Does anyone think the administration cares a whit that what they did was illegal? This amounts to them getting their hands slapped but the money will still be clawed back.

Going way back to “why is maga so obsessed by pedophilia”, here’s a little quote pulled from the Editor’s blog entry on it:

“They’re obsessed about it as a legitimator of a certain level of hatred and mass violence.”

To further explain, It’s because raping small children incites a high level of disgust and rage, which justifies the violent physical attacks that maga wants to inflict – in this case, on Democrats and other Lefties.

It’s been my belief that this impulse is behind the insane popularity of zombie themes over the last few decades. A lot of folks just want to be able to go out and slaughter their neighbors, and feel good about doing it. But, moving on…

Legally, is a 17 year old so different from an 18 year old, except by law? And when the ugly facts of Trump’s “indulgences” come out, that’s most lilkely what the maganuts will rationalize. After all, there’s a difference between, say, a 17 year old and a 7 year old, right? And one would think Trump would know this.

I’m still bewildered by what could possibly embarrass a man like him. What couldn’t he manage to somehow turn into a virtue. (But only when he does it.) (Obviously.)
