Republican State Senator busted after soliciting a teenage girl
2025-03-23 01:21:49
Republican State Senator Justin Eichorn of Minnesota was arrested for soliciting a teen girl on Monday just hours after he introduced a bill proposing "Trump derangement syndrome" (TDS) as a form of mental illness.
The bill, introduced by five Republican state senators, would add the the syndrome — TDS, as President Trump and his supporters frequently refer to it — to the state’s definition of mental illness.
The five Senators who authored the bill are Justin Eichorn, Eric Lucero, Steve Drazkowski, Nathan Wesenberg, and Glenn H. Gruenhagen. So far only Eichorn has been arrested for soliciting sex from an underage girl.
The bill defines TDS as "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal persons that is in reaction to the policies and presidencies of President Donald J. Trump." The president has long invoked the fabricated diagnosis as a way to label his political opponents as mentally ill when they criticize him or express outrage in response to outrageous actions he has taken. The bill seeks to turn that diagnosis into law, labeling anyone who disagrees with anything that President Trump says or does as being mentally ill.
The bill goes on to state that "An 'adult with acute mental illness' means an adult who has a mental illness that is serious enough to require prompt intervention," and with TDS being defined as a legitimate mental illness, anyone disagreeing with Trump can now be locked up in a mental institution.

The IBM Selectric Typewriter Changed My Life
I ran my hands lovingly across her frame, lightly brushing her metallic nipples with my fingers, admiring the shapes and the ways of her curves, the empathetic hum she produced as I had my way with her, the way she made it all seem so effortless and right... she didn't even seem to mind the way I roughly manipulated her knobs and tweaked her casing. She was extremely tolerant, for a typewriter. (More...)
