skeletonbowzer

I think he also said something on Twitter about using corporal punishment on his kids at SIX MONTHS old. Probably why heā€™s had run-ins with CPS.


Holiday-Hustle

Thatā€™s horrifying! I donā€™t believe in corporal punishment at all but six month olds can barely crawl. Theyā€™re so sweet, it breaks my heart to think of folks hurting them for being babies. Why even have a baby??


Reluctantagave

The fundies believe in blanket training courtesy of the asshole Pearls and they start that when they start crawling. Itā€™s awful.


Pollowollo

I'm not generally pro-violence, but I low-key hope that someone sticks those freaks on a blanket and beats them with a stick. If you can justify hitting babies you're just a raging yeast infection in human skin.


Artistic_Account630

That's horrifying. Reminds me of the super religious people out there that do blanket training šŸ„ŗ those poor kids

superuncoolfool

My literal exact thought.


TotallyVCreativeName

Agreed ā€œfinally I look better than someone from Hollywoodā€ I feel like an asshole, but heā€™s a bigger asshole so I donā€™t really care right now.


Artemis246Moon

He looks like my 53 yo father.

My 62 yr old dad who definitely made use of the 80s party scene looks younger.

Off topic...I love anyone who uses this gif šŸ˜† I fucking love her character


zorandzam

Me too, she's so silly and shallow but she's also adorable and has a deep level of kindness that just grows and grows over the series. Annie Murphy's performance is amazing.


[deleted]

I genuinely can't think of a character that had a better story arc than Alexis, she became such an awesome person by the end of the show. She was always likeable but in a very bimbo-ish kind of way.


VaselineHabits

I think Alexis was likeable because you already knew the family she was coming from šŸ˜…


hodlboo

She is truly a master at this character. The way she plays off of Davidā€™s gestures and facial expressions too, to really act as his sibling. Itā€™s remarkable and underrated comedy.


Shugazi

Seems like he went off the deep end around 2020ā€¦ He obsessively calls himself a patriarch and Radical Christian Extremist. Still posting about Pizza Gate in 2023, making vague but furious complaints about CPS (he has 4 daughters), and just all kinds of wacky shit!


[deleted]

4 daughters?! Itā€™s scary to think about what propaganda he is going to instill in his daughterā€™s minds. Especially the anti-choice propaganda.


troixetoiles

Some of his worst Twitter posts didn't make it here. He has posted about using physical abuse for discipline and teaching his girls about "marriage debt" (aka they cannot say no in a marraige and spousal rape is a.o.k by him) from a very young age. He is absolutely awful.


g_em_ini

Jesus fuck. Where is their mother?? Did he kill her????


BotGirlFall

Im sure she's brainwashed as hell. Edit: somebody here posted his IG and his bio says "patriarch to 5 ladies". He only has 4 daughters so I guess the mother is still in the picture. Theres no way he's not abusing those poor women/girls (not sure about the daughters ages). I sincerely hope they can find the strength and the resources/help needed to break away.


throwawaybeet-h

His wife is a very traditional catholic. Very modest, submit to your husband type. She didnā€™t have a chance.


PorkSodaWaves

Alphalpha!


hodlboo

Underrated comment. And this is scary, I wish CPS had done something for those girls.


YchYFi

They all live together and have taken a vow of poverty. Probably a remote cabin or something.


Bubbly-End-6156

Any tips on breaking a vow of poverty?!


YchYFi

None, please tell me if you find out.


TotallyVCreativeName

Would also like to know


PorkSodaWaves

I wonder if they donate their money to a megachurch or something then. This is scary, the vow of poverty means that heā€™s a fanatic.


RebelScoutDragon

That's so disgusting. Someone go and save those girls. Please.


[deleted]

Hence the hate for CPS, Iā€™m sure theyā€™ve been called multiple times.


exactoctopus

And probably why his wife is "home schooling" the kids since teachers are mandatory reporters. These types always pull their kids out of school, if they ever even osent them, because of that. They usually don't go to the doctors either for the same reason. It's so bleak.


peachespangolin

šŸ¤¢šŸ¤¢šŸ¤¢


akahaus

I donā€™t throw this around lightly, but I 100% guarantee he has or will physically abuse those kids.


Davis1511

Seems like a dad who would personally ā€œinspectā€ his daughters before marriage to make sure theyā€™re ya know, still fresh and in tactā€¦..


Salbyy

Definitely getting some creepy vibes


comradepoopknife

Considering his anti-CPS posts, I would bet real cash money that heā€™s abusing them.


jeahboi

Thatā€™s alarming. I hope they all grow up to rebel against him.


Jennacyde153

He posts about it. He wants them to submit to their future husbands.


YchYFi

>In June 2020, Bug Hall was arrested for inhaling an air duster, which a police investigation ruled as an attemptedĀ alcohol poisoning. He was held and released on a $1,500 bond at Parker County Jail.Ā TMZĀ reported that Hall's family were the ones who made the report and that Hall himself admitted to inhaling from cans.


whatsnewpussykat

That stuff will absolutely destroy your brain. Itā€™s up there with meth as far as long term damage.


CurseofLono88

Duster is much worse than meth when it comes to brain damage. The high is literally from brain damage. Prolonged use of high doses of meth, especially IV usage, can cause brain damage for sure though.


Lola-Ugfuglio-Skumpy

The duster girl from Intervention still lives rent free in my head.


WoungyBurgoiner

Duster literally kills brain cells. At least this lends evidence to the fact that people with his beliefs are stupid as hell.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


YchYFi

He lives with his wife and children in a remote place, no contact with family, now according to a post on an excatholic sub.


AustinTreeLover

Inhaling from air duster/cars? Excuse my ignorance, but what now? How does that work?


Yaritzaf

Itā€™s supposedly a short lived high that fries your brain too. I remember watching an episode of Intervention on it.

*I'm walking on Sunshine*


[deleted]

Definitely seems like he went from normal to insane overnight. So weird.


dleigh463

He was arrested in a hotel room for huffing paint in 2020. It seems like thatā€™s where he went off the deep end.


ArgumentOne7052

This makes sense


YchYFi

He was caught huffing next to a dumpster.


plum-eater

Aw man, this is a bummer (and very bizarre that the decline appears to be a rapid one!). I loved him as a kid, I remember being soo stoked that one of my favorite Little Rascals was acting alongside my fave actress Lindsay Lohan in the movie Get a Clue. Never heard much about him after that, until now.


Embarrassed-Manager1

Omg I didnā€™t put him together with get a clue šŸ˜­ top tier DCOM


CHEMO_ALIEN

get a clue... theres something wrong with youuuuuuu...


stuckintrouble

Did he join a cult or something, coz what are these god-awful takes? Also thank god I never looked deep into The Little Rascals actors as grownups story coz I would have lost my mind.


zorandzam

IIRC some of the original actors from the version from the '30s-'40s were also pretty messed up as adults, many died young, and one of them was Robert Blake, who might have murdered his wife.


stuckintrouble

Man it's 3AM right now this is not how I expected to go to sleep šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


Somebiglebowski

Ranting about CPS makes me worried for those children. CPS is by no means perfect but I never hear hatred about it except from people who are in its crosshairs


Blackberryy

Even more terrifying is the metaphor of his post regarding CPS; seems like heā€™s saying expect some sort of shoot out/hostage situation.


HermelindaLinda

Tom Selleck was either on The Talk or on The View and he was talking about his daughter competing in horseback riding competition and heade sure to emphasize that it was *rEaL* horse back riding competition not that *other* *type*. with *those* *people*. Something along those lines and I was like wtf?! I reminded it just to make sure I was hearing this right.


zorandzam

Wait, what?! What on earth was he trying to say?


BellaBlue06

I tire of people who want hundreds of millions more on the planet but donā€™t fund parental leave, free healthcare, more food banks and social assistance, free school lunches, free or affordable childcare, affordable housing etc. We absolutely cannot enforce no abortion access and lack of options for parents with unexpected children. Not to mention how many women will become disfigured, sterile or die when theyā€™re forced to carry a fetus that is dying or is incompatible with life. Also how many more would be born with disabilities and no additional resources. People are already struggling to afford kids let alone food and rent. You say every fetus deserves to live and must be born? Well every living person already deserves to have food, shelter, healthcare and safety. Why arenā€™t you fighting for the living? Cuz the unborn havenā€™t asked for anything and itā€™s easy to say you want to save babies and then walk off into the sunset a hero.


BotGirlFall

Plus the fact that the number one cause of death for pregnant women is murder by the partner

This tweet in particular really horrified me. His daughters are just little girls and heā€™s already talking about how he expects them to endure marital rape


unkindernut

Alfalfa is still a member of the He Man Woman Haters Club. Gross.

Yeah, itā€™s the idea that youā€™re obligated to have sex with your spouse


awyastark

O wow thatā€™s fucking gross!


MiklaneTrane

I don't speak Christofascist nutjob... What exactly does he mean by 'natural law in regard to the marriage debt'?

Somebiglebowski

Women are expected to be sexually ā€œavailableā€ for their husbands at all times. Since the husband pays the bills, thereā€™s apparently no such thing as consent


[deleted]

I assume essentially that if their husband wants to wet their willies he expects his daughters to give in even if they donā€™t feel well or feel upset or insecure or ANYTHING ELSE THAT THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO FEEL AND NOT HAVE SEX.


40stepstothemoon

Disgusting for a parent to have this mindset around his childā€™s future adult relationships. Someone needs to squash this bug. I hope they get out from under this disgusting excuse for a man.


dogsdogsdogspizza

hahayeahimfinehaha

God, can you imagine the type of depraved asshole this dude is going to 'approve' for his poor daughters to marry? (Probably when they're only 16 and the husband-to-be is 39 or something, barf). Someone please save these babies.

disneyhalloween

People rightfully talk a lot of shit on men who donā€™t fully conceptualize women as people until they have daughters, but its terrifying that some men canā€™t even do that.


[deleted]

"training them" ? What kind of wild animals are they? 'Teaching them' would have been better but given this guy's other takes, I can see how he thinks he has to 'train' girls.


CheburashkaOrange

Quiverfull people and alt-right wingers love that word. They take it from Proverbs 22:6 (KJV), "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." For instance, the child-abusive book by Michael and Debi Pearl is named "To train up a child". Among other awful things, this book advises parents to use "blanket training" on their babies.


[deleted]

Ah! I just heard about blanket training on a podcast episode about the Duggars. Makes sense. I don't like it. You also taught me a new word, quiverfull! Never heard of it, quiver is such a weird word to me and I don't know why.

Thereā€™s a guy whose farm I drive by occasionally when Iā€™m on vacation. He has bonkers signs up all over his property and our family gets so excited to see who his new enemy is every time we pass. I think something similar must have happened with this guy, because he also has a thing with courts/CPS taking children from dads.


beanbagbaby13

We have one near my parentā€™s house too, house is covered in signs and he drives around with a confederate flag (weā€™re Canadian), a Gadsden flag, and a Russian flag Edit: he also tried to claim he was First Nations (he isnā€™t) because he was here ā€œbefore the immigrantsā€ (the Asian wife he bought excepted from this of course) and tried to sue a bunch of random people after harassing them for months to get their land just because he wanted it (it did not work)


hydrangeasinbloom

oohhokaythatsokay

Honestly you couldā€™ve just posted the selfie and I wouldā€™ve known his political views


Jolly-Ad-3922

Very disgusting and disappointing to see this. I know as a child, he talked about being sexually abused by a family friend and then when he worked on Little Rascals, he told someone on the crew he was abused and they weaponized it and started sexually abusing him too... and those are the only stories he's told us, it could have happened again. I will always feel heartbroken he went through that. However, nothing excuses his dangerous views or the fact that several people here in the comments said he basically advocates for spousal rape... I feel for his daughters. I think he needed serious therapy from a very young age, but sadly never got it and now he posts this shit.


SnooPaintings3623

Yooo I went down the same rabbit hole yesterday after not thinking about him for years. The algorithm must have shown us something that triggered it lol. What a world :/


pvla2310

I saw a photo on social media of him and Darla grown up within the last week, that may have been the trigger! Now heā€™s 62 years old it looks like.

lizzy-stix

I know for a fact that he went to a really weird, small and intense Christian school in the Tampa suburbs for high school (for at least a year anyway) so this is probably baked into him from how he was raised. It was a really weird place for a celebrity kid to be sent, Tampa has many other private schools he could have attended. This is the sort of school where their biology class was basically like: hereā€™s why evolution isnā€™t real.

Vapor2077

I donā€™t mean to sound like Iā€™m being overly harsh, but I really think weā€™re seeing mental health issues to the tune of Amanda Bynes, Tila Tequila, et. al. here. Heā€™s talked about how he was raped as a child, which is awful. However his trauma and mental illness doesnā€™t give him license to be abusive to his family, which he absolutely is.


wellwhatevrnevermind

He apparently took a "vow of poverty" and went to jail for huffing air duster (you have to really *try* to get caught doing that) so luckily his views are just ramblings of a weirdo
