Do a search for "pedophile pastor", "pedophile priest" or "pedophile preacher" and you will find page after page after page of sexual crimes against children.... To lighten the mood do an image search for golf cheat and count all the american presidents you see.
But remember:
Trans women in bathrooms are what you should be afraid/angry about!
How many of those are associated with Trump?
There are large numbers of pastors, priests, and teachers. Even if we expect pedophilia to be no more common in these professions than others, due to their proximity to children such crimes will be common. So I don't think the takeaway from this kind of google search should be that such professions are especially pedophilic.
It's not the profession that's the problem, but there is evidence that problem people gravitate to such professions where they have that position of power.
I agree, but I don't think a google search for "teacher pedophile" should change your opinion one way or the other.
In the south we have an idiom "Birds of a feather flock together", which means people tend to associate with others of similar morals, ethics, beliefs. So, needless to say, I'm hardly surprised. Trump associate and pastor? There was almost no chance this filth was anything BUT a pedophile.
In the north we have a saying "don't leave your kids alone with a pastor". It isn't catchy, but it's good advice nonetheless
Here in the east we have a saying "Epstein didn't kill himself".
Nah! Its probably just one more coincidence, don't you think?
I've seen a bunch of movies where the cop asks people the same question and they point to a guy, the same guy. Those shows are fun. Because of the coincidences. Am I right?
Worry not: Trump can pardon him if he's ever convicted!
Whew. Here I was worried that the rich and powerful would be held accountable for their crimes.
He is a pastor after all. Never trust your kids with one.
My mom's pastor was accused of being sexual towards a woman. The whole thing sounded a bit sketch, so I'm not entirely convinced he did anything. But given the reputation of religious leaders inalso wouldnt be surprised.
My mom defended him by saying he "showed his chaplains ID for the police department." As if him being thr chaplain that goes in and attempts to convert inmates makes him a good person. It sounded more like a flex, like he was saying "try pursuing this, I have friends in high places."
Clemishire’s disclosure came as the Dallas religious community was still reeling from a handful of recent sex abuse scandals. Since then, at least a dozen Dallas-area churches or pastors have been accused of committing or concealing sexual misconduct — allegations that have ensnared some of the area’s most prominent leaders and institutions.
Is Dallas a sanctuary city for paedophiles? 'Cause it sure looks like it from here.
No, the entire south is just where they all flee, since they can claim they are being "persecuted for my belief in GAWD" and the religious idiots just never question it. Despite the fact that they are a member of the most popular cult in the world, and the defacto religion of the US... Then when they start doing the same thing down south, the community will rally around their religious leader instead of kicking them out. Religion is a cancer.
the Dallas religious community was still reeling
Religious communities never "reel" from anything. At most they just forget (temporarily) about their kid-diddling pastor and move on to next absurdly-coiffed dude. And then the first one comes back crying and is forgiven.
How many times does this have to happen until people figure out it's not a coincidence?
For MAGA? I don't think there is a number.
Google megaplex
I'm guessing he'll be granted a presidential pardon soon. They're making america a haven for rapists, paedos etc. Andrew Tate too pimp manipulator extraordinare. I remember arguing about him with a maga who assured me he'd never be allowed back into america. Probably decided Tate is innocent by now though.
Tate doesn't need a pardon, though. Just needs to never go back to Romania.
There are charges against him in the US and UK too, or soon will be. The guy travelled the world abusing women, bragging about it and telling young men how to do the same (for a fee). His father was a narcissist, and as we say in england, the apple didn't fall far from the tree.
Reminder not a drag queen or immigrant…
Nor trans, nor democrat.
Not even a pagan or anarchist
This sounds like a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta.
Another creep that hangs out with Epstein's best friend? Not surprising.
Isn’t she flying helicopters in New Hampshire?
