Honestly, I’d be fine with the death penalty for sexual crimes against children, even just “looking” at that stuff. That doesn’t come up by accident; you gotta be on the dark web and doing all kinds of crazy sht to get there, and your viewing it means people make more of that. It’s horrific.

Annnnnnnnd once again the GOP doesn’t care.

Wow, he got 12 years. Must have been some serious child porn.

Am I the only one who thinks sexual violence against children should be life without parole? Throw away the key. When you’ve made that decision, multiple times, just go die in prison. No one needs you free.

Yes, but his court records don't indicate he actually assaulted a child physically. He bought/downloaded disgusting videos of the actions. Different prosecution standard.

I get that it’s a different prosecution standard. But freaks like him drive the global industry meaning that he’s as guilty as someone who did assault a child physically.

I wonder if Ruben knows Matt?

And every other broadcaster. This is sick and disgusting. So vile. Zero tolerance I don’t care who it is.

The baying dogs of the GOP who seem to be obsessed with New York’s nursing home deaths (newsflash: they don’t actually care) haven’t posted a single time on this thread.

An enormous number of Americans are in the cult of Q and are allegedly obsessed with saving children from pedophiles - a laudable goal, certainly, if the allegations of who is a pedophile didn’t dovetail so nicely with their hatred of Democrats. Here we are seeing evidence of the existence of a pretty large number of GOP people who actually have committed horrific crimes against children, and the GOP goes completely silent.

Seriously? WTF.

I love how McEnany has more to say about Biden than she does about the Senate Republic Conference aide she undoubtedly closely worked with over 4 years.

Republican values.

Another GOP (this one obsessed with Qanon and “save the children”) arrested for child pornography.

Is this guy for real?

I’m not reading this, and I am leaving tweet layers between me and it. The GOP hasn’t said boo about this. He worked for them, furthering their politics. It really sharpens the point that forced birth politics are NOT remotely about “life,” but about controlling women, as clearly this man doesn’t give a flying fig about life.

Of course not- sick people (mainly men and mainly white) of all political and religious persuasions do sh&$%^ and sick things. But you do realize that this plot line is a key tenet of Q - that the Democrats are running a child porn ring. There is zero eve Odense if that - but when hard Cate Republicans get caught doing exactly what they are accusing others of doing, their “projection” looks petty suspect and I wonder how many others are involved. Sick hypocrites.

Of course, it’s extra ironic.

This guy was hardly a big shot, though. The PP claiming there’s some kind of organized GOP mafia is reaching.

It only has to be a big shot for it to matter to you? The guy is hardly some yokel living in Kansas doing campaign flyers for the county clerk. He was the direct liason for the entire Republican Senate Majority during much of Trump's presidency.

On top of that - is the House Page scandal small beans to you? Or do you not remember the fact that the Republican FL-16 Congressional Rep got caught in a sexting scandal with the page boys of his and other offices.

You seem happy to use this to score political points. Personally, I just think it’s sick.

Of course it’s sick. That’s why no one should be accused of it with zero evidence, as the Q Republicans are constantly doing to prominent Democrats and celebrities. That’s the political point people are making.

This. But you’re wasting your breath. PP is a RWNJ who will shriek at you without irony about John Weaver until his fingers cramp. Rs are congenitally unable to talk honestly about their own sex scandals. That PP probably mocked Trump’s accusers. You’re trying to reason with scum. It does not work.

Sorry, you could not be more wrong. Just think viewing this crime through a partisan lens is in really poor taste.

DP. So you look at that list of almost 600 Republicans who have been charged with an assortment of crimes in the constellation of sexual violence against children and think nothing of that?

Really , 600 have been charged and convicted ? Wow

Is there a list of this anywhere and why isn’t this as big of a story as the Catholic Church ?

If they have been convicted it should be a NYT series

There’s a list of this on the first page of this thread. It’s a twitter thread that someone started to keep track of all the GOP who have been charged with (and some some tried and found guilty of; I haven’t read the thread in a while because it’s rage inducing) crimes related to sex crimes against children.

I posted the Twitter thread and it’s not just sexual crimes against children, it’s also against women.
