You don’t have to imagine.

That right-wing story about how theft is causing retailers to shut down isn’t just going to write itself! She’s just helping to feed the outrage machine. It’s really not that different from the Mom in Florida, making the case for pulling LGBTQ books from the shelves by engaging in some of that herself.

Clearly it’s this Biden economy that’s forcing her to steal to survive.

Update. Ziegler’s rape charges have been dropped. The police are recommending that prosecutors charge him with felony video voyeurism, which is punishable for up to 5 years in prison.

Shame that the police don’t think they could sustain a charge of rape or sexual assault, but the attorney general is reviewing the police’s recommendation. Maybe I’ve been doing something wrong, but I don’t recall ever feeling the need to offer ‘financial help’ to someone after having a consensual sexual encounter with them.

I happened to see this live (and the station ID is not a typo!). I could tell that she was really getting off on the phrase “strap-on dildo”, even though there was absolutely nothing sexy about its use in this context (Trigger warning: this boy was raped with one, by a relative )
