"I don’t know what we are supposed to be doing, but I’m here to serve," registered sex offender Lawrence Taylor said as he spoke from a lectern bearing the presidential seal.

    Ah, his sex offender status is due to statutory rape of a minor. Disappointingly, that isn’t surprising at all.

    But remember, folks: scary trans people! Scary drag queens! Please ignore the known sex offenders leading this persecution of everyone but actual sex offenders.

      They actually don’t care about children. Look at Florida they had this billboards telling you not to sleep with your daughter. And these are supposed to be religious people. Fuck religion.

    Colbert got the scoop on this a few days ago.

    Anyways, release the Epstein files. Don’t stop pushing.

      It is a mixture of two things:

      1. The vast majority of republican politicians aren’t idiots (rank and file republicans on the other hand…). They know that trump only benefits trump. They remember the last few elections. And they know trump stabs EVERYONE in the back eventually. So when he calls for a favor or tries to appoint them to something they don’t return his calls or make up excuses. So it is really just the dumbest of the dumb and the evilest of the evil in his rolodex who he can call on (see: HH Helmseley of the WWE…)
      2. He knows the epstein shit isn’t going to go away so now he is normalizing sexual assault among his base.

        Huh… You’d think he wouldn’t have to convince his base again after the Access Hollywood tape.

          The thing to understand is that people are deeply and willfully ignorant. The vast majority of people today have no idea that “grab them by the pussy” was even a thing.

          And you can see that in so many discussions online. How often does someone actually answer a question or explain what that something happened and get told to “touch grass”? And while that is a global phenomenon, it is also something that very much came out of right wing politics. Think about how many “kid sitcoms” basically depict the nerd or teacher as a loser because they know facts but the protagonist knows Street Smarts. And how many end up negating even that because the protagonist knows one factoid and the “smart person” breaks down because they were wrong once?

          The “problem” is that “the epstein files” have been the rallying cry of the alt-right for well over a decade. So they actually WERE aware of this even if they were completely in the dark on trump’s long history of being associated with epstein.

            I was at the gym yesterday running on the treadmill. I usually avoid the ones that are in front of one of the TVs that have Fox News on (there’s a bunch of TVs in front of the treadmills). Fox News was talking about some fight that happened in Ohio somewhere. They were talking about of for seriously 25 minutes and then they covered the nuclear submarine thing. No mention of jobs report and subsequent firing of the BLS person. The fight in Ohio was the focus because there were blacks and whites involved.

    Triple h is such a dumbass that he decided “you know what? I want my picture with trump for the next few weeks to show up on every article about Epstein and child fucking”
