'Matt Gaetz Raped A Homeless Teenager' is what you mean.
A teenager with a homeless parent? What? The fuck? Did she have a home and not allow her parent to live in it? Ended up having sex with? What? Yeah clearly you guys been caping for pedos long enough and you understand the assignment here

Not related to your point (and yeah, we need to primary him,) but it isn’t necessary to read the tea leaves of this recent election: it doesn’t take an expert to discern that people all over the country were clearly saying “fuck this.”

It is entirely possible to be respectful about the death of a person you disagreed with without “honoring” him by vowing to continue his disagreeable, hateful “work.”

So we have the “shooter” who didn’t fire any rounds whatsoever and the “peacekeeper” who shot and killed an innocent bystander.
