Church Leaders Saying Women Shouldn't Have The Right To VoteBy now, you've probably seen the disgusting Christ Church video that's going viral on social media. Interviewed by CNN, Senior Pastor Doug Wilson the head of the Idaho church offered some truly appalling takes

But he wasn't the only one. Fellow pastors Toby Sumpter and Jared Longshore also spewed some sexist nonsense:
The segment is filled with proud Christian nationalists who believe women should submit to their husbands and blah blah blah. Doug also called for the return of sodomy laws and had some terrible things to say about "decent human beings" who owned slaves. Obviously, not the kind of people you'd invite over for dinner.
Did the Secretary of Defense repost the video to call it out or shame these church leaders? Of course not! He simply added the caption: "All of Christ for All of Life." You'll remember Pete, of course, as the incompetent fool who allegedly sent war plans to a journalist. THAT GUY is promoting content saying women shouldn't have the right to vote.

to contribute ('cept babyin') then I have a question. Why did he include affair #2 - ultimately wife #3 on his leaked defense messages? I always thought that he knew he was in waaaayyy over his head and needed his support female to encourage and soothe him. But then maybe that fits - she is there to make him feel all better.
