5. This one sums up the many debates from yesterday

"Anti-Semitic" is in the eye of the beholder and republicans are controlling the narrative and dividing us.

Thanks for the toons!

20. It's exactly perfect.

I was trying to express this point yesterday, but nowhere near as elegantly.

[PatSeg]

22. Oh, you're not alone

[scarletwoman]

23. Amen. :D (nt)

14. Did I miss something in the news?

I didn't get the one about the southern baptist trying to do confession. They need to. But was there a sexual assualt issue that became public?

[JHB]

15. Yup

https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/investigations/article/Southern-Baptist-sexual-abuse-spreads-as-leaders-13588038.php

***
In the decade since Vasquez's appeal for help, more than 250 people who worked or volunteered in Southern Baptist churches have been charged with sex crimes, an investigation by the Houston Chronicle and the San Antonio Express-News reveals.

It's not just a recent problem: In all, since 1998, roughly 380 Southern Baptist church leaders and volunteers have faced allegations of sexual misconduct, the newspapers found. That includes those who were convicted, credibly accused and successfully sued, and those who confessed or resigned. More of them worked in Texas than in any other state.

They left behind more than 700 victims, many of them shunned by their churches, left to themselves to rebuild their lives. Some were urged to forgive their abusers or to get abortions.

About 220 offenders have been convicted or took plea deals, and dozens of cases are pending. They were pastors. Ministers. Youth pastors. Sunday school teachers. Deacons. Church volunteers.

16. I came from a southern baptist household. None of that surprises me.

When I viewed the cartoon, I thought that one baptist elder had been recently caught after sexually abusing women and girls for two decades (btw, there is a decent chance that such abuse is happening at the hands on one powerful man, I am no longer affiliated with organized religion, but I know some southern baptists that would turn a blind eye to sexual assault by a church elder, to the extent of shaming the woman or girl victim).

The thing about advising pregnant victims to get an abortion Aldo is not a surprise, the level of hypocrisy in that church is astounding.

17. LOVED the Amazon smile.

And the one by Wiley with the alien at the bar drinking something with an umbrella in it sounds like the setup to a great joke.

"Two aliens walk into a bar . . . "

18. Donald Trump walks into a bar...
