I want to post a right winged talking point but not support it because it has me sooo triggered

Somehow I ended up in another fight on FB, (I know......I am an idiot)

I remember this person from childhood having some developmental delays, doesn't matter except she posted about disability and I was trying to tell her Trump is try to take that away along with SS. Anyway her friend chimes in a calls Biden a pedohphile. and i frigging lost it! Then she posts pics of Biden kissing babies.............like anyone or any politician kisses babies as fucking proof????

This really triggered me. I don't know if it is the subject matter itself or the fact that they are trying to pin it on Biden or the fact that I was abused...but not as a baby.

Actually it is the "How low can they go?" thing that bothers me so much. I wouldn't make that shit up about anyone. And I do not think this woman believed those pictures were bad either, they are just shoveling this thing at my candidate and our future president.

I've heard about woman using their children and making shit like this up about their X's to get back at them and I think it is horrible.

I do not think that we have ever had any presidential election where people have gone this low and dirty to try and denigrate the opposition. Never has any candidate been accused of such a thing. But that doesn't stop donald fucking trump.

They should be sued for this. Heck they should be strung up in the public square for this!

Never, Ever engage in a political discussion, debate, argument or alike on Facebook.

It’s like wrestling a pig. The pig will enjoy it and you will just get dirty.

But you are so right. You should not be allowed to accuse anyone of that sort of thing!

I'm going back under a new name and see if I can do anything.

(I've gone under a different account)

This was mean of me but I told her someday someone is going to accuse her of pedophila and she is going to see how it feels.

This election; this entire Trump regime is bringing out the absolute worst in me!

a person kiss a baby? Maybe you should seek counseling for this.

on edit: "Maybe you should seek counseling for this" is meant for the creepy person, not you.

that in him just kissing babies. They have to be off their rocker to believe this shit and to equate it to normal things like I'm sure they have done in their lives!

My grandmother used to say, "Come get your sniffs" when there was a baby in the house - because they always smell so good!

And some deranged trump supporter turns it around to something dirty.

They believe that Democrats and the "global elite" are running a gigantic child sex ring, as well as actually eating children. And, of course, they're Trump supporters.

Yes, it's insane, and no, there is no limit to how low they will go. I would simply avoid dealing with this sorts of people.

I found this just for grins.

At this Jackson again raised his hat and said, “I am he, and I am glad to know you. And is that fine boy your baby? Let me have him.” The woman handed the dirty-faced infant to Old Hickory. Jackson took it and held it up before him.

“Ah! There is a fine specimen of American childhood. I think, madam, your boy will make a fine man some day.”

Then, with a quick gesture, he put the dirty face of the infant close to the face of Secretary [of War] Eaton, saying quickly and soberly, “Eaton, kiss him?”

General Eaton pretended to do so with a wry face, amid the laughter of the crowd, and Jackson then handed the baby back to the happy mother.
