He fell in line at Trump's feet just like Falwell did. IT has been very busy collecting dirt.

But Mr. Falwell will be busy with his own (ahem) problems for a while. My guess is he will lay low since he will likely now be fired by Liberty "University".

If all of the people who are being blackmailed by Trump stepped forward on the same day, they could put a very large hurt on him and free themselves from the yokes on their necks.

that Falwell might have been blackmailed by the MF or Falwell willingly supports the MF? Either way, these people are deplorable.

when President Carter admitted that he had "lusted after other women in his heart".

Sweet Jimmy. Isn't it delightful that we have had his lovely presence in our country for so long?

I approve of his form of Christianity. He does the Jesus part right.

I've theorized that Trump has been able to manipulate Republicans b/c not only he but also Putin have put together dossiers on them. Stuff like tax evasion based on illicit contributions, profits, etc. Adultery. Stuff that invites scandal. And involves the activities of donors.

It's well known that's how J. Edgar Hoover bent the wills of officeholders to that of his. Files. Exhaustive files with photos.

I can't see Falwell seeing that a partnership with Trump would be good marketing for the largest Christian university in the USA.

The Party's Over! Get the snacks!

Ridicule and humiliation are coming up for the Con. I will sit back and enjoy snacks.
