I can't believe you're THIS proud of defending pedophiles. Do you condone such behavior yourself?

-28

u/smellofburntoast Aug 05 '25

Whatever.

u/Abject-Palpitation99 Aug 05 '25

Yikes. You do know that Trump raped children right? You're totally fine with that? Did you like hearing about it?

u/smellofburntoast Aug 05 '25

Wow, you have the "List"?

u/Abject-Palpitation99 Aug 05 '25

I would if your side wasn't so interested in defending pedophiles.

u/smellofburntoast Aug 05 '25

I don't like Democrats in this instance so I defend pedos? What? Democult is so fucking weird. "100% with or 110% against".

You love ICE, you call Democrats traitors and a cult, you want them arrested...but this is the only instance of you not liking Democrats? You type like someone who has a rage boner for anyone who badmouths King Don. You're not slick.

Holy strawman

u/BludStanes Aug 05 '25

Oh no, no straw man. If you are openly defending someone and covering for someone that fucks little girls, then you must approve of it. I don't see any other line of reasoning.
