No matter what the issue, the law applies to you, but not us.
From releasing the Epstein Files to failing to funding things approved by Congress, we do what we want, and at the same time we will prosecute you for anything we can use against you.
Ask a MAGA why this is acceptable to them

(32,337 posts)it does zero good to debate them, to use logic on them. I flat out tell them that they voted for a party that protects pedophiles. I tell them that it was a lie that Democrats are the pedophile party, it is Republicans who are protecting the rich people who raped little girls.
I am from Pa. so I also tell them that if Jerry Sandusky gave Trump enough money he would pardon him too, I say that even Marjorie Taylor Greene gets it, then I walk away and ignore them.

(22,218 posts)in the College Football Playoff every year for the next 10, they'd happily go along. Point being, those PA magats you mention are so compromised morally that letting obvious criminality slide in order to "own the libs", "feel less inadequate", "shit on brown people" or whatever is easy for them. They don't give two shits about pedos as long as they're getting what THEY want. Epstein and the documentation about his antics mean nothing to them unless it involves Dems. It's all about politics and their fucked up political tribe. NOT about the immorality and criminality. They don't give a shit about that.
Magat trash are the most immoral and unethical part of American society, so they don't care if their dear leader rapes young girls. They only wish they could and get away with it too.

(1,012 posts)...think about what their own red lines are. Almost all of them do have them on various issues when forced to think about it.
My theory is that making them think about it will make them keenly aware of it when the lines are crossed. It may not stop them, but it is harder to ignore the hypocrisy in yourself when you've had to say it out loud to someone.
When I think about all the lines that have been crossed already by conservatives I lament not doing it sooner. At the very least, when those lines are crossed and you see them again you can ask WTF? It's hard to hide from things you said to someone out loud. They can't pretend they were always onboard with it--all they can do is try to justify why they changed their opinion, and that is far more difficult than pretending it was your opinion all along.
The hardest part is anticipating what the new red lines should be.

(29,035 posts)disgusting press conference using the term "sex rejecting" over and over. WTF is that even? Never have I heard that before from medical professionals.. These people are evil beyond imagination..

(7,790 posts)it's just funny the names they come up with to try to describe their prejudices as anything except prejudice. How about we call it "doctor misidentification" which is where some of it no doubt comes from? Gender actually is fluid, and is made to fit in a small box. If it doesn't fit neatly in that box, the doc makes the best guess he can to get something filled in on the birth certificate. It's not the kid's fault... the kid was misrepresented from the very beginning in these cases!

(29,035 posts)and Oz and Kennedy kept using the term. of course it's difficult to understand "gravel throat" and Oz is an idiot, but I thought I was hearing "sex denying".. and when I read transcripts is was "sex rejecting" both non medical or scientific terms.. Shame on these people..
Puts every trans person in America in danger, this kind of bullshit.
