Summary

Minnesota Republican state Sen. Justin Eichorn, who introduced a bill classifying “Trump Derangement Syndrome” as a mental illness, was arrested for allegedly soliciting sex from a minor.

Police say Eichorn believed he was meeting a 16-year-old girl but was actually texting undercover officers. His arrest came just a day after he and four other Republican senators introduced the controversial bill.

Eichorn, who is married with four children, was booked into jail and will be transferred to the Hennepin County Adult Detention Center.

    Once again, not a drag queen. We need to ban religious figures and Republican politicians from reading to children.

      Modern conservatives lack the creativity to imagine plausible damning accusations.

      They must draw from life.

      When they hilariously try, we get “Jewish space lasers” and “pizza parlor child fight club rings.”

      Then they get angry that basically every creative and artistic field is dominated specifically by not them. When they get handed a budget to attempt creativity, we get preachfest garbage like “God’s not dead 23” that spends 2 hours basically turning to the camera lecturing viewers about conservative grievances in the form of repetitive gotcha strawman scenarios like it’s Festivus.

      That’s the problem with only hating, with only negativity, with only being against change. It’s like trying to grow a flower by watering it with vinegar.

      I wonder if this was on purpose… word gets around in those circles. People know each other.

      You can, but no one would be interested because “it’s just not realistic.” This is almost entirely a meme at this point.

    I wonder how long before the fake org called “doge” seeks to defund any police anywhere that are catching pedos, because it is probably just “waste, fraud and abuse” to bust what are probably mostly qons.

        I’ve always been kind but not nice. Kindness is imperative. Niceness is worthless and taken for weakness. I was raised by men that killed Nazis and taught never to forget.

    The “Conservative party” summed up in one article. Yell, scream and call people pedophiles … all because they themselves are pedophiles and perverts.

    This is fucking hilarious. What a twisted fuck. He’s deranged in multiple ways, and probably a lot more we don’t know about. Probably beats his wife and kids, and kicks his dog. Probably head of the HOA, too.

    I hope his worst colleagues in prison have lots of fun with him.

      We all hate this guy, don’t get me wrong, but making disgusting claims like that just lowers us to their level.

      You can be a pedophile without being an HOA president.

    Pedophiles and sex offenders introducing invented mental illnesses. A great summary for the Republican party
