Don't forget there are many different ways to purchase a used cars nowadays (mostly involving the Internet) than there was in the past when most people went to a used car lot or looked in the newspaper classifieds.  My husband has both bought & sold cars using an on line site. The final transactions were made in a public Park & Ride lot.  

I don't see that many sales occurring in Josh's lot to support his size family.

Someone on Reddit just described Josh’s face as a glistening glazed ham. I am considering divorcing my husband and marrying that poster.

Well, for many of us, it's the difference between 'imperfect' and 'non-PC' and being a criminal.  Josh is a child molester and his parents actively intervened in his situation to avoid him being punis

Instead breeding for Jesus.

When, all the while, Jesus was saying, "No, no! Not on my account! No more, please! Just take better care of the ones you already have!"

The wedding pic makes me sad. Josh should have been in jail. Anna should have been going off to college or something similar. 
 

Instead breeding for Jesus. the greater glory of Jim Bob

Fixed it for ya.

ETA: Not disputing Josh is the father of Anna's kids, but IMO Josh wasn't as dedicated to the super-breeding idea as his wife, and his father. JB wants LOTS of grandkids, and what JB wants . . .

He looks like a more punchable Ted Cruz. And that's saying something.

Sad that Anna looks a bit desperate even here. Your dad sold you out, sweetie. Wake up.

OK, "more punchable Ted Cruz" is HILARIOUS and super accurate! 

Second, that wedding picture makes me so sad. It's like pictures of people boarding the Titanic. I just want to reach through the screen and punch Josh and actually de-program Anna. Her beliefs are abhorrent, but I think then she was probably still salvageable. 6 kids later? Nope.

I hope that Josh made that LinkedIn account when he was younger and dumber. Who puts their freaking wedding photo as their profile pic? Maybe that explains the lack of his DC gig - because he made the account prior to the job.

Didn't the Duggar Auto sign used to have a picture of Josh and Anna squinting into the sun?

Quote

I vaguely remember looking at his LinkedIn long ago, well before Joshgate, and that's pretty much how I remember it.

His real resume is under 'Joe Smithson' in LinkedIn.

Bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Thanks, JoshUA. I needed that laugh.  I'm going to start MyPeopleAreNordic's Strategic Medical Consulting Services even though I have zero education, accreditation, or background in medicine/health care. My husband is a nurse. I'm sure I can just show up at his work during his lunch break, overhear some medical-ish things, and I will be instantly qualified based on being around nurses and living with one, just like hanging around your dad's office in the state legislature and living with a politician qualified you to found and operate Strategic Political Services. I know you've volunteered for political campaigns, but a crap load of us out here have and we don't have the hubris to think that we are qualified to found our own political strategy firm because of that (not to mention that Josh's campaign work was largely just be a "celebrity" that backed Huckabee, not actually doing any kind of ground work or strategy for the campaign). 

Too bad Josh didn't spend all that Ashley Madison money on community college classes while he was living in DC away from the compound.  He might actually have earned some kind of degree or credential to support himself that could allow him to be out from under JB's thumb/having to rely on the Duggar name/money.  Night classes also might have kept him too busy for the porn and Ashley Madison-ing and maybe, just maybe, would have opened up his mind just a tiny bit so he'd be less smug. 

If this is his LinkedIN, I'm sure the picture of him and Anna was chosen because he looks so much younger and thinner here and to remind us all that he's forgiven/redeemed/recommitted to his lovely Christian helpmeet Anna because Jesus (and probably thinks it makes him look like he's into family values, even though we all know he ain't).  It might also be there at Anna's instance that he can't possibly have anything resembling social media that she's not prominently featured on so as to remind the ebil, secular harlots from helping Satan build fortresses in Josh's heart by trying to sext on LinkedIN messenger (Ewww). She may have demanded he use a picture of them together to remind everyone he's married since LinkedIN doesn't have a place to go on about being a committed married husband, etc.

The thing is that I think that Josh is the only Duggar kid who seemed like he wanted more in life than being JB's employee. He actually took a job outside the family. His ambition is probably fueled by his extreme arrogance, but he tried. Of course, it fell apart because everyone discovered he's a disgusting piece of shit. 

But the sad part is that I think that Josh's fall from grace has stopped any other Duggars boys from leaving the fold. JB probably has them on a tighter leash. He probably tells them that the world is cruel to Christians and cites Josh as an example.

I agree.  Smuggs knew JB didn't approve of his taking the new job & moving to DC.  Even though JB was smiling when the announcement was made,  he was not a happy camper.  You could definitely see the fire & anger brewing under the fake smile. (Similar to when he yanked Josiah's arm in response to Mechelle's new blessing  announcement way back when.)

I also agree that Josh's escapades tightened JB's leash on the rest of the boybots. I'm sure they were constantly reminded of how Satan took over Josh when he took the new job & the same thing would happen to them if they wanted to pursue something non-JB approved. 

That LinkedIN picture is something else.  Smuggs looks very smug & Anna looks so scared that if someone said Boo to her, she would jump out of her skin.

Nope, the unfortunately named Daxton is cousin Amy's kid.  Anna is still pregnant as far as we know and expecting a girl.

Don't feel bad that you didn't recognize the kid, it seems like at least half of the comments are from people congratulating Anna on the baby.

This has been the longest pregnancy!  It almost feels like the baby doesn't WANT to come out.  But who can blame her.  Her dad is a sex pest.

Well she is worn out from making 5 roast beef sandwiches for sex pest daily. Plus home fooling 5 kids. And gestating #6.

Her hair looks lighter. Did she go blonde? And she looks awful in that picture.

Aside from the lank, thin looking hair, her face itself looks good enough. She looks a bit tired, as is to be expected, and was never what one might call a raving beauty, but she looks fine to me. It is amazing how much difference hair can make, though.

Not her best look.

The Duggarlings and Duggar adjacents need to learn about eyebrows that actually look good, too. Ofsmuggar looks like a pair of wooly caterpillars crawled onto her face while she slept, and they died there.

Anna never had thin hair before and pregnancy usually makes hair really thick since you don't lose the usual hairs due to hormonal changes.

Now her hair is super thin and orange.

Doesn't even look like her. Thought she had her baby and some family member was holding it till I read it was her and Dax.

I've thought the same thing for a long while.  Something is just "off" with her looks. I know people's weight can fluctuate & hairstyles change but usually the person underneath still stays the same. I don't know much about facial plastic surgery but her face reminds me of someone on a Lifetime movie who has a face job to change their identity.   Maybe it's the way her face has matured. I just can't put my finger on it.

I beg to differ.  Her hair has always looked thin & scraggly to me, the kind that can't hold a style or curls for long.  I think she may have mentioned this in a very early episode.  I think it's the type of hair that won't grow beyond a certain length either.  Her hair doesn't compare to  most of her sister's in laws or MIL.

Forgot to include Mechelle's mop in the hair comparison sentence.

And I'll bet that her MIL and SILs are very catty to her about how God has blessed them with their "crowning glory" and for His own reasons passed her by.

I agree. For the past few months I cant even pick her out of a group photo. Something is different.

Anna never had thick hair, but it does look pretty thin and lifeless in that photo. Maybe she just had her hair colored, and was waiting to wash it.  This happens to me.  My hairdresser often gives me a moisturizing treatment after the color, and since my hair is fine it weighs it down.  But I still usually wait 48 hours to wash it so the color will last longer.  (Or so I've been told.)

To me, a big part of the change in her are the eyebrows.  She’s begun wearing eyebrow pencil to accentuate her brows, and she’s very heavy-handed with it and usually wears the wrong color.  If she insists on wearing eyebrow pencil, she needs to find someone who can lead her to the right color and teach her how to apply it properly.
