Someone actually died. This was brought about from a bully white supremacist and the media that is his mouthpiece. What a fucking circus we live in. There is no reason we shouldn't all agree that what happened was the culmination of a targeted attack. At least investigate, a little.

As we dug into a little-known church, we started to see a pattern: women describing similar abuse; a preacher who knew what was going on. And the same prescription for the problem: forgiving and forgetting it happened. Listen to this episode of "Paper Trail":

The Church That Told Sexually Abused Children to “Forgive and Forget”
A man was convicted of abusing young girls in his church. Preachers had known the allegations for years. So why didn’t they report him to the police?

Blanche was confirmed as AG. Just a reminder: The last time a president appointed an attorney he had personal ties to, was when Nixon appointed his law partner and campaign manager John Mitchell. Mitchell ended up disbarred and spent 2 yrs in prison for his role as AG protecting Nixon.
