Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
Since the truth doesn't serve their agenda, they claim the truth is subject to interpretation and what the Founders really meant was exactly what people like Barton and Johnson say they did.
When you can't win with logic, you dazzle 'em with bullshit.
That's exactly how they read the Bible, too.
In fairness, they don't have to do far to find the bigotry and cruelty they're looking for.
I would however be okay hearing from Glob Grod Gob Grob
I find the covenant contract very interesting. " sign a binding contract agreeing that they would divorce only in the case of abuse, abandonment, imprisonment of a spouse, or lengthy separation. A covenant couple, no matter how miserable, cannot simply decide to divorce."
No mention of infidelity?
I could see them justifying infidelity as abuse or abandonment. I used to be a fundie, and Correctly Interpreting™ words to mean what they don't mean is practically a sport.
Hey, fellow former fundie! I have a couple of issues with your hermeneutics.
Lengthy separation? Like a lot of couples do before or during divorce processing? Perhaps it's worded strongly but otherwise that seems as easy out.
And unless this is just a legal contact with financial penalty, i.e. a prenup, then it's just for show. There's no way to enforce this legally to actually prevent divorce.
You can't sign your rights and privileges away to be enforced as anything but civil law.
It's pretty flimsy, like any marriage contract. Someone could be banging choir boys every day and the only thing the wife couldn't do is quickly divorce. Very few are using this legal device anyway, it feels more like political window dressing for stupid people, which is most of the electorate.
It’s only infidelity when women do it. Boys will be boys /s.
No mention of infidelity?
There is a 0% chance this dude gets laid.
How else is he supposed to fuck underaged boys?
"He often gives sermons of a political nature at churches" - might want to let the tax office know about that one.
The only way that will actually be enforced is if churches start openly endorsing Democrats and opposing Republicans.
Didn't click through. I'm just going to assume he's married to his "mother" like Mike Pence.
Don't kink shame Mike Pence's Domme. She didn't do anything except punish that bad, bad boy.
People who don't get laid enough get weird as fuck.
