Summary
Minnesota state Sen. Justin Eichorn, who introduced a bill classifying “Trump Derangement Syndrome” as a mental illness, was arrested for allegedly soliciting sex from a minor.
Police say Eichorn believed he was meeting a 16-year-old girl but was actually texting undercover officers. His arrest came just a day after he and four other Republican senators introduced the controversial bill.
Eichorn, who is married with four children, was booked into jail and will be transferred to the Hennepin County Adult Detention Center.

One could say that he’s “Not Like Us”, even.
Oh they can try
Isn’t one of the goals of Project 2025 to implement the death penalty for pedophiles?
Yes but they’ll define pedophiles as trans people.
Also gay people.
They’ve been doing that for decades
“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”
The law will not be used the way you think.
What’s so strange about it is that it’s impossible to be protected, yet unbound, by the law.
The only way it works is if a collective agree that someone is above the law. That would be what we call a “tyrant.”
But the collective, can, at anypoint, decide “you know, why does the tyrant get to be above the law?” In ye-olden days, the Tyrant was often actually a strong man. A decorated military leader. Someone who could force others to do his bidding. But even Caesar would fall to the blades of the Senate.
It only works if somehow a person becomes so detached from reality that they truly believe they are somehow superior than all others. With modern medicine, we call that a delusion of grandeur. So, no matter what laws conservatives make, they will inevitably be bound by it, because they are still mortal humans.
There is a book that I wish I could remember the title of because it deconstructs fascism. The goal isn’t fascism but cronyism. The in group is a concentric circle that gets smaller and smaller as you reach the top. Once power is concentrated, you dole out power based on your influence with the person at the top.
But because the in group is so small, you are more likely to have coups. It’s why fascism often doesn’t stay in power long because someone more power hungry will come along.
Putin’s days are numbered. He will be deposed either by his death or through a coup. He can only escape one of those.
…Unless they’re the president, according to the SCROTUS.
Someone has to be able and willing to enforce the law though. And the people have to be able and willing to remove officials who won’t.
Well I know the REAL intent is to target LGBTQ people
Please edit title to include kiddie fucker pedo with four children. Reads like he could have had too many speeding tickets. Feels like msnbc in here.
They never played nice, why should we give them any credit?
I’ve always been kind but not nice. Kindness is imperative. Niceness is worthless and taken for weakness. I was raised by men that killed Nazis and taught never to forget.
I wish I was taught the difference between the two, being autistic didn’t help.
Compliments the rejection sensitivity of ADHD. Kind is values. Nice is demeanor.
Californians are nice: oh, hey my lovely friend! I know I like totally promised to help you move today, weeks ago, but see, I realized this thing about my boundaries, and mercury is in retrograde, so I need to finish this chapter in my book today. But we should totally connect for a tea or hike in a few months when you’re settled in! Can’t wait to see the new place, so stoked for you!
New Yorkers are kind: hey, asshole, watch what the fuck yah dooin ova hea! Second Street? It’s right ova thea ya fuckin mook - lemme hole’ja grocuhrees faw yuh and help ya cross tha street. Nah, get outta hea - don’t be a fuckin asshole, it’s only 15 blocks outta my way.

When movies are made about this presidency, they’ll all need to be comedy. 😂
It’ll be a long time before I find this shit funny.
Idiocracy was comedy… until it wasn’t.
Pedocon theory is a theory just like gravity is a theory. Projection is their loudest attribute.
What an asshole.
Lmfao do this to all the republican politicians please especially the ones who seem so concerned about liberals being pedophiles
More trash acting morally superior. Its a tale tale sign in these trash humans.

LOL, another republican kiddie diddler. Add him to the
pilepyre.FTFY.
He about to become a member of Trump’s cabinet.
A new cabinet position is born! Secretary of Pedophelia.
No wonder they don’t want abortion; they want more kids to abuse.
Secretary of Pedophelia.
What would be the effective outcome, but because this is the maladministration of lonnie and donnie, or lonvict, they’ll give it a dumb “meme” name that spells out something a 12 year old can giggle about or some Orwellian name like Ministry of Protecting The Children.
The “Conservative party” summed up in one article. Yell, scream and call people pedophiles … all because they themselves are pedophiles and perverts.
It’s always the ones you most suspect.
Only sane people suspect these Nigerian prince grade con artists.
Meanwhile, conservatives have already invested their life savings into the new super-legit cryptocurrency, PedoCoin™️.
If no one has invented PedoCoin yet, that’s a million dollar idea waiting to happen.
1 day. Might be some kind of record.
Not even a day. It was hours.
According to wikipedia he’s still in jail. So I don’t know what you folks are talkin’ about.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_EichornThey are talking about how long after introducing the bill declaring his MAGA’ness before he was arrested.
They’re not talking about how long he was in jail they’re saying it was hours after he introduced the bill
Which makes you wonder if this was someone’s blackmail stash on him and he pissed off the wrong people and it was released or did someone set up a sting to bag him once he started talking about this bill. I am all for whatever it takes to fight back.
It looks like the sting was planned already and then he just so happened to introduce the bill on the same day.
Hiw long before he get the pardon?
Thankfully, POTUS can’t pardon a state crime, only federal.
He’ll argue that the accused participates in “interstate commerce”, which is regulated at the federal level, not the state. By imprisoning him against the will of the President, the state infringes on federal powers. Thus, the President’s power to pardon extends to state crimes as well as federal.
And just like that, human trafficking is state-sanctioned
No, it is federal-sanctioned.
But wait, the Fed is the state!
Wait darn it English!
That would be for somebody who think the law apply to him
promoted to head of the newly formed “Department of Solicitation of totally adult people, Trust us”
Holy shit that is the most hilarious thing I’ve read today.
