Summary

Minnesota Republican state Sen. Justin Eichorn, who introduced a bill classifying “Trump Derangement Syndrome” as a mental illness, was arrested for allegedly soliciting sex from a minor.

Police say Eichorn believed he was meeting a 16-year-old girl but was actually texting undercover officers. His arrest came just a day after he and four other Republican senators introduced the controversial bill.

Eichorn, who is married with four children, was booked into jail and will be transferred to the Hennepin County Adult Detention Center.

    If you are a public figure why would you risk this? I am not confident, but I am pretty sure there was some mid teir Diddy or Epstien he could have talk to.

    Whatever. Not surprised, hope he spends the rest of his life in jail.

    Isn’t one of the goals of Project 2025 to implement the death penalty for pedophiles?

      “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

      The law will not be used the way you think.

        What’s so strange about it is that it’s impossible to be protected, yet unbound, by the law.

        The only way it works is if a collective agree that someone is above the law. That would be what we call a “tyrant.”

        But the collective, can, at anypoint, decide “you know, why does the tyrant get to be above the law?” In ye-olden days, the Tyrant was often actually a strong man. A decorated military leader. Someone who could force others to do his bidding. But even Caesar would fall to the blades of the Senate.

        It only works if somehow a person becomes so detached from reality that they truly believe they are somehow superior than all others. With modern medicine, we call that a delusion of grandeur. So, no matter what laws conservatives make, they will inevitably be bound by it, because they are still mortal humans.

          There is a book that I wish I could remember the title of because it deconstructs fascism. The goal isn’t fascism but cronyism. The in group is a concentric circle that gets smaller and smaller as you reach the top. Once power is concentrated, you dole out power based on your influence with the person at the top.

          But because the in group is so small, you are more likely to have coups. It’s why fascism often doesn’t stay in power long because someone more power hungry will come along.

          Putin’s days are numbered. He will be deposed either by his death or through a coup. He can only escape one of those.

          Someone has to be able and willing to enforce the law though. And the people have to be able and willing to remove officials who won’t.

    Once again, not a drag queen. We need to ban religious figures and Republican politicians from reading to children.

    Pedocon theory is a theory just like gravity is a theory. Projection is their loudest attribute.
