At this point is there any sane individual that doesn’t see the GOP for what it is? A criminal enterprise dabbling in treason, pedophilia, torture, rape, self service, and who are generally authoritarian pieces of shit.
Anyone voting Republican immediately gets written off by me as a piece of shit. You know why? Because you’re all insufferable, conceited pieces of shit. You should all be ashamed of yourselves, you’re not, but you should be.
Conservatives - always be projecting

What a creepy looking guy. Also, what a creepy attitude:
“I take a lot of offense to the government and court’s notion that I perjured myself in this trial. ... Grooming behavior is the word you used,” he said. “If that’s the case, then I suppose anyone who gives someone a gift, whether it be a cheap gift or a million dollars, is grooming their companion for sex. OK? If that’s the standard that we’re going to apply, then I don’t know how there’s any standard to apply.”
No remorse.
Yes, lets just skip over the minor and sex part of the whole thing.
But his arrest fueled outrage among party activists.
TBF, the sun coming up in the morning fuels outrage among GOP activists.
Every accusation is a confession with these people.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
They likened Lazzaro to financier Jeffrey Epstein, who was arrested in 2019 on federal charges accusing him of paying underage girls for massages and then abusing them at his homes in Florida and New York.
Lazzaro’s indictment in 2021 touched off a political firestorm that led to the downfall of Jennifer Carnahan as chair of the Republican Party of Minnesota.
Prosecutors argued during his trial that Lazzaro enlisted Castro Medina, who he initially paid for sex, to recruit other teenagers — preferably minors — who were white, small, vulnerable or “broken.” He often sent cars to take the girls to his luxury penthouse condo at the Hotel Ivy in downtown Minneapolis, they said.
Lazzaro also helped run the campaign of Republican Lacy Johnson, who failed to unseat Democratic U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, of Minnesota, in 2020.
Several recipients quickly donated those contributions to charity after the charges became public, including U.S. Rep. Tom Emmer, of Minnesota, who received $15,600 but suffered no repercussions.
The government put his net worth in a bond report at more than $2 million but said its calculations didn’t include his “extensive” but hard-to-trace cryptocurrency holdings.
I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Pedocon theory is a theory in the same way the theory of gravity is.
This guy's face is unsettling. His lips are the color of worms that die in a puddle.
Glad he is going to prison.
Who’s protecting the children from the GOP?
My love for you is like a truck, Lazzaro
Would you like some making f*ck, Lazzaro
My love for you is like a rock, Lazzaro
Don’t suck any dicks on your way to prison!
Hopefully someone sex trafficks his butthole in prison for the next 21 years!
Dude sucks; full stop, but we can do better than prison rape jokes
And I shall go you one further, the fact that a lot of people think that prison rape is some kind of justice is directly linked to the poor recidivism stats we have. (I'm in the UK and would like to see more Nordic style rehabilitation type policies.)
Oh he sucks all right, you can ask BUBBA how much he sucks ;)
In all honesty though, he would probably be killed before raped in prison. PREA is considered a worse violation than murder in today's prisons.
