Too delicious. MN GOP introduces bill to declare “Trump Derangement Syndrome” a mental illness

[pdq]

The Hill:

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 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 actions he has taken.

Okay - funny. Fortunately, they’re in the minority, so this isn’t going anywhere - just more performative political drama. Like Vivek Ramaswamy, having been booted from DOGE, trying to save his flagging his political fortunes by proposing to rename one of the Great Lakes. miley-laughing001:

But “delicious”? Wait, there’s more to this story!

The very next day after they introduced this critical piece of legislation, one of the sponsors…well…

Police in the Twin Cities say a Minnesota Republican state senator has been arrested for allegedly trying to solicit sex from a minor.

So, Justin Eichorn, 40 year old, married father of four, now a State Senator (Family Values Republican) from up in “Fargo” territory (actually north-central MN) was just headed down to the big city to meet up with some girl he found on the internet for sex, and when he showed up it wasn’t the 17 year old he expected, but rather the police! Can you believe it? I hate it when that happens!

The detective arranged to meet Eichorn Monday on the 8300 block of Normandale Avenue, police say, and Eichorn later arrived in a pickup truck. He was then arrested without incident.

Eichorn was booked into jail Tuesday night and is being held without bail. A felony charge of soliciting a person under 18 years old to practice prostitution was officially filed on Wednesday. He also faces federal charges.

Not my line, but…At least he’s not a drag queen or something, so our childruns are still safe.

:ROTFL:

In my opinion, TDS should be defined as the state of mind of all the MAGAts who just take everything Trump says as Gospel.

No worries. Big Orange just needs to uncap his pardon Sharpie.

I think it’s kind of funny that they just recycled “BDS”, which was their thing for awhile until Bush II became the least popular president since Nixon.

Then that kind of faded down the memory hole.

But it’s baaaaaack….
