		<description>Garrett Ventry,
Ralph Shortey,
Timothy Nolan,
and Jason Miller counts for two!

Maybe it should be called a pentafecta!

Not just two pregnancies, but an abortion as well! Well in his case, at least its all about consenting adults. (The sex part, not the abortion cocktail.) Miller was involved in two &lt;em&gt;affaires&lt;/em&gt;, one with Delgado, which produced a son because she refused an abortion, and with the other lady, whose own abortifacient smoothie was certainly neither &quot;pro-choice&quot; OR &quot;pro-life&quot;.

As for the Delgado &lt;em&gt;affaire&lt;/em&gt;, pretty lady, ugly dude.  I guess Kissinger knew what he was talking about; &quot;Power is the best aphrodisiac.&quot;  

Thanks for the moral majority report, RL.  Its comforting to see they haven&#039;t changed much since the &#039;70s. Same old randy redneck hypocrisy.</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;A former Kentucky campaign official for President Donald Trump is due in court on Friday after being charged with human trafficking in the U.S. southern state.

Timothy Nolan, a retired district court judge, was arrested last month and charged with forcing a minor to engage in commercial sex around August 2016.

He is also charged with inducing a minor to engage in sexual activity and giving alcohol to a minor, according to the complaint.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;Ralph Shortey, a former Oklahoma state senator who last year served as Donald Trump&#039;s campaign chair in the state, was meticulous about keeping up his reputation as a pious man, according to several fellow Oklahomans. That reputation, however, has all but disappeared. According to Shortey&#039;s attorney, the former Republican lawmaker will plead guilty to one count of child sex trafficking on Nov. 30.

Shortey, a 35-year-old married father of three, resigned from the state Legislature in March after being charged with several felonies, including engaging in child prostitution, after police found him in a hotel room with a 17-year-old male. Shortey&#039;s attorney, Ed Blau, confirmed that his client will plead guilty to a charge of child sex trafficking in exchange for U.S. prosecutors&#039; dropping three child pornography charges against him.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;Well, there wasn’t a crime that was committed. These are two teenagers, and it’s obvious that she said no and he respected it and walked away — if that’s the case, but he says he didn’t do it. He just flat out says that’s just not true. Regardless if it was true, these are two teenagers and she said no and he respected that, so I don’t know what the issue is. This is just an attempt to smear his name, that’s all.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.newsweek.com/former-trump-aide-administered-abortion-pill-1134501&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https://www.newsweek.com/former-trump-aide-administered-abortion-pill-1134501&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;Former Donald Trump aide Jason Miller has been accused of secretly administering an &quot;abortion pill&quot; to a woman he got pregnant during an affair, new court documents show.

The court filing, obtained and reported on by Splinter, alleges that Miller had an affair with a woman he met at a strip club in Orlando, Florida in 2012. As a result of the affair the woman got pregnant. Miller is accused of then giving her an abortion pill without her knowledge or consent. The woman claims the pill caused her to lose the baby and nearly cost her her life.&lt;/blockquote&gt;


&lt;blockquote&gt;
&quot;Unbeknownst to Jane Doe, the Smoothie contained ﻿an abortion pill. The pill induced an abortion, and Jane Doe wound up in a hospital emergency room, bleeding heavily and nearly went into a coma,&quot; the document reads. 

As a result of the pill the child died and Jane Doe herself was &quot;hospitalized for two days, the abortion pill possibly reacting with potential street drugs in her system at the time she drank the Smoothie.&quot; &lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>I don&#039;t think Conservatives are any more &lt;em&gt;likely&lt;/em&gt; to commit illegal or immoral acts than Liberals.  But when you constantly characterize your political philosophy as being intrinsically more moral or upright than others, it makes you more likely to cover your crimes and the guilt of your  partisans.  And when discovered, it has a more pronounced impact.

Its like when an Abolitionist is a slave trader, or a Prohibitionist is an bootlegger, or a priest is a sexual abuser.  Hypocrisy revealed is the just punishment of the smugly righteous--and they know it.  Joe McCarthy lawyer, Trump mentor and notorious gay persecutor Roy Cohn was a homosexual, and a prominent American Nazi and Klansman (Dan Burros) was outed as Jewish. There is nothing wrong with being homosexual or Jewish, but in the case of these gentlemen, the irony is especially delicious.</description>
