LOL, because of course.

The conservatives are the ones that were [1] screaming about kids being trafficked by Hillary and friends out of the basement of a basementless pizza parlor, but this probably all had so much traction with conservative idiots because it's always projection with this bunch.

Always.

[1] Some probably STILL are screaming about this. I can think of specific instances of people I saw online that were still quite sure that pizzagate was real, in spite of what the Liberal Media and The Deep State were lying about, naturally, and that because Taco was in office, that The Storm was going to happen at any moment. This was in late 2020, before the election (Tacostein getting elected again would of course fix something that he was unable to fix in his first term, so that's why you should vote for him in 2020) and very long after the term "pizzagate" was used as a punchline. I could see these people claiming The Storm was going to sweep up Hillary, et al, all throughout the years of 2017-2020.

At this point, due to how the, "every accusation is a confession," phrase keeps proving itself true, over and over, I genuinely believe that a group of MAGAt Republicans are trafficking children for sex from the basement of a pizza parlor, somewhere. I mean, maybe it's really a pancake parlor or something, but....

Agreed, and when these dingbats stroke off to fantasies about how "The Storm" is going to take out all the Democrats, I think they are hoping that will distract from the real storm of arrests that should be happening among the conservative population nearly everywhere, and at all levels.

Good Sweet Baby Jesus! I fear you must be correct about this. The bizarre specificity of the accusation which is objectively crazy otherwise screams that GOPers are actually doing this somewhere!
