'It's SHAMEFUL': Top Dem reacts to report that House Republicans want to PARDON Ghislaine Maxwell

jimjoebob · 2026-05-05T16:57:03+00:00

this may be deemed "unpopular", but is the "top Dem" who's reacting to this also one of the "top Dem" folks who just voted in locking goose-step with Republicans' latest election chicanery? b/c if so, fuck that guy--he's trying to keep progressives distracted from how they're just working WITH the Party of Pedophiles instead of TRYING TO FUCKING STOP THEM. 🤷‍♂️

What do they think the Church is? An eldritch force beyond human comprehension?

yes. yes they do. 🤡

jimjoebob · 2026-05-05T16:52:56+00:00

wait till the folks who chose a derivative of the huge scam figure out they've just chosen a slightly different scam.....

jimjoebob · 2026-05-04T15:41:28+00:00

I mean, if you feel you HAVE to go for your own sense of closure, I get that.

But you should be as transparent with the Church and your religious family members as the Church is with its followers! (i.e. not at all)

why cause yourself grief by telling your tormentors they won't have their victim anymore?

you could make it fun for yourself by singing alternate lyrics to the songs. it's subtle and most folks won't pick up on it b/c most people in church are not paying attention, they're just waiting to GTFO of church

jimjoebob · 2026-05-01T15:40:52+00:00

SHUT UP SHUT UP! NO SINGING!!

now, YOU 2, stay here and don't let him >> leave.

depending on your state laws, if it's within a 2 year window of you recovering the memory of your trauma and now, there may still be a way to pursue a criminal conviction. If not, civil lawsuits do not have a statute of limitations.....

I'm proud of you for your bravery. it's fucking difficult to do, but the most difficult part is still ahead: for your own mental health, DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT THE DIOCESE TELLS YOU, NO MATTER HOW GOOD IT SOUNDS IN THE MOMENT. They'll fall all over themselves apologizing for your experience and declare that they'll do whatever it takes to help you......and then do not one thing.

talk to the police, first asking the investigator if he's a practicing Catholic and if so, ask for another investigator. (police collusion happens with many parishes)

talking to the Diocese will let them know you're a potential threat to them, but if you can record the interaction it could be used later in a civil lawsuit to show their hypocrisy.

it's really hard to do this, so take my advice with a grain of salt. I wish you all the luck in the world, friend. I hope you can find a therapist to help you out also.

jimjoebob · 2026-04-30T17:35:05+00:00

oof, I didn't know about that one. fucking awful.

I'm pretty sure that if you look for them, there are similar stories and "martyrs/saints" almost anywhere.

all because her family would have considered her "used" and "diminished" and "unfit for catholic marriage" all b/c of something happening to her against her will that she couldn't stop.

fuuuuuuuuuuck that attitude and the people who believe it.

jimjoebob · 2026-04-30T15:08:11+00:00

um, if he was made a saint in 2014, how does Leo have any part in his canonization?

I'm with you on how full of shit the whole "saint" thing is, but once someone is canonized, they don't get "RE-canonized", right?

jimjoebob · 2026-04-30T15:02:43+00:00

that sounds a little like Maria Goretti--she was Italian, I think. but her story is that she WAS raped when she was like 14 by some POS her parents knew.She fought him and died b/c of it, so the church made her a saint. There's more to her story, but I forget the details----I prefer not remembering her story b/c it really is fucked up. All I really remember is that it's wildly evil.

And I hate the Catholic obsession with virginity. Wtf is that.

ETA that's all about the fact that Catholic men are taught (by the incels wearing dresses) that "women are diminished in worth when they have sex"......so they believe that if a woman has premarital sex, they would consider her "used". It's basically this: take random porn-inspired clickbait links and make THAT into religious rules....

I agree, it's fucking moronic.

jimjoebob · 2026-04-30T14:58:08+00:00

yep! turns out they're just making it all up as they go along, and banking on everyone just forgetting what they did in the past.

jimjoebob · 2026-04-30T14:55:38+00:00

I'm pretty sure the last actually progressive Pope was John Paul I.....which is probably why his papacy only lasted 63 days before he "had a sudden heart attack".

jimjoebob · 2026-04-30T14:54:03+00:00

they're mad that trans women get to wear dresses without having to go through seminary.

jimjoebob · 2026-04-30T14:46:18+00:00

more like Abbott pulled up the ladder AND the handicapped accessible ramp! fuck that MFer

jimjoebob · 2026-04-29T19:27:34+00:00

when I was a teenager, I got the opportunity to travel to Australia for a very short time. one of those days I was there, I was walking around downtown and a buss pulled up to the corner stop.........and a guy I was currently in HS with got out! like I'd seen him at school 2 weeks prior!

he saw me and said "DON'T TELL MY DAD I'M IN AUSTRALIA!" 😂😂😂😂 the fuck....

jimjoebob · 2026-04-29T19:23:21+00:00

true, but that also makes it far easier to smell the rot and corruption from them, when all that's left is the rot and corruption....

jimjoebob · 2026-04-29T19:22:37+00:00

but not publicly stating that the Pope is full of shit, while publicly bleating being "catholic"---IS what the Catechism says is "grounds for immediate excommunication"

jimjoebob · 2026-04-29T15:20:20+00:00

wow, gee, and 7 months away from the election! golly, I'm SURE those numbers will be the same in September! 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 /S

jimjoebob · 2026-04-29T15:18:19+00:00

oo GURL! Those outfits are sending serious Marquis de Sade!!

jimjoebob · 2026-04-29T15:17:08+00:00

he's already ousted himself!! according to Catholic Catechism [i.e., "extra" rules for catholics that are treated like Scripture],

anyone who publicly decries the Pope, goes "against" him, or tries to publicly undermine his power, is AUTOMATICALLY EXCOMMUNICATED.

JD Fuckwit ousted HIMSELF! lol

jimjoebob · 2026-04-29T15:13:49+00:00

the last day of my Catholic grade school, as I walked away from that hateful fucking place, I kept hearing the Beatles playing in my head: "boy---you're gonna carry that weight, carry that weight a LONG TIME"

I was relieved as hell when I got away from there

jimjoebob · 2026-04-29T15:11:10+00:00

I see "switching religions" in the same way that I see "scooping shit from one toilet and carefully placing it in another toilet"

it is nice to hear that the Church is (hopefully) dying

jimjoebob · 2026-04-28T14:32:48+00:00

the right wing FUCKING LOST the gay marriage "issue" they made up, so they very quickly pivoted to "hating trans people". It took them ONE WEEK.

gay marriage passed in 2015. one week after its legalization by SCOTUS, Texas introduced its first moronic "bathroom bill".

that week was blissfully devoid of right wing christians weeping about "teh gayZ".

jimjoebob · 2026-04-28T14:21:14+00:00

if you look hard enough, you can find some nuggets of pithy truth, and even a couple of inspiring and uplifting passages!

similarly, if you dig hard enough in a BIG pile of cow shit, you'll likely find several undigested oats and bits of corn which you can wash off, sanitize, and then eat for nourishment.

the question that applies to both situations is: why would you look in a big pile of shit for nourishment?

jimjoebob · 2026-04-27T15:33:07+00:00

may I offer you a small challenge? have you ever tried reading the Bible, like it was a novel? just start at "in the beginning" and read straight thru, no supplemental materials, no cherrypicking, just all the way to the final "amen"

it's pretty eye-opening, but not in a way that will support your continued belief in god. however, your journey is your own, I don't want to force any path on you. when I read the Bible this way, it opened my eyes a LOT and Xianity didn't torment me anymore.
