And Let's not forget about the other Deplorables

Nor would it be a surprise that there's a segment of their fan base breathing a sigh of relief that the victims of the abuse weren't male.

*That we know of. I doubt it stopped at just the girls.

Everyone knows that Jim Bob never pulled out so I wonder how many abortions we’re performed in the Duggar home.

This is true.

Evangelical pastor. Texas. Sexual abuse of a child. Again.

Limestone County pastor James Lawson sentenced to life in prison for child sexual abuse

A Limestone County jury convicted James Lawson, 62, of Continuous Sexual Abuse of a Young Child.

The now former pastor of Apostolic Life Church in Kosse, Texas, on Wednesday was sentenced to life in prison after a jury found him guilty of repeatedly sexually abusing a young relative over the course of several years.

On Feb. 27, 2026, a Limestone County jury convicted James Lawson, 62, of Continuous Sexual Abuse of a Young Child, Indecency with a Child by Contact, and Indecency with a Child by Exposure...

During the trial, jurors heard testimony from the primary victim, who is related to Lawson. She described how, between the ages of 4 and 12, she visited Lawson and his wife in their home.

She testified that Lawson took her for rides on a four‑wheeler and rubbed her genital area, reached under her shirt and squeezed her breast, touched her genitals while she was in bed and while she sat on his lap under a blanket watching television, and changed clothes in front of her and, on at least one occasion, went skinny dipping with her.

This should probably be a thread with a poll, "Senator Story Time or Drag Queen Story Time?".

It never ceases to make me laugh:

I cannot believe this was not right out there at the time of his appointment or his time terrorizing communities.

I think we know why he was removed before this blew up... From FB:

"... Bovino claims he's Native American, AND that brown people are "scum". Read that again. You can't make this stuff up.
Greg Bovino, the ousted former Border Patrol head, was just hit with a stunning ugly revelation, coming from his own mouth.
In recently released testimony from a 2018 discrimination lawsuit against DHS, Bovino admitted he referred to undocumented Latino migrants as "scum," "filth," and "trash."
At the same time, Bovino also identified himself as Native American and as Cherokee, even though he admitted he was not registered on any official tribal rolls.
All of this was from the SAME HEARING. Let that sink in.
This alone tells you exactly who this man is. He claims he is a man from a vulnerable population, and then dehumanizes those same people to raise his own personal status.

From Google:

• Antisemitic Remarks Investigation: In January 2026, reports emerged that Bovino was the subject of a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) internal probe following allegations that he made antisemitic remarks, including ridiculing a U.S. Attorney for observing Shabbat.
• Use of Force and Lying Under Oath: A federal judge in Chicago found that Bovino "lied multiple times" under oath regarding his actions during a protest, specifically concerning a claim that he was hit by a rock before deploying tear gas on demonstrators.
• Violent Tactics and Misconduct: Reports indicate that Bovino oversaw operations involving the excessive use of force, including the use of tear gas on demonstrators in Minneapolis. In a 2025 incident, he was accused of shoving a man to the ground, with reports alleging a pattern of aggressive behavior.
• Admitted to Using Slurs: According to testimony, Bovino admitted in a legal deposition to referring to undocumented migrants as "scum," "filth," and "trash".
• 
  
• Reassignment and Controversy: Following these controversies and testimony, reports in early 2026 indicated that Bovino was reassigned to a administrative position at headquarters. He has been described by critics as a key figure in aggressive federal immigration crackdowns.

I’m sure he got boned up reading those words.

I’m sure he got boned up reading those words.

To be honest, when I see Sen John Kennedy, I picture either a menopausal lesbian or a character from a play called "Greater Tuna" that was on HBO in the 1980s.

I’m sure he got boned up reading those words.

He seems to take more than normal delight in reading sexual scenes aloud in the Senate Hearings. Because of the performance value.

But it doesn't make him look like a puritanical crusader.

It makes him look like stupid.

Every person could read a passage and comment. But he wants these literally read into the record.

And to intimidate and embarrass the people appearing before Committee.
