MODERATORS
 

Oklahoma’s top Senate leader said an inquiry is underway following “a bizarre and troubling situation” where two board members reported that they saw naked women on State Superintendent Ryan Walters’ office television. Senate President Pro Tem Lonnie Paxton, R-Tuttle, said the inquiry is being led by the Office of Management and Enterprise Services and “leadership at the agency is working through proper channels to initiate the investigation.”

In my opinion - Porn isn't the problem

Playing it in your OFFICE, at work? Yeah you're a creep.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I think it's more funny and embarrassing than incriminating.

I don't doubt the guy is a creep, but it was an accident. Could have been the last thing watched before he went to bed, and he didn't know enough to get it out of there before his big meeting.

Let his people shun him. I won't judge him for the porn, but that doesn't mean I won't judge him for being a Christian Nationalist.

Well, mistake or not, I can only imagine how disrespectful that felt to the other people in that meeting.

I did watch porn at my job once, though - cashiering at the porn store. 😎

You gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers.

[–] forrgott@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

Well...yeah. I mean, it wasn't something they condoned. So although that wasn't what got me fired, it did not help!

But, yeah, I can't argue with rookie numbers when I was kinda sorta sliding under the radar until some other drama kinda blew up on my face!

Lol

Okay, you got me. Once upon a time, I would watch porn at my job. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It’s the hypocrisy that’s a problem.

[–] Tower@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 weeks ago

I thought it was the raping.

Honestly i get the feeling that these anti porn christian nationalists are often simply getting off the hate and outrage they themselves create.They love stuff thats hated, taboo, "evil" because it arouses them. Thats why not a few of them get caught with illegal shit. Not because they are pedos (some of course are, thats just statistics), but they just crave the feeling that doing wrong shit gives them. And after all Jesus will forgive them 👍 Unlike you and me, we "faggot loving satan worshippers" will go straight to hell.

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

It's about oppression. Never about the rule of law but only about using the law to punish people they don't like.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

it should be noted that the only people who suffer porn addiction happen to be people from especially prudish faith-backgrounds.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago

The Christian Nationalist part is also creepy.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah nothing wrong with porn. But this will lead nowhere. I wish this was enough to remove him. But fuck Republicans are okay with Trump being a pedo. Hell they go out of their way fo protect pedophiles. This who age verification thing is just a tool to the surveillance state.

while insisting on getting the commandments in the schools, the trump bible in schools, and going on massive "porn" hunts from books in school libraries.

(you can tell he hasn't read the bible because if he had, he'd probably given his wife at least one orgasm... song of solomon has some good tips.)
