There are a lot of stories that should have gotten loud traction in the election, but this recent one was pushed by CATO.

We’re going to find, see, be reminded of many similar actions or efforts by Trump

I know especially with him, every accusation is an admission, but damn.

it's all projection

Every accusation a confession.

As dependable as Old Faithful.

Or Serutan.

Every accusation is a confession with him. Probably because he has no imagination to speak of.

I RTed the initial post and have posted this at least 3 times both here and Xitter. I think a few outlets did a story.

It was VERY late in the cycle, but I just keep coming back to it, bc he basically got a pass on crime generally.

It's just incredible. I also somehow missed the 2021 IG's report with the line about sex offenders being released to make room for prosecution of migrant parents. That should have been a talking point for every Democrat for weeks.

D.C. Dems live in terror of criticizing the GOP too harshly. Might effect all those GOP "swing" voters they never get.

Every Republican Accusation is a Confession.™️

I know we all know that. I’m just marking this story for the collection.

Why do I get the feeling he did so because he LITERALLY thinks they’re from insane asylums.

tricksypixie.bsky.social•131 days ago

Absolutely this! That's why he goes on about Hannibal Lecter all the time. He confuses insane asylum with seeking asylum the thick twat! How would he even know if anyone had come from an insane asylum? It's not like countries they're coming from are famed for investing money they don't have on MH 😂
