Conservative voters are circling the wagons to protect the pedos.
No one should be calling them anything other than the PEDO PARTY going forward.
I cant believe Magic the Gathering is in a lineup with semi normal looking people.
In the GOP if you’re not sufficiently pro-pedophilia you’re out of a job
trump signed the bill himself, no doubt in some genius deflective move.
Republicans love pedophiles.
Can we come up with a new acronym? Can’t think of an ‘O’ word rn but I got:
G rifters
O
P edophiles
Obstruction
Occult
Obscurists
If I had a lawn that faced an actual roadway I would make a Grand Ole Pedophile sign with a red elephant dragging a 12 year old looking boy on the ground by his ankle with his trunk as the boy tries to get purchase on the grass with his hands to escape.
If anyone does have said lawn and wants the sign I will have my wife whip up the art.
I mean even without a proper yards I’d post it in other yards
I mean… to be fair, read the title. Not all of them are pedophiles, many are just really fucking stupid and took them months to realize something everyone else realized long time ago
EDIT: Or maybe they’re trying to protect their own asses from future fallout? I welcome discussions instead of downvotes as a form of communication, Lemmy.
Except the registered republicans who vote, didn’t vote for the representative who was part of the Files’ release.
So because she wanted the Files to be released, the voter base thought that was a bad idea. The voters decided that.
months to realize
Try years. And only the dumbest of them like Marge actually “realized”. Most of them knew all along and are just greedy amoral liars willing to support any pedo if it’ll line their pockets.
Marg isn’t dumb. She is cunning like a fox. Bobert is is the stupid one.
MTG miscalculated. She jumped ship and was punished for it. She thought she could ride the lightning.
She’s not dumb dumb, but her batshittery overrides her average level of intelligence to make her basically act the same as dumbasses
So how comes they did the moral thing even if it costed their jobs? I’m not trying to defend them, I’m not even American, I just think it’s really weird and would love a proper explanation
I haven’t followed Massie and Mace very closely, but MTG and especially Bobo are dumb as fucking rocks. But even if they finally realized they were supporting pedos (and it only took them literal years to realize it because again, I can’t say enough how absolutely brain dead they are), it’s not like they’ve come around to the good side. Marge is mad because Dump lied to her, but it’s not like she’s changed her views on being a huge racist piece of utter garbage. She’s never recanted about how (((the Jews^TM))) control the weather, or that she was wrong about blaming innocent people for pizzagate. Boebert married a guy who took his dick out in front of teens and she also promotes white nationalist talking points.
They’re like MAGA voters who are against the Diarrhea in Chief. They kick up a fuss like little piss babies because their feefees got hurt or they can’t afford their gas because Donny Diapers pushed the missile button, but they’ll never vote for them queer loving dems. I try to have understanding because your intelligence level isn’t something you can control, but it’s hard to muster up the sympathy to soothe someone who’s crying after they just finished whacking both me and themselves in the face with a hammer.
Lmao this was perfect even if I don’t know who is Bobo
Man y’all are really pissed, understandably. Our parliament basically collapsed because our prime minister fired someone wrongfully (one person) and she lost support from the majority party (and therefore was going to lose elections, but quit herself). Just for a comparison.
I do want to point out that at one point every single voting Republican in the house, 211, voted to shelf the Epstein vote: https://www.congress.gov/votes/house/119-1/194?q={"search"%3A"hres+580"}&s=8&r=3
And all but 2 in the senate: https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_votes/vote1191/vote_119_1_00512.htm
So, not a single Republican is redeemable, imo.
Kinda tells you all you need to know about MAGAts. There is no bottom.
Well there is Lindsey Graham.
With his little lady bugs
Now I need someone to explain.
Lindsey Graham has been rumored for years to be closeted gay; the “ladybugs” thing specifically comes from a satire story (full text here) where Graham calls the moles on his taint his “little ladybugs”.
How do you realize you have moles on your perineum I cannot see mine.
We have the technology.

Or your partner can inform you 🤷🏻
Damn it @gh0stb4tz@lemmy.world I didn’t need to read that.
Hey, I’m just trying to do the lord’s good work here by asking questions.
Good job !gh0stb4tz@lemmy.world make them read more weird shit
Every time I repress this, and I always have to feel like I’m discovering what this is for the first time.
Going to my happy place in 3…2…1…
You know, I should’ve realized that I didn’t want to know. Now I’ve added another item to the long list of things I can’t unlearn.
🤮
What’s the opposite of a “power” bottom? Like a flimsy bottom. Or clean coal ass. Idk
Dead Fish Bottom.
There have been plenty… that’s a big part of the problem.
In the article you didn’t read:
It’s too simple to reduce Mace, Greene and Massie’s loss of power to the Epstein files.
Never change, Lemmy.
(Edit: Not, of course, that you’d have to read an article to know that a sample size of four isn’t sufficient to connect the two.)
Funny, nobody accuses me of defending pedophiles because I’m not a pedo defender. It’s really not that hard to not defend pedophiles.
The article is wrong
- MTG resigned despite no obviously threatening primary challenge.
- Boebert is running uncontested in the primary.
- The article notes of Mace: “Mace’s incessant political attention-seeking and often-bizarre behavior might well have alienated primary voters as much as the Epstein saga.”
- And notes of Massie: “Both Greene and Massie were bucking Trump on plenty of other things, too.”
Like it’s clear at least Massie is gone because he went against Trump and probably Mace too, but using a sample size of four to say “Yup, it’s the Epstein files” is obviously unsound.
The article is correct on the grounds that it is too simple to reduce it to that singular cause.
Massie was likely primaried for his stance on Israel. AIPAC was gloating about getting rid of him and they spent 30M to do it making it the most expensive primary in history.
The MTG resignation is just such a fucking unforced L on her part. Like, she had the right rallying around her. She could have been their Coo-coo-for-coco-puffs replacement for when the cholesterol eventually does its job. She probably could even have bilked over the remaining TYT and Jimmy Dore fans to her cause.
But at the end of the day I think its about Trump and loyalty to Trump. We’re seeing it across primaries too; the reality is that actually, the “MAGA” part of MAGA aren’t particularly engaged in electoralism. “America First” represented expanded voter-ship into demographics which didn’t typically vote; so its not particularly surprising when they don’t vote in mid-terms. And if you follow RW media, Trump has fallen quite far out of favor, although you’ll see much mental gymnast-icking. And you see it in the exit data on the mid term primaries. Democrats are out-showing-up Republicans 2:1, compared to typical turnout.
So there are a few things going on:
1: Trump is still firmly in control of the party.
2: The party is falling out of favor with their activist base.
3: Republican equivalent of ABWD are still showing up, but the part of the Republican party that put Trump into power appears to have lost interest largely because of US support for Israel and the war in Iran.
This all points further to support the thesis that Trump won’t allow free and fair elections. Because there is a real divide within MAGA/ America First right now.
She wanted a Senate run and Trump wouldn’t endorse her. Her moves since that and the Epstein stuff are out of spite for him and she’s coordinating with other Republicans as to not hurt their cause as a whole and burn bridges. She’s not gone yet unfortunately.
*encouraged/pressed for. They didn’t force anything. The Epstein files are not fully released.
I’m sorry, but language fucking matters.
Yup yup. Also, no job true, but still have pension.
Did Nancy Mace get the over 5 years to vest?
I appreciate their sacrifice on many levels
I suspect that this is why Marjorie Taylor Greene resigned - because Trump is petty and vindictive, and was sure to do everything he could - and everything he could cajole his rich cronies into doing - to destroy the Republicans who dared to try to make an issue of the fact that he’s a statutory rapist.
I thought she resigned right after her pension benefits were secured
Maybe that’s just a big coincidence
I’m sure that’s not an accident but I doubt it was the point. She had (and likely still has) greater ambitions than that.
Also a regular rapist.
Also a regular rapist of children. Those minors were forced into sex under duress; AND were underage.
There is also testimony that he was part of the murder of an infant which was then dumped into Lake Michigan.
Release the files
Yet no consequences for Americans implicated in the Epstein files.
The files have not been released…
- the TRUMP-EPSTEIN FILES ™
Looks like they finally solidified the pedophile base under the far pro-pedophile wing.
I feel so bad for the onion these days. Where’s the satire?
People who follow Trump or the Republican agenda are brain-damaged or users. Do these people enjoy being racist/bigoted/misogynistic assholes? That is not the point. They control. It is intoxicating to control.
