Or she’s just realized that there won’t be any money to inherit unless trump is re-elected and can finish destroying the country and declaring himself dictator-for-life.

He did not come forward before, he said, because he respected the university’s mission and that of its founder, Jerry Falwell Sr. He also explained, “I don’t want to be a homewrecker.”

Dude. The sanctity of that marriage was pretty well tarnished already.

With Donald as the father and Marla The Mistress as the mother? Faint hope at best.

How are they going to investigate Falwell without smearing the rest of the thieves in the Board of Trustees? Or are they going to hire Robert Mueller to find nothing.

I’m not sure a will codicil was necessary. Even with receiving a good portion in the current will, she may have started realizing that if something doesn’t change, all she’ll inherit is a big chunk of debt and a name that’s mud, and she’ll have to get a job and work for a living.

I bet serious money that we’ll never hear about the results of this…it’s going to be so damaging to the reputation of Liberty University that they will cover most of it up and release a “report” that covers as little as possible that’s still enough to paint Falwell in a bad light. There’s all kinds of bad stuff going on, from money being used to naked pictures of students being passed around…odds are those naked pictures came from naked activities, and the money stuff will be really bad. If Falwell and his wife were doing this stuff, it’s unlikely they were the only ones, their favorites would also have been doing bad things (that’s how it always works in situations like this).

Liberty won’t want to lose its accreditation, so it will stuff as much under the rug as it can to show that things weren’t that bad and were limited only to the Falwells, and then try to “clean up its act” and get back to the grifting.

Just goes to show, sitting in a church does not make you a Christian any more than sitting in a garage makes you a car. These guys call themselves Christians but their behavior belies that description.

I dunno. Jesus preferred the company of whores as well…

Tiffany’s been a great disappointment. I thought she was the only adult child sane enough to hate him.

“Some may say that all the signs were there for a long time before last week,” the statement said. “It’s certainly fair to say that there were questionable comments made, worrying behavior, and inappropriate social media posts, but all the signs were not there until the start of last week.”

“Some may say” is a weak phrase from a weak board. I hope you get some assistance writing your resignation letters.

Who needs “all signs” when “way more than enough signs” have been there for years?

That we know of at any rate.

Imagine combining the toxicity of fundamentalist Christianity with the toxicity of a faculty meeting.

There have unquestionably been people in administration, on the board and on the faculty taking notes and sitting at their grindstone manically sharpening their knives for years waiting for this.

Not so sure about that (Mary M. was most definitely not)…

…but Matthew was a tax collector.

"…but all the signs were not there until the start of last week.”

Translation: We knew he made racist comments, bashed muslims, called concerned parents stupid, lent the University’s prestige in evangelical circles to the worst of Trump’s actions, ran the place as a real-estate racket to enrich himself, berated an SBC leader who criticized him as “nothing more than an employee,” cracked down on any freedom the student newspaper had, and lorded over the faculty like a king, but until last week, we didn’t have full confirmation of all the sexy stuff, so he was good.
