update: Justin Eichorn (which may or may not mean squirrel in German), cosponsor of this bill, was just arrested for soliciting a minor for sex (attempted: the 16 year old girl he thought he was sexting was, when he got to the motel, a cop).

well he looks nice.

srsly where the hell does the GOP get these people? do they peruse local HS senior yearbooks for 'classmate most likely to get imprisoned for soliciting a minor" and say to themselves, "yep, looks like a winner to me!"?

As I've said before...

MAGA: "Biden's a senile criminal mastermind! Obama's a seekrit muslin from Kenya! Clinton hit list! Hillary's emails! BENGHAZI!!!11!!1!!"

Us: "Donald Trump is a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist."

MAGA: "YOU GOT TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME!!!!!"

Wow. This is giving off Soviet Union spiriting away of dissidents to psych wards... sometimes with enough shock therapy to totally fry their brains.

Just like everything else the Republicans have tried to steal as their own...

Back in the 1990s, if some chucklefuck right-winger would start ranting over "Clinton's body count" or how Hillary was some evil monster by saying that "It takes a village to raise a child" some saner person would say that they suffered from "Clinton Derangement Syndrome." By the early 2000s, when people would point out what crimes the Dubya administration were committing in full view, these same chucklefucks would screech that they "suffered" from "𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗵 Derangement Syndrome." Never a mention of how they accused Biden of the very same things they are now creaming their off-brand jeans in for their ignorant, treasonous, racist messiah.

Of course they call it TDS because MAGAs are incapable of spelling "derangement" or "syndrome."

Extreme sycophancy could be a mental illness, by MN GOP standards of what constitutes a mental illness. Since such a condition could cause harm to themselves or others, the GOP could be civilly committed! C’mon, MN Democrats!

So I could shoot a bunch of Nazis and claim it's "Mental Illness".

I mean, okay, I'm fine with that...

There’s a much better case to be made for Trump Devotion Syndrome.

The main meds Rebs should be on is enough booze to render them incoherent. Oh. Excuse me. I was just informed they are already incoherent enough. Old Handsome Joe and Smiling Kamala Harris are living rent free in their heads. The smooth surfaces of their cerebellums have enormous acreage on which to plant rumors of liberal control still operating to destroy Trump.

"this is not how things work"

> in Minnesota, maybe. But this is the first of what I suspect will be dozens of similar proposals in less-democratic, er Democratic, states. And much like trans legislation and womens' health legislation, this shit snowballs.

Having a law on the books will make it easier for the MAGAt stormtroopers to round up the trouble-makers. I've never been to El Salvador....

Trump Derangement Syndrome is a real thing. It's a condition where people become deranged by their unexplained and unexplainable devotion to Trump.
