Looks like the Jerry Falwell Jr. Unzipped story may have legs.

[yellowcanine]

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/08/internet-stunned-by-now-deleted-photo-of-jerry-falwell-jr-with-his-pants-unzipped/

A Houston Chronicle reporter posted what appears to be a screenshot from Liberty University President Jerry Falwell, Jr’s Instagram account, and it’s going viral on social media. The unconfirmed photo appears to be of Falwell Jr., with his arm around a young woman, his pants unzipped with underwear showing. He is holding a glass.

“More vacation shots,” the caption reads. “Lots of good friends visited us on the yacht. I promised that’s only black water in my glass. It was a prop only.”

Robert Downen, whose bio says he reports on “All things faith/religion” for the Houston Chronicle, tweeted out the screenshot.

How long before Falwell pulls a "Jimmy Swaggert" and confesses his sins all the while blaming it on being drunk from the "black water"

[soothsayer]

1. Wasn't it a "Trailer Park Boys" themed party?

[Traildogbob]

24. Damn I miss Bubbles

Every person on that show were geniuses next to Trump et al. Remember when we could laugh at stupid, and not feel our lives were threatened by it?

[yellowcanine]

71. Bubbles was a little scary when he got "frisky"

[Traildogbob]

72. 😳🤓

[OAITW r.2.0]

34. Falwell was playing Julian rather well.

Of course, Julian had a rum and coke in hand....

[moreland01]

39. And . .

Julian was ripped, had massive guns and never once showed his stomach or had his pants unzipped.

So funny to me that Falwell thinks the drink is the thing that he has to justify LOL!

[icymist]

60. Trailer trash on his yacht?

Uh huh.

[neohippie]

84. I give him a pass for that. It's just dopey

[no_hypocrisy]

2. Truth told, I wholly expected this photo to surface, but with Don Jr., not Falwell.

Not to say that I'm not delighted anyway . . . . . .

44. I was raised right wing fundamentalist in the 70's and 80's and I remember

I was raised right wing fundamentalist in the 70's and 80's and I remember a Christian school that made clear that any young lady wearing a bikini and not a ONE piece bathing suit would be paddled (as an adult I shudder to think that there were probably some hoping some pretty young woman would do this so that they could spank her), ministers wore collar shirts and if they wore shorts (at summer camp, for instance), they were collar shirts, modest and their shirts were tucked in. If they wore a t-shirt it would only be one with a slogan (i.e., "Christian Summer Camp 1977&quot .

What this tells me is that many right wing fundie nutriders are dropping any pretense of personal moral standards (for themselves) and making clear what has always, imho, been true: IT IS ALL ABOUT PERSONAL WEALTH AND POWER!

[UpInArms]

52. It's merely a very thin veneer

now, it has slipped off ... revealing the darkness that was always lurking beneath

[Jamastiene]

57. Did they have the rule about a boy's hair touching his ears being a no no too?

They had that rule at the Christian school I went to growing up. Girls had to wear skirts or dresses and the hem could not come above the bottom of the knee. If you were showing knees, you were beaten for it and expelled. I outgrew a dress by a quarter of an inch and ended up beaten for it and sent home, expelled. I hated that school.

[artemisia1]

73. Probably. They took any excuse (pretext) to beat children. /nt

59. Yacht, farm, pool boy, photos, hotel deals: all part of being a right wing fundie

Falwell Settles Court Case Over ‘Pool Boy’ Business Deal

MIAMI — A settlement has been reached in a Florida court case over a disputed business deal that resulted from an unusual friendship that Jerry Falwell Jr. and his wife struck with a former pool attendant at a Miami Beach hotel, court records show.

As part of the settlement, which was filed Friday in Miami federal court, Mr. Falwell will pay an undisclosed sum to a young man who claimed he had been offered an ownership stake in a gay-friendly youth hostel, the Miami Hostel, that Mr. Falwell and his wife, Becki, bought in 2013.

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-jerry-falwell-jr-miami-beach-pool-boy-evangelical-explained-850380/

In May 2018, Buzzfeed News published a story about a lawsuit involving Falwell. The lawsuit revealed a bizarre relationship between the evangelical leader, his wife, and a former pool attendant at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach. It involves private planes, an exorbitant loan to start a business, a mysterious set of compromising photos, and Michael Cohen. It also may have had something to do with Falwell’s decision to endorse Trump in 2016,

Falwell has denied the existence of the photos — or at least that they’re of him — but the Herald reviewed three of them, which show Falwell’s “wife in various stages of undress.” When they were taken or by whom is not known, but, according to the Herald, two of them appear to have been taken at the Falwells’ farm in Virginia, and one at the Cheeca Lodge.

[yellowcanine]

69. Your title sounds like a Tromp cognitive test.

Extra points for the right order.

[KS Toronado]

46. Clicking on picture leads to Instagram, clicking on that pic leads to their faces being shown

[robbob]

78. Wow. He has the dead eyes

of a serial killer.

[TexasBushwhacker]

81. They BOTH have their pants unzipped and their shirts pulled up!

I don't know why he mentioned "black water". I would have assumed it was a brown soft drink, like Coke or Dr. Pepper.

[Me.]

3. Yacht?

[Happy Hoosier]

9. But of course.

This is all one giant scam. Always has been. It's way he loves that disgrace in the White House. They are birds of a feather.

[czarjak]

14. WHAT yacht?

[Me.]

21. The One Quoted Above

“More vacation shots,” the caption reads. “Lots of good friends visited us on the yacht. I promised that’s only black water in my glass. It was a prop only.”

[Traildogbob]

29. Of course

Yachts. Like the ones Jesus and His preaching gang of 12 had. Can’t speak the word of God without some spending cash, and meal, drink, entertainment tax deductions.

[Mike 03]

4. Falwell makes a lot of social media mistakes and his attempts to cover them up and

explain them are simply ridiculous. He does seem to be reckless. It's hard not to wonder about an alcohol issue.

I'd like to know the timestamp when he posted that picture. If it was late night/early morning, etc... After a few drinks (or a lot of drinks) people start to feel invincible and throw caution to the wind and do frankly stupid things.

Does he have an Open Marriage, where it's okay for him to sleep around with other women and Pool Boys? It's just very bizarre for a Christian leader to behave like this (or, I mean, so publicly).

[Ninga]

5. Good grief...

🤦?♀️

[Maru Kitteh]

6. Apparently, it has three

Although one is merely vestigial, at best.

[Nevilledog]

27. *snicker*

[niyad]

40. You nearly owed me a keyboard!

[Captain_New_York]

8. "Black Water" ???

On a yacht, “Black Water” is from the toilets. “Grey Water” is just about everything else like shower, etc.

[yellowcanine]

19. No kidding - this is what I thought when I read the post.

https://www.blackwaterusa.com/

Somehow it seems to fit in a strange way.

https://www.foxnews.com/faith-values/falkirk-liberty-university-jesus-constitution-christian-think-tank

Liberty University President Jerry Falwell, Jr. and Charlie Kirk spoke to Fox News Monday about their new think tank on the heels of an op-ed in the Atlantic which--based on theologian N.T. Wright's opinion--argued Christianity in the United States is "in crisis."

Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, approached Falwell months ago about the "Falkirk Center for Faith and Liberty," which kicked off Saturday as a non-profit at the private Christian university in Lynchburg, Va. as a way to go on "offense" against increasing attacks on Judeo-Christian values.

DeVos to address Turning Point USA
By MICHAEL STRATFORD 06/06/2019 10:00 AM EDT
With help from Kimberly Hefling

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is speaking to a group of young conservatives tonight in what's at least her second appearance at a Turning Point USA event.

Falwell-Turning Point USA-Betsy DeVos-Erik Prince (Blackwater)

[soothsayer]

85. Ha! There is black drinking water

I’ve had it. It’s not great but it’s potable

[Siwsan]

10. WTH is 'black water'?

Had he not written that, most would likely have assumed it was some sort of cola.

[backscatter712]

66. Probably whiskey & coke, rum & coke, or maybe some other cocktail

Funny how as a televangelist "man of the cloth", he has to act as if he doesn't actually drink the stuff.

Sure pal, seems legit...

[backscatter712]

68. Where have I seen this movie before? Oh yeah, a million times.

Jimmy Swaggart, Jim Bakker, Ted Haggard, etc. fucking etc.

I think I hear a song coming on!

[shanti]

74. This?

[Siwsan]

75. So, he was being pretentious, along with being pervy?

[shanti]

76. It was a thing a few years ago

but never really made it off the ground.

[soothsayer]

86. Yep I've had it

[Botany]

11. Cum to Jesus

That sure looks like "a working girl" in the Huffington Post piece.

[neohippie]

16. I believe she's a married friend of his daughter

From things I saw online yesterday, that girl is a married friend of his daughter from Liberty U

[Botany]

17. Good Lord that might be even worse.

What a sleaze ball.

[neohippie]

18. Here is the girl

Here's the girl (one of his daughter's friends): https://www.instagram.com/kathleen_may_stone/

And her husband https://www.instagram.com/sam_rock_stone/

[ZZenith]

82. Looks like she's a "certified personal trainer" at Liberty University since 2018

She’s moving up in the world.

[Arkansas Granny]

20. So, why are her pants also unzipped?

[neohippie]

23. As if I would have any idea

I don't know why both of their pants are unzipped.

I don't know these people, and I wouldn't associate with them if I did

[Celerity]

32. too filled up with the 'holy spirit' to zip 'em tight

creampie jeebus at the ready

[Celerity]

64. now that I have seen the video, she is preggers

[Skittles]

77. I am curious

....why are they both unzipped

[Cracklin Charlie]

12. Are those his pants?

They seem like they would better fit the young lady.

Where’s Mrs. Fall-well?

[redstatebluegirl]

15. On their other yacht with her friends.

[NonPC]

28. Yacht Anchored off Epstein Island

Could be something in the atmosphere or water there?

[3catwoman3]

22. Interesting observation/question. Those pants do look as if...

...he might not be able to zip them without cutting off his circulation.

[murielm99]

36. Are they her pants, too?

[CaptYossarian]

13. When you spend all day pissing on the Bible and the Constitution, you're likely to

forget to put junk away.

He's a pig like his degenerate old man was.

[demosincebirth]

25. Her britches are unbuttoned, too. I wonder where they're coming from?

From the lower bunks, maybe?

[Jetheels]

26. Maybe the black water was used to paint the

moustache and goatee?

[LexVegas]

30. Apparently this is from a Trailer Park Boys themed party. nt

[Upthevibe]

31. I don't know if any of you have seen the fantastic T.V. show...

The Righteous Gemstones (Danny McBride) but for the next season all Danny and the other writers will need to do is just rip sh*t out of the stories really happening. This picture is just beyond......no words (I already had my say on twitter when I first saw it).

[dalton99a]

33. Kick

[louis-t]

48. Can't wait for the apologists to say "IT'S PHOTOSHOPPED!!"

They'll start analyzing it, "That hand doesn't even look like his hand!!!1!! That's someone else's head put on his wife's body!!1!!1 He was holding a bible and they stuck a glass in his hand!!1!!"

[greenjar_01]

53. The pinky sliding down for the flesh feel is the real ubercreep move here

[AmericanCanuck]

35. Is anyone surprised?

The more pious they pretend to be, the more morally corrupt they are.

[onetexan]

37. i worked with one professed Christian 'deacon" who slept with the secretary and had 2 kids w her

his wife divorced him & his older kids refused to speak to him. Hypocrisy is common with these holier-than-thou evangelical conservatives.

42. If you're engaging in an activity that could bring your entire grift crashing down,

why would you A) take photographs and B) post those photographs on social media??

Mind boggling.

43. Drank Black Water In The '80's Had To Get My Church To Pay For 17 Paternity Tests

They took the money from the "Save the Children" fund so it was all good.

We got your number, dude. We suspected we did a long time ago. Thanks for the confirmation!
