Trump being outed as a pedophile won’t even remotely shake the support of the religious right.

They already sold their souls on the altar of a golden calf. They’re too proud to admit it.

No they're fanatical. He could be doing it right in front of them and they'll give the "god works through imperfect vessels" line

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 months ago

They built a literal golden idol of trump at CPAC a couple years ago. They've traded God for trump.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago

Golden calf is such a perfect metaphor.

The religious right prefers their leadership to be child molesters. There's like no other conclusion that can be drawn from how they protect priests who do so.

I mean... the Christian church is probably the largest organization of pedophiles.

Its global, it's stuffed to the gills with pedophile priests and pastors etc.

Which one organization could have more than them?

The "grab em by the pussy" guy, the person to proudly boast about being able to look at young girls and publicly talking about his daughter in a sexual manner, just full on fantasizing about her on live television, IS A SERIAL RAPIST?!? Never would have guessed, totally came out of the blue.

Anybody supporting this monster is a blissful moron that doesn't even listen to what their great leader says, or is equally as fucking repulsive.

hateful moron

It bothers me that this article calls Epstein “the disgraced financier” instead of “the human trafficker”.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago

Capitalism must be defended at all costs.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago

Well, it does start out with "containing details of late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s". At least there's that.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Same difference.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

No paycheck is worth glossing over a monster whose crimes are so widely unquestioned.

I reached my daily limit of social media within 15 minutes! Take care, y'all!

[–] [email protected] 45 points 3 months ago (1 children)

And every conservative said "damn, our guy fucks"

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 months ago

And.. "our guy is also the literal second coming of Chirst"

[–] [email protected] 42 points 3 months ago

Hey don't worry, these are just "official acts" and Trump is immune

[–] [email protected] 34 points 3 months ago (5 children)

Okay can y’all start talking about how turnip needs to drop out of the presidential race now?!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

It is not sane people you need to convince. You need to convince the Christofascists that theocracy is bad, the racists that other people are human, and the homophobes that others' relationships aren't harming them. All Repubs are bigots who want a schoolyard bully to make their enemies angry.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Been talking about that since 2016. Talking accomplishes nothing.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

But he's our guy and don't worry he has "The Best People"^tm^

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I love that you called him turnip. Seriously. Don't change a thing.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Right so this is pretty interesting and I’m actually a bit surprised nobody else has picked up on this, because not only does it work with the name, it also works with the hair. Turnip. That’s a fact bud.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

That's it! I'm never calling him something other than what he is: turnip!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

My family calls mashed rutabaga "turnips", and they're orange AF. That's where my mind went first.

[–] timbuck2themoon 2 points 3 months ago

Yep. There should be two weeks worth of articles at least stating as such.

Media should also question every Republican and ask if they support him staying in the race.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

We'll never know a tenth of what this spoiled, entitled overgrown child has done. What we know is appalling enough

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

liked her ‘pert nipples’,

What does this mean?
