Future Cat Lady

I'm guessing that the "abuse" Derick is referring to is about Jazz being trans. He probably feels that her parents should not let her go through transitioning. He thinks that trans people are a non-reality. He probably thinks that her parents are forcing/indulging her into a lifestyle that he finds reprehensible. He clearly doesn't have a problem with kids being in the media since his own kids are all over his and Jill own accounts.

He just started school and it sounds like Jill is already having a difficult time. No wonder she hangs out at the university. She better get her own life or she’ll have a breakdown.

They don’t seem to understand that work is something that people do for a paycheck and that’s how they pay for things.

I just can’t with her hashtags.

I don't like the Duggars and I hate all that they stand for, but I pity all of the Duggars kids. Their parents completely ruined their lives. They've been brainwashed from birth to believe in one way of life only. Any curiosity, ambition or independent thought was crushed as soon as it appeared. And the total isolation from others and lack of education made sure that they would always be dependent on their parents. They've had no choices in their lives. That's sad. And what is even more fucked up, is that if some of them realize how screwed up this is, they are probably not allowed to openly feel or verbalize it.

I pity the poor people who received this dish from Jill.

I wouldn’t mind Colleen being the Iron Fist. It could be interesting. I doubt it would last, but it could be a nice twist. I’m guessing that Mary/Walker has a third alter and that one is very good with knives?

I don’t understand this either. Unless it’s supposed to be a bad thing? Like the person is not worth the professor’s time?

They’ve had the house for 4 years and it’s still not finished? I know he probably paid cash, but he still has to pay for heating and taxes? I don’t own a house so I know nothing, but I don’t think that sitting on this for years is a good investment.

What I find obnoxious about Derick's obsession with moving the show to another network is that it's not up to him. He's not the one who has a contract with TLC. The show is about the Duggars and they've had business arrangement with them for years. He has absolutely no say in this. It's none of his business. He can choose not to appear in it. And he probably orders his wife to do the same thing. But he can't tell the Duggars what to do. He also highly delusional if he thinks his in-laws are going to give up their cash cow.

It starts as if Jill is the writer, but then it looks as if Derick is writing. Why can the person writing just write like it’s one person writing and sign the post?

I really liked the Danny/Ward bonding scene. It was great to see them connecting. I hope they become good friends. And when are we getting a Daugthers of the Dragon series? More Colleen and Misty please.

I wonder if he wants the show to move to a more « appropriate » network so he can get back on it, and collect the cash. And he’s still a hateful homophobic asshole.

I don’t think there is anything incestuous going on. However, she never tries to find him a spouse the way she does Nurie. She may be the kind of mother who wants to remain the most important woman in her son’s life and will hate his wife.

You're right. She doesn't have to take any stance if she doesn't want to. But everything is about image these days and she's perceived as homophobic and transphobic. People on this board always say that they are 100% sure that Jill and her family totally agree with what Derick is posting. They just keep their mouth shut to keep the show going. I can't blame a company for not wanting to be associated with her because it would make them look bad. Also, she was recently promoting a sex education book that was clearly anti-LGBTQ. If they saw that, it was kind of proving her view on the matter.

I don't think that's her personality. Jessa on the other hand...

The thing is that Jill never said she disagreed with her husband hateful tweets. That makes her look bad.

How do you sign up to sell these boxes? My guess is that anyone can sign up and the company doesn’t do any kind of background check? I’m guessing that any interaction with the company is done online? As long as your credit card checks out, you’re good to go? Jill was booted because the company received complaints. They did a little googling and they realized she would not be good for their image.

OMG! They do have the same pose. Good catch. She copied Whitney or it's what the company suggest. At least, Jill cleaned up the usual mess. But her place is not very appealing lookwise.

I think that all the boys are under their father's thumb. They all work for him. And I'm pretty sure that the money they got to buy their houses came from the family's pocket. My speculation is that when the boys come of age, they get their share of the show's money so they can buy property. The girls get their share when they get married.

Or maybe he’ll go blind?

And his hand... I’ll see myself out.

I keep seeing comments that JB may be funding Derick’s education. In my opinion, there is no way in hell that that would happen. JB is anti-education. He wouldn’t pay for his own kids, so he certainly wouldn’t pay for his son in-law.

Josh didn't attack TLC, but Derick did? Don’t bite the hand that feeds you.

I wonder what his plan is. He’s always all about Jesus. I don’t think he’s given up on that. What kind of Law does he want to practice? Does he want to defend the poor persecuted Christians? Does he want to find a way to make laws that reflect his Christian conservative values? Does he want to take away the rights of the LGBTQ community or women’s rights to abortion?
