Yikes. I mean I had a sister so I know what teenage girls can be like and how hard it can be for them. Throw in having parents so visible and political..

I guess her dad is leaving the Lincoln Project too.

If it's to help improve things at home hopefully it works out for them. KAC will have to retrieve her soul from storage

I've said that any election is decided by less then 10% of the voters in the undecided block.



Both parties are really train wrecks. I hate Trump, he needs to be fired (into orbit). But I'm not really sold on Biden as the strong leader that they need down there to fix the damage done.


I'd be voting for Xerg the intergalactic despot from Earth 312

Nothing personal but the "I hate both sides" take is just a little lazy. I dont think you could name any one person on earth that wouldn't inspire similar concerns in many people to the ones that you are feeling about Biden. And if you still aren't sure about Trump being the least qualified person who has ever uttered the word president, then I give up on you.

It's too late for that. She sold her soul a long time ago and there's no getting it back at this point. I hope her complicity in this s**t show haunts her for the rest of her life.

Last time he was in a coma he did a ribbon cutting ceremony. I think it’s safe to say he’s not well as he isn’t being seen in public but I hesitate to believe he’s in a coma. And really his sister is cut from the same cloth so if power is being transferred to her I suspect we will see high ranking officials obliterated by anti-aircraft fire soon enough.

I think she is actually leaving to deal with her family. George Conway tweeted today that he will be off Twitter for the foreseeable future tending to non-political issues. Their daughter made the threat of becoming an emancipated minor because of the crazy stuff going on in their household. She has shown no lover for either of her parents during this debacle, so they really need to take a step back and rebuild their relationship with their daughter.

I feel for the poor kids caught up in the nightmare of a high-profile, selfish, unprincipled parent. It must be hugely difficult, especially for the ones in their formative teen years.



Goes to show that being born into privilege isn't always a privilege.

And just think, there's 53 GOP senators and their family's right now, I feel for their kids and even spouses but for 52 of them they can go f"c themselves and burn in hell for being yellow pricks.

I can’t even imagine. I feel for relatives of the deplorables who have stood by Trump. They don’t deserve the hate that I am sure they are receiving in droves.

I can't imagine the fights that must have happened in that household over the last four years when the parents with such publicly hostile political stances. Kids had to deal with a lot.

I caught a bit of the Postmaster Dejoy hearing this morning and he is getting roasted from both Democrats and Republicans. This guy is highly incompetent and the whole situation is extremely greasy.

It's sad when you think about how she's had to endure during her formative years. Age 11 to 15 is an important time in your life.

I can't totally ignore the hunch that the kid is kinda in on it as well, and her outrage is being used to give Kellyanne the cover she needs to step down, because she wants to get off the Trump team before the potentially disastrous election.

If I was the sort of psychopath that I assume Kellyanne and George are, with no true political allegiance and a willingness to say anything to keep themselves in a position of political influence, then grooming my daughter to be the far-left opposite of myself would make a lot of sense. Then as a family, we're playing all three angles: alt-right, moderate, and progressive. Especially important to get that progressive angle in there if that's the way that the balance of power might start leaning in the next few years.

I know this is extremely unlikely and total cynicism on my part.

Not that this is breaking news to anyone who's listened to the rumour mill, but it's now on the actual record so should be fun.

Giancarlo Granda says he was 20 when he met Jerry and Becki Falwell while working as a pool attendant at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel in March 2012. Starting that month and continuing into 2018, Granda told Reuters that the relationship involved him having sex with Becki Falwell while Jerry Falwell looked on.

Granda showed Reuters emails, text messages and other evidence that he says demonstrate the sexual nature of his relationship with the couple, who have been married since 1987. “Becki and I developed an intimate relationship and Jerry enjoyed watching from the corner of the room,” Granda said in an interview. Now 29, he described the liaisons as frequent – “multiple times per year” – and said the encounters took place at hotels in Miami and New York, and at the Falwells’ home in Virginia.

On Sunday night, however, as Reuters was preparing to publish this article, Jerry Falwell issued a statement to the Washington Examiner in which he said that his wife had had an affair with Granda and that Granda had been trying to extort money from the couple over the matter. Granda denies any such intent, saying he was seeking to negotiate a buyout from a business arrangement he says he had with the couple.

Falwell’s statement Sunday to the Examiner said nothing about Granda’s account alleging that the evangelical leader had his own role in the affair, and Falwell didn’t address questions from Reuters about it. In the statement quoted by the Examiner, Falwell said that “Becki had an inappropriate personal relationship with this person, something in which I was not involved.”

The material Granda showed Reuters includes screenshots from what Granda said was a FaceTime conversation he had with the Falwells in 2019. During that call, Granda said, Becki was naked as the two discussed their relationship while Jerry peeked from behind a door. Reuters was able to verify Granda’s description of the screenshots.

Granda also shared an audio recording that he says captures a conversation he had with the Falwells in 2018. In it, Becki complained about Granda describing his relationships with other people: “He’s like telling me every time he hooks up with people. Like I don’t have feelings or something.” Jerry then chimed in: “You’re going to make her jealous.” “I’m not trying to do that,” Granda replied.

Earlier texts show a friendly and romantic dynamic between Granda and Becki Falwell. One 2012 text message, which Granda said came from Becki, read in part: “Right now I am just missing you like crazy .... Have you had this effect on all of your lady friends?”

Nice to see someone in that family has their head on straight. Must be extremely difficult for her to have to put up with that day in and day out.
