Reminder: Charles Manson never kill anyone himself (that we know of), but was convicted of murdering Sharon Tate and others in 1969. He instigated members of his cult to commit the murders in order to start a race war, which thankfully did not happen. trump is guilty of treason, and murder, even though he didn't storm the Capitol himself on J6, or killed anyone that day or in 2020 during the pandemic. He instigated members of his cult to storm the Capitol and to kill Speaker Pelosi and VP Pence, but while unsuccessful, they did kill. Before that, due to his mishandling of the Covid pandemic, millions of Americans died needlessly. He's a traitor and a murderer. Shame of the organizers of the Al Smith dinner inviting him and yukking it up with him, and his cruel attempts at humor. Good for the VP not attending. It was more important for her to be in Wisconsin. As for the NYT, and it's hacks, they are a lost cause.

I was just lamenting on Pervert Justice that people don't have a sense of history when it comes to trans people. Mention trans folk and suddenly the topic is so frighteningly out of the public's comfort zone that they refuse to connect us and our issues with anything that has come before, however obviously related.

The same seems true of the Catholic Church and its history of abetting rape. Timothy Dolan is not free of the taint of enabling rapists' access to victims, and one would think that the man going on to hire a rapist as the entertainment for his charity ball would draw many condemnations of this obvious sign that neither Dolan nor the RCC has learned the necessary lessons from the Spotlight shined on their history of grotesque sexual abuse.

Instead we get nothing from the NYT or any outlet of similar national note.

For the record:

For this man to promote a rapist -- I mean, for anyone to do so, but in particular this man who has asserted his intent to make the church better on this issue than it has been in the past -- is nothing less than obscene.
