This is timely:

A former GOP staffer and Republican National Committee aide who admitted to being part of a ring that traded child pornography involving babies was sentenced Thursday to more than 12-and-a-half years in prison Thursday.

These days Republicans are just obsessed with how Democrats are abusing children. Morally outraged Republicans are passing laws to stop the abomination. During their hearing, GOP Senators insinuated that Justice Jackson was on the side of child molesters.

But, gee. When it gets right down to it, it sure seems like Republicans are ones going to jail for it.
  • Remember Denny Hastert? He was only the Republican Speaker of the House for eight years. And a "serial child molester," in the words of the judge for his case.
  • Then there's the Republican Congressman Mark Foley. His thing was also young boys. And also of course he was also a prominent anti-gay crusader in public. You just knew that was going to be the case, right?
  • Then there's Roy Moore, who liked his children female.
  • And of course Jim Jordan, who as an assistant didn't lift a finger when his boss's fingers were exploring where they shouldn't have been. Such a champion of morality. Such a model of courage. No question about it. He's a Republican, through and through.
  • More recently we have Matt Gaetz who, when he wasn't driving drunk, was allegedly facilitating child sex trafficing. This may explain why he was the only representative in the entire House of Representatives to vote against the Combating Human Trafficking in Commercial Vehicles Act, a bill allocating additional government resources to help combat human trafficking. Later, on June 23, 2021, Gaetz tweeted that the FBI should be defunded while it investigated him for alleged sex trafficking and having sex with a minor. Because...mmm...they're all liberals! Amirite!?!
  • And now we have a former GOP staffer and RNC aid who has admitted to being part of a child pornography ring. That involved babies.
And what are the Republicans all buzzing about? Why, how horrible those deviant Democrats are, of course.

Sometimes you just gotta laugh.

The GQP has sunken to the depths of calling just about anyone who supports LGBTQ rights pedophiles.

Maybe they should clean out their own closet first. Next up, Matt Gaetz and Gym Jordan.

Yikes.

Quote from the article:

According to an affidavit submitted in connection with Verastigui’s arrest, he sought out images of rape of children during an online chat in 2020. Prosecutors said Verastigui also fantasized online about killing children while abusing them.

If republicans were honestly concerned about child porn and pedophiles, all they have to do is look at their own members.

Republican talking heads know they have a problem with pedophiles and child sex traffickers in their party so they do what they have always done with their own sick problems, they lie and accuse democrats of what the republicans are guilty of.

It’s classic textbook projection.

It's pretty well known that child molesters don't do very well in prison. He'll get his, I am sure of it.
Indeed.

Not only that, but almost all criminals are in favour of laws prohibiting thefts or violence against persons.

Yes, even those who are in jail for committing violent crimes and/or crimes involving theft.

"Why is that?"; you may ask. Well it is because they don't like the idea of other people stealing from and/or committing acts of violence against them.

A discovered thief in jail soon learns that the "peer pressure" to desist in such activities is being applied through knuckles.

READ AND THINK

We recently wittnessed Republicans Politicians LYING about Orgies and every time they push their LIE about Child molesters, the news has stories of Right Wing, Conservative Republican Types who have engaged in Child sexual abuse and now even more cases of beastality is being reported. We still see CONSERVATIVE Police still beating and shooting people and trying to cover it. We see Conservative Republicans Trying to Block Education and Ban Books, and attacking people at School Board Meeting. NONE OF THOSE THINGS ARE BEING DONE BY DEMOCRATS.

We see Republican Conservatives, supporting the Barbaric Savagery of Putin and cheering about it with a face of pride in doing so.


2022 Should see
A LANDSLIDE REMOVAL OF REPUBLICAN FROM BOTH THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE, by people standing up to Support American Democracy.

Do not
listen to Media Spin.... GET OUT AND VOTE TO OUST THESE CONFEDERATE REPUBLICANS AND PUT AND END TO THE CIVIL WAR THEY ARE WAGING WITHIN THE INSIDE OF OUR AMERICAN CONGRESS.

Pedofilia is so deeply ingrained and rooted in Right Winger and Republican Networks, they keep trying to deflect attention, but "history has reality records and the records of historical truth can't be changed".

We've heard it millions of time, Preist Molesting Kids, Incest, People Sexing Up Students, all the way to Beastility, to Murdering and Dismembering women, to people killing off the entire family, to kids shooting up other kids in the school, and this is long history certainly includes the Millions of Slaves that were raped, both male, female and children.

These things fall square in the Right Winger-Conservative Ranks. They were the architech's of Slavery, they were the backers that sanctions these acts since the days of the Declaration of Independence. No one kept documented data on the numbers of Indians women that were raped or any of those details of atrocities that were committed.
