Yea, pretty much how I view Smugger - sex addict, cheating on his wife, smug expression, over weight, sex with multiple women - that's why I suggested him.  Personally, he makes my stomach churn and my skin crawl

Both are disgusting. At least Ron Jeremy doesn't deny what he is and try to hide behind religion.

Maybe it is the wine, but Ron Jeremy hanging out with the Duggars sounds like it would be hilarious.

If I didn’t know any better, and I bothered to think about it, I’d look at that picture and see, from left to right:

- Polyamorous group of 4

- Straight couple

- Lesbian couple with toddler

- Single guy with baby

- Gay couple

... the funny thing is, I’m pretty sure TLC would air that show, too. 

Especially those last three! I can totally see it!!!

Am I the only one who sort of likes Jinger's outfit? It looks like something I'd have worn when I was still young and thin. Of course, that was in the early 80's and maybe it was in style then? I don't know...I don't pay too much attention to fashion as a rule, so other than the big hair and shoulder pads, both of which suited me (I have naturally curly hair and very narrow shoulders), I don't recall any particularly iconic 80's look.

Anyway, I like the color combination, and would be more prone to wear that outfit than any other in the picture. But with Jana's shoes.

I don't think it is all that bad, really. My comment about JB forcing her to wear it was a comment on how covered up she is compared to the not-at-all scandalous amount of skin she shows on Instagram.

I was also cracking myself up because of my post in the JB and Michelle topic, imagining a male audience member asking JB for advice on controlling his married daughter's wardrobe.

But I'll need more wine.

It looks like Izzy and Sam should be in bed. Why do these idiot people think it's ok to drag small children 'out' with them at night time events? I don't think those kids have any type of healthy lifestyle for their ages. Those boys will never attend school, any school outside of their own homes. None of them have any idea what it's like to have an organized day/nighttime life. You wait and see...no school for Izzy. He'll never be Pistol Pete 3.0.

Hmmm.  There COULD be gay or lesbian people on the team.  Or, shudder, transgender people on the team.  How will Cathy or her waste of a human being son know who to really cheer for?  There could be Jewish people or Muslim people or atheists on the team. I hope they did a thorough background check on each and every participate to make sure they are the right kind of person. Slippery slope here 

God could have blessed the wrong kind of person with the determination, ability and strong work ethic it takes to get to the Games.  And what if the athlete's hard work pays off and they achieve their goals?  Then what?  

But it must be comforting to know that if the  Olympics ever allows interpretive dance as event , Derwood is a shoe- in.

If you google Tebow's foundation, there is a video of last year's Night to Shine. It is a prom for children with disabilities age 14 and above. It shows the kids preparing, putting on fancy dresses and tuxes, getting flowers etc, all things that would occur at a high school prom. The participants walk or are pushed in wheelchairs up  the red carpet, while the volunteers applaud. 540 churches in the US and 16 in foreign countries sponsored a prom. They all took place last night. If I knew how I would post the video, because there is a clip of them dancing. The kids looked like they had fun.

There are several openly gay people on the US Olympic Team.  Adam Rippon, a figure skater, has said he will skip the team reception with the US delegation lead by Mike Pence, citing Pence's support of conversion therapy and anti LGBTQ stance.

Gus Kenworthy is also gay and on the ski team and has also been critical of the decision for Pence to head the US delegation.

Somehow, I don't think Cathy would approve.

It's interesting to me how the adult children still on Counting On (and not only still on it, but actually elected to continue doing the show) had generally been the quieter or more soft-spoken Duggar kids during the specials and 19 Kids, with the exception being Jessa and possibly Josiah. In contrast, JB and M as well as the adult children who were more outspoken on the specials/19 Kids (i.e., Josh, Jill), are not on Counting On. Granted, they aren't off the show due to their own outspokenness (e.g., it was Derick's outspokenness, not Jill's), but it is still interesting nonetheless.

[Lady Edith]

I have a high school friend whose special-needs daughter went to the Night to Shine last night. I enjoyed seeing her FB pics of her kiddo having fun and wearing a pretty dress and being a princess for the night. That poor girl has been through so much in her short life (permanent feeding tube, trach, multiple life-saving surgeries) and it’s fantastic to see her smile.  What a wonderful thing that this foundation does!  Too bad Silly Jilly made it all about her and the Dullards and nothing about this truly special event.  

Which leads me to the church that my friend and her family attend (and where the event was last night).  It’s a pretty fundie church but they are not of the same ilk as the Duggs.  When this little girl needed to have her own care suite in their home (she needed a place for her and her full-time nurses to stay that was kind of sequestered from the rest of the house for medical reasons) their church pulled together and built an addition to their home, complete with an en-suite bathroom, its  own air purification system/climate control separate from the house, and bedroom for the nurses to stay.  This was fully paid for by the church and through donations.  And the work was 100% volunteer.  The family had to do NOTHING aside from choosing paint colors and flooring. To me, THIS is ministry.  It’s caring for others at a higher level.  My friend has little money due to the amount of care their daughter needs to stay alive.  And there is NO way they could’ve afforded to give their daughter the living space she needed.  

So did the Dullards do anything like this in Danger America?  Or are they currently doing it in NWA?  Doubt it.

Really Cathy...I thought it was my brain, heart, and lungs are the reason behind my next breath and heartbeat. Silly me! I guess I should not use my CPAP machine at night anymore, take the medications I am on to help keep my entire body running smoothly as possible, and not have anymore medical appointments, procedures, or tests.

Now I know why my eyes have been bothering me so much lately. It is probably due to the constant eye rolling from reading her and her Derelict son's social media manure.

Really? Cathy asks that all Americans cheer for the Olympic athletes as a "favor" for her ??? A favor? For her? 

I feel like I'm nitpicking on everything she says, but to me that just sounds so self important. Like, in order  bring Cathy happiness, we should all join together and do this thing that we wouldn't do otherwise. 

Uhhh, Cathy ... The majority of Americans probably are on some level going to be cheering for the Olympic athletes . They really don't need you to burn a personal favor with all of America in order to receive support. I actually don't think you have that much pull with all of America to begin with. But if you think that as a personal favor to you, you can persuade the masses to do something they would never consider doing in the first place ... more power to you. 

I just can't with her anymore.

I've never actually seen much of the Duggars on tv, but I think this night-and-day-are-irrelevant thing-no-matter-what-age-you-are has been the longstanding family tradition, hasn't it? I seem to recall either hearing about or seeing instances where Duggar kids just fell asleep on the stairs or in a corner. No particular bedtimes. I guess for all the Duggarlings, including the married ones, this is just the norm that they've always known.

That seems nuts to me, but I also kind of see how you might get into those habits if nobody in the family went to a regular job or to school.  Without any externally imposed routine or expectations, I suppose you could all too easily let little slipups in the schedule slide more and more -- no impetus to fix them -- until there was no schedule at all. Partly explains their grazing eating habits too, I suppose. If nobody ever goes to bed or gets up at consistent, working-world-type times, the meal schedule would likely collapse right along with the sleep schedule, I guess. (especially if it were helped along by a major disinclination to fix actual food, on the part of the supposed housekeepers)

And actually, with the possible exception of Austin, nobody who's married in so far has all that much in the way of external schedule constraints either. We saw what happened with the Dullards when Der did. And right now, Jer may have the most, but it also looks as if he may actually have no regular out-of-the-house responsibilities except on Sunday morning either.

So unless some Duggarling wakes up to the fact that their family's traditional way of life is nutso and unhealthy, they may not get much pushback from any of the spouses. .... I wish I had faith that some Duggarlings would decided to change it up and believe in bedtimes and getting up times. But I wouldn't hold my breath for it.

If Derelict is that concerned about child abuse he should be mindful of the glass circus he joined. Jazz is doing just fine and has involved parents. How about sitting down with Boob and Mullet and ask how could they allow the sexual assault of their daughters by their son, how could they allow it to happen multiple times, how could they have covered up the crime? 

According to Dirty Jesus Jazz is being exploited by TLC. OK, what about his wife and siblings? In his world spending 250K on a vanity senate run while over a dozen children are crammed in two bedrooms, and live off of food left on their doorstep is not child abuse. His wife had to lock herself in the bathroom to eat in order to keep her portion of food. But that is OK because ministry, and Jesus. Derick, SHUT THE FUCK UP! 

Too bad I’m banned because I’d love for him to answer these questions.

He did not reply, but one of the Duggar family supporters did. I think the one who responded was the same one who said TLC has been "baiting" the Duggars by putting the one show on TLC. Go figure!

These Tweets are very insulting and are aimed directly at Jazz and her parents.

Dear Derick, 

Here are a few things that I, as a Christian, consider child abuse:

Child molestation.

Hitting a baby for crawling off a blanket.

Beating a child with a rod or any other object for any reason.

Swaddling your toddler so tightly that he can’t move and then taking pictures of him screaming in distress.

Forcing children to raise children.

 

Here is what I do not consider child abuse: 

Supporting your child and helping them become who they were meant to be, instead of isolating and controlling them.  

 

I will pray that some day you learn what it really means to be a Christian.

Sorry, @GeeGolly. I know this is Dericks’s tweet but it showed up as a quote from you when I copied it. 

Anyway, who is he to judge Jazz’s parents when his in-laws are using their 19 children to promote their agenda, and that of their cult, and even covered up the molestation of 4 of their daughters by their son in order to promote that agenda.

But I don’t care what Derick is claiming now.  His comments were as much an attack on Jazz as on her parents and the network.

Jazz is a heck of a lot older than most of the Duggar children were during the specials and 19 Kids, so while her parents had to consent to being on TLC, Jazz also had to be involved in this process, especially given her status as an adolescent. I believe that with Counting On the kidults make their own choices about participation, and it's interesting because I feel like there is less emphasis on religion and politics compared to their 19 Kids counterpart which was led by JB & M, so as a result Counting On appears more secular and less controversial but at the same time more boring.

Cathy's condescending post for a favor drips with contempt - I'm guessing for liberals.  Her "conservative christian" brain can't conceive of anyone different from her rooting for their shared country.  She and Derelict prefer to think the worst of those who hold different beliefs from their "correct" thinking.  They really are hateful, close minded people, professing a devotion to a Jesus who would likely be appalled by their attitudes.
