Former President of Drag Queen Story Hour Foundation and Children’s Court Judge Arrested on Seven Counts of Child Porn. LINK

A Milwaukee County Children’s Court judge and former president and CEO of the Cream City Foundation, which runs the city’s drag queen story hour program, has been arrested on seven counts of child pornography.
Brett Blomme, 38, was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly uploading 27 images and videos of children being sexually abused on the messaging app Kik.

This guy was just elected last summer - I actually voted for him.  It was a close call between Blomme and his opponent.  Both had some pros/cons but Blomme had a really impressive list of local endorsements which I trusted. Obviously all of those folks feel betrayed now.  New judges are typically assignednged to Children's court for their fist shift.

The problem I have with this post - apart from just generally not understanding why it is posted to begin with - is the reference to the drag queen thing.  I am sure some small minded people will tie this guy's homosexuality to this crime as @NorvilleBarnes is doing here, which strikes me as loathsome, ignorant, worthy of contempt.

Not too smart uploading it to his judge chamber computers.

Like my wife always says "You never know what goes on behind closed doors"

Also keeping us abreast of  gay superheroes

Weird schtick

 
Predilection to cross dressing doesn't immunize a drag queen against other predilections.

Being lawerly smaht doesn't inure a judge from deviant thoughts .

Being straight doesn't prevent a heterosexual from abhorrent behavior.

It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world

I did no such thing, sorry. I'm not bothered by the homosexuality in the least, but by the child porn. This thread isn't a personal attack on you (I hope).

 
I know there are many people on this board who support the ACLU. For those of you who do, do you draw the line with their support for having child porn or do you support that as well?

 
It now appears this entire Drag Queen Story Hour Foundation angle to this is completely made up by people trying to push the agenda that gay people = pedos.  Its been retweeted by Q lunatics like Boebert and Trump Jr. and reposted all over by other hateful trolls as was done here.

Wait...made up? Says who?  You?

Shocker!!!

Congrats. You have as many threads on the front page as timschochet. Maybe that can be a reflection point.

You used to be funny. 

As for your topic, good luck finding someone here who supports child porn.

This is the ACLU's position on possession of child pornography:

https://www.acluaz.org/sites/default/files/documents/Tough Questions about ACLU Positions.pdf
 

4. Why does the ACLU support pornography? Why are you in favor of child porn?

The ACLU does not support pornography. But we do oppose virtually all forms of censorship. Possessing books or films should not make one a criminal. Once society starts censoring “bad” ideas, it becomes very difficult to draw the line. Your idea of what is offensive may be a lot different from your neighbor’s. In fact, the ACLU does take a very purist approach in opposing censorship. Our policy is that possessing even pornographic material about children should not itself be a crime. The way to deal with this issue is to prosecute the makers of child pornography for exploiting minors.
While I understand their reasoning about censorship, I don't agree with their position as I doubt that the prosecution of the makers of child pornography is a realistic approach to ending this problem.

According to his LinkedIn page, Blomme was the president and CEO of the Cream City Foundation from July 2017 until August 2020, leaving that post when he was elected to serve as circuit court judge. Cream City Foundation is a Milwaukee-based LGBTQ advocacy nonprofit organization. Cream City Foundation acted as a fiscal sponsor to DQSH’s Milwaukee chapter.

This is how you know snopes is biased. 

If you go to the wayback machine and look up creamcityfoundation.org/dqsh you will see that DQSH was listed on their website under programs and that you could donate money right there on their site. 
Yes - This is reported in the Snopes story.  The obvious problem with the linked story is where it claims Blomme is the "Former President of Drag Queen Story Hour Foundation" which is false.

Thank you. This is what I was referring to when I said I agree with some ACLU position but draw the line at "their support for having child porn".

Correct. Its a false story motivated by ignorance.

It's not a false story. The story is true. He was arrested for child porn. He's a judge for children's court. He was head of Cream City Foundation. They sponsored Drag Queen Story Hour. ACLU supports possession of child porn.

But he is not the Former Pres of Drag Queen Story Hour Foundation as is claimed in the thread title. 

You need to change the false and misleading thread title. 

 
Yes - This is reported in the Snopes story.  The obvious problem with the linked story is where it claims Blomme is the "Former President of Drag Queen Story Hour Foundation" which is false.
It isnt really reported in the snopes story. That headline is definitely bad and should be corrected, but Cream City clearly was quite intertwined with DQSH and was the parent org. 

If this was a story from the other side they would definitely label it differently. Probably would slap a needs context label on it.

I took the title from the linked article.  When I make my own title for clarity (e.g., MI election violations thread) people complain that my title was MISLEADING! Now I simply use the title in the linked article.

What title do you suggest?

Anything that doesn't state or imply that he is the Former Pres of Drag Queen Story Hour Foundation.

I don't what was the intent of the title you took, but it suggests a connection between drag queens and child pornography. And somehow I doubt we would have seen a thread started in this forum if he had been a former president of The Rotarians.

The text below first line is fine. Just take the DQSH stuff out of title and first line and put in cream city foundation.

It is not the parent org.  This is like saying the president of the local United Way is the CEO of the Milwaukee Opera.

I don't even know "what side" this is a story about ..... ####ty child molesters have one political affiliation?

 
Correct. Its a false story motivated by ignorance.
If the facts were flipped around, snoopes would have rated it as partially true.  
Flipped around how?  I'm dumbfounded by this entire thing.

Here's the context.  When it is discovered that large numbers of Catholic priests are pedophiles who were protected by the church, that puts a big black eye on the Catholic church and its leaders.  When a Milwaukee judge is found to have child porn, does that similarly disparage any entity he has been associated with in the past?  Obviously that is the intent here - to tie a gay organization to these deplorable acts and suggest they are somehow related.

*******

Looks like NorvilleBarnes ported over the direct headline from the Gateway Pundit.

What are your options here?

Push for removal of thread topics where direct headline titles are ported over universally?

Push for the removal of all material coming from the Gateway Pundit? ( If so, based on the links above, you'll also watch MSN, Twitchy and Fox News go under as well. )

If you want to go after thread titles, you'll have to go after Gateway Pundit, which means to stop what you don't like hearing, there would need to be a standard set on what is an acceptable source and thread titles, and MSN (forwarding through a Washington Examiner article), Twitchy ( a Twitter aggregator) and Fox News just fell under that same standard. If Fox News goes, at some point, you'll have the potential narrative that FBG will not allow Fox News on the site. What about Fox Sports? Do Sigmund Bloom and Cecil Lammey have some kind of relationship with Fox Sports in some fashion via their podcast or other work?  I know they have Fox's Brian Baldinger on as a guest sometimes. Will that punish them for something that has nothing to do with them?

I don't know who you sleep with or not or your personal life, and I'm not asking. I'm a big believer there is plenty to like and respect or dislike and despise about a human being long before you get to race, age, gender, sexual preference, religious affiliation and on and on and on. Take someone who is never on time. People who don't respect your time, don't respect you. Does it matter how they dress or who they vote for or who they sleep with at night? Someone who doesn't respect your time is a ########. They are ######## if they just happen to be heterosexual. They are a ######## if they just happen to be LBGT.

They are coming to the defense of a liberal organization. 

Had AOC said something about a guy that was president of Cream City GOP that was the "fiscal sponsor" of Bring Your Bible to School Day and worded it the same way Snopes would fall all oer themselves to give it a mixture or partially true.

The text below is fine. Just take the DQSH stuff out of title and put in cream city foundation. 
Why is this fine? What is the purpose? What are the "sides" you've identified are involved in this - the pro-pedos and the anti-pedos?

 
CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS

You have a right to your feelings and free speech, but let's look at the facts.

Is Brett Bloome, still as of today, an elected judge in Branch 5 of the Milwaukee County Circuit Court in Wisconsin? Yes.

Was Bloome's judicial role as Children's Court judge in Wisconsin? Yes

Was Bloome arrested (and currently removed from his official posting/bench)? Yes

What was Bloome arrested for and regarding what crimes?  Seven counts of child pornography possession

Was Bloome the "former" CEO and "President" of Cream City Foundation? Yes

What was Cream City Foundations relationship with Drag Queen Story Hour? (I.E. what was the pathway of Bloome's previous involvement with DQSH through his CEO role at CCF? )

https://creamcityfoundation.org/dqsh/

Well Cream City Foundation literally scrubbed everything. ( Link above)

But it is archived here -

https://archive.is/krLuW

It appears DQSH are organized at the local level through independently operated chapters, one of which was Cream City Foundation

https://dailycaller.com/2021/03/18/drag-queen-story-hour-lgtbq-milwaukee/

Did Bloome formerly run a specific DQSH as an independently operated chapter via Cream City Foundation?  Yes. ( Why else would CCF try to scrub everything otherwise)

https://www.dragqueenstoryhour.org/

https://www.dragqueenstoryhour.org/#organize

It appears DQSH's website says anyone can organize an independently operated chapter.

I guess your argument could be Cassandra Fairbanks of Gateway Pundit could have made a clearer distinction on how independently operated chapters are organized and that Bloome, as of what everyone knows in the general public as of today ( but that could change in the future), is not President within DQSH itself.

It's your free speech. If you want to see Fox News, Twitchy and MSN go down with the ship with Gateway Pundit over that distinction, that's entirely up to you. I have a hard time understanding how Fox News can potentially get turfed here while FBG as a brand maintains a relationship with Fox Sports in some fashion, but again, that might be a consequence of your free speech.

Here's some food for thought. Years ago, maybe a decade or more, I pointed out in the FFA that the two biggest groups of racists and bigots in the world are

1) Parents

2) Homeowners

Everyone can be pretty liberal, right up to the point where it's living next door and it's near their children. Then you'd be surprised, or not surprised, at how ruthless and seemingly intolerant things can become. Every kid deserves a second chance! But what if a parent thinks that wayward kid is a bad influence on their own son or daughter?

Bloome is accused of using his position of trust to harm children. You are now delving into the range of not just what you think might be bigots, but possibly one of the largest groups of overall bigotry possible - Parents.

Your free speech says NorvilleBarnes is pushing an anti-LBGT agenda

The potential free speech of some parents here might be you are pushing a pro-LBGT agenda at all costs, to the point of splitting hairs, even in defense of a possible child molester.

There are two sides to this coin. The cost here isn't just freight for NorvilleBarnes, it's also weight to be carried by you as well.

 
Why is this fine? What is the purpose? What are the "sides" you've identified are involved in this - the pro-pedos and the anti-pedos?
Because it would be true then? 

If the norm was to never mention employers or organizations I would actually support that. But that isnt the norm. 

 
Flipped around how?  I'm dumbfounded by this entire thing.

Here's the context.  When it is discovered that large numbers of Catholic priests are pedophiles who were protected by the church, that puts a big black eye on the Catholic church and its leaders.  When a Milwaukee judge is found to have child porn, does that similarly disparage any entity he has been associated with in the past?  Obviously that is the intent here - to tie a gay organization to these deplorable acts and suggest they are somehow related.
We can just go to the Atlanta shooting.  We have news organizations across the country reporting it as a racially motivated crime driven by Trump anti-cbjna rhetoric.  There is zero evidence to back the claim but Snoopes isn't calling it out as 'false, Google is not banning accounts for linking to the story and Twitter is not freezing accounts.
