Man arrested for child pornography hired to manage children at migrant detention center.

Where are the /pol/ types and Alex Jones fans? After they rose hell about Pizzagate, I thought they cared about the children!

I could say that it's because the /pol/ types and Alex Jones fans only really care about White children, or that they refuse to believe anything negative said about Team R even when it's almost literally slapping them in the face.

I'm willing to wager that the truth is a combination of both, at least in effect. I know /pol/ types are almost universally extremely racist.

The owner of The Bunny Ranch may become a Nevada state legislator - with the backing of evangelicals.

[Beguile's Mistress]

A Storey County, Nevada, brothel owner and real estate investor lobbied congress along with the governor of Nevada and a senator, to change the designation of the county which had previously been considered too high on the income scale to qualify for a distressed classification.

In fairness, he does seem to back the most popular method known to making families. :P

Yeah, the Evangelical voting block makes way more sense when you think of them as using Christianity as an Excuse to do what they already wanted to do instead of them actually using their religious as a guideline for living.

+1 I may not be the best Christian, I may be lustful, prideful, and envious, but at least I'm not as bad as those yahoos.

They are all filthy, disgusting, hypocrites who make everything worse every time they open their mouths. I'm sure if we investigated Jones we would find he was up to something illegal in some fashion.

"We gotta pass FOSTA/SESTA guys! These girls are being enslaved and endlessly raped!"

Sex worker accuses Trump-supporting pimp running for office of raping and choking her.

“We have politicians, they might speak good words, not sleep with prostitutes, be a good neighbor. But by their decisions, they have evil in their heart. Dennis Hof is not like that.”

[TheVillain]

As I recall, we already have. Jones sells "dietary supplements" from his website that have been proven to have shocking amounts of Lead in them.

Not sure if that counted as illegal but it was definitely hilariously awful.

I seem to recall a number of effects that lead toxicity has on people.  If his supporters are buying and using those supplements, it would explain a lot.

Unidentified group attacks US/coalition position in Syria. They were repelled but on one has claimed responsibility for the assault.

Delta bans service Pit Bulls.

I can understand banning birds and monkeys and such, but dogs can be very well trained to behave themselves. And as a Pit Bull owner I can say the bad press about them has more to do with bad owners.

[Sara Nilsson]

So tired of the hate for Pit Bulls, used to be German Sheperds but now no one even bats an eye about that. And it is all unfounded, most pits I meet are the sweetest goofballs you can find.

Sounds like a reason to boycott Delta.

China has been offended yet again :P I wonder how long until they ban parody and comedy all together?

Though I'm pretty sure the real reason they blocked HBO had to do with this.

Oliver also took a serious tone in the show, criticising Xi for the removal of term limits from the Chinese constitution, the use of political re-education camps in the Muslim province of Xinjiang, and a crackdown on civil society. Oliver noted the continued house arrest of Liu Xia, wife of Chinese dissident and nobel laureate Liu Xiaobo who died last year while serving an 11-year prison sentence.

I was totally wondering if JO would get blocked in China because of that episode.

God, im watching it now and some of it is...genuinely rather shocking.

Erdogan wins the Turkish election - actually he claimed to have done so already last night, when at one point he claimed 90% of the votes had been counted while the oposition said only half of them.

Saying that Erdogan is troubling is a serious understatement.  :-(

A junior Thai football team who entered a cave system have been locked inside by flash floods that drowned the entry passages of the extended caves: nothing's been heard from them since Saturday. Thai naval divers are spearheading the efforts to find them and get them out alive. Man, this doesn't look good...  :-(

“People will set aside for a moment their moral beliefs, their religious beliefs, to get somebody that is honest in office,” he said. “Trump is the trailblazer, he is the Christopher Columbus of honest politics.”

Don't the bigots think the religion is the honesty?

I mean, I hope this guy gets elected for the lulz?

The US Supreme Court upholds Trump's travel ban, in its third version. Voting split 5-4 along partisan lines.

In the sense that he's treating honesty like it's made of a genocidal plague, maybe.

Who is it you're quoting, Villain, and from where?

[TheVillain]

Whoever Missy is quoting from. Sorry, I didn't follow the chain back that far.

It was from the article I linked about the Nevada candidate/brothel owner.

Oh, he's not born-again.  Hof (the candidate) makes mention that he doesn't attend church regularly.  (The quote is from the third paragraph below the picture, fourth overall paragraph.)

[Missy]

yes the second quote came from the article, sorry I'll try to make that more clear next time.

I just think it's ironic how shallow bigots really are.
