"Family Values"

By Baxter

Back in the early days of Pizzagate and QAnon, we cats were still learning about the crazy fringe people that the Republican Party eventually ended up mainstreaming as Trumpism overtook them.

Their charges of pedophilia against Democrats were bewildering to us at first. But now, we get it — because every accusation was, and is, a confession. Distract everyone by accusing your opponents of the worst thing you do yourself.

The root of it all is surely Epstein, but child rapists seem to be everywhere in the GOP. This story from Florida is just the latest:

"Fort Pierce City Commissioner James Taylor was arrested July 24 on felony charges after allegations of having an inappropriate relationship with a teen girl," Yahoo News reports.

"Taylor, 38, was jailed on charges including six counts each of transmission of material harmful to a minor by electronic equipment, transfer or display of obscenity to a minor, and harmful communication to a minor; four counts of lewd computer solicitation of a child; and two counts of solicitation of transmission of child pornography by electronic device or equipment, the St. Lucie County sheriff's office stated. All 24 counts are felonies.

"Sheriff’s officials reported the investigation started in August 2024 when police in Evanston, Illinois, got a report from the mother of a 13-year-old girl. The mother advised that her daughter, who was only 12 years old when the communications began, had been contacted by an adult male via Snapchat.

"Over time, the conversations became sexually explicit, and the suspect allegedly sent multiple nude images to the minor."

Jesus Christ, Republicans, when are you going to come clean on this and call it out? When Trump pardons Ghislaine Maxwell? We cats HISS.
