Wholeheartedly agree. The Church has been devoid of the moral high ground for a long time. They know how much it will cost them if it all came out. Ireland was a good example, with their response to the child abuse scandals and the Magdalene Laundries. A lot of people were rightfully pissed off

Probably also best not to mention the Magdalene Laundries to them.

I’m sorry you went through that. I’m dealing with elderly relatives with similar views. The willful ignorance is really eating at me today in light of all these new disclosures. 

I always wondered why my dad, a lifelong Catholic, didn’t raise us in the Church. Elder brother and I were baptized but my little sister was not. We never went to Mass or catechism, even though my mother converted as was the requirement back then. I never got to ask him why before he died, but he did go back after he…

I too am a Catholic school survivor, although at the parochial high school I attended, it was the lay teachers who did the molesting (at least those are the ones we heard about, anyway). That’s not including student-on-student sexual harassment that I among many other had to endure. Once, about two years ago, they…

Right?! Misogyny, rape, and violence toward women ARE NOT BECAUSE OF FUCKING BLUE BALLS. Getting laid doesn’t magically turn men into nice guys! IT IS NOT SEX WORKERS’ JOBS TO MAGICALLY DEFUSE DANGEROUS MEN. Jesus fucking Christ.

Christ, she is the fucking poster child for the term Upperclass Twit. You knew it when she pulled that nugget about protecting schools from bears during her confirmation panel.

Uh, yeah, except your “correct” reading is still fucking ridiculous.

Don’t forget “I won’t actually do MY job, but I’m damn good at funneling money to my husband Mitch’s state” Sec of Transportation Chao

She is referring to “popular sovereignty,” which was the idea that new states should be allowed to decide for themselves whether to be a slave state or a free state. This came to a head in Kansas where Southerners would temporarily truck in new “residents” to bolster the pro-slavery numbers when it was on the ballot,…

Which, incidentally, is a pre requisite for being hired for the Trump administration.  “Will you do lasting damage”?  and “Will you make us dumber for having listened to you”?

It baffles my rage filled soul but I actually hate her more than Rancid Dump. The one fucking defense we have against the tyranny of stupidity is education and she (and them) is hellbent on making sure we keep Muricans dumb and republican.

uh-uh, not more than I do ...

whoa up now pardner ... that kinda logic almost seems like common sense, which is anything but common in Betsy’s circle of folks

There are so many rich idiots in this country. How on earth do dip shits buy into the concept of meritocracy when these are its representatives?

ha ha ha no, don’t expect rights to work both ways. Rights are only for the people they want to have rights. Don’t be silly. 

This is one of those things that an attorney like Clinton is first going to be annoyed with and then going to enjoy, since she’s got fun options, especially since this got filed in New York rather than Hawaii.

I think the Russians Gabbard might pull votes away from the democratic nominee as a third party candidate IF Sanders doesn’t win the nomination, Those Bernie or Busters are insane.

If the Gabbard lawsuit is in any way successful Hillary Clinton is about to become the richest woman who ever lived because apparently she can sue for cash damages every public figure who uttered a potentially unproven accusation against her from Benghazi to attacking the Clinton Foundation to Uranium One to all the…

And best of luck convincing anyone that you would have won but for HRC’s vague comments on a podcast. Talk about the Streisand effect.
