    May used the screen name “joebidennnn69″

    Ffs

    The real ugly bit though:

    During a debate on transgender care for minors on the House floor in January 2024, May argued that: “We as legislators have an obligation to ensure that our children have no harm done to them.”

      It’s always projection with them. It happens so frequently that I’m no longer surprised by these sorts of stories, and why I’m always on-guard whenever I hear a conservative suggest policies around children.

      This type of public hypocrisy by elected officials should double or triple punishments.

        Every single statement they have made about the topic should be admissible as evidence to be used against them in court during sentencing. Every single time they have suggested stricter punishments should be compiled into a list and tacked onto their sentence.

    May used the screen name “joebidennnn69″

    To me, that’s a very interesting detail. It makes me speculate.

    Maybe he thought he was being clever by using a “democrat” username, because it would make him invisible amongst the hordes of demonrat child abusers? Maybe he could even point at his own account at some point and say: see, they’re all pedos? Or maybe it even helped him to suppress his guilt, because “a democrat did it”?

      I’m calling redirection. Every time some screen grabs of a dark web CP site are leaked, it’s always far/alt right goons.

    It’s getting to be where you HAVE to be a pedo to be a republican.

    I’m shocked.

    On a side note, how often does this have to happen before being a ultra conservative political figure becomes probable cause?
