    I think you mean, “Drag queens caught partying with GOP candidate who called them pedophiles.”

      Do drag queens know everyone who comes at the club/venue they’re performing?

        The point of the comment wasn’t to blame the drag queens. It was to reverse the implicit shame of being, “caught,” that’s in the title, giving the connotation that it’s shameful or embarrassing to associate with the GOP candidate, not the other way around. It was just a little quip that I’m sure I’ve made much funnier with this explanation.

            Well, take that, established rules of comedy!

            …The previous sentence was a reference to common idiom, “If you have to explain the joke, then it’s not funny,” while the current sentence is an example of irony. Here, I am not using irony as it’s colloquially used, which could best be described as a funny coincidence, but rather by its literally definition of, “the use of words expressing something other than their literal intention.” While the literal intention of my words is an explanation of my first and second sentences, the non-literal intention is a continuation of the premise that I am over-explaining my own jokes, thereby using irony to create what some would call a, “meta,” joke.

    If these closeted self-hating hypocritical politicians would just increase funding for mental health programs in our country, and then take part in them, maybe they’d realize that normal people wouldn’t hate them for who they are.

    Maybe they’d learn than it’s only their foolish party that’s trying to buy the votes of hateful bigots and misogynists via hateful accusations and oppressive policy that seemingly hate everyone, yet can never explain in when pressed up against confession.

    She also questioned how the video of her dancing at a club would be released before videos of Sean “Diddy” Combs and Jeffrey Epstein – both of whom prosecutors allege engaged in sex acts with minors – are released to the public.

    Because you were at a public party, you dumb fuck.

    School choice activist Corey DeAngelis participated in a GayHoopla adult film called “Super Star Compilation! How Many Strokes Til You Cum?!” before writing his book, The Parent Revolution: Rescuing Your Kids from the Radicals Ruining Our Schools.

      This is the same timeline that fails (refuses?) to recognize the dystopian overlap of 1984, Fahrenheit 451, Idiocracy, Margaret Atwood, … and its own blithely un-ironic trajectory, right?

      It’s always projection. Every fucking time.

      I don’t want to accuse the GOP of pedophilia, but so many of their accusations have been admissions that it disgusting to even contemplate.

      It’s so strange that these types of people choose the GOP, because I don’t think most Democrats give a shit about this. It’s definitely just them taking on a strong form of projection…

      It’s sad. These people are just sad people running away from things their “friends” told them are evil. So they then become “the friends” to others. And here we have sad circle of GOP life. Sad people making other people sad.

    Interesting that GOP will list things that they are opposed to and then go and do them. We better make sure this dude isn’t a pedo.

    Knowing how much the Gaggle Of Pedophiles likes to project, maybe she showed up expecting something at that party.

      Nah, Just run of the mill Republican Hypocrisy.

      Like the Anti-Gay pastor that was caught taking a rent boy on an all expenses paid european vacation.

      or the anti-gay senator caught trying to proposition a guy in an airport bathroom

      or any other anti-whatever republican inevitably being involved/doing/being what they are against.
