Am I the only person who'd like to see these sick Catholic fucks actually punished, rather than just sued & fined? Just taking back the tax-free money the bead-rattlers steal from their sucker-ass chump congregants while they rape their children doesn't seem like quite enough to this reporter. Are there no priests being raped in jail, as Gawd intended?Los Angeles Times:

Pharyngula on farming fools & rural retards:Seriously, how fucking small are their country boy weiners that it's all about trucks, tractors, guns, and motorcycles? (No "rocketships"?) And how undeveloped & immature are their teeny-tiny brains?Anyway, this is the Trump cult in full flower out here in the rural Midwest. It’s all tangled up in agrarian fantasies, religion, and trucks, tractors, guns, and motorcycles. Good luck rooting it out.

Appointment In Coachella
Shouldn't that be "get" home safely, Sheriff? Oh, never fucking mind. You're just as stupid & senile as your idol Trump. Reckless comments from irresponsible national politicians who are fucking losers is more like it. Up yours, "Chad".Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump will bring his campaign to Coachella Saturday with a rally at Calhoun Ranch.The rally is planned for 5 p.m. Saturday at the ranch, 52995 Calhoun St.
[...]
Coachella Mayor Steven Hernandez released a statement Monday afternoon unfavorably comparing Trump’s planned rally to a 2020 primary campaign event held by Sen. Bernie Sanders, whom he said the city was “proud to welcome.”
“Trump’s attacks on immigrants, women, the LQBTQ community and the most vulnerable among us don’t align with the values of our community,” Hernandez said. “He has consistently expressed disdain for the type of diversity that helps define Coachella. We don’t know why Trump is visiting near Coachella, but we know he wasn’t invited by the people who live here. He ain’t like us.”
Rep. Raul Ruiz, D-Indio, whose district includes the rally site, echoed Hernandez’s sentiment in another statement Monday, calling the rally “yet another demonstration of his cluelessness and ignorance” and Trump himself “an affront to everything that makes the Coachella Valley a vibrant community.”
Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, an ardent Trump supporter, will be among the conservative figures in attendance at the rally. According to the Desert Sun, Bianco said he was not planning on speaking at the event, but would if asked.
He also criticized the comments from Ruiz and Hernandez.
“Reckless comments from irresponsible local politicians certainly do not help our mission and quite frankly are embarrassing for Riverside County,” Bianco said in his own statement. “I will be there to ensure the former President and attendees go home safely.”
