THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT TRANS PEOPLE BUT STEADY MOLESTING OUR KIDS. BASTARDS

rosassw.bsky.social•1 day ago

Reaction Formation: by condemning what they secretly feel, they distance themselves from their internal conflict and avoid social or political repercussions. This manifests in restrictive legislation, or aligning with groups that reinforce their public stance—despite private behavior.

nocure4curiosity.bsky.social•1 day ago

I guess he wanted to be the genital check inspector.

haleyhazelton.bsky.social•1 day ago

Probably hoping to do the checks himself

Dude tried his best to make it legal first but just couldn't wait.

darkrose22.bsky.social•23 hours ago

Whenever I hear someone unironically propose random genital checks or anything else that allows them to see people's private parts or their nudity, I instantly suspect them of being some type of predator. Maybe that's a bit harsh, I don't know, but stories like Justin's make it hard to not think so.

robishungry.bsky.social•1 day ago

Its always them, why can't the kids be allowed to be who they want and play together, why must there always be a wall between them enforced by some other generation out of touch with reality or seeking to pervert it

jaymejonesart.bsky.social•1 day ago

God damn he looks like a ghoul...

ma-at.bsky.social•1 day ago

Of course he did. These genital obsessed pervs are always telling on themselves.

smaman.bsky.social•1 day ago

Methinks we should start investigating everyone else who's so obsessed.

ma-at.bsky.social•1 day ago

Absolutely. If you read the insane scenarios these folks cite as potential harm that could be caused it’s absolutely creepy. They’re thought exercises and not stuff that’s happening. It’s a dark look into their minds.

tmurp1953.bsky.social•1 day ago

The simple explanation is, Senator Eichorn has TDS.

arcalargo.bsky.social•1 day ago

It's always the ones you expect the most.

sciencexspirit.bsky.social•1 day ago

A child predator wanting to inspect children's genitals? How revolting yet expected. Maybe this is a lesson that people need to stop and think of what people's ulterior motives could be when they suggest things like this.

countdeathtoll.bsky.social•1 day ago

I mean, at this point, if they're bringing legislation like that to any legislative body, it should be an automatic investigation...

It has become so got damn predictable that Old Faithful sets its watch to the occurrence!

2. According to a statement from Bloomington Police, Eichorn believed he was arranging to meet a 17-year-old girl for prostitution, but was actually communicating with law enforcement officers. The Attorney’s Office is expected to file felony charges against him for Soliciting a Minor Under 18.

erininthemorning.com•1 day ago

3. Eichorn co-sponsored SF 2531, a bill that would ban transgender women from women’s sports. The bill stipulates that if there is “a dispute” regarding a student’s “female sex,” the student must present a physician’s statement based on “internal and external reproductive anatomy,”

erininthemorning.com•1 day ago

4. Eichorn is a vocal supporter of anti-trans advocate and former collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines, backing both her activism and the bill’s invasive requirements as necessary to “save women’s sports.”

5. Eichorn also introduced SF 2589 this weekend, a bill that seeks to classify “Trump Derangement Syndrome” as a mental illness, defining it as “acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal persons that is in reaction to the policies and presidencies of President Donald J. Trump,”

6. "As a 40-year-old man, if you come to the Orange Jumpsuit District looking to have sex with someone’s child, you can expect that we are going to lock you up," Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges said in the released police statemen.

7. The Minnesota Senate Republican Caucus released a statement calling for him to resign, saying, “We are shocked by these reports and this alleged conduct demands an immediate resignation. Justin has a difficult road ahead and he needs to focus on his family.”

assfarter.bsky.social•1 day ago

Not the main issue, but the way cops say "someone's child" instead of "some child" is fucking gross. Most kids abused like this are foster kids without parents - it's still wrong and fucking evil to rape them.

“Trump Derangement Syndrome” = Believing Trump when he speaks

The real problem is Trump DEVOTION Syndrome. It’s a mental illness that causes MAGA devotees to lose their minds and vote against their own best interests.

It should come as no surprise that someone who thinks that folks genitals' need to be checked wants to check out folks' genitals himself. These folks are gross and creepy.

A 17 year old. In some states the age would be fine.

He was also married. So is adultery fine in some states? And what are his party's thoughts on this subject? Something about family values? Don't they mention that bible thing and some list of commandments? What do those say about adultery?

fokus.bsky.social•18 hours ago

I don't know why you're asking me these questions but no adultry is not illegal in most states. You can find that out with a simple search.

assfarter.bsky.social•1 day ago

Least now we know why he's so concerned about kids' genitals, I guess. Gross.

madcowmunity.bsky.social•1 day ago

Well, I'm just shocked. Who knew that it was all projection? 🙄

lakinjones.bsky.social•1 day ago

"Shocked" says the Republican colleagues. Uh huh...

Really, they're shocked when one more Republican bigot ends up being a predator or pedophile.

There have been hundreds, if not thousands, of Republican representatives charged with being one or the other, or both.

is anyone surprised?

Did he want to conduct the genital checks himself?

teresapalomar.bsky.social•1 day ago

I'm just spitballing here, but could it be that Justin Eichorn cosponsored the bill requiring genital checks because -- and remember, I'm just wondering --- he's obsessed with children's genitals?

His damn bill requires internal and external checks.

Their obsession with genitals seems to be an unconscious outward manifestation of their sexual desire for children.

I wonder how many of them wanted to be the inspectors.
