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.

Poor Metallica. All they want is to continue to put out the same weak "Heavy Metal" they've been churning out since the "And Justice For All" days? and make gooey wads of cash in the process. The problem is, people aren't buying their bound for the heavy metal scrap heap, over-produced, uninspired, tired crap. And let's face it, their various commercial endorsements won't pay for the lifestyle they've become comfortably accustomed to. Resorting to lawsuits makes perfect sense, when you need spending money. But just one lawsuit isn't going to pay their bills. So, to aid Metallica, I've composed an open letter to the boys in the band, with suggestions as to whom else they might sic their lapdog lawyers on... (More...)
