Stop telling yourself it’s a few bad apples.
The whole saying is “A few bad apples spoil the bunch.” Saying that some people in a group are just a few bad apples doesn’t imply that the larger group is sound. It suggests that the entire group is spoiled.
Edit to add: For anyone who hasn’t seen it, here’s a list of 1,376 (and counting) Republican sexual predators, abusers, and enablers.
That “it’s only a few bad apples” would be a reasonable answer if that system gets rid and punishes those bad apples.
But if the system protects and ignores those bad apples, then the whole system is rotten
It does drive me crazy how people butcher that expression.
Right up there with pulling oneself up by their bootstraps, which was coined to make fun of rich fucks thinking this was somehow possible.
Adding on “The customer is always right”.
People often forget the next few words which are “in matters of taste”.
In which case, yes, absolutely. If a paying customer wants a well done steak with ketchup, sure. Or if they want some ugly clothing. Hell yeah, as long as they’re paying.
It’s not an excuse to act like an entitled asshole.
“…the barrel.” Apples don’t come in bunches, but at the time the saying was coined they were carted around like that. (Also it only took one, not a few.)
(I suppose the modern version is “one nazi spoils the bar.”)
What if this takes down Donald and half of Washington?
honestly, I’m perfectly okay with it taking down all of washington, if it comes to that.
I’m sure the Canadians would be happy to help again.
This is the part I love. There are MAGA folk who are like “Bill Clinton is in the files too” and I’m like “hell yeah, lock him up”. Shit, lock up every person that visited that island. Drain the swamp, as it was said. If there were democrats that went there, lock them all up. Lock up the movie stars, and whoever else. These are fucking pedophiles.
Lose at BINGO because I do not have “Pizzagate conspiracies coming back to bite republicunts in the ass and take em down in the process” on my bingo card
I have “Previous propaganda subjects backfire” on mine am I still in?
Win-win.
We’re not that lucky.
The entire top level of the current GOP is a pedophile, christofascist cult.

Pedocon theory is a theory in the same way as the theory as gravity, or term theory.
If this theory were true than Biden would have released the Epstein files. Both parties are complicit.
Biden respected the law, though. The files were sealed by a judge until after Ghoulaine Maxwell’s trial. They weren’t unsealed until after Jan 2024. Biden couldn’t, by law, release them.
Biden didn’t run a cult. He allowed the DOJ to operate independently of the executive, unlike Trump who demands loyalty oaths and treats every agency like his personal operatives.
That’s the current Fox News whataboutist talking point. Did you even read the article?
Yeah, I did, or else I wouldn’t have even known what pedocon meant. We already know there’s going to be some democrats on the list, or at the very least their donors. I don’t understand why this one isn’t a valid point.
Ok, but right now way more Republicans are for sure on that list(they just can’t seem to leave kids alone) and Biden isn’t in power to release the thing. Also leftists don’t particularly like Biden all that much, and it’s funny when the right thinks they’ve figured out a gotcha because it’s just a projection of how much they’ll let their own guy off the hook for stuff they know is awful.
If most of the Democrats go down then most of their voters would be largely ok with that. And at least the Democrats have made some moves to push this issue forward in the last couple weeks, which for them is refreshing given how little energy they often put into anything at all.
It’s weird this conversation sticks to democrats and Republicans. How many leaders from other countries would be implicated in this list? Either way Biden is a bitch for not releasing it, but I’d believe an excuse that he didn’t want to potentially fuck up 10 alliances with other countries before I believe he was protecting some pedo dems. I wouldn’t accept the excuse, but I’d believe it.
Names should be released regardless of party or country. Let the chips fall
Yep totally agree with everything you said.
You misspelled pedocon “fact”
Someone should cover Tim Minchin’s ‘The Pope Song’, but targeting Trump/GOP.
They should have let him empty his shitbag he looks backed up.
This was a new idea to me. That patriarchy and absolute power were connected to abuse and rape. I feel like someone just turned the lights on.
