    So this guy faced 8 counts, with a maximum sentence of 10 years each. He pled guilty to 2 counts in exchange for getting the other six dropped. he’s gonna go for some psych evaluation, maybe spend some time in jail, maybe not. He left his cushy gig, but I’m sure in a few months he will go on a public speaking tour about how repentant he is, the board will talk about how God always gives second chances, and he’ll get back pretty much everything.

    Meanwhile, there are immigrants who are being tossed out of the country by this administration for much more minor offenses committed 10 or 20 years ago (which they already paid the price for). They have been following all the rules since then, and now we decide we don’t want them here anymore, and they lose everything they built here.

    I think our values are all out of whack here.

I’ve always assumed that was because he wanted to clean up his life to be a better dad. He stopped drinking but he found plenty of people to fight in his own house …

      It’s still surprising because we still allow these conservatives near children

    Conservative Christianity is the most glaring sign that someone is likely a pedophile. I’m not surprised in the slightest.

    at this point I’m just waiting for that Australian org that’s currently making a stink about porn games to be revealed to be run by a bunch of pedos.
