m not a hypocrite, I’m a victim of persecution for my lifestyle and you’re the hypocrite because libs are supposed to accept me!” It attempts to thwart the opposition by turning it on itself arguing over whether it’s proper to criticize, when at the end of the day the Christian ruling class is still in a position to dictate morality to the masses while engaging in whatever they want and demanding to not be confronted about the hypocrisy. You don’t get to enjoy the protection and support of people you’ve helped persecute just because we found out you enjoy the same lifestyle without atonement for everything you’ve done. They don’t want to join anyway, they want to go back to their double standard of none for us and whatever for them while they pretend like they’ve got the moral high ground.
The man shamed himself plenty by the choices he has made, including the shitbag woman he married and the ideology he publicly espoused. Don't act like we're the ones shaming him, or that we're shaming him for being LGBTQ.
We also shouldn't be certain he's queer. Like don't get me wrong, repressed egg is on the list of potential explanations, but he could be a cishet guy who developed this kink through other ways.
That's true, there are several reasons for men to crossdress. There's the people who genuinely like to look female (like trans people and drag queens), there's also those who feel it is 'dirty' or degrading and view it as a kink (sissification as it's usually called). There's also some who do it for other reasons without much gender/kink connotations (like for stag parties, initiation rites, carnival etc).
Not all of these imply LGBTQ, only the first one really.
In fact most of the people from the first group tend to be really elaborate about it and make themselves pretty, and not do a half-assed job like he did in that pic. So I would think he is probably not part of the LGBTQ community, at least not based on that pic (not that that would be a bad thing of course!). This looks more like a drunk weekend joke thing got out of hand.
