Republicans are the party of child rapists.

Holy crap!

And I mean that literally. All these Republicans think they are made in their Lard God Trump's Imperial Image, and that whatever they do is allowable, even lawful.

If he's even able to stay in the race, that's a condemnation of this Republican Cult Worship.

Thank you, GOPers, for your inattention to this matter.

Reminder this is the scumbag who threatened doctors with felonies for giving women abortions necessary to save the women's lives.

I thought Republicans were the law-and-order party. The party that warned of a worldwide pedophilia ring headed up by the libs.

No?

So instead, it's the party that supports pedophiles?

OK, I'm writing this down.

They discovered that many pedophiles are friends of Trump and/or very rich.

What is worse? Reducing his sentence to 30 days 8in jail or voting 4for a sex offender for President?

"Senator John Cornyn has actively campaigned on his alignment with Donald Trump's agenda, emphasizing a 99% voting record with the President while seeking to secure his endorsement during a contested 2026 Republican primary runoff against Ken Paxton."

I init8ially read the headli7ne about Cornyn's ob44jection to 7the reduced sentence but then I recalled his support for another famous sex offender and didn't change my mind about .that reduced sentence but it did make me just want to vomit! And it reminded me why I am glad I don't live in Texas!

Pedophilia has been fully embraced by republicans.

I wouldn't be surprised to find out instances of pedophilia have increased due to Trump and the Republican Party inspiring others to rape children.

What I been tellin' you!
Texas is by FAR the most corrupt state in the country!

And that is edging out Floriduh and Tennessee.

"A child was sexually abused for three years, and Ken Paxton thinks that should be a misdemeanor with no jail time and no requirement to register as a sex offender."

Child molestation is seen as a positive activity by MAGAts.

#14 | Posted by reinheitsgebot at 2026-05-04 09:06 PM

Nothing less than full legalization of child sex abuse will satisfy the MAGA crowd.

I love watching the rats fight each other.

GOP = Guardians Of Pedophiles.

I've never cared for Cornyn but Paxton is truly vile.

I've never voted for politician Cornyn because I don't vote for former judges for political office. But I will in this primary because Paxton is beyond the pale.

Has that ever stopped you from supporting a Republican candidate before? Are you telling us you'd vote for Talarico?
