Discussion: Goodlatte's Son Flaunts Donation To Dem Running For Father's Seat

How sharper than a serpent’s tooth…

At least his dad has announced his retirement, so the son is not stabbing him in the back (or telling him to spend more time with the family). Still got to wonder what Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners will be like.

Good for the son of Goodlatte-R. Take America back from Trump - support Democrats who are trying to take seats held by republicans-trumpers. Support Archie Parnell (D) against Ralph Norman ® in the South Carolina District 5 race - Norman is a Mulvaney clone developer who says Trump is one of the greatest presidents America has ever had.

I wonder, sometimes, if a generation raised with Fox News on 24/7 at home, and AM radio (or whatever RWNJ Sirius XM Station there is) on in the family car, with grow up as brainwashed GOP minions or rebellious Dems.

If his dad gave one shit about America , he would vote the same way too

Rebellious Dems. The last couple of decades have been the perfect background object lesson too.

What is Goodlatte going to do after he leaves the Freedumb Caucus?

It’s not unusual to disagree with your parents but so publically has to hurt.

You’re asking the right question but Nicole has left out the answer to the ‘why’ son Bobby is deliberately embarrassing daddy Bob. Maybe he’s just rebellious but there’s possibly more to it. Waiting on Mueller get’s boring, give me a break.

Oh, the usual post-GOP retirement - golf, clear brush, use that hefty pension for investments. Has one GOP former president ever done anything of any public service?

Kind of like in Family Ties, where Alex Keaton, is all Reagan-y in response to his parents’ Bobby Kennedy-y-ness, but in reverse?

Most of the people I’ve known to any degree, have been very happy to separate themselves from their parents. Not always the case obviously.

Good on him! Some things are more important than embarrassing a loved on or their hurt feelings. Putting a check on the criminal GOP and their dumpster fire president is one of them.

What’s funny to me now is that my once-conservative 80 year old mom watches “Rachel” every night and I have to be sure NOT to mention anything political on the phone or I get way, way, WAYYYYY more Maddow than is good for one ear.

Hah. Oh, my.
Thanksgiving at the Goodlatte house is going to be a blast this year.

That’s gotta sting.

I think, that by Thanksgiving, the GOP will have had to fold and retreat to their single-sex bathroom for a weepy political powder, or it will just freaking supernova and collapse into either a neutron star or a black hole.

I love this story, but might I recommend an edit, since the writing makes it appear as if Jennifer Lewis is Bobby Goodlatte’s father.

…to the campaign of the Democrat seeking to replace his father — Jennifer Lewis — and encouraged…"

Saw two shooting stars early this morning before the sun rose, even with shitty city lights from the Perseid meteor shower happening. One wish…was to show these awful Thugs the door in the next election. The other wish was to throw the book at that Orange Fuck. I hope telling you all this doesn’t nullify those wishes. I mean, its not like blowing out candles on my birthday cake and sharing my wish, is it???
