He didn't go to jail for raping kids for over a decade...

But for paying one of the kids off, and that was less than a year in jail

    We got beloved octogenarians, now a hated octogenarian and child rapist; almost there. I'd love to open that particular bottle of bourbon in 2026.

    He's not, hell isn't real. That child molesting fuck should have been made to suffer while he was still alive.

    He did serve over a year on prison, and is still the highest ranking American politician to go to jail. When people complain that we'll never punish Trump and his henchmen, remember that we punished Hastert for being a pedophile, we can can punish the rest of them, too.

    I was raised as a Missouri synod lutheran. Very conservative. I say raised. I'm not active in the church anymore for obvious reasons. I actually read the bible. And didn't want to be any part of those hypocritical chucklefucks. I know you are joking. But I think we can all rest more comfortably knowing that if there's a hell this dumbass is in it.

    rest more comfortably knowing that if there’s a hell

    The problem with hell is it undermines all that Christian rot about forgiveness, pacifism, and kindness. Jesus isn't just a God of redemption, he's a God of infinite punishment and never-ending vengeance. And Hastert can absolutely accept Jesus and get a ticket to ride. The Holocaust Jews on the other hand, not so lucky. When I realized that all those Jews went straight from Hitler's oven into Jesus' oven, it permanently damaged my faith.

    I think it was Esperanza Rising or some other book that had kids talking about this idea, that if you accept Jesus and repent your sins at the last moment you’re good to get into heaven. They were worried their friend who died wouldn’t get into Heaven because he still might have had unwashed sins.

    Idk the bible, but is that accurate? You can do whatever you want, and as long as you confess and say “my bad” you’re good?

    in some sects, yeah that's how it works, with the general idea being that their god is not an idiot and not fooled by insincere deathbed conversions.

    What a fucking cartwheel of a headline to not say this man was a soulless pedophile who was third in line to the presidency for a time.

    Classic Republican scumbag

    He died of natural causes in his home, probably after living a comfortable life.

    Maybe there's an afterlife where he has to make up for his sins. Otherwise...

    Hastert was an exemplary Republican House Speaker; Mike Johnson and others should follow his example and be convicted of their crimes or follow John Boehner’s example and resign.

    I wish the Hastert Rule would die. It's one of the most anti-democractic principles in Congress (among some fierce contenders).

    How and why the fuck do these anthropomorphic shitheaps keep living so fucking long? My best guess... They're demons sent to terrorize humanity and it takes approximately 80-88 years for their insides to decay to the point they need to be recalled to home base for a rebuild.

    At least this particular pisspuddle was probably emotionally miserable its entire life, otherwise it would have found something actually fulfilling and helpful to do with its energy.

    Conservatives everywhere are sad. Maybe we can cheer them up by reuniting them all in hell.

    We already know she's a corrupt war criminal, but I hardly think that's what he's referring to.
