We really don't know that.  Sometimes the people who talk the most about the  $$$ they give actually give the least and vice versa. 

Yeah, reminds me of this woman at my workplace who was always collecting money for the "sunshine fund" for sick colleagues ... until we found out that she never actually donated to the fund.

Yep. I've seen this for myself.

I also doubt that the DA's office which employs Derick, makes monetary donations to that charity. The DA's office is a public agency, operating on public money - and the state of Oklahoma doesn't lavishly fund any public agency. I don't think the DA's office would (or could) hand out wads of its cash to any private charity. But they may refer people to the charity and generally support its work without making monetary donations. Hence the Dillards' attending the fundraiser.

I wonder if that charity (private nonprofit) qualifies for grant money administered by the DA's office.  I worked for a state agency in a different state and that did happen. In our case if was a federal formula grant program.

Wow, they must not be paying much attention to their Republican overlords these days and their rally participants.  Or they know zero Puerto Ricans in their little white corner of the world.  

I refuse to believe they are dressing that way in an ironic or pointed fashion. 

They just stepped right into that.  

I think they're representing an insult made toward a different group.

But anyway, a picture of Derick calling himself garbage is an accurate picture.

I'm actually surprised that people thought they had changed. The only reason they fell out with Jill's parents was money, not theology . Had JB given them what they wanted they'd still be praising him.

I'm surprised, but not surprised. Derick has never changed but his repair-his-image campaign and his 'outing' of JB had some folks changing their minds.

IMO, nobody who publicly spouted the shit Derick spouted can redeem themselves without denouncing what they said, followed by actions proving it.

I think much of the "love" for Derick was really just folks enjoying someone beating JB at something.

Underdog Derick takes down the more hated entity and becomes the hero. Even though they are both the same.

Jill said that she might get tattoos, not ruling it out. Probably something to do with the babies she lost. 
 

I think she’s in a really happy place. The two oldest are going to school, she seems to love being home with the little one. She cooks every day and seems to make some interesting international dishes. Plus she loves gardening. That’s a lot more than her mother ever did at that age, or any age.

Derick would have to do something spectacular for me to think he is anything but scum for bashing a child (Jazz) on the internet. 

I'm glad that Jill has a better life now than she had as a child and teen, but she still has the same abhorrent religious beliefs as Derick and the rest of her family.
