    Cross dressing is now illegal in Ohio. In a bill that is vaguely worded and will be enforced very subjectively because nature didn’t clarify what clothes are masculine and feminine

    Nothing wrong with crossdressing. Though it sounds like he sent some of the pictures to others without consent which is much more of a problem of course (harassment)

    But if he wants to dress up as a girl, why not.

    "I don’t give a fuck who they’re screwing in private

    I wanna know who they’re screwing in public"

    This bitch puts children in cages. Ridicule and shame her and her family for hypocrisy all you want, it’s well deserved, but the fact that this even matters is pretty wild.

      It will be interesting to see MAGA’s take on it. Is finding a new partner ok to them in this scenario, or should she be the subservient all-accepting wife?

      I don’t often want to know MAGA’s opinion on anything, but to watch them come to an impassable intersection of their values will be fascinating.

          Yes. It’s a feature, not a bug, and the propaganda is made to do this by design: if you can keep someone in cognitive dissonance, you can feed them whatever cognitive slop you want, and then they have to find a way to explain it to themselves and keep believing, or face the consequences of realizing the whole thing is a lie, which are usually too high to bear. And it just piles on.

          This is part of why the Trump Republicans hate James Talarico so much: he is showing the MAGA crowd you can (and should) be able to keep your Christianity and still ditch Trump, the two are not connected in any actual way except by propaganda. I think urban folks don’t realize just how hard this conflation of MAGA and Christianity has been pumped in rural regions: to leave Trump is to face hellfire. To many of us that sounds ridiculous, and it is, but I’m not joking: they’ve made it so that to be Christian is to be MAGA, and to ditch Trump is to desert Christianity itself.

          Strangely enough, the cognitive dissonance is also the weakest point in the whole scheme, and is why the trip out of cognitive manipulation often starts with the tiniest, often unnoticeable piece that doesn’t fit: it sticks in their head and refuses to be argued away, and then something else happens, and something else. Cult deprogramming is all about this, allowing people physical space and time to find their own way out of the mental hole without ever actually forcing them to do so.

          It’s why getting rid of the news as infotainment is so critically important if we can ever get out of this mess: that’s the source of the propaganda that keeps it going for the hardcore MAGA believers no matter what their orange god does.

      Does Lewandowski really count as her subordinate if he was the one who was running the show the whole time? all she really did was get her hair done, shoot ads for her YouTube channel, and get fucked in the back of a private jet. And then later in front of Congress.

    Isn’t she screwing someone else anyway. All these people are hypocrites. If they say they hate cross-dressing, they love it. If they say they are Christian, they’re anything but. If they say they have good family values, they’re having affairs. Standard.

        She may be stupid enough to:

        • Believe this will change the narrative on her relationship with Lewandowski, her profligate spending, and the fact that it all led to her firing
        • Believe this will make her more sympathetic with the public to lay the ground work for having some kind of political career in the future

        Or she may be getting ahead of something, maybe her husband was starting to change his tune on the idea of being a loyal cuckold.

        If you assume these people are completely vapid, self-serving, and totally incapable of actual loving relationships, and above all - operating with a real deficit of intellectual and emotional intelligence; all of which appear to be rock solid assumptions, none of the options I proposed seem very far fetched.

      He might well do. But in the photo that’s been widely published, he does not look particularly awesome - apart from anything else, he couldn’t even be bothered to line up his fake nipples properly.

            These folks tend to have a pretty unhealthy personal relationship with their queerness. This person may not even be queer or trans in any way. We have no indication this person identifies as anything other than a straight cisgender male. They’re most likely just a straight cis guy with a crossdressing fetish.

              There is also a non-zero chance that he is just pissed off enough at his wife, who has been cucking him publicly with Lewandowski since the first Trump administration, to have gotten himself “caught” kinda sorta not by accident.

              In the pic I saw he’s looking directly at the camera, which would tend to indicate that he knew he was being photographed.

              It’s no guarantee he knew where that pic might end up, but on the other hand, in this digital age we ALL know that once a pic is taken, getting it out of every last repository is like trying to pull pee back out of a swimming pool.

              Maybe right now he’s happier than he’s been in ages. I hope so, anyway.

              TL;DR: I celebrate this guy’s harmless kink, everyone should have one. And honestly, if he employed it to also fuck over his wholly unnatural plastic-filled, two-timing, puppy-killing, immigrant-persecuting, MAGA-loving, murderously fascist virago of a wife that he believed was actually human when he married it, then I celebrate his harmless kink even MORE.

        Ah, the classic conservative UNO reverse play when a conservative gets busted for a behavior they do in the shadows while spending the rest of their time making life hell for anyone who lives that lifestyle in public. “I’m not a hypocrite, I’m a victim of persecution for my lifestyle and you’re the hypocrite because libs are supposed to accept me!” It attempts to thwart the opposition by turning it on itself arguing over whether it’s proper to criticize, when at the end of the day the Christian ruling class is still in a position to dictate morality to the masses while engaging in whatever they want and demanding to not be confronted about the hypocrisy. You don’t get to enjoy the protection and support of people you’ve helped persecute just because we found out you enjoy the same lifestyle without atonement for everything you’ve done. They don’t want to join anyway, they want to go back to their double standard of none for us and whatever for them while they pretend like they’ve got the moral high ground.

      • The man shamed himself plenty by the choices he has made, including the shitbag woman he married and the ideology he publicly espoused. Don’t act like we’re the ones shaming him, or that we’re shaming him for being LGBTQ.

          We also shouldn’t be certain he’s queer. Like don’t get me wrong, repressed egg is on the list of potential explanations, but he could be a cishet guy who developed this kink through other ways.

            That’s true, there are several reasons for men to crossdress. There’s the people who genuinely like to look female (like trans people and drag queens), there’s also those who feel it is ‘dirty’ or degrading and view it as a kink (sissification as it’s usually called). There’s also some who do it for other reasons without much gender/kink connotations (like for stag parties, initiation rites, carnival etc).

            Not all of these imply LGBTQ, only the first one really.

            In fact most of the people from the first group tend to be really elaborate about it and make themselves pretty, and not do a half-assed job like he did in that pic. So I would think he is probably not part of the LGBTQ community, at least not based on that pic (not that that would be a bad thing of course!). This looks more like a drunk weekend joke thing got out of hand.
