And that’s basically it!
And yet conservatives label liberals as pedophiles...
Edit: tbf we shouldn't label them as such, either.
Every accusation IS a confession when you're so dumb you literally cannot think of fiction. Projection is their thought pattern.
Republican anti-abortion stance is to generate more displaced children for sex trafficking.
Now that sounds like a qanon conspiracy....
I think the reality is that their claimed ideals and actions do not align, and they are a party of projection.
I'm not defending them whatsoever, but your narrative comes off like a looney conspiracy theory the alt-right, qanon, or MAGA radicals would push.
Its not the reason, but its a reason.
Look, if the GOP tossed out the resume of every child molester who wanted an appointment, then they wouldn't be left with anyone.
"who had sex with a minor" if only we hard a term for that...
Read the article. She have him a BJ in a parking lot and allegedly said she was 18. She's so trashy her own mother is defending the cop! They don't mention his age either... Was he 20 at the time or 40? That context makes a huge difference, especially in the eyes of the law. Did you do anything with a 17 yo when you were 18 or 19?
That said, dude running around getting BJs in parking lots from trashy girls (of any age) he just met, getting a job from someone running on a morality platform, is quite the ironic situation.
What’s wrong with the word ”rapist”?
It was in Arkansas. 17 is legal there.
16 is the legal limit! But she was 17.
“Minor”?
I'm no lawyer, but if I understand it correctly, a minor is someone who is not an adult, but the legal age for intercourse can fall before this age.
Like if you're 16 and that's the legal age, you're still a minor. Can't vote, can't buy a pistol or drink, but you can have sex.
That's fucked up but TIL thanks
She has to find a way to one up her dad for promoting Josh Duggar.
Even miners need love, just because he's low-class doesn't mean he should be shunned from positions of authority, why I hear tell we had a dairy farmer as president once, or maybe he just fought like a cow
he had sexual relations as an adult with a 17-year-old girl
The age of consent in Arkansas is 16
The girl’s mother said she suspected that her daughter might have lied about her age to attract male attention, and the mother added that she didn’t want Jones to go to jail over the sexual relationship with her daughter.
Lemmy: Your facts make me uncomfortable and I refuse to read the article. Downvote!
Legality ≠ morality
And what is immoral about this exactly?
Let's just say this: Arkansas
So you don't have an answer then.
No, it's not that I don't have an answer, I just don't have an answer for you, it's not my job to educate you
She’s hoping she’s next, obviously. /s
