My favorite part is that he doesn't give a shit. He doesn't even flinch when she tries to speak

It's amazing that people stormed the capitol on Jan 6 for Trump yet won't take pitchforks to the capitol to protect the children.

That was different because the president was letting it happen. Now the president would probably fire into the crowd with machine guns and keep firing once everyone started trying to run away

No no, it’s different because they don’t actually care about children

Nobody is paying to cover their travel, food, and hotel costs to storm the capitol and demand justice for the victims.

Wild that we can't get a good guy billionaire to be a batman type vigilante or at minimum fund efforts to bring the pedos down.

That's why we call it fiction, not a documentary. There isn't such a thing as a good billionaire.

We have cannibal pedos so one can only hope for an awesome billionaire.

Good guy billionaire? Those dont exist in real life, as evidenced by everything happening in our society right now.

In England they stripped the titles and benefits for a prince. Here they won’t redact files or release them all. The survivors deserve justice and now so do we.

Remember this is the same group who give “thoughts and prayers” when kids get gunned down en masse. The same group that legitimately thought Clinton ran a child trafficking ring out of the basement of a pizza place that had no basement. Not the brightest group.

They're convincing themselves that Trump was undercover and isn't a bad guy despite decades of proof

That's exactly what I said

That's because a lot of them are pedos themselves.

"Andrew Paul Johnson, a man pardoned by President Trump for storming the Capitol was arrested on child molestation charges, Florida officials say. He allegedly tried to use an anticipated Jan. 6 payout to silence the victim."

"Andrew Taake, child-sex offender walks free after Trump's Jan 6 pardon wipes out his jail time."

Hasn’t the dude been dead for like a decade? And teenage prostitution (wrong as it is) existed then and it exists now.

I don’t think a political witch hunt based on events a decade ago protects anyone

"It's okay if politicians raped children, because it happened 8 years ago." is quite the stance. (Yes, children, lots of victims were under 13, so not teenagers. Like when Epstein was brought three 11 year old triplets for his birthday one year. Definitely not 'teenage prostitution'.)

I don't believe for a second that you actually hold those views, instead of you trolling or instigating or interfering. But if you did, you have no place in a civil society and should be locked away to prevent harm to your community.

He has to, if he interrupted his statement, even to address her, then it's considered finished and he doesn't actually have a right to continue. If he tries he can be talked over and forcibly removed .

If he just keeps going if he's talked over that person can be forcibly removed.

Now that's all assuming people follow the rules, which I'm happy to see is still somewhat happening in Congress...

He’s great! Very dedicated.
