    Don't forget @Chaos Descending's new favorite Republican: John Rose, a guy who started grooming a 16 year old girl (including later giving her a college scholarship) so he could marry her once she became an adult.

    Aaaah, that's why so many people were moving to Idaho before the pandemic.

    Also the lack of minorities.

    Imagine the recklessness of walking around with a phone full of that illegal material. Definitely belonged on Trump's team.

    if you include preachers and other church workers in this thread along with right wing pols, and stay diligent you could make this the longest thread in WF history even if no one else replies....

    and when you were done your list wouldn't be close to exhaustive.

    His face... the only thing level/parallel to the floor are his eyebrows... his eyes are slightly at an angle, and his mouth more so; his hairline running the other direction...
    Fuck that's unsettling.

    Actually, we already have that thread going, and this thread should be merged into it at some point:
    The Pile.

    It is humorous how this whole week Republicans have been indignant about the Wesley Hawkins case and the sentence KBJ rendered. Then when you bring up a potpourri of Republican child predators the silence is deafening.

    Just when you think the Republican grooming a teenager is creepy, along comes an "I love watching babies get raped" Republican to make them look normal.

    Maybe Republicans hate GLBT people because they think we are stealing their young victims, and their victims like us better.

    They are suspicious of empathy and tenderness.

    Do I have to look at UA? Isn't that @Jenee 's job? I went to a black rib joint tonight and I would like to keep them and the greens inside if you don't mind. So tell that bitch to do her fucking job so I do not have to vomit over what probably looks like rancid cool whip over stuffed into a sausage with a neckbeard in some overpriced camos.

    to me, tho, that's not specifically about member of the political cohort who accuse OTHERS of being guilty of abuse, predation, assault and grooming to in fact be guilty of same. It's the whole "every accusation is a confession" angle I'm referring to.

    This really makes a lot of sense.

    What is at the heart of Trumpism, and what do his most fervent admirers thrill to the most? It's cruelty ... and specifically, taking a deep, visceral pleasure in seeing pain inflicted on others, especially people who are less powerful than they are.

    Enjoying the sight of infants being raped is far more extreme than most examples, but it fits the pattern perfectly.

    Another aspect of the projection psychology is the phenomena of the villain assuming everyone is just as bad as he is. "If *I* had the power I'd put them all in camps so obviously they intend to put *US* in camps - therefore any tactic necessary to obtain and hold power is justified"

    Surely reeducation requires prior education?

    They do seem to learn conspiracy theories at a 3rd grade level. They can quote the basic points of them back at you. That is some sort of education. We probably should be worried about them taking over school boards but we thought captain corporate blowjob would make a good president.

    I’m sure many Chinese people are smart, but unfortunately China is an oppressive communist regime.

    "Reeducation" implies that someone was educated in some way in the first place. :spock:

    Sure. Someone was educated in how China operated in the past by non-official means and was forced to be educated by offial means.

    Dude, for a guy who claims to have a history degree, you've been demonstrated to have an appallingly weak scope and grasp of it compared to those of us educated in other countries on countless occasions.

    You seem to think that China and the US are equally as bad countries, they are not. China is way worse and deliberately so.
