Honest question: HOW MANY?

Kids? No more than a few dozen, low hubdreds at most.

Gop? All of them.

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 26 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The shocking part is the resignation.

[–] NewNewAugustEast@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 days ago

Sadly the not shocking part will be the pardon.

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 24 points 2 days ago

But how! He's not a drag queen!

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 7 points 2 days ago

Wow, that's crazy. So now we're going to more closely inspect the test of the Congressmen... Right?

Right?

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He has it on very good information that there are some awful people out there.

Gigabytes upon gigabytes of good information.

“Oh dang, you gotta see how sick this one guy is, I’ve watched this one 20, maybe 30 times!”

[–] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 20 points 2 days ago

Still not a drag queen.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 days ago

Every congress session should open with someone holding up a giant posterboard labeled "Number of Child Rapes" and below it have GOP politician on the left and drag queens on the right, with a big fat 0 under the drag queen section.

[–] BetaBlake@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

He had it for research, he's just trying to think like the predator, get Into the mind of a predator...become the predator.

Every time a MAGA says protect the children, look at their hard drive first!

[–] don@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Guess we should ask LGBTQ+ people to protect kids from straight repedocans.

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 5 points 2 days ago

Someone who is open about their sexuality, would be pretty likely to not have evil secrets inside it.

Accusations are confessions.

Of surprise to absolutely nobody.

[–] carlossurf@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

No way a maga politician was lying, next you’re gonna tell me rich people paying less taxes is bad for the country

He'll get a life sentence with no parole, minimum security prison with 12 hours of work release per day.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

LOL, because of course.

The conservatives are the ones that were [1] screaming about kids being trafficked by Hillary and friends out of the basement of a basementless pizza parlor, but this probably all had so much traction with conservative idiots because it's always projection with this bunch.

Always.

[1] Some probably STILL are screaming about this. I can think of specific instances of people I saw online that were still quite sure that pizzagate was real, in spite of what the Liberal Media and The Deep State were lying about, naturally, and that because Taco was in office, that The Storm was going to happen at any moment. This was in late 2020, before the election (Tacostein getting elected again would of course fix something that he was unable to fix in his first term, so that's why you should vote for him in 2020) and very long after the term "pizzagate" was used as a punchline. I could see these people claiming The Storm was going to sweep up Hillary, et al, all throughout the years of 2017-2020.

At this point, due to how the, "every accusation is a confession," phrase keeps proving itself true, over and over, I genuinely believe that a group of MAGAt Republicans are trafficking children for sex from the basement of a pizza parlor, somewhere. I mean, maybe it's really a pancake parlor or something, but....

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Agreed, and when these dingbats stroke off to fantasies about how "The Storm" is going to take out all the Democrats, I think they are hoping that will distract from the real storm of arrests that should be happening among the conservative population nearly everywhere, and at all levels.

[–] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Good Sweet Baby Jesus! I fear you must be correct about this. The bizarre specificity of the accusation which is objectively crazy otherwise screams that GOPers are actually doing this somewhere!

Flip a coin. They're all pedophiles or the guardians of pedophiles.

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 5 points 2 days ago

These MAGAts need to be banned from being near children.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

The irony is so strong here.

[–] Bonus@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Steve Martin called. He wants his old scepter through the ears gag back.

[–] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

Oh crap, everyone panic if you are friends with this POS. Otherwise everything is panning out its natural course.
