Holy Crap: The Evangelical Drifts Away Edition
Okay, Aladamnbama. Evangelist Acton Bowen, 37 years old, has some child molestation charges against him currently pending. Now he’s got seven more charges.
He faces two counts of second-degree sodomy, two counts of enticing a child for immoral purposes and three counts of second-degree sexual abuse, according to jail records.
He was booked into jail on a $500,000 bond.
His wife filed for divorce. And then …
On Friday, two of the ministry’s board members stepped down, include attorney Trenton Garmon, who worked as an attorney for former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore during his failed campaign bid for U.S. senate last year.
I don’t know about you, but I kinda think that Attorney Trenton Garmon needs to turn in his law license.
Acton describes himself as “a speaker, best-selling author and visionary.”
I ain’t buying the visionary crap because if he is a visionary, he’d have seen this coming.
Thanks to SGray for the heads up.
Blake, Oh Blake.
Wanna know why Blake Farenthold resigned so abruptly?
The House Ethics Committee was about to rule against Farenthold in its investigation into whether he sexually harassed members of his staff, used official money for campaign purposes and lied in previous testimony to the committee, according to the office of Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.).
The committee gave Farenthold a heads-up about its coming decision, so he quit, per Speier’s office.
He needs to be in the pokey. He does not deserve a heads up. The women he harassed did not get a heads up. He lied to a congressional committee without a heads up.
Anybody in South Texas who voted for him needs to have their voter registration card revoked.
I still want my $87,000 back.
Thanks to everybody and their Aunt Thelma for the heads up!
Oh, and It Gets Better…
Breaking this afternoon, Fox Noise screamer Sean Hannity has now been tied to TWO more Trump attorneys. They are Victoria Toensing and Jay Sekulow; Sekulow is Trump’s lead attorney in the Mueller investigation, and you’ll recall that Toensing is the wife of Joseph diGenova, a Fox screamer and who Trump named to his legal team earlier this team, only to disqualify himself due to “conflicts of interest”.
It gets better…
No, YOU Don’t Have a “Right to Privacy”
Sean Hannity, obviously flailing around for an excuse after he was outed yesterday as the third “secret” client of Michael Cohen, was chastised last night by Fox talking head Alan Dershowitz for not disclosing his personal relationship with Cohen. Hannity retorted that he has a “right to privacy“. Well, actually, no, you don’t, Sean. You get on national television 5 nights a week spouting BS about everything from wild conspiracy theories about anyone not Donald Trump, and have been vigorously defending Cohen. Also, you are a public figure and have used your status as a public figure to line your pockets with cash from your sycophants. For once, I agree with Dershowitz that he should have disclosed his relationship to Cohen. Not doing so simply peals another layer of the rotten onion that is Fox Noise.
Oh Boy!
Do you wanna know what’s gonna piss off Trump more than Stormy Daniels?
This.
Justice Neil Gorsuch, President Trump‘s selection last year for the Supreme Court, cast the deciding vote in a decision released Tuesday that sided with an immigrant fighting his deportation.Gorsuch ruled with the court’s four liberal justices in favor of the immigrant, James Garcia Dimaya, who argued that his convictions on two burglary charges did not represent a violent crime.

He faces two counts of second-degree sodomy, two counts of enticing a child for immoral purposes and three counts of second-degree sexual abuse, according to jail records.
