Covfefeβs for closers.
Reverend John Raymond, who is also a local Republican politician and former Survivor contestant,
he even claimed the students chose to have their mouths taped
Chose that instead of what, a beating?
Cool story, bro.
itβs probably worth repeating the stats:
Most sexual abuse offenders are acquainted with their victims; approximately 30% are relatives of the child , most often brothers, fathers, uncles, or cousins; around 60% are other acquaintances, such as βfriendsβ of the family , babysitters, or neighbors
the average americanβs idea of who commits sex crimes against children is just so amazingly far off base.
conservatives want to blame βoutsidersβ when the only real way to protect children is to empower them with the knowledge that they can talk about this stuff when they feel uncomfortable about or are attacked by otherwise trusted adults
The call is coming from inside the house! (β¦of Representatives)
TL;DR: Creepy-ass Republican grants a teenager a scholarship when heβs in his 40s and the rest is history. And he likely wouldnβt even make the top ten list of creepy sex pests in todayβs GOP.

( on a different note: how does that phrase work? do you have to have two phone lines? or is this strictly a cellphone horror movie phrase? and if so, then isnβt that just βthey are inside the house?β very confusing. )
We could have some fun with the interstate commerce clause, but there are some normal, decent people in that state who shouldnβt have to suffer for our amusement.
By this logic Iβm grooming kids when I explain how magnets work.
I was groomed by my small town library having an old man that taught people how to take apart old electronics and rebuild them and repair them. My parents still claim I βrandomlyβ decided to become an engineer in high school.
Mmm, thatβs good schadenfreude!
One would think a lifetime in the theater would have given Mamet a bit more tolerance of LGBTQ people but I guess not.
Heβs been around women his entire life also.
βWomen,β ha! Empty vessels into which I pour my paranoid insecurities, more like.
Or heβs just doing it because heβs a Trumpkin who rejects and demonizes anything and everything thatβs βDemocrat.β
TBH, heβs the GOP governor who worries me the most when pundits wonder who could replace 45, the Super Callous Fragile Racist Sexist Nazi POTUS (a description from Stephen Colbert).
