But do be sure to read the replies:
After 3 years of swallowing the outrages, scandals, and crimes of Donald Trump, many conservatives are sore and swollen from the accumulation of blocked moral indignation. That vast dropsy had to be discharged upon something – and apparently Netflix's "Cuties" is to be it it.

David Frum is to conservatism as Netflix’s Cuties is to wholesome family entertainment. Poor Mr. Frum. Spent 8 years of the Obama administration and the first term of Trump, struggling for a tiny morsel of relevance.
So David Frum loves the cuties? … and he swallows? Is that what he’s saying?
Is that actually what he’s saying here…?
Well then…
How are President Donald J. Trump’s numbers doing? I hear there’s an election campaign with about 7 weeks to go…
We’ll know soon enough how the President’s support has done since the Russia Russia Russia revelations were shown to be fiction, all made up, and lies.
I do not understand what Mr, Frum was saying. It’s like he is speaking in code to a few ‘in the know’ pals leaving the rest of us standing around in bovine fashion nodding as though know what he’s talking about.
So what is he talking about …. Anyone …. Anyone …. Moo ….
I felt the same. Is Covid19 a brain disease??
I agree that swallows, soar and swollen, accumulation, blockage, dropsy and discharge are very strange things to accidentally work into a scold around sexual exploitation of children. Sounds more like freudian slips.
Wonder if he’s on the Epstein flight list.
David Frum needs to meet DCI Gene Hunt.

Apparently the only thing David Frum reads is Bill Kristols twitter feed.
Frum has boxed himself into a position where his pathological hatred of Trump has consigned him to an audience of very few conservatives and some center-left progressives and where his reward is likely being on the Democrat cocktail circuit as a humorless court jester.
He also gets an invitation onto TVO’s The Agenda but that is about it, seeing as how he suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Pathological hatred is exactly right. I used to like Frum, but now I think he has completely lost the plot. Either that, or someone pays him to spew venom on Trump and his supporters.
Do you remember his mother Barbara Frum? She was a socialist anchor at CBC for quite some time. She was fun to watch … very bright, but was a large leftist … so that’s where David Frum comes from.
I think he is a more less a socialist/conservative …. So there are his two sides … like the good Lazarus trapped in eternal battle with his bad other self …. in a parallel universe gateway …. as Kirk hits warp to get the hell away from that scene because it gets old really quickly.
Yeah, ayatollah, the one that busted some Americans, was her best friend, talked to him and promoted him, while still in Paris.
You know all the socialist aristocrats love Paris in spring.
Frum is a featured Atlantic writer. Enough said. Whatever the Jobs widow pays him to write.
Best Comment of all … “OK Groomer”
That is actually hilarious, I love how witty people are!
Frum is just a Token. Like Jen Ruben and David Brooks the Marxists keep him around as some sort of mascot. Or perhaps just a weird curiosity.
Well I needed a good laugh today. Just when I think I can’t see anymore mental midget contortions to get to Orange Man Bad along come Frum.
Best response by far was “#OKGroomer”
I liked the nasty van that had “Free Candy” written on the side.
Mr. Frum’s comment is so idiotic and asinine, no response is warranted.
Who is FRUM?
Where’s he Frum?
Remember when Frum used to pretend he was a Conservative? You know, five years ago?
Agree with above, best comment of the thread was “#OkGroomer”.
There is a big thick solid line-barrier between free speech and child exploitation.
There is no ambiguity.
If you’re on the wrong side its because you’re a POS.
Such a tiny mind and stunted intellect. I have no need to say more.
Wow….so being offended by Cuties is a “conservative” thing, is it? God help us. You mean that objecting to sexualizing 11 year old girls on film is not something that we can all agree on, regardless of our political leanings? Are we to believe that somehow only right-wing whackos oppose pedo-friendly Netflix movies?
Those who are defending the movie are truly painting themselves into a corner. But that is no surprise; we already know that many progressives are twisted.
The people defending cuties are the same people who gave admitted child rapist Roman Polanski an Oscar and a standing ovation. Of course Roman wasn’t there, he’s living his best life in France to avoid prison time in California.
Why are we surprised?
I think Frum suffers from the delusion that he ever did, does or will matter.
His mother would be so ashamed of him.
Poor Frum, not getting the wars in the Middle East as easily as he did under Bush. Zionist Trotskyite piece of shit.
“Zionist Trotskyite” Now there’s an oxymoron.
Yeah, that’s the real explanation.
This is what we call in Canada a CBC conservative
Sorry, Frum, but there are valid grounds for concern over this movie. It’s not just paleoconservatives yearning for the Eisenhower era.
The Twitter thread itself is just a pile of delusional hate and vast distortions. These people are a combination of stupid, deranged, and evil, not necessarily in that order.
It’s still hard to understand, how otherwise seemingly sane rational people turn into squawking hyenas with the mention of TRUMPs name
Just about the time I think I’ve been too harsh toward him, Frum again doubles down on stupidity.
They truly have all moved to Bizarro World.
I never trusted him. He was spawned and raised in the bosom of the CBC cesspit.
To think he once spoke at a CIVITAS conference in Ottawa. He has a hate on for Trump, and finds the left-wing talk-circuit money a lot greener too.
Crimes? Please be specific Mr. Frum. Oh and I know you must be aware of the fact that when Trump returns to civilian life in a little over four years you can’t continue that kind of slander or you will be sued “ hugely “.
dear god D.F. stop tweeting your useless polarizing hate screed
He’s an ass, just like his mommy.
One question for Mr Frumb … are you bitter?
Frum is a relic of the past, he just doesn’t know it yet. What we’re witnessing here is the death rattle of an ugly, neo con and conscienceless Jew who doesn’t have a problem sending young men and women in uniform to their deaths in pointless, idiotic wars in god forsaken moonscapes… and for what? Well, no one knows exactly, rest assured it won’t be his kids. Check his investment portfolio…it’ll tell you all you need to know.
He knows full well a Trump win in November will mean the end to his relevance.
Interesting as well that he chose the “Cuties” hill to die ion. Fng Ponce.
I have come to realize that David Frum keeps using the term conservative but doesn’t really understand what it means.
Just shows you where Canadian Conservatives are on the establishment/people specturm.
He never was a genuine conservative. He goes both ways. And, apparently, not just in politics.
Is this guy supposed to be relevant?
I he like, Barbara Frum’s husband or something”
Her son. Her little shit, as Frank magazine still calls him.
“many conservatives are sore”
Who isn’t these days ?
So, progressive-leaning Netflix cuts a deal with the Obamas to help create edgy new woke progressive entertainment, then they release Cuties, and when there’s an upwelling of disgust at this pro-pedo exploitation flick, somehow it’s all supposed to be Trump’s fault? WTF?
Frum ought acknowledge that all the “scandals” were invented by Democrats.
Please, Mr. Frum! Please, Liberals! Please don’t make this a campaign issue! I don’t think Trump could survive the “Trump and his supporters are too much against kiddie porn, unlike the more understanding smart-set Dems” line of attack.
