It's always the ones you most expect.
Add it to the pile of #notadragqueen
Since it's easy to blindly trust something that supports your point of view, and this picture could have easily been anyone, or no one, here's a real source.
I read the source as: soliciting digital material from minors, multiple victims.
So, he'll go to prison for a few years. He'll come back out having really found Jesus and being truly repentant.
What's the over/under on him reoffending? I think probable.
Depends on the terms of release and how wary of him folks are. But if he is forced to stay the fuck away from power and is denied internet access id say there a good chance he doesnt. If not well garuntee he will and we can do the whole song and dance again.
There's only one thing the gop loves more than LOUD projection and that's abusing kids. The party of the grand ol' pedophiles

- NOTE: I'm reaching the character limit on Reddit posts, so here's a website with a list of about 1000 of these republican shit stains on humanity.
Drowning in the receipts!
They are not pedophiles, almost all of them are ephebophiles! ~~\s~~
Put it on the ridiculously long list.
They’re up to # 1325. That is exhausting.
And they haven't updated since July.
I clicked this link. I shuddered that there were 53 installments. The latest was in July of this year. Open the latest, can't be that many. 1325 total, this one installment has 25.
What the actual fuck is wrong with people?
Except he actually got arrested. Bit too poor probably.
Trump actually got arrested too. That's where the mug shots came from. He's been arrested, tried, and convicted. Now we just have to hope he gets imprisoned.
For that he first has to lose the election. Because for whatever reason he is still allowed to run for presidency has a realistic chance of winning and can pardon him self. Damn Murica is so fucked. I wonder how they're allowed to be called first world country with such a fucked political and jurisdictional system...
Presidential pardon don't cover everything, it only covers federal offenses, and also being eaten at thanks giving.
He's still not going to prison if he wins though, if leading an insurrection wasn't enough to remove his name from the ballot, then he will get away with anything if he wins.
Voting blue is a vote for the constitution, arguing on the internet does little compared to sending in your ballot early
Yeah I wish I could vote or have some influence over people who would vote for Trump or not at all. But I'm european, so I can mostly just hope that a large amount of muricans don't fuck everything up...
It's all ready fucked up, it's time for Americans to vote to clean things up now. The whole point of the US independence was idenpendence from a king, especially one that farts and smells
They all look like some variation of JD Vance
It's like an all-white asshole version of the boardgame "guess who"
Does your person have a white ghost costume?
Wow, my brain just went down a long road of red armbands, black suits, tan suits, etc... there's so many figures this game could actually work... jfc.
We know, he has the nazi hat on.
So he's 29 and this happened slightly over ten years ago. It's possible that he could have been 18yo at the time and talking to a 17yo which would be pretty normal. But I don't think he'd lose his job for that. The church would be defending him by pointing out that that's a common thing for high school seniors to have one 18 and one 17 as they both become adults. Not happening here, so I think it's safe to say this was further out of bounds. The church said what they learned was shocking. What I just described is not shocking.
Let's go maga creeps! You just keep winning so hard. Definitely not a drag queen.
Definitely not the situation
Relevant bits:
The Washtenaw Co. Court MiCOURT Case Search shows a Zachary Radcliff facing a total of 11 charges. The charges include Child Sexually Abusive Material, multiple counts of Computers-Internet-Communicate with Another to Commit Crime and Criminal Sexual Conduct-1st Degree.
“The investigation started on October 2, 2024, when information was received that Mr. Radcliff solicited Child Sexually Abusive Material from a minor,” the Tweet said. “Search warrants were executed at both Mr. Radcliff’s office and residence. The investigation has identified multiple victims.”
His bond is set at $3 million, according to MiCOURT Case Search.
The investigation is ongoing. The MSP are encouraging any further victims to come forward.
Age of consent in Michigan is 16. Even if he was 18, sex with a 15 year old is not ok.
A significant number of my female high school friends were seduced by college student aged men at that age and it really fucked them up psychologically. Some of them for years.
I remember taking one of my friends to get a pregnancy test because she was getting screwed by a fucking substitute teacher who was also a grad student (it was a college town) and he never got found out.
Yup. It seems like most women I know well lost their virginity to older men. It wasn't always predatory but it happened often enough to really give pause.
I think you can argue that it's always predatory even if the girl didn't realize it at the time.
It's always the people you least expect
*most expect
Didn't think I needed an /s but here we are!
Just thought you were setting someone up for the slam dunk. Thanks for the assist.
I lead others to a treasure I cannot possess
In the MAGA spectrum, At the low end, it is cultist tribalism stupidity and at the worse end is every scumbag, low life degenerate shocked society is not OK with their deviance. In between, every opportunistic asshole with the hope their sorry existance gets normalized and socially accepted by providing scraps of respect.
That image looks super AI generated.
I guess so. It's technically AI edited since phone companies use those stupid AI filters to spruce up images and make it look like you're using a large lens by artificially blurring everything not on the plane of this totally unrealistic shallow focus. Then, AI models were trained on these shitty images.
And then, y'know: garbage in, garbage out
My unpopular opinion rant: no one thinks your users actually used a DSLR or MILC to take that selfie. Anyone kit-shaming anyone else these days needs to get a fucking life. So, if we all know the picture was taken with a phone, and we're all okay that the picture was taken from a phone, then phone manufacturers need to stop forcing their users to look like chumps with these ridiculous filters. If you as a user enjoy using filters, I'm glad you found something that makes you happy. If you're a user whose photos look poorly edited because that's what your phone manufacturer decided should be default for you, then your phone manufacturer deserves a big ol' spanking. #SpankPhoneManufacturersNotChildren
Looks like the shitty portrait mode a lot of androids have to me
it does look like the head has been borrowed from another photo altogether.
Another chance for me to say phrenology is totally real. Literally all the confirmed awful people just have inexplicably weird shaped heads where something seems not right. It almost makes me want to judge people I don't know anything about based on their head shape, but I've never actually seen anyone with a head weird enough to set off my spidey senses in person.
Noooo!!! Who would have ever seen this coming!?!?
The POS will not be allowed to vote and legally own guns. Another MAGAT down the drain.
