Republicans: continued

[L'Emmerdeur]

It's a bit like laklak's libertarian principles until it comes to government handouts

Ah, well 'free speech is firmly on the right' is a pronouncement from the realm of the perennially deluded. Right wingers love to bleat about 'cancel culture' but they're all over telling other people what they can't say ('CRT!!' 'Gender!!!'). They're the ones who're scouring the school libraries of the US for verboten materials and holding book-burnings.

Our communist judge got approved without Rand Paul showing up. Or maybe he did and did not vote. Republicans could not wait to walk out as it was called.

Luke R. has a different take on commies, but with his experience, I understand his perspective.


Maybe better judges will help.

Area republicans meet in shack to oust Trump candidate:
The conservative men’s group, which formed last fall and meets in an outbuilding behind a Four Oaks gas station on the second Saturday of the month, is not endorsing any particular candidate in the race. Parker cited three other Republicans on the primary ballot who are from the district, who he believes would better represent voters’ interests.

Yes, that's probably why he's at Gitmo now. I wonder if his ankle-monitor gets in the way of his golf swing...

"Jeffrey Epstein was not somebody that I respected. I threw him out. In fact I think the great James Patterson, who’s a member of Mar-a-Lago, made a statement yesterday, that many years ago I threw him out. I’m not a fan of Jeffrey Epstein."

Trump continued: “I didn’t want anything to do with him. That was many, many years ago. It shows you one thing -- that I have good taste."

Trump added that reporters should look into the people who went to Epstein’s private island.

He was apparently cool with Epstein in 2002. According to sources you yourself use (Daily Mail, The Sun, etc.) the former president flew on the infamous Lolita Express at least seven times.

Epstein likes to tell people that he’s a loner, a man who’s never touched alcohol or drugs, and one whose nightlife is far from energetic. And yet if you talk to Donald Trump, a different Epstein emerges. “I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump booms from a speakerphone. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”

What? Trump tell a fib? Say it ain't so, Joe.

Some of the most loud-mouthed Republicans have been yammering about 'Democrat pedophiles.' Meanwhile in the real world...

Ruben Verastigui, the first defendant in what some are referring to as a DC child porn ring, has been sentenced to 151 months in federal prison.

Verastigui has worked for “pro-life” groups and Republican organizations, including the RNC.

Dark stuff here

A story from February 2021 about this person gives background.

'Former Trump and GOP Aide Charged With Distributing Child Porn'

A former digital strategist for the Senate Republican Conference, who also worked for pro-life groups and designed social media ads for Donald Trump’s re-election campaign, has been charged with distributing child pornography.

D.C. Metropolitan Police arrested Ruben A. Verastigui on Friday after an investigation revealed he allegedly “distributed, received, and possessed images of child pornography” between March 2020 and February 2021. Jared Holt, resident fellow at the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab, first reported Verastigui’s arrest on Twitter.

Verastigui, who posted a photo of himself at the White House just two months ago, worked for the Senate Republican Conference until July 2020, according to his LinkedIn. The investigation into his alleged offenses took place while he was still working for the GOP.

Oh yeah, a Charlie Kirk connection.

Another defendant who has been arrested for sharing and soliciting violent child porn on the same app, is Adam Hageman.

Hageman has worked for Charlie Kirk’s TPUSA, and at the Commerce Department.

I think he took steps to distance himself from Epstein at around the same time he began to seriously get into politics as a way of gaining attention. Probably a coincidence.

Yes, well, with the grown-ups in charge, Trump is clearly under house arrest, and the authorities are just waiting to swoop in and arrest all Epsteins other customers.

It's gonna be biblical, or something.

Oh, and I think the current attack is 'Dem groomers', not 'Dem pedophiles', but it is a lively and dynamic mid-terms season.

A spurious distinction. Incorrect as well.

'Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls Democrats "The Party of Pedophiles"'

U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, known for her anti-LGBTQ+ comments and embrace of conspiracy theories, claimed this week that some of her fellow Republicans and the entire Democratic Party support pedophiles.

She tweeted Monday that GOP U.S. Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Mitt Romney of Utah are “pro-pedophile” because they’re voting to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.

...

Greene followed that by smearing the whole Democratic Party in an appearance Tuesday on Dr. Gina PrimeTime, a show on the far-right outlet Real America’s Voice. “The Democrats are the party of pedophiles,” she told host Gina Loudon.
