Article’s paywalled. Any mention of malfunctioning cameras? Those seem to be thing in these situations. ---

I mean, if it was her-hats off. I think Chingon is just channeling Soupy Cruz’s Twitter feed. ---

> [@pullin](#): > > Article’s paywalled. Any mention of malfunctioning cameras? Those seem to be thing in these situations. No. The article doesn’t say anything about that. It does say that his lawyer said that he did it because he felt wronged, not because he felt guilty. ---

> [@Love\_Rhombus](#): > > I mean, if it was her-hats off. I think Chingon is just channeling Soupy Cruz’s Twitter feed. She’s retired. ( I hear she has a nice summer home inside the heads of the CrOX News Nation). Now, Prince Andrew? Well, MI6 still has his back. Rump? He’s all but been hand-picked as the 2024 GQP presidential nominee and there are hundreds of pictures of him with Epstein and his groomer. He has a thing for his too-young girls including his own daughter ( and in 5 years should probably be kept away from any of his grand daughters too). Matt Gaetz, Gym Jordan, and a few other elected GQPers all have well known underage proclivities ( although Sen Graham seems to be off the hook because I think he likes sheep instead). I think it’s still early to pull the envelope to read: “Subject X did it in the Lear Jet with the 5th grade little league team.”
