Yet Another GOP Strategist arrested for sex trafficking minors

[Some Schmo]

Apologies for my sloppiness. I made my comment about a fairly long post that was littered with top-level fantastic content (in my opinion) and I did not intend that my comment was a reply to every word in the post.

OK. So you can still say that a post is "spectacular" and so "extremely well done" as to merit a "hat tip" when it contains a vituperative and (I think you agree) quite unjustified denunciation of one poster as "foaming ranting ideological lunatic insane and illogical"?

Maybe you need to be a little less uncritical of Cultellus, don't you think?

Well, Chap, not every word in the post was excellent, just the words that he thought were excellent.

It's kind of like the Bible. It's inspired by god, don'cha know, except for all the words that aren't.

Again, no one on the GOP side here is even willing to consider or question why so many Republicans are getting caught with kiddie porn, sex trafficking, child molestation, etc.

I mean if all things were equal then we'd expect just as many Democrats to be convicted of these same kinds of things.

So why does the most God-awful things seem to be overwhelmingly the case in Right Wing America? And how do our "conservative" participants reconcile this with their so-called party of "family values?"

Ah. Now you’re disinviting me, too. Sorry, but I can’t accommodate you.

It’s indeed amusing that your britches are wrapped up around the idea that I “perpetually antagonize(s) one or more people”, given your first 2000 posts doing just that to a dozen other folks.

But, I understand that you’ve changed now, and want to be taken seriously. That’s great. You can also survive in the midst of opinions and comments that differ from yours, I trust, without going into meltdown after meltdown.

And as for my posting history - it’s all here, all 10 years or so of it, readable by anyone who wishes … unlike yours, which has been subject to “… misrepresent(ing) your posting history and activity on this board to shield yourself and your pals”, by you. Please aspire to attain the standards that you want to impose on others.

I did not disinvite you. And your accusation here and in the previous post is unfounded. This is typical for you to make misleading statements.

Would you like to address the points I brought up, or, are you content to just make accusations and post judgments of a forum member?

I am not a moderator. You are are. We are not subject to the same standards.

You should probably address the points that you brought up, if you want to talk about them. Thus far, all you have done is make accusations and post judgments of a forum member. That, and make up a story about that person manipulating their posting history. : D

Maybe QAnon was right, but they just were focusing on the wrong party.

Earlier in this thread Ceeboo posted a list of Democratic-connected persons whom he claimed to be in the relevant offences category. Is the Republican list longer or more serious, or what?

Perhaps more importantly - are there more or less instances of Republicans criticising relevantly convicted Republicans that there are of Democrats criticising relevantly convicted Democrats?

Bump!

This is such a great freaking post that I thought I would let y'all read it again! (I removed some individual names so there is no distraction - allowing folks to give all of their attention to a fantastic post)

These QAnon Believer Believers are fascinated by pedophilia. If that helps prevent assault and leads to prosecution of pedophiles, great. I hate pedophiles and think that should be a crime that gets capital punishment without lengthy appeals.

By the way, I think that about D. Hastert and thought that when he got arrested and tried and convicted. I am not sure why it took a google search for my sock puppet........ to come around on that, I need to have a conversation with myself to understand that better. Around the same time as the Hastert arrest, I think a prominent republican got popped in a bathroom stall and claimed to have a wide stance while he shat.

Whatever shallow brain it took to start this thread, and believe that it was an indictment of one party over another, could probably benefit from some Vitamin D supplements, sunshine, fresh air and therapy. It is a mask or outright gaslighting or just plain effing stupid ranting rabid ideological BS. Oh, wait, my sock puppet started this thread... let me rephrase that.

The point of this thread was to create a cartoon of the rabid and insane conversations and dialogue that happen - even when the topics are life threatening and serious. Anything can be twisted into an ideological bitshat lunatic rant about the opposition. This is a case where Carville was wrong. If liberals, progressives, moderates or anyone else wants to communicate and lead their party, the country, or a cause, they better get their act together and organize. The first leader that reaches across the aisles of legislatures, school board meetings, union meetings, labor negotiations and health and human services to address real threats, without ranting like ........... - will actually lead.

In the meantime, ........, ..... and ...... have shown us all, once again, why nobody wants to ride in a car with them. Their foaming ranting ideological lunatic insane and illogical reactions are unbalanced, unmoored and unhelpful.

I care about minors. I care about safety. I care about the basic needs of children. I care about health. I do not give one damn about a bunch of lunatic fringe yammering dicks on a message board, or their equivalents in the community. Politicization of the crime (by either side) is not helpful. We need cooperation, not polarization. So ......, ..... and ....., off you ........ Come back when you can have a normal conversation.

What difference does any of that make? You want to find out which political party has more offenders? Then what? WTF!

How about this crazy freaking idea - We all call every offender a POS and we don't care what political party they belong to. How does that sound to you?

Perhaps more importantly - are there more or less instances of Republicans criticising relevantly convicted Republicans that there are of Democrats criticising relevantly convicted Democrats?

Well, there are some interesting statements out there about the subject.

I want capital punishment for sex offenders who assault children. We can continue with trials and juries and an agreed process, I would just like to have them offed within an agreed process.
