A Republican Texas state lawmaker who once proposed banning children from attending drag shows to supposedly shield them from being groomed for abuse has resigned after he was found to have engaged in inappropriate sexual conduct with a 19-year-old intern.

Bryan Slaton, 45, resigned on Monday while facing mounting calls from the state’s Republican party and conservative groups to step down. A state house investigation last week determined that he supplied alcohol to the intern and another young staffer, had sex with the intern after she had become intoxicated, and later showed her a threatening email while saying everything would be fine if she kept quiet about the encounter.

These cunts can't imagine that other people could possibly be less awful than they are themselves.

A Republican Texas state lawmaker who once proposed banning children from attending drag shows to supposedly shield them from being groomed for abuse has resigned after he was found to have engaged in inappropriate sexual conduct with a 19-year-old intern.

Bryan Slaton, 45, resigned on Monday while facing mounting calls from the state’s Republican party and conservative groups to step down. A state house investigation last week determined that he supplied alcohol to the intern and another young staffer, had sex with the intern after she had become intoxicated, and later showed her a threatening email while saying everything would be fine if she kept quiet about the encounter.

…Two of them eventually left but the intern stayed, according to investigators. She told her friends Slaton drove her home the next morning, stopping at a drugstore so she could obtain emergency contraception.

Slaton at one point proposed to penalize the use of emergency contraception, including what is known as the Plan B pill. Besides his proposed ban on children attending drag shows, he also drew attention for seeking a vote on whether Texas should secede from the US.

Please make this happen!

Saw this the first time, but did not get around to reading so for braving the nipples :thumb::cheers:

Now for the serious part. - They say they want a Christian country.

What country would you guys say is the most Christian?
And what I mean by that is what country most closely follows Christs teachings as part of Society, ( and Government if applicable ) not who builds the most lavish churches and screams the loudest about how Christian they are.

Ya, Catholic counts, still Christian, Mormon's not sure about :think:
Well Costa Rica has a pretty good welfare and pension system.
I guess they have a bit more cash to spend on the people as they don't have a military.

I read somewhere recently something along the lines of the republican party has only won once the popular vote in the last 30 years.
With those numbers, they just dont give a crap about reality and making sense.
George W Bush was the last, but only his second term. He lost his first run. Famously, "Bush v. Gore". The Electoral College is racist based voter nullification that overtly punishes liberal voters, pure and simple.
