    Why isn’t this on ABC, NBC or CBS? Oh, right. Because the owner is probably in the Epstein files.

Judge Cameron McGowan Currie, who sentenced May, said the CSAM he shared was “more severe” than any other she had ever seen before, [WIS-TV reported](https://www.wistv.com/2026/01/14/ex-sc-rep-rj-may-be-sentenced-federal-child-sexual-abuse-material-charges/).

    Hypocrisy, thy name is Christian nationalist.

    I just bank it at this point that any Christian nationalist fear-mongering about trans people is secretly a predator in disguise. Christian nationalists wrap themselves “godly” fanfaronade, but they truly are sadistic monsters deep down.

    It’s now become so frequent that you automatically assume anyone attacking the LGBTQ community has some heinous crimes they are hiding.

  4. Statistically speaking, your child is more likely to get molested by a Republican than die in a car crash

    At least *one* pedophile is going to prison, it’s like the best news we’ve had all week. Or month. Or …

    Trump in oval office today, a young, about 9 year old girl right next to him. Not that in itself wasn’t disturbing enough, he was rambling on about executions and killings while she stood there looking a bit lost.

    Maybe it would be easier and quicker to name all the Repbulicans who aren’t pedophiles.

    So how many trans people have been convicted of abusing children? And how many MAGA have?

    🤣🤷🏽‍♂️

    The people screaming about the darkest shit, know it is happening because they are doing it.

  10. Anyone adamantly complaining about trans people should just immediately be the recipient of a search warrant.

  11. I’m sure every single one of them will vote against the party that keeps getting busted for this shit.

    Love this timeline. The right is beyond sick. All we asked was to acknowledge pronouns. They told everyone that meant letting men into women’s bathrooms while they were busy sexually harassing women and children.

    Edit: and the rest of them, for reasons I’ve studied but still can’t fathom, are terrified of skin colors.

  12. For the…. Checks notes. 193rd time, it’s always the people you most suspect. GOP is a breeding ground for pedophiles and their enablers that yell about everyone else being pedophiles.

  13. **State Republican Legislator from South Carolina R.J. May** is his name.

    Needs to be in the headlines…
