100% of presidential-candidate assassination attempts were performed by conservatives.
was jfk only a candidate at the time? til
That’s why I deleted it?
hmmm interesting. my instance is still displaying it. sorry!
The FBI was liberal?
Seems pretty weird to me.
Sounds weirdly like projection, or maybe the bigot is just jealous about a father's "access to at least 4 kids around the clock" - which is a super weird take, and likely a confession.
Otherwise known as being a parent. I dread to think why this persons mind went here and what they would do with access to children. Projection all the time with these freaks.
Because, Stupid Peters, those things are not against the law.
I know, I know, you conservatives have a real hard time with that concept.
I mean, taking a kid to a drag show is illegal in TN, right now. The GOP is actively working to make these things illegal.
Does the law say "drag show" or does it say something like "performance of a sexual nature" which the GOP is intentionally conflating with drag shows?

So just like I called it: conflating drag performances with actual adult entertainment.
Do people actually take their kids to drag shows or is that just a right wing talking point? I'm not really sure what kids would get out of it, aren't those aimed at adults?
I've never seen a kid at an adult-oriented drag show, fortunately, but I've seen Pride events occasionally offering a kid-friendly show, and there's the drag story hours that are a perennial conservative lightning rod. Drag queens are good at interacting with crowds and they're generally really colorful - they're probably quite entertaining during story hour.
