But, but, were there any drag queens or questionable books present?
Just the Bible, since it was at a church.
Condones rape and slavery among other glaring issues with it.
The biblical thing to do is make him pay a few silver coins and make the girl marry her rapist.
Seriously.
Hopefully he doesn't get to harm anyone else.
Reading the title I fully expected the words "Matt Gaetz" to follow that first comma
But if the 5 year old was allowed to buy a gun, this would never have happened!
welp, that should do it
I was reading this and thought "Trump is older than 73, isnt he?"
Do some people just see anything and think "how can I shove politics into this?"
Dude, think about other stuff. The world is pretty big
Bringing up other rapists isn't exactly off-topic.
Nowadays, some people's entire identities revolve around politics. Very sad, shallow, simple- minded people.
unlike me! some people made their politics entirely about my identity! do I get a sticker lol
What is bigger than the likely chance that the world's #1 military power will be run by a fascist dictator?
Can you imagine what we'll be like when we don't even pretend to be doing horrible shit "for democracy", and it switches to "because we want to"?
I suspect people see news about an aging rapist and it reminds them of other aging rapists in the news. It's not "shoving politics in" when it's the exact same topic.
It's not unreasonable, trump is a sex offender in his 70s who will soon be in prison
Its a headline bro. They come from the news. The news has politics.
