Was he forced into the relationship with the Con because the Con and his goons knew the story?

Some serious shit is heading for the Con

(16,168 posts)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.

(24,751 posts)that Falwell might have been blackmailed by the MF or Falwell willingly supports the MF? Either way, these people are deplorable.

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.

(55,377 posts)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.

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