I hope this is a dry run of sorts for when Trump loses in November. Some tantrums and denial up front, followed by slinking out the door while claiming he never wanted to be president anyway.

He went through all the blow in one night then.

Whenever I’ve seen a Liberty U degree on a resume or CV the thought is much more along the lines of Trump Univ than Notre Dame.

Feeling cornered…voyeuristic Falwell acknowledges he is leaving LU after the chaos.

Meanwhile, what others have to say…

Just ONCE I'd like to get on Twitter without being forced to visualize Jerry Falwell Jr. in a compromising sexual act

You know TPM, I could hardly sleep last night because this issue was keeping me awake.:laughing:
Now I know the universe is in harmony again.You can’t imagine the burden that has been lifted off my shoulders. So many thanks.
This totally eliminates all that I heard and seen at the RNC yesterday.
If only Tiny Tim was here to sing his tulip song, I’d be completely fulfilled.

Yesterday I thought about the ramifications of this latest scandal. It should highlight how disingenuous XTian leaders and their political supporters are… but dogma.

It should also be a blow to RNC and Rump but will it? Again, dogma will prevail.

Sometimes it takes two phone calls. Second one was from the guy they call “the Closer”.

Rules? There are no rules.

Values? I decide what’s right.

Republicans, people like Falwell are who you should fear. Not Sleepy Joe Biden. Vote for change in 2020.

Yes, I agree. I encountered someone with Liberty University on his resume at my job, and he turned out to be the most obnoxiously narcissistic person I have ever encountered. I have no idea whether he was any good or not, because he quit the job in the least professional way any of us had ever seen. I would avoid hiring anyone with Liberty University on their resume for many reasons.

“My calling was to use my legal and business expertise to make Liberty University the evangelical version of Notre Dame,” Falwell said.


Hey, life is filled with disappointment.
