OT: American Politics

if a guy gets shot and dies of blood loss, hard to blame the gun, or even the bullet.

blame the teachers, sure.

blame the blood loss, sure.

blame the non-cop first responders for being too slow, sure.

At some point, Republicans realized that their supporters were the same brainless idiots who were getting fleeced on a weekly basis by televangelists like Jimmy Swaggart, Jim Bakker, Ernest Aingley, Oral Roberts, Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell. So the first thing they did was invite them into the tent so they could learn how to do it. Now these evangelists are part-preachers and part-politicians while politicians are part-preachers. This is where the so-called "prosperity gospel" came from; the blending of neocon economics, rapacious capitalism and fundamentalist Christianity into one, humongous, all-encompassing, non-stop grift.

Agreed...once you establish a direct connection to God and vilify an enemy as the cause of all suffering (Falwell had satanists, the GOP has unAmerican socialists), you will get an army of devotees who will believe in you regardless of your own personal faults and frequent failings.

Care for the child is considered Paramount... So She should press the Stat rape charge. and Then he's a felon... (IIRC) then she can use that against him and probably regain custody and get child support back..

Still a WTF result..

But realistically, all bets are already off. Trying to convince Ms. Wayward to endorse a NZ escape plan once the fascists take over and want our land/water/freedom...

Apparently she reported it to police and it was never investigated. His company has some police ties...
