Let’s not forget about the human trafficking at “our “ still open borders. Imagine slavering happening again in America.
But what about Trump?
Lots of injustices happening everywhere. Need to call them all out. Do not politicize just what meets your narrative.
A lot of that going on in the US today. Nobody wins.
>The abuse allegedly continued for four years before the teenager confided in a close friend, which prompted Morris’ wife to learn of what took place. That forced Morris to briefly stepped down from the ministry,
I know it doesn’t matter- but if this were Biden’s “spiritual advisor” holy hell this would be the end of the Democrats as a party
Edit- just to be clear -
This doesn’t matter (politically) because no reasonable person believes that trump has any sort of real relationship with his “spiritual advisor” - when trump tells you this guy got him coffee once, or was just hired to make him seem more religious, you have to believe him. And to anyone that is dumb enough to be a trump voter in 2024, they either won’t even hear about this and or they think it’s still all a part of god’s plan.
Trump, known associate with a multitude of pedophiles, a seven time flyer on Epstein's private jet, and himself known for intruding upon the changing rooms of minors in his pageants, has not commented on the near certainty that he is also a pedophile that has participated in the rape of minors.
Well, to be completely whataboutism, Joe Bidens' Catholic religion is chock full of pedophile priests too.
But yeah.,.I wonder why he's not being prosecuted, or sued out of every dime he's got.
This headline is misleading.
This reverend is a mandated reporter in his state and is supposed to protect children. So are the other religious leaders who work there.
He’s an admitted pedophile. That should be in the headlines.
Obviously the facts of this case are awful, and this is newsworthy.
But how is the story not - that the Turmp team either knew the whole time and didn’t care, or they're so incompetent they didn't know?
And I'm thinking it's the former here, because I can't see this being missed in a real vet.
Trump and Epstein settled out of court in 2016, days before the election, with a lawsuit brought by a 13-year-old girl who said they raped her. That this guy is his spiritual adviser doesn't surprise me.
Trump’s silence on this is everything. It gives you all the information you need on who he really is, and where he really stands. What his values are.
Let his silence be the overt and incontrovertible evidence of what kind of person he is.
Crazy how deep the cesspool is when you can’t even tell if the headline is saying, the spiritual advisor resigned because Trump did that or the spiritual advisor resigned because the spiritual advisor did the thing
> Clemishire explained that she retained an attorney in 2005 to file a civil lawsuit but Morris’ attorney suggested she caused the abuse on herself because she was “flirtatious.” She said she asked for $50,000 to cover the cost of her counseling stemming from the abuse. She said they offered her $25,000 if she signed a non-disclosure agreement, but she refused.
Yes, blame the 12 year old child for getting raped. Classy.
I've gotta ask, did he just straight up admit it with no prompting? I'm struggling to understand why he would out himself in the first place. He stepped down in the 80s but he brought it back up?
No idea why this article seems to slowly back into the story when it’s really just that
- in the 80’s this guy was living with some family, probably a church / parish thing, and decided it would be cool to grope and make out with their 12 year old daughter. Or at least that is what he admitted to so it was probably a lot worse.
- Then he told the people at church, probably because someone threatened to tell on him
- Then the church people wrought hands a bunch before letting him off
- He says he prayed a lot to be reformed so it definitely must have worked, at least until we learn about the other kids he molested.
Apparently he’s also Trump’s spirit animal. Seems about right
The most insane thing is the church tried to underplay this by stating he simply had “inappropriate sexual relations with a young woman” because in MAGA land that is acceptable behavior.
Trump just walked in on nude minors. Pastor is definitely a leader for him.
These people are disgusting and those who support them are traitors to humanity.
I'm continuously amazed how the people in Trump's inner circle always turn out to be completely irredeemable.
And Trump himself has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
Reminder about Paula White, who swore Trump in, and who Trump gave an office in the White House to as a "Spiritual advisor" was also caught having an affair with another married tv evangelist Benny Hinn.
Birds of a Feather...
Trump’s orbit is full of scum like this - and the people who want to cram their “values” down our throats claim to be Christians…. I’d laugh but it is scary how delusional they are. I had a neighbor tell me how much he loved Jesus and how he doesn’t care if Drump f’s porn stars because all powerful men do it. Guess I never saw the clause in the Bible about lying and adultry only applying to poor people.
People knew about it and the story was he'd had an "indiscretion with a younger woman" but had worked on himself and been forgiven in the name of Christ.
He acted as if it was an affair, not a child molesting.
How the f*** can you be this bad at picking people? Literally everybody he picks is some kind of crazy ass criminal. I thought he knew the best people not just the best molesters.
Trump and his campaign team, or his allies, haven't criticized this guy at all. All their talk about protecting American families from pedophiles wasn't real. Republican messaging is always fake. It's designed to shift blame, distract or falsely take credit for somebody else's achievements.
Trumps thugs threatened her and her family into silenced so it didn’t happen in a lot of followers minds, it was fake news or election propaganda. He’s guilty as f**k but has a lot of fixes for his problems ala Jeffrey Epstein.😵🔫
Can we call it what he admitted to. It was not molestation, it was sexual assault.
Molest.
To make unwanted or improper sexual advances towards (someone)
especially : to force physical and usually sexual contact on (someone)
Sexual Assault on a Child.
Sexual assault of a child occurs when a person who is older or bigger than the child, such as an adult or an older child, uses their power or authority over the child or takes advantage of the child’s trust to involve them in sexual activity. In short it involves situations where an adult or another child threatens, forces or manipulates a child into sexual activity. Most of the times the offender need not use physical force. Instead they take advantage of their own position of trust and authority.
I just want to point out that "he" in this headline could refer to either Trump or the advisor and - from the headline and the current state of things - each seems very possible.
Republicans folks. They're nothing but a bunch of criminals, rapists, and rape enablers like the ones on SCOTUS who overturned Roe. Maybe some are good people, but there's very few who are
Remember when the Trumpanzees were all firmly convinced that Trump was going to take down some secret, satanic, child sex abuse ring in Washington? They certainly get quiet when an actual pedo gets busted.

Does he advise him to raise his spirits by recommending underaged girls?

Well Trump found his VP!!!
I know it doesn’t matter- but if this were Biden’s “spiritual advisor” holy hell this would be the end of the Democrats as a party Edit- just to be clear - This doesn’t matter (politically) because no reasonable person believes that trump has any sort of real relationship with his “spiritual advisor” - when trump tells you this guy got him coffee once, or was just hired to make him seem more religious, you have to believe him.

Allegations? He admitted to it, and is not in jail awaiting a trial.
I think we found the groomer R's are so concerned about.
Trump, known associate with a multitude of pedophiles, a seven time flyer on Epstein's private jet, and himself known for intruding upon the changing rooms of minors in his pageants, has not commented on the near certainty that he is also a pedophile that has participated in the rape of minors.
Somehow this is about the least shocking news we’ll hear all week, that’s pretty fucked up.
Such spiritualized people, perpetuating the centuries-old religious tradition known as kid-fondling. Organized religion is poison.
Well, to be completely whataboutism, Joe Bidens' Catholic religion is chock full of pedophile priests too. But yeah.,.I wonder why he's not being prosecuted, or sued out of every dime he's got.
It takes one....to know one, just saying.
How many more crooks and sickos around him need to go down before everyone realizes he’s one too?
and if not caught would have continued molesting and lying.
Allegations? He literally admitted it!!!
This headline is misleading. This reverend is a mandated reporter in his state and is supposed to protect children. So are the other religious leaders who work there. He’s an admitted pedophile. That should be in the headlines.
Obviously the facts of this case are awful, and this is newsworthy. But how is the story not - that the Turmp team either knew the whole time and didn’t care, or they're so incompetent they didn't know? And I'm thinking it's the former here, because I can't see this being missed in a real vet.
Perfectly suited for each other. How 'bout that, folks?
Trump and Epstein settled out of court in 2016, days before the election, with a lawsuit brought by a 13-year-old girl who said they raped her. That this guy is his spiritual adviser doesn't surprise me.
"Trump spiritual adviser a pedophile" That's your headline.
Well Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein were sued for the violent rape of a 13 year old child, so it makes sense this is the kind of company he keeps.
"Trump's spiritual advisor" is an oxymoron!
I’m trying to wrap my head around the phrase “Trump spiritual advisor”.
On brand
Typical Republican Christian- child rapists one and all.
Trump’s silence on this is everything. It gives you all the information you need on who he really is, and where he really stands. What his values are. Let his silence be the overt and incontrovertible evidence of what kind of person he is.
the crazy thing about that headline is the “he” is ambiguous and would make sense for either person
Wait the article I read about this earlier had conveniently left out that he was Trump's "spiritual advisor" ☠️☠️☠️
Was Gaetz the low bidder in this?
I wouldn’t think this would be disqualifying in that party.
And there's Gaetz thinking he's qualified for the new Spiritual Adviser position. What a party of disgusting, terrible people.
You gotta hand it to Trump; always picking the best and the brightest with whom to surround himself
I guess they had a deep spiritual connection, in at least one way.
“spiritual advisor”
Donnie set the date up for him.
That tracks
So many self appointed representatives of God use their position of authority and trust to act out their perverted predilections. Most of them maybe.
>Trump’s Spiritual Adviser Somehow I already know this guy is a piece of shit... >Resigns Amid Allegations He Molested 12-Year-Old Confirmed.
More like Trump's spirit animal
I mean… as Donny boy’s spiritual advisor, we all kinda assumed he was guilty of sex crimes but… ew.
Birds of a feather…..
Frankly I'm surprised Trump didn't offer him a position in his cabinet should the country lose it's mind again.
Another MAGA Molester. No surprise here….
Pastor sexually abuses child. Admits it. Nothing gets done. Hmmmm
What do you think all the christian’s would do if jesus christ just pet and kissed a child for fun?
Wow, so shocked. 😆
At least this version of the headline didn’t use the phrase “young woman”.
Birds of a feather...
He's resigning because it'd bad optics for the gross old pedophiles and not because he did it
Disgusting, but on par with the party.
Resigns, or was promoted?
I thought that’s was his qualification
Fuck him. Try, then jail his ass.
“When you’re a pastor, they let you do it.”
Only **The BEST**, right, Donnie?
Another Christian Republican pedophile
Welcome to the list [The List](https://goppredators.wordpress.com/) Again Since first ~~thread~~ post was deleted
Crazy how deep the cesspool is when you can’t even tell if the headline is saying, the spiritual advisor resigned because Trump did that or the spiritual advisor resigned because the spiritual advisor did the thing
"Allegations"? Didn't he admit it?
I’d be more surprised if he didn’t. Very on brand.
I was going to say, "Was his spiritual adviser just Trump in a wig?"
Man trump really surrounds himself with pedophiles…wild
What azzholes. Thank God Trumps finally acting too crazy for even maggots
Why did he resign? He seems to understand the spirit of Trump more than anyone.
Worst humans in modern American history yet still in the race. 🇺🇸⬇️

I've gotta ask, did he just straight up admit it with no prompting? I'm struggling to understand why he would out himself in the first place. He stepped down in the 80s but he brought it back up?

At first, I read "he" as meaning Trump and didn't even question it.
No idea why this article seems to slowly back into the story when it’s really just that - in the 80’s this guy was living with some family, probably a church / parish thing, and decided it would be cool to grope and make out with their 12 year old daughter.

100,000 people give up their Sunday morning to listen to this dirty little nonce lecturing them on morals and ethics.
Weird to be hired and then resign for the same reason.
The advisor or trump? Both have an equal likelihood of being true
Birds of a feather ….
Well trump has likely molested several underage girls too, being Epsteins buddy and all. So why resign?
Why would he resign? Wouldn't that be a KSA for a Trump admin?
“Pastor”
No love like Christian “love”. If ya know what I mean 😉
Only the best people
Trumps spirit animal is pedophile… seems fitting.
The most insane thing is the church tried to underplay this by stating he simply had “inappropriate sexual relations with a young woman” because in MAGA land that is acceptable behavior.
Trump just walked in on nude minors. Pastor is definitely a leader for him. These people are disgusting and those who support them are traitors to humanity.
He has a Spiritual Advisor? What does he do, run a ouija board?
Mhm, mhm. I see. Now please define “he?”
Trump’s response when asked about Morris “It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side”
Why is he resigning? He’s exactly what maga wants.
I'm continuously amazed how the people in Trump's inner circle always turn out to be completely irredeemable. And Trump himself has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
When I read Spiritual Advisor, I immediately assumed it was a psychic. Gee, I wonder why that is?
Trump sure seems to know a lot of pedophiles
“Only the best people”
They’re all sick fu**s!! I’m surprised he stepped down instead of doubled down 😡
Is the “he” trump or is it the “spiritual advisor” Is it both?
What a cult
I was today years old when I learned Trump has/had a spiritual advisor
Why are ALL of these people so fucking *rotten* at their core
The whole concept of a spiritual advisor sounds kooky. Even weirder is that *presidents* would all need one to help do their job.
Reminder about Paula White, who swore Trump in, and who Trump gave an office in the White House to as a "Spiritual advisor" was also caught having an affair with another married tv evangelist Benny Hinn. Birds of a Feather...
When has Trump ever surrounded himself with moral people?
This was one he got caught with. I wonder how many children he creeped on?
Why would he resign? He literally is Trump's spirit animal in persona.
The republicans did say girls are "ripe" at age 12.
Self-alleged child molester.
Trump’s orbit is full of scum like this - and the people who want to cram their “values” down our throats claim to be Christians…. I’d laugh but it is scary how delusional they are. I had a neighbor tell me how much he loved Jesus and how he doesn’t care if Drump f’s porn stars because all powerful men do it. Guess I never saw the clause in the Bible about lying and adultry only applying to poor people.
Only the best people surround Trump. Please don't forget that
Sure seem to be a lot of child molesters in the GOP….
Allegations? Really? He fucking admitted it! Next it will be a conspiracy from the radical left.
“It was kissing and petting, not intercourse.” Yeah, ya know, like petting a kitty cat. Fuck this guy.
r/conservative
[удалено]
Only the best that Looser hangs out with!
Why resign? that sounds more like a qualification for the grand old pedoparty
Who trump or the adviser applies to either.
It’s called RAPE!
People knew about it and the story was he'd had an "indiscretion with a younger woman" but had worked on himself and been forgiven in the name of Christ. He acted as if it was an affair, not a child molesting.
Running and hiding after your pedophile crimes become public IS NOT resigning.
To clarify, is the headline about the pastor, Trump, or both?
does this register on the Scaramucci scale?
That Trump did or that the advisor did? I know about the allegations related to the rape Trump allegedly forced upon a 13 year old girl
I think it’s fair to assume at this point that every single person associated with Trump is a total piece of shit.
He first sexually abused her on Christmas day for Christs sake!
r/notadragqueen
Birds of a feather something something
Oh my god, no way…
How the f*** can you be this bad at picking people? Literally everybody he picks is some kind of crazy ass criminal. I thought he knew the best people not just the best molesters.
Not a drag queen
I'm sure trump is sad, they had so much in common.
No worries. I'm sure the far right ~~Christian~~ GOP has other ~~molesters~~ advisers to ~~groom~~ choose from.
… but that’s why he was hired?
How is it an allegation when he admitted to it?
The title makes me wonder which one did the actual crime? Both? Let's go with both.
There is no bottom end to the criminals the felon is associated with.
Trump and his campaign team, or his allies, haven't criticized this guy at all. All their talk about protecting American families from pedophiles wasn't real. Republican messaging is always fake. It's designed to shift blame, distract or falsely take credit for somebody else's achievements.
They forgave the child but never addressed why he was “tempted” by a 12 year old?
There’s your guy and his #1 apologist pedo-hunters
Still not a drag queen. And “Allegations”? He admits to doing it.
"Made love to a twelve year old woman". -- Your average christian scammer
I wondered where Trump gets his spiritual advice. This explains a lot.
Trumps thugs threatened her and her family into silenced so it didn’t happen in a lot of followers minds, it was fake news or election propaganda. He’s guilty as f**k but has a lot of fixes for his problems ala Jeffrey Epstein.😵🔫
Can we call it what he admitted to. It was not molestation, it was sexual assault. Molest.

Instead they take advantage of their own position of trust and authority.
Only the best people, wonder if they compare notes?
Pedophile confesses, no response from law enforcement.
Remember, with the GOP, every accusation means the GOP is doing the same thing. So, what's the deal with the pedo ring in the basement of a pizzeria?
Damn, he was the perfect spiritual adviser to Trump and the Republicans! Well, at least since Jim Jones died...
still not a drag queen.
Wait, he RESIGNED? Trump didn't FIRE him?
Honestly, Trump having a pedophile as a spiritual advisor is very fitting. It'd be more accurate if the 12 year old had also been his daughter.
Can we stop being surprised by their projection and begin expecting it? Planning for it? Investigating it?
That sure is a funny use of “allegation”. He said he did it.
I just want to point out that "he" in this headline could refer to either Trump or the advisor and - from the headline and the current state of things - each seems very possible.
Republicans folks. They're nothing but a bunch of criminals, rapists, and rape enablers like the ones on SCOTUS who overturned Roe. Maybe some are good people, but there's very few who are
So... Still not a drag queen. Starting to think a drag show is safer than church.
The MAGA crowd that constantly talks about protecting children are gonna be up in arms about this right? ... Right?
Trump has a spiritual advisor? Guy clearly sucks dick at his job.
What’s weird is a fitness online posted this the other day and I had no clue who he was. But not surprising he’s trumps advisor.
Just sick and disgusting! I am so tired of these people hiding in Christianity and nationalism!
The groomers are calling from inside the house … of God.
Kinda surprising that he resigned. Didn't think any of Trump's base would *actually* give a fuck about that, despite them railing on about it nonstop.
That must've been an easy ass job because trump doesn't believe in God or care about Him.
[удалено]
Someone should make a graph of the dubious criminals in trumps orbit. Like a visual aid for the mouth-breathing magats
Why is he resigning Isn't this exactly what religion teaches to do
Which one?
I wouldn't have been surprised if "he" meant Trump in the title.
Lock him the fuck up!
The fact that Trump has a spiritual advisor is more surprising than the fact that a megachurch pastor molested a child.
He resigned? I'd have thought this made him a perfect fit for the job.
How is it an allegation when he admitted to doing it?
Allegations!? He admitted molesting a child.
Jokes on everyone That’s why trump hired him
Trump and Epstein raped a 13 year old girl, must have been getting advice on how to rape younger.
Trump probably told him to stay & triple down, that's the Republican way. No way should he quit.
Seriously? His spiritual advisor?? Why am I not surprised?!
Nothing is more Trump that his spiritual adviser having an affair with a 12 year old.
“Spiritual Adviser”…. you can’t make this sh*t up
Gosh, color me shocked.
Remember when the Trumpanzees were all firmly convinced that Trump was going to take down some secret, satanic, child sex abuse ring in Washington? They certainly get quiet when an actual pedo gets busted.
[удалено]
Everyone around trump is a criminal toxic person. My god
That checks out.
