Wrong on that one too. https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2023/tom-hanks-sexy-baby-pedophile-epstein/ An Instagram post takes a Tom Hanks clip out of context to falsely claim he condones pedophilia An Instagram post claims to show proof that the actor Tom Hanks supports pedophilia. The Jan. 3 post showed a snippet of Hanks clapping his hands and shouting “sexy baby” at a child walking down from a stage. The video’s caption said, “Tom Hanks Not Even Trying To Hide It,” and includes several hashtags, such as #epstein and #ghislanemaxwell, referring to Jeffrey Epstein, a financier who died in jail in 2019 before being tried on sexual abuse and sex trafficking charges, and Ghislaine Maxwell, a friend of Epstein who in June was sentenced to 20 years in prison for conspiring with Epstein to sexually abuse minors. PolitiFact has rated Pants on Fire similar, unfounded statements about Hanks and pedophilia. The Instagram post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram.) The post takes Hanks’ clip out of context. It’s from a sketch the actor did in 2011 for the late-night talk show “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” satirizing the reality television series “Toddlers & Tiaras.” “Toddlers & Tiaras,” which aired from 2009 to 2016 on TLC, was criticized throughout its run for sexualizing young children competing in beauty pageants, wearing costumes and performing routines that were considered overly adult in tone. The sketch mocked the reality show; it did not endorse pedophilia. It featured Hanks as an overbearing father obsessed with a fictional daughter named Sophie winning a nonexistent child beauty pageant called “Miss Ultimate Sexy Baby Nevada.” QAnon conspiracy theorists have long claimed, without evidence, that some prominent politicians and celebrities are involved in a satanic child sex trafficking ring. We rate this claim about Hanks as Pants on Fire!

So they are presumed guilty unless they can prove they are innocent? If you never molested a child how can you prove it? You can't. You can't prove a negative that something didn't or never happened.

Maybe, but I doubt that Jimmy Kimmel is one of them.

No, but the entire claim he is a pedophile was based on the false Epstein story that Aaron Rodgers ran with (and there has been nothing else).

The Epstein story about a connection with Kimmel was false and has been completely debunked by fact checkers https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/no-evidence-epstein-document-mentions-jimmy-kimmel-2024-01-05/ Fact Check: No evidence Epstein document mentions Jimmy Kimmel A set of legal documents from a civil lawsuit related to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, which were released on Jan. 3, contains no mention of comedian Jimmy Kimmel, contrary to online posts sharing an image of a purported excerpt referencing Kimmel. Kimmel has also stated publicly that he had no contact with Epstein, who was arrested on July 6, 2019, and died in a New York jail while being held without bail on sex-trafficking charges. The circulating image visible in a Facebook post, opens new tab shows text resembling a transcript of questions and answers between two unnamed parties about meeting and having sexual relations with Kimmel. The page number 1,375 is visible in a corner of the image. However, neither Kimmel’s name nor the exchange shown in the image appears in the 943-page document set, opens new tab that was unsealed by the Southern District of New York on Jan. 3, 2024. The Guardian newspaper made the full set available online, opens new tab. A search of the documents reveals no mention of Kimmel and the document has no page 1,375. The format of transcripts in the documents also differs from the format seen in the fabricated image, which has been shared by meme, opens new tab pages. In a Jan 2. post, opens new tab on messaging platform X, Kimmel responded to the suggestion made by New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers that Kimmel would be named in the forthcoming documents, saying in part, “for the record, I’ve not met, flown with, visited, or had any contact whatsoever with Epstein, nor will you find my name on any ‘list’.”

He will also be talking to Seafoam...oh, wait...

https://x.com/kylegriffin1/status/1854578371855835559 Breaking: California Gov. Gavin Newsom just called for a legislative special session to be held in Sacramento on Dec. 2, just weeks before Trump takes office, "to safeguard California values and fundamental rights in the face of an incoming Trump administration." It will initially focus on funding state litigation around Trump administration actions that might impact civil liberties, reproductive rights, immigrant protections and climate action in the state. https://nytimes.com/2024/11/07/us/newsom-trump-california.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

When pigs fly.

You're right, it will probably be worse.

Even a broken clock...

Can you say Proud Boys?

https://x.com/latenightercom/status/1854419364189221044 Jimmy Kimmel: "It was a terrible night for everyone who voted against him, and guess what? It was a bad night for everyone who voted for him too. You just don't realize it yet."

This seems somehow apropos:

It is not temporary if he won't leave office in 2028.

There is not a snowball's chance in hell this turns out OK. Our only hope is that he and his minions are as incompetant as they were last time so the damage is minimized. Having an open mind and giving a clean slate to a demented sociopath is a recipe for disaster.

If you think Trump is going to leave The White House in 2028, I got some ocean front property in Arizona I want to sell you. Trump, as long as he is alive, will never leave the office of POTUS. He will find some way to remain in office and the SCOTUS conservative majority will back him.

Vintage Tim Scochet (see PSF).

SCOTUS has given him carte blanche to do what he wants with no penalty. The guard rails from his last term that stopped him will be gone. Read em and weep. It's All Over Now Baby Blue.

You should be.

Not from my Canadian friends on Twitter. They are like "We're glad we're living here and not there" and "What is hell is wrong with you people?"

Calling him a Hitler wannabee with Hitler like aspirations and rhetoric is what got him elected? Okie Dokie Pokie

No it isn't. It's the truth, mark my words.

I was born in California and all my ancestors settled in North Dakota in the 1880's so I should be fine.
