Im asking all my #QAnons to ignore this #GOPPedoRing video by @MeidasTouch and do what Gym Jordan would do when informed about rampant sexual abuse: LOOK THE OTHER WAY! Thank you.

If youre wondering why the @GOP was so comfortable making an incest-joking, teen-pageant abusing, serial sexual predator like Donald Trump their spiritual leader you havent been paying attention.

I did hear someone defend Roy Moore's past behavior with, "girls marry young down here". I know one thing. I'm in Idaho and back in the 70's, a creep in his thirties hitting on the girls would have gotten the shit beat out of him by the high school boys or some dads. No doubt about it.

I posted here a couple months ago that we should start calling these Qanons pedophiles because criminals always like to point in the other direction to distract from what they are doing. People were not too keen on the idea but ...... well now.

Its the one of trump with Ivanka when she was just a kid.
But it makes my skin crawl. She is next to him in the back seat of a limo, and he has her in that Jeffrey Epstein style elbow around the neck me tarzan you jane pose. He is kissing her on the head.
How do I insert a picture here from my photos on an ipad?? I took a screen shot of the picture when I discovered it on the internet.
OK, found the picture on this website. I love how they also show the same image doctored to turn Ivanka into Jeffrey.
But the one with Ivanka looks like the real deal to me.

Oddly, I remember when Mitt Romney voted yes to impeach Trump (was it only #1 or both?).
When he took questions in front of the press, I remember he seemed almost fearful. I wonder if he was threatened about his vote.
Putin has people killed for less.

(11,541 posts)Sadly, theres no legal punishment severe enough given his life of endless crime, especially his crimes against women and children.

(4,552 posts)Solution.
How about Chauvin gets convicted for Manslaughter one (I know, NOT likely at all), and Trump gets convicted of some nifty fraud stuff.
Then in a perfect world (although not real life due to where they would be confined according to our current judicial system), they get to be cell mates.
Oh, I would be infinitely happy.

(25,927 posts)Back in the 1st decade of the new millennium, a blogger called 'The Armchair Subversive' had a webpage compiling the quite numerous sex crimes committed by repugs up till then. If ever a project needed to be put front and center in the American psyche, it's drawing attention to the pattern - now spanning decades - of sex crimes committed by so-called 'family values' conservatives. The Meidas Touch has the right idea here, but there's so much material with which to work. Give the people more!

Don't forget, some abuse is learned, generational behavior. If victims believe that the abuse is normal and happens to everyone, they will do the same thing to the next generation. so, unfortunately, voters who live with abuse, who haven't realized it is abuse, think the perverted behavior is normal and thus okay.
But people who are elected to public office, and people who gain positions of power have ample opportunity to be enlightened about abuse and have absolutely no excuse to perpetuate abuse ever. Except it satisfies their lust for power.
All of us who understand that abuse isn't normal just have to keep saying it isn't normal or acceptable. We never know if our words are going to open a window or a door.
