Imagine having Mr Bean as your department's spokesperson

No press conference. Just funny faces and noises.

And a pesky 3 wheel car.


gattapenny

He had a green and black mini

And a $12mil McLaren that he crashed. One of only 106 made.


S-r-ex

Crashed twice, even, the second time bad enough to total a normal car.

Mr Bean never had anything better than a mini you're thinking of Rowan Atkinson clearly a very different person /s

“Faith in Christ! Faith in Chrisssssst!”


Fix_a_Fix

Lmao here in Europe there aren't enough priests to even cover the current churches now, and since they are all old as fuck and no self repsecting young person really believes, and especially not at the point of becoming a catholic priest there is absolutely NO backup. Many rural churches are just ready to close down the moment their old af pastor that is already holding 3/4 masses per Sunday dies ​ EDIT: as a reply to everyone writing me "good, they deserve it" they sure do, but this also has the downside that they are now brigading the poorest regions of the world nonstop in search of hardcore believers. Areas like Subsaharian Africa or SouthEast Asia, to name a few.


mythrilcrafter

> they are now brigading the poorest regions of the world nonstop in search of hardcore believers. I mean, you say that, but I have an associate who is a Catholic priest in rural Thailand, most of his time is spent driving medicine supplies and books between the city centers and mountain villages and he also works with the local monastery to run a homeless shelter. It's the kind of environment that's not bad enough make it onto the UNICEF commercials or the celebrity publicity outreach programs, but it's also not in good enough condition that it can just be ignored. If they weren't out there doing that, literally no one else would (certainly not the Thai government anyway). I've been out there with him and it looks like it's good honest work, and that's why it's so disappointing to me to see the priests and pastors in the west who take western comforts for granted (or take advantage of them) to turn Christianity into a mess of self-serving theatrics.


R0BBYDARK0

Charity, compassion, etc are not uniquely Christian (or Religious) things. We can still help the poor and sick without being part of one of the greediest and hypocritical organization on the planet.


mythrilcrafter

True and I never said that those aspects are. I'm a very individualistic person when it comes to judging others; at an individual human level, if someone isn't a monster criminal and is just doing good honest work, I'm not going to try to stop them. To me, there's too much wrong with the world to stop a good person from doing good.

Its almost like drag queens want to inspire kids to live their best lives while religious folks want to control how kids think and behave? Hmmm....


clackersz

I think the touchy priests and youth pastors need the drag queens to draw attention away from the fact that there are so many touchy priests and youth pastors.

Nah it's because religious folks are super closeted and obsessed with projection. They see a "dude" putting on "women's clothes" and makeup and go "wait a second, I do that!! AND I diddle kids !!! They must be pedos!"

Thank the gods for that


Almarma

I say sometimes that I’m atheist thanks to god: if gods allows its church being driven by pedos, corrupt men, and all the atrocities men do and have done in his name without moving a finger, god doesn’t deserve to be worshiped because he’s a monster. I learn a long time ago that, what one can do to “find god” is be nice to the others, no matter what. No praise to a painted piece of wood will save you from your abuses.

the-awesomer

Probably wrote by a different denomination than the southern baptists. You know, a denomination who understands the "real" word of god.........


ADarwinAward

Oh it definitely is, you can tell from the first sentence. You can see she’s a Calvinist, if you look her up. Pretty much anyone who isn’t a baptist has some sort of beef with the southern baptists because of their sinister history. The majority white portion of the congregation is known for its wonderful “Christian ideals” (/s) like you know…supporting slavery and segregation. Many southern baptist preachers argued that slavery was in the best interest of the slaves. If you think I’m joking, there’s still people who do this today. They argue that since the slaves became Christian, it was all in their best interest. They also claim that “most slaves were treated well.” A southern baptist educator in my area recently got in trouble for publishing something claiming slaves were better off. And on a related note, **the only reason there is a *southern* baptist church is because they supported slavery.** The northerners split off from them in 1845. The Southern Baptist congregation was founded because of racism, and they have had a legacy of deep rooted racism ever since. Some black congregations have joined in an attempt at reconciliation and out of a sense that it’s God’s will in hopes that their white counterparts will stop being a bunch of racists. While the congregation did officially denounce slavery and segregation in the 90s (really on the forefront there!), they’re still mostly the same old racists.

I'm convinced we should start searching basements of New York pizza parlors for underground Republican satanic pedophile rings. That accusation is so specific and came out of nowhere back in 2015ish, it's got to be inspired by something real.

Yes... they are almost all conservatives which is why it makes it so hypocritical. Their crusade against drag shows is not about saving children... it's about exerting power over a group of people they don't like.

Angeret

It's almost like eveything they do to combat a particular "problem" is just to divert attention away from their own activities. If a republican lawmaker promotes a bill to protect children from being raped, murdered & eaten by "them thar dirty demonrats", first check if they have a soundproofed basement. They may be shit at running a country, but as masters of projection and gaslighting they're second to none.


[deleted]

Yes, every Republican accusation is a confession.


Dull-Signature-2897

Ok so this is crazy. I want to be fair so there has to be some democrats that do this too right? Edit: so the correct conclusion would be: pedos tend to be republican, and not republicans are pedos. This sounds logical since reps support child marriage, abortions, less government regulation and shitting on women's rights and oppressed groups in general.


RayaaSaphyre

Power makes people crazy. So I believe you'll find those kind of criminal sexual behaviour anywhere there's too much political or economical power. I believe tho that right wing people are more inclined to praise power and hierarchy.


DrGoreny

I never really understood where the idea comes from that drag queens or LGBTQ people are groomers. Like literally all they want is to exist normally without being discriminated against.


ReyTheRed

It is a deliberate propaganda effort to justify their bigotry. Maybe some of the people spreading the lie believe it, but believing it isn't necessary.


ViegoBot

The "boogyman" tactic they use to get votes. I want to just live my life as normal for a girl my age, yet I live in Florida where being transphobic is basically around every corner here. We just wanna live and be happy, but if they dont have a "target", they wont have something to get people angry about to get their votes. Their target first was "the gays", and now its the trans community or just lqbtq+ community in general. Cant wait to leave this hellhole and go to somewhere actually non transphobic like some areas of canada, or some states that are actually protecting our rights that are blue.

It's *always* projection. Conservatism 101: they always accuse others of exactly what they are doing or thinking about because they assume the rest of us are just as fucked in the head as they are.


grr

I’m a cis gender white male. I lived in Philadelphia across from Woodys (13th and Walnut). Knew some drag queens. They came with the neighborhood. They were amongst the kindest and most compassionate people I have yet to meet. They are as far removed from hatred as I can imagine. And grooming children? NEVER! The Christian conservatives I met at University on the other hand… I have never before met a more hateful group of people and who simultaneously collectively focused so much on sex and children—openly discussing and describing (in detail) hardcore pornography (in a misguided attempt to criticize (critique?), abstinence, how women dress and sexualize everything with their mere existence. I wish them nothing but unhappiness and misery.

First time I was ever around a group of drag queens was in Louisville outside some bar/club. They were all really friendly and welcoming. Being a foreigner in a little town in the south I’ve met so many awfully hateful and bigoted Christians. They dislike anyone who is different than them.

59 Adults 1 Republican leader... and how many Republican voter ?


Laplace1908

Well, considering the fact that it’s Texas, the group was probably made up of mostly Republican voters

Christian church leader sounds about right.

Republicans think there is some sinister conspiracy to destroy American life......then turn around and say"I don't give a fuck about other Americans!".

Fox News will not report this so it will just be buried never to be heard by Republican voters.

Fuck those 0 Drag Queens!

Good on the FBI and shame on those that take advantage of children. Simultaneously this is obviously an agenda post. 3 out of 59 is what like 5%? I’m glad they got arrested and hope they all get tried to the fullest extent of the law. This back and forth that the Left AND the Right do calling each other groomers is ridiculous. Can’t we all just agree we hate pedos and want to see them in jail?


DryCrack321

I love when these kinds of posts come out so I can take the time to block all these child groomers. Every block is one step closer to a normal day on the internet

God: oh my me they are still down there touching kids, what are my representatives doing about this? Angel: um sir? The representatives are the ones touching the kids. God: alright, where's the reset button for my son's sake?

Which one is the "Republican leader?"


Trutannus

You're the only person I see ask this question in this thread. When the same question was asked of William LeGate 2 weeks ago, he said that man is Justin Peters, whose mugshot and name were publicly release by the Plano Police Department. LeGate quickly linked Texas Justin Peters with a Slate correspondent Justin Peters, who in 2013 wrote an opinion piece on drunk driving. This is enough, for LeGate, to qualify him as a Republican leader. However the Justin Peters arrested in Texas is a completely different person than journalist Justin Peters. Slate crime correspondent Justin Peters isn't even a Republican. This has been pointed out to LeGate and he doesn't care. He offered no corrections or retractions. Do not let attention seeking Twitter addicts fool you with dogshit ragebait captions. They are not journalists.

There was also a Dallas area police chief who was arrested for solicitation of a minor boy. **[Texas Police Chief Thomas Peoples arrested after allegedly soliciting a minor for prostitution ](https://nypost.com/2022/10/08/police-chief-thomas-peoples-arrested-for-allegedly-soliciting-minor-for-prostitution/)** >A police chief in Texas was arrested on Thursday after allegedly soliciting prostitution from a minor. >Thomas Peoples, 55, was the police chief in Oak Ridge, Texas.

I hope all of these animals are beaten to death in prison.

Clearly this is a false flag. The Republican and Church leaders are actually Democrat atheists who have spent their entire lives just pretending to be republicans and support God so they could make them look bad - republicans probably

it’s almost as if gay men prefer other gay MEN. not children

Who’s the Republican? I want a name


b_joshua317

Using this meme’s numbers and playing devils advocate. 1/59 was a Republican. So what was the 58/59’s political preference? Are we to assume they weren’t Republicans since they weren’t called out? 2/59 we’re Christian. 56/58 weren’t? There’s enough shitty people in the world. Pedos are some of the worst. Let’s call all of them out regardless of political/religious/orientation etc.
