If a person/family was never featured on any of the Duggar shows, and is not related to the Duggar family by blood or marriage, they do not need to be discussed here..

We may all agree that David Rodriques is quite unfortunate looking, but let's refrain from comparing human beings to apes, its got way too much of a loaded history- please review the new Inclusion Policy updated May 1, 2022 , which details guidelines around discussing body type, capabilities, physical appearance etc. Additionally, using body size as an insult is not allowed.

I agree, the accident was scary and I don't blame her for being upset about it.  It's just that her first instinct, upon arriving at the hospital ER, was to photograph her daughters lying on backboard

In what way would ANYONE other than this idjit consider vaginal birth to be 'non-conventional'.  Even in this day and age, most births are vaginal.  As to the 'little to no pain meds', once again, sou

At least she can't afford any looted antiquities. I can see Jill wrapping strings of lights and plastic greenery around a cuneiform tablet.

I can't believe David is not even 50 yet. In that recent video of the family God-bothering people at the fair, he was mostly parked in a chair, but there was a moment when he got up and I was really taken aback by the "old man-ness" of his movements. He moves like someone who's much older or who has a significant illness or disability. And I'm not fat shaming or holding him to an unrealistic standard of fitness. Mr. Portia is 56, overweight, and pre-diabetic, with bad feet. He works too hard and doesn't exercise as much as he should. And from the looks of things, he could run rings around ol' David.

He may still be recovering from the foot injury. Remember, he stepped in a hole or ditch or something. He used a cane for a while. We haven't seen him walking for some time, so it's anyone's best guess how he's getting about these days.

He got that from you, Jill ! You vile, lazy, judgemental, hypocritical witch ! 😠

Even more free $.

Don't you have to have an actual legitimate job to claim disability? And no, I really do not classify his "printing company" to be an actual legitimate job.

Actually, no. There is SSI, which is Supplemental Security Income and SSDI, which is Social Security Disability Insurance. Folks who've never worked but are disabled would get SSI, if they qualify.

If something happened to David, Covid or otherwise, and he died, what do you all think Jill would do? I mean, after she grifted as much money as possible for the “funeral” and beyond? Would she try to remarry ASAP?

Great question. As a widow with 10+ kids she could do really well grifting for a least a year. Then I think she's scout for a wealthy Christian guy. Or maybe she'd try and bring Nurie, Kaylee and their husbands back to support them.

Oh, Jill would milk her widow status for the rest of her life. She wouldn’t remarry, but would demand that her children provide for her. 

But someone might think she’s an ebil, immoral single mom if she’s seen with her kids and without a husband. 😆

She and minor kids would qualify for survivor benefits. Also David might have life insurance. 

My guess Nathan would be stuck supporting her if Jill does not remarry.


As someone said half the kids would not be minors by December. Less stimmy money.

 

Actually I vote for Timbot being stuck supporting everyone. He will not be allowed to marry and be BME source of $ until she dies.

Whichever gained her the most attention and $$ is the one that she’d go with.

She’ll wear her wedding ring and widow’s weeds, and will absolutely talk about being a widow all of the time. Also, she will be SEVERELY widowed.

Honestly, Jill's appearance is the least of her issues. Those filters don't do jack for you if you are batshit crazy in person.

I assume the Rods know about Kevan Bartlett, pastor of the church in WV where Jill had her Pamper Mama shower. Bartlett and his wife caught Covid at a funeral in 2019 (?), and they weren't the only ones. He ended up in the ICU on a ventilator and then ECMO. Somehow he survived, but his lungs are badly damaged, and in the last photo I saw, he had a portable oxygen tank. I'm sure if Jill and David had been members then, they would have been at that funeral because Jill seems to love funerals, especially the singing, hugging, eating, and photo opportunities. David doesn't look healthy enough to fight off a virus. It's hard to say about Jill, with all her magic Plexus stuff.

I doubt Jill would fetch a rich husband maybe a older widower with a dozen kids of his own… Too bad Jim Bob doesn’t have a brother! Jill Rodrigues-Duggar would be even more nightmare inducing!

David looks drunk or like he has had a stroke. Either way why would Jill post a picture of him looking this way? Surely she can't think this is a look worthy of bragging about. 

It was a screenshot from a video. They can appear a bit wonky.
