I wonder too if whatever church they go to are playing a huge factor here. Many fundie churches teach ‘Christian patriarchy’ - wives are to submit to husbands in all things. And, Christians must forgive - so long as daddy does some kind of claim of “Jayzuz healed me”, all the women in his family will be required by…

That’s horrible! So far as I can tell from other articles I’ve seen about this case, it sounds like the victim is in a foster family (I hope she is safe & getting therapy) but it is not clear if the sons have been removed too or are still with that idiot mother.

Sadly a lot of religious people are so deep into magical thinking, they refuse to accept that fetuses can die, that there are stillbirths, or that there are birth defects so dire that the infants will only live minutes or hours after birth. They want to bank on a deity granting shiny miracles.

That’s what I think - Trump always ‘trades in’ his wives when they get ‘too old’. He’ll find some one else out there foolish enough to marry is awful self, and it’ll be Bye Melania!

Anyone started a betting pool yet for how long after the election Melania & Trump get divorced?

So...what are the odds “Bushy” is gonna end up on Faux Nooz? I’m sure he’d fit right in with Steve Douchey. (ick)

Haha - I’ve wondered that myself - are these women suffering from a serious case of self-hatred? So far as I can tell from their ‘twit’ accounts they are die hard right wing Christians - a flavor of Christianity that holds women in great contempt. These days it is super common for fundie churches to be teaching…

Gross. Looks like there might even be a handful of women tweeting ‘repeal the 19th’ (and i assume they are not all Ann Coulter) - do those twits have any idea what ‘repeal the 19th’ even means?

Oh for the love of nonexistent gods, really? It is not too difficult to figure out. That monster she killed was an abusive hellbeast who made the lives of their mom, and her, fucking miserable and of course she feared him. The only time she likely figured she could put him down like the motherfucking rabid dog he was…

I’ve listened to Paul Haggis interviews, and what he has to say is very interesting. My impression is that pre OT3, a lot of Co$ is a sort of faux-psychology talking therapy - people focusing on issues they are unhappy about it, talking about aspects of themselves and has happened or is happening in their lives - some…

I hear Tom Cruise is at OT7 - just one step away from the top most level a $cilon can reach, OT8

Yeah, first they have to reach ‘Clear’, then go thru the OT (Operating Thetan) levels. The ‘big reveal’ of thetans (spirits from spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace) and Xenu and all that hacktastic wharbgarble is at OTIII. A lot of $cilons never get that far.

That is all too often true. There seems to be an extra layer of “WTF?” with Natives (the whole Lamanite thing) and against black people, who until the Great Revelation of 1978 weren’t allowed to be priests in the LDS church. To be fair, there are many other Christian sects who have taught, or still teach, that black…

Pretty much all the people in the west (most of the west is arid and can’t support intense exploitation, but that doesn’t stop greedy jerks) who oppose federal land ownership (mostly BLM and USFS management) are white Republicans. White Republicans do not support Native American control of lands - not of resources,…

I am not surprised. But it makes me furious. There are some people who have gone so far down the rabbit hole of paranoid fantasies and od’ing on Alex Jones that they think EVERY thing is a damn conspiracy. If these morons thought about it, Sandy Hook was far more gruesome, and if that didn’t change gun laws or take…

There are a lot of articles out there, but a bit thin on details. Some are reporting the dad was convicted of domestic violence at some point in time. It has been widely reported that the murderer had been bullied in school, took a weapon (most reports I’ve seen say hatchet, one said knife) to school and got expelled…

And the idiot mommy who gave the 14 year old a gun (so one Buzzfeed commenter who lives near Townville & knows the family said, anyway). Even tho’ she must have known he was troubled - bullied, expelled from school for bringing a weapon to school, troubled enough he yelled ‘I hate my life’ when he began shooting.

I was reading articles about this yesterday. The teen is indeed white - as everyone guessed already anyway.

Update - they caught him last night. ID’d as Arcan Cetin, just turned 20 last month. From looking at his fb page before it got removed, he and his mom came from Ardana Turkey, when he was very young. His mother married a conservative American white man in 2003. Many of his former classmates say he harrassed girls…

I hope he’s not Native. Natives face plenty of angry racist hostility as it is - we’re all drunks, welfare moochers, casino rich, blah blah blah blah. This would add fuel to the racist fire. (Also, per your average Teahadist, we aren’t really “Native” either - Indians are immigrants, too! It does not matter that our…
