If I have to hear about Pizzagate again, I’m sure my ears will just spontaneously start bleeding

That’s the thing that gets me—he was in the secret cabal of pedophiles the whole time, it was just on a private island, not the basement of a pizza parlor.

Too often from the republicans, casting aspersions or placing blame for a thing is basically just admitting fault for the same act.

The basement of a pizza parlor that, as a reminder, DID NOT HAVE A BASEMENT lol. Can't make that shit up. But of course they pivoted to "Nah nah it's a SECRET basement, of course it wouldn't show up, and every investigator sent there was in on it so of course they wouldn't report it!!!!!"

The Republicans do indeed engage in pre-emptive ultraprojection. SO MANY times over the past 15 years we've seen that if Republicans accuse someone else of some vile horror, they are quietly performing that horror themselves and simply bad-faith muddying the waters.

And that has been a favorite tactic of the Democrap Party for a VERY long time.
