Yeah, doing this often makes me sick to my stomach even though I try to stop reading when they get to the details. It's enough to know what they are charged with without the vomitous detail.

So you will not allow independent thinking?

So it's going to require opinion writers to follow the party line, no independent thinkers allowed?

This is my favorite hate-read at The Atlantic. This guy...didn't discover police brutality and murder until cops murdered a white guy. Then, yup, then he could see the cops were out of line.

I'm working on 1462, a pastor arrested for possession, distribution, and creation of CSAM (AI) and looked at his church site. This is their page for the ministry to men.
I know I am stereotyping, but a church doing its ministry at a gun range sounds like one where you would find predators.

Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.

So this study is from 2021 and it seems to confirm what most of know from seeing it happen in our lives. Democrats are less likely to support a candidate accused of sexual assault/harassment while Republicans are more likely to think the accuser is lying.

MTG supported executing Democrats in 2019. 2 Kansas state reps "welcomed" a newly elected Dem by discussing shooting him. on&on

So Jay Jones should withdraw because that kind of rhetoric is bad for the country. However, Rep. John Gillette called for Pramila Jayapal to be executed. Umpteen Republican electeds mocked Paul Pelosi. The president's failson posted a picture of a hammer and underwear. Gosar posted memes of violence

Legal insurrection. The President is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, not an Oregon judge. Portland and Oregon law enforcement, at the direction of local leaders, have refused to aid ICE officers facing relentless terrorist assault and threats to life. (There are more local law enforcement officers in Oregon than there are guns and badges in the FBI nationwide). This is an organized terrorist attack on the federal government and its officers, and the deployment of troops is an absolute necessity to defend our personnel, our laws, our government, public order and the Republic itself.
