JD and Abbie: Captured Before the Rapture

I was kind of hoping JD would be buying a different home for Abbie and Gracie. One with a yard and enough space so Gracie wouldn't need to share a room with the home office printer.

he still owns that ranch house he got in 2012 from the bank for work done or whatever arrangement was there. i don't remember but is is still listed in his name. but in JD's mind he is surely thinking we have this free house from pops and i can still collect rent from the house.

Small plane crash always seem pretty common imo.

I don't know if it's the pilots or JB's buy-used-and-save-the-difference mentality. Those planes always seem a little antique. If I want to buy an airplane, I would the safest plane with a good rating. They are lucky no one was hurt.

I think Nathan Bates can fly a helicopter; maybe he was involved.

I think the lack of news stories about these crashes show what small potatoes the Duggars really are. A few years back Harrison Ford had a couple close calls while piloting a plane and it was all over the news.

JMO, but Harrison Ford is in a whole different fame level.

Harrison Ford is A-list; the Duggars and the Bates are Z-list at best .

That was my point. A-listers are well known, Z-listers aren't. If it wasn't for People Magazine and the Today Show, they'd be even less known than they already are.

If they fly for Meddiiiicorppse would they need a commercial license? Or does that being a 503C make it not matter?

Don't know if being a charity matters or not, but JD does (now) have a commercial certificate.  I can't attest to if he had one at the time of the accident or not as public records only list his current status with the commercial certificate granted/renewed/modified in November 2021.   He's one of only two Duggars with the commercial certificate instead of private or student, and the only one with the multi engine or the rotorcraft ratings.  He's also the only one with a specific aircraft type rating.

 

 

[crazy8s]

i think Nathan Bates also has a commercial pilot's license

[Absolom]

John David has had a commercial license for a few years.  He's flown long enough to have developed some arrogance.  He should have been developing competence.

So, the plane he was flying belongs to Medic Corps, but the two other passengers were family members, presumable Abbie and Grace?  Wonder if he reimbursed Medic Corps for non-charitable use of the aircraft?  Except I don't. Unless Gracie is on their Board of Trustees and there was a meeting in Tennessee, I don't think this was a charitable use of the plane.

Now that People has the story, I wonder how long until someone in the media pokes around in FAA records and discovers that JD ran out of gas due to a faulty guage and failure to properly check his plane pre-flight?

I noticed that People managed to link the whole thing back to Josh' trial and conviction.  That is going to haunt them all for a long, long time.

My humble thoughts if I was a humble person 🤣( I kid). But only the people watching the show know this is a shady family.  Now with smugs and all the stuff coming to light, now more news sources etc are looking at them saying oh hey wait   And people that had paid them no attention are now setting up their Duggar white boards and studying them.

Anti-Duggar articles get just as many clicks as Pro-Duggar 'Jessa Duggar shares her recipe for a dusty living room!' type stories. Magazines'll benefit one way or the other

I stupidly read the article. All they acknowledged was that they were in a crash and everyone was okay. Total PITA clickbait. 

[ginger90]

Breaking their silence for $$$, I’m so surprised.

Duggar family has the same thing on Instagram. It’s the first post on there since Thanksgiving. It’s also on the family Facebook page. It’s the first post there since the December 9th post with the statement regarding the family felon’s  verdict.

WOACB is reporting that Abby is pregnant:

Quote

Rumors have been flying that Abbie Duggar is pregnant. Redditors found her Pinterest page where she has been pinning gender reveal pins recently.

I reached out to a source who knows Abbie & they allege that Abbie is pregnant with their second child.

My source alleges that she’s dealing with severe morning sickness called hyperemesis gravidarum. She had this condition with Gracie. My source alleges it’s worse this time & she’s “profusely ill” and struggling to care for Gracie and herself.

A few weeks ago Abbie was seen at a consignment sale in a wheelchair. According to my source, Abbie has been extremely sick. She has been struggling to take care of herself and Gracie.

My source wasn’t sure how far along Abbie is but they allege she’s “well out of the first trimester”

 

[YupItsMe]

She’s deathly ill  but went shopping for clothes?

[emmawoodhouse]

It wasn't clear if that was Abbie in the wheelchair. Her hair was pulled back, and it didn't look as curly as it usually does.

[GeeGolly]

I Googled Abbie Duggar wheelchair and clicked on a Redditt link - the post has now been deleted. Supposedly Abbie and Lauren were seen in wheelchairs.

Abbie is allegedly pregnant. So is Lauren.  I guess time will tell if either of these are true.

The jeans on the guy in the pic kind of look like JD's.

Agreed, I didn’t think the wheelchair pic looked like Abbie at all. Time will tell, though!

Abbie and Gracie are really attractive.  Even JD moved up a notch in looks after he got married, and "got some."

I'll see myself out.

Who would've guessed a derp like JD would end up having one of the cutest kids ever? 

[Zella]

I wasn't sure where to post this because they haven't said who's going, but Medic Corps is saying they've been "dispatched to support the Ukraine crisis," which almost makes it seem like Russia asked them to come in and fuck shit up more, but I think what it really means is that they finally felt compelled to make themselves seen and are headed to Poland or one of the countries taking in refugees to stand around and take pictures.

[emmawoodhouse]

Well, if the rumors are true and Abbie is so sick that she can't take care of Gracie, I don't see JD going. Nathan's a newlywed (they don't let you forget it), and Law's getting married in a couple months. I don't see them going either. Who else is there?

I was wondering that myself. I can't keep straight who else is involved. 

[quarks]

The mind boggles.

Leaving aside the question of what skills, exactly, they think they can bring to Ukraine, I have to ask:

a) How are they getting there? Their small planes can make it around the U.S. and to various Caribbean countries, sure, but Ukraine and other Eastern European/Baltic countries?

b) If they're flying commercial flights, then what's the point? I thought their whole thing was that they could use their helicopters/equipment to assist people?

c) Do they have money to pay interpreters, or are they just assuming that everyone in Ukraine speaks English?

d) If not, are they expecting to master Ukrainian, Russian and any other appropriate languages via Duolingo or whatever as they make their way to Ukraine? 

e) Are they aware that we are still in a global pandemic and that all of these countries have active Covid cases right now and that there is a non-zero chance that they may be asked to quarantine upon arrival?

f) And perhaps the most important question: Can they find Ukraine on a map? 

Edited March 8, 2022 by quarks
plans and planes aren't quite the same thing

[CalicoKitty]

I know charities are asking for money, but are they asking for volunteers?  Unless they can cook soup, I can't see that they will be much help. No place for SCUBA, and I doubt they will be parachuting anywhere.  I would be very surprised if they were actually going to Ukraine.  Maybe to direct traffic in another country??  I just don't see them being very helpful, and I have no idea who would ask them to come.  Exactly who has "dispatched" them?  Or do they see this as a photo op to get donations?  I just don't see how 5 or 6 guys, if that many, can be useful.  I also don't see them being invested enough to "fight to the death".  I just really hope they stay out of the way and don't make more work for anyone.

@quarks, you listed some excellent points.  I wonder if these guys even know that that they use a different alphabet.   When I was a tourist in Russia many years ago, I learned to recognize two words--the name of my cruise ship, and the word "exit".  I figured those two things were very important.  Otherwise, I was totally lost language-wise.  And I have college degrees and have  wide international travel experience.  And I am very good at map reading.  What will these guys do when no one obeys their orders in English?  I don't see this having a good or useful outcome.

What the actual fuck. Why would any of these countries of refuge need these handful of bumbling fucks around? What could they possibly offer? Really, what could they possibly offer?!

They need to get their stupid asses out of whatever space they're staying in, give it to a refugee family, all expenses paid, and get the fuck back to the US.

[Dehumidifier]

It doesn't actually say they are going to Ukraine. Dispatched to support could mean to the airport to load planes or the docks to load ships.

The wording is bad, in my opinion. Going to support the crisis…..

That could actually be a way for them to be helpful, but I doubt if it would be appealing to them. On any of their previous “missions”, did they ever get their hands dirty with actual work?
