The Christian charity toward sex pests is truly boundless
- These aren't Christians, these are wolves in sheep's clothing.
  
  Institutionalized religion always works to protect itself. Christianity is no exception.
  
  These are Christians. You don't get to distance yourself from them just because they actually read your holy book, and not just the red words.
  
  No. If that were true, then it would mean that there are good Christians out there, but that is simply not the case.
Are you fucking kidding me? We've got to have some reprieve against this absolute madness. What you can't be held accountable you fucks? I'm sick of this already and he hasn't even taken office.
- If recent history is the template, to be unaccountable you must be:
  white
  male
  rich
  racist
  misogynistic
  ...if you aren't all of these then I'm sorry, the rules of accountability apply to you.
  In a small win for Progressives, with the power wielded by Peter Thiel to swing elections and public policy, one attribute was removed from the above list:
  heterosexual
  
  no. that was 10 years ago. that is a child's view now. trump is stacking every single fucking federal agency, health, defense, intelligence, finance, with morons who will run them all into the ground. his goal is chaos. there will be only 2 kind of people left in the united states in a few years : the very rich, and the dying.
  
  Oh, and right wing. Rabidly right wing.
- it. is. the. end. of. everything. you. thought. america. was. everything.
  
  I mean after reading Blackshirts and the Reds it kinda seems like we've always been a little bit fascist. What is really going on is fascism is a simple tool of capitalism. Since we are all in on capitalism, theres a lot of similarities between us and even Nazi Germany when it comes to social issues and the economy, I mean shit I'm pretty sure we still got Migrant camps right now and Trump is not in office yet.
LOL.
You mean the report that shows Trump's AG pick is a pedophile? That report?
More proof Republicans have, and will continue to fight for, and protect pedophiles.
- eeeew! (this is the factorial of disgust)
Republican supporters will believe a demonic child sex cult is in a pizza parlour but won’t believe they voted one into office who is then protecting countless others
- It's projection. Always projection with that bunch.
- Even when we have the actual venmo receipts for it.
And he's doing that for reasons of principle, and family values and rule of law and so on, amirite?
Right?
Much ethics all around /s
Well of course he did.
Fucking coward
OK whatever, why hasn't anyone charged him after the initial investigation? I know you can get away with fucking high schoolers because of Christianity, but paying for sex is still a no-no in most jurisdictions right?
- There are problems with the case. The girl turned into a porn strar and is not a good witness. Another witness was found guilty of fraud and theft.
  
  That’s not the reason, though. Imperfect witnesses are quite often at the heart of criminal cases – co-conspirators, jailhouse informants, etc. If that was an obstacle, no mobsters or drug lords would ever have been convicted.
  The real reason is cronyism and political privilege.
MAGA wants this from Johnson.
