Donald Trump continued his assault on the other parties involved in a fraud case that could result in the dissolution of his company in New York on Monday.
… as well as for having promoted a “Drag Story Hour read-a-thon.”
I have no idea what this is in reference to, but how dare they … checks notes … encourage reading??
Chutkan needs to rule on the gag order motion. Can she have such a motion apply to inflammatory statements about any case that Trump is currently involved in, or only the one in the DC Circuit?
It’s one of the pet conservative conspiracy/culture war issues right now. They’re claiming that drag performance is synonymous with burlesque or stripping, and thus having people in drag in the same zip code as minors is sexual abuse. It’s part of their assault in trans rights, as they’re equating drag with trans people, and saying that being trans is inherently sexual. It’s all a load of bullshit.
Exactly. What drag queen story hours is really: “A guy dressed as a princess reads a fairy tale book to little kids. The kids enjoy the ‘princess’ reading the story to them.”
What conservatives imagine it to be: “A guy dressed as a woman does a strip tease while reading The Joy of Sex. Meanwhile, images from a XXX movie flash in the background as the kids’ minds are warped.”

Encouraging people to read might make them smarter, which would lead to less votes for Republicans - therein lies the grave sin of reading!
