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
“He admitted to the abuse at a sentencing hearing, though he was never convicted of any sexual crimes.”
From his wiki page. Did he really admit to it and not get prosecuted???
Statute of limitations. Yes, it’s still outrageous but that’s the reason.
Rest In Piss
Only if enough of us actually do our part and pee on his grave.
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.
One of Satan’s prized turds has returned home.
Read the Bible… This guy went to heaven.
Edit: guys, I’m not saying this guy was good… I’m saying Christian heaven is full of the worst people.
Good grief…
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.
Just in case there isn’t a hell, let’s punish pedophiles and fascists in the here and now.
1000%. And that’s definitely something no one should forget about Denny hastert. He was a boy hungry pedophile. And revered by the GOP for decades
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.
I’m glad I’m not religious, that sounds stressful AF
You gotta choose (or make) a religion where all you do is go to the beach and eat sandwiches. That sounds like a nice religion.
I got it. There’s a bunch of black/white absolutists around these parts that are incapable of understanding obvious satire.
It’s a known issue.
Are you citing the book of fairy tales like it has anything to do with real life?
Religion is a mental disorder

Like all Republican deaths, his will be celebrated.
World’s a slightly better place today. Hope he’s getting his ass kicked in hell.
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.
Oh boy! An entire year! WOW! We sure showed him!
It’s better than nothing
Marginally
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.
Hey don’t forget that we also got that old bag Lindsey Graham
But there are so many others and they breed offspring. These motherfuckers are all about dynastic rule.
One dying at a time will not do, no sir that is not enough at all.
Powerword Ladybugs.
Another criminal escapes accountability.
dies at age 84
good. 👍
Would have been much better if he’d died at 44, though, the year before he first entered Congress.
Or better yet, at 22 before he got access to his victims.
Good fucking riddance.
Classic Republican scumbag
Good. Fuck you, you pedo enabling shitstain.
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.
Get fucked in hell pedo
