The Latest Looloo

Donald Trump flew to South Carolina on Friday to stump for Darline Graham in the Republican Senate primary run-off.

At a Myrtle Beach rally, Trump had something to tell the crowd about transgender people. "In fact, hospitals now are doing reverse surgery at my order," he announced. "They’re doing reverse surgery. Nobody ever heard about it."

There you are. Because the president has demanded it, hospital administrators around the nation are rushing into the streets with butterfly nets to capture trans folks and force them onto the operating table.

It ain't happening. The putz made it up.

The Advocate theorizes that Trump got confused. In settlements, his Justice Department forced two major hospitals to fund voluntary detransition services.

Whether confused or happily lying, Trump aimed for his party's North Star:  transphobic hysterics. As midterms draw nearer, expect him to blame trans people for inflation, soaring gas prices, and earwax.

Tuesday's primaries may feel like ancient history now, but you should know about one candidate who thought calling for the execution of LGBTQ people was a winning strategy.

Jadon MacCormack ran in the Republican primary for a seat in the Connecticut legislature. Along the way, MacCormack said in a radio interview, "I believe that every sodomite is a pervert," and perverts should get the death penalty.

MacCormack noted he doesn't want individuals to take it upon themselves to execute queers. No, the government should be in charge of that. How restrained of him.

Just imagine the 4th of July festivities in the Connecticut capital of Hartford:  parades, concerts, and public hangings.

MacCormack got some votes, but he lost the primary. Since the Christian podcaster also believes Catholicism is a false religion, the Salem witch trials were morally justified, and Israel worships the devil, he should just ditch politics and appoint himself Grand Inquisitor.

Much easier, and a cool title.
