There is a free spot on my bingo card the size of Texas. And Florida.
Actually, we should give up Bingo and start a new game called Headlines. It'll be like Cards Against Humanity, except the black cards will all be "____ arrested for ".
The white cards will all just be various individuals or descriptors like "Hulk Hogan" and "Texas Megachurch youth leader".
After everyone plays, you do a search for the headline and the most recent exact match wins.
I spent more time thinking about this than it's worth, but I'm committed now.
Ok but no "Diddy" card that's just going to be OP
Wild how it’s not a drag queen.
It's always the ones you most suspect
Surprising absolutely no one. It's a trope at this point that megachurch pastors and staff are sexual deviants and pedophiles.
Keep your kids safe. Don't let them go to church.
Conservatism and pedophilia. Name a more iconic duo.
Ooooh I'm gonna have to go with Conservatism and racism. But pedophilia is probably a close third after misogyny.
Abilene Texas is a wretched hive of Christian nationalism and reactionary entitlement.
I only drive out there because I have family there; my niece was a victim of another pedo pastor there.
oh, look: a republican
