From Reddit
As a community with an interest in providing the best resources to its members, the following wiki links are provided as historical reference until we can establish our own.
π°
Rich and powerful men are allowed to abuse children as they see fit. Even this much we're lucky to get
But 9 and a half years on probation. That's a long time not to be able to leave the state without permission and to have to take random piss tests.
That's some joke I'm missing? /S?
Money
KidFucker in Chief mote it be
If he got off that easy there must have been a kid around
Just another photo of trump adjacent to a criminal.
And still no drag Queens harming the kids, but again a church person.
I only see criminals in this picture
TRANSITION TO
GREATNESS
Lurking in the background really pulls the whole thing together
And Trump next to another pedophile.
Just another photo of a criminal sitting next to a pedophile
I'll leave it up to the reader to discern which is which
They are both criminals and both pedophiles. You can't trick me!
It could be 100% of his friends and associates and the fascists would deny it
I automatically assume all hyper religious public figures are either pedophiles, are with a group that turns out to have a history of abuse, or are covering for pedos.
Guilty until proven innocent
Why are we not talking about how this child predator fuck is only going to serve 6 months of a 10 year sentence?
Always the ones you most suspect.
Oh good. I don't have to worry about Dolly Parton, or Mr Rodgers.
I feel like my world view would be crushed if I ever saw a legitimate claim against either of them.
I had a βChristianβ ask me why I donβt rape and kill people if I donβt believe in godβ¦..I said βbecause I donβt want to to do anything like that and if this world is the only world wouldnβt I want to make it as good as possible starting with my own actionsβ I think about that conversation a lot lately and it is deeply concerning
I had a flipped conversation. Working IT, late at a client's office, the secretary (we knew each other well enough) stated that without the Bible we couldn't know right from wrong.
"Um, I don't need religion to tell me rape and murder is wrong. Do you? I mean, think on that, did you have to be told?"
I'm sure I got a bit of that wrong, but that was the gist of it, and it was that short. She sat back in her chair and stared at me a minute. One of those oh-so-rare times in life when you hit someone with a brand new thought. Love to see it, love to experience it!
I like Penn Gillette's response to this question which is just as good:
"I've raped and killed all the people I've wanted to."
You mean a Child Rapist had Direct Access to the Republican Party which is ACTIVELY SHUTTING DOWN THE GOVERNMENT TO PROTECT JEFFREY EPSTEIN AND HIS CHILD RAPING ASSOCIATES? What a weird Coincidence! Anyways DEMONRATS are Raping Children in Pizza Parlors!
My copy of the surprised Pikachu meme is broken.
Meanwhile my unfazed Pikachu meme is working perfectly
I am very positively surprised that the prosecutors in Oklahoma didn't let this drop. The temptation might have been huge: the statute of limitations had long expired and they revived the case with an old law that pauses the clock on the statute.
This guy is still trying to get his huge pension back. After ruining a child's life.
The statute of limitations didnβt expire, which is detailed in the article. He left the state so the statute of limitations freezes
What are the odds on Drumpf stepping in?
How do you think they celebrated Trump hiring Morris.
Gateway to pedophilia.
Gateway to childhood trauma.
And ofc the Pedo-in-Chief protects his own ilk (until he needs to trash them to make himself look good or to keep himself out of trouble)
Was this the one that said it happened a long time ago and everyone prayed about it? I didn't realize he had the largest church in America.
I'm shocked.
Well, not that shocked.
No. Not at all.
If pedophile denial in Churches were a stock, I'd short it.
Pedos all the way down
Always has been
I believe in the family
With my ever-loving wife beside me
But she don't know about my girlfriend
Or the man I met last night
-Genesis, Jesus He Knows Me
Christians sure like diddling kids.
Why does he look like a character Dave Chappelle is playing on Chappelle's show lol
Because Chappelle was playing a caricature of the "trustworthy white man". Nailed it.
It's so well known and pervasive I can ask my conservative 'friend' "what do you think the founder of Gateway just pleaded guilty to?" And with no prior knowledge he knows what he did and can become defensive.
I almost wanted to do a switch too and tell him he actually pleaded guilty of fraud.
ah, another one
Very curious that statistics don't seem to matter when it comes to white men sexually abusing children, or gun violence
These cases all just blend together. At this point you should just expect these types to be abusive and you'll be right more often than your own. I guess he'll have to go on the list, Part 57
