I have to imagine that Sarah Palin is fit to be tied that her plan to keep her attempts to intimidate Levi in court without media scrutiny have fallen apart.
Now that the media, and of course the blogs, are focused on this case every little nasty move that Sarah and her hired stooge, Thomas Van Flein, pull will be open to allow the public to see how the Palins deal with those who do not let them have their way.
The blogs, and Rachel Maddow, have already opened to scrutiny the possible devious intent of Bristol Palin's LLC. And when the Palin-bots decided to vent their frustration that Queen Ester's plans were foiled by harassing the judges who are not willing to kiss Palin's ass, that information went right up on the Huffington Post.
At this point I would hope that Sarah, and her tribe, would see that this thing is just going to get even uglier and make the decision to simply allow the two kids to sit down in mediation and work out a deal that is in their child's best interests.
Look as much fun as it will be to play "whack-a-mole" with Van Flein and his attempts to attack Levi, I am much more concerned with Levi, Bristol, and Tripp. This circus is simply not in the best interest of these three kids, and let us not forget that Bristol and Levi have many, many years of parenting in front or them. And take it from me, that will be MUCH easier without the scars of an ugly custody battle reminding them how much they dislike each other.
So why don't you STFU and let the younguns work out their problems ?
ReplyDeleteOh, I forgot, you don't know how to STFU.
After listening to this clip my first thought was, Levi may have to spill the beans on Sarah. Secondly, Rex Butler, may have to pull some legal maneuvers that would expose Sarah, for what she really is. A fraud.
ReplyDeleteI think they'll settle now and try to blame that on the liberal media and those who made this political or whatever nonsense they can come up with, but I kind of don't see how they can bail without looking like.... quitters? Oh wait, they don't care. "Victimhood" is so much better!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gryphen for being one of the people to put the spotlight on Sarah Palin and her accomplices (excluding all of the young people, as you seem to agree - they are victims as far as I am concerned, at least at this point in time). Without the pressure of this spotlight, this constant, brilliant scrutiny that your blog and others have provided, she would be doing business as usual. You and other bloggers are providing her with the real-world supervision she required, long ago. The comment at the top reveals that in this case, at least, you have most definitely struck a nerve! Bravo, and keep it up.
ReplyDeleteThis just keeps getting better and better. Imagine all the skeletons that are bound to come out of the closet and parade around in public if the Palins don't wise up drop this! Too bad for Granny Palin that she couldn't just sit down and STFU instead of allowing her lame brained lackeys to encourage her brainwashed cult to harass judges. I have a feeling that foolish tactic is going to end up backfiring BIG time!
ReplyDeleteAnon 6:24- What's the matter little troll? Sarah's plan didn't go like she wanted it to, so blame Gryphen. I suggest to send your little message to Sarah's facebook readers, no one here is going to STFU.
ReplyDeleteThat "legal analyst" sure didn't do his homework.
ReplyDeleteCalled the judge "he", didn't refer to the fact that the reason the judge refused closed proceedings was that Bristol's lawyer failed to file the petition on time, stated that neither parent was "emancipated" when Levi is living away from the parental home.
"Gah"! This guy is going on like some expert and hasn't even bothered to research the actual facts of the situation.
Gryphen: Totally agree. We all know that if SP kept her nose out of the whole custody thing, people would definitely support Levi and Bristol working things out for themselves.
ReplyDeleteThe hairdresser and the DJ have chosen to harrass the judge (BTW the "hairdressers" Twitter has vanished) in the case. The DJ gave out phone numbers on his "show" last night, recommending people call and harrass him. This I believe is a violation of the FCC Rules.
Fomenting violence can backfire. SP is NOT an interested party legally in the custody case. The kids should have a chance to work it out in their own way with NO interference from ANYONE.
Since we all know OCD Palin cannot keep her fingers out of the pie - she will be watched.
Trip IS a political football/commodity, just like his "uncle".
ReplyDeleteSarah and her crowd are trying to show the mayhem that surrounds the little celebrity, Tripp, as an argument to keep the trial closed.
ReplyDeleteWhat they have succeeded in doing is showing that Tripp, living in the Palin household, lives in a world of madness-- a world that would exploit the little kid for any purpose.
The judge will base final ruling on what is best for the child. If Sarah and Bristol do not denounce the over-the-top madness, it means that they do support mob rule and using Tripp as The Football. The crazies that Burke stirred up make Levi's case for open court hearings and custody. Thanks, guys.
I've come to the conclusion that Sarah Palin is national politics' answer to Tonya Harding. I expect that by the end of this new decade that Palin will have stooped to mud wrestling midgets, have engaged in drunken brawls with family members, maybe even racked up a few DUIs, and hired a posse of feckless morons to break the kneecaps of her perceived enemies. Better watch out Gryphen.
ReplyDeleteThe Wan Flea has GOT to be sorry that his traveling freak show will be on display for all to see.
Having gone through a nasty battle against an ugly, vindictive ex-wife myself (not my ex-wife but the mother of my stepdaughter), I find this case is pushing a lot of my buttons. I've no doubt there are lots of fathers, mothers, stepmothers, grandparents, aunts and uncles out there who have battled through similar cases and are having a similar reaction. Those who put the best interests of their child first do everything they can to keep both of a child's parents in its life. Bristol Palin, you are selfish, weak, and pathetic. And Levi, you need to grow a pair and take Sarah down once and for all, for the good of the nation and the salvation of your son. He's in a toxic environment surrounded by sick people.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe this is her plan & she just wanted it to "look" as if she didn't want her name in the press. If she had really valued her privacy, she would have hired a different attorney for her daughter. As I recall it was the attorneys' names associated with anonymous clients that tipped everyone off. Either that was a miscalulation, or it unfolded as she intended, in the "any press is good press category."
ReplyDeleteAlways love comments from talking head lawyers that do NOT know facts of case... this clown and Nancy Grace are just a few examples of this.
ReplyDeleteThe end of the video may be the crux of this "custody" crap...
If you stop talking bad about Sarah and don't write a tell all book.. then you may get visits and joint custody.
Sarah and Bristol have already denied visits between Levi and his sons. The only way to stop this is court ordered joint custody and set visit schedules.
Glad this is in the open.. if it was closed there would be six witnesses all swearing that Levi was an axe murderer, that he tazered Tripp already and that he had child porn on his computer.
Sarah.. enjoy the "open and transparent" you always talk about, but never do.
KABOOM!!
ReplyDeleteThe sound of Palin's head exploding!
Thanks Gryphen for all you do... exposing these grifters.
Sarah operates best behind closed doors (so much for transparency) so I'm glad for Levi that this will be public. She's a meddling, interfering granny who is more concerned about getting even than the overall welfare of her grandson. Levi is a young father who wants to be a part of his son's life and clearly you could see he loves his baby. Now if Levi didn't want to step up to the plate and be a father, you know damn well we'd be hearing about that. She's a very vindictive, small-minded person who cares about herself and image only. God, I can't stand this woman and I am a woman also, too.
ReplyDeleteKnowing that Bristol was filing for sole custody, Sarah intentionally told Oprah and her audience that she thought Levi's pictures in Playgirl was "porn". She is cunning but not smart and the only transparency I see with her is what a conniving, lying b*tch she really is. You can't trust her at all.
ReplyDeleteA comment towards the end of the clip caught my attention in a way similar comments passed right by me...
ReplyDeletethis appears to be a case of Levi vs. s'error.
For whatever reason, I keep thinking about this "iceberg" that's been promised. About something big that Levi has on s'error. Soooooooo... in keeping with this blog's premise...
is it possible that there's a blood relationship between Triggie and Levi?
After all... there have been those stories about s'error making inappropriate, sexually-suggestive comments to or about 14-y.o. boys. ... just sayin' !!
The Palins and Palinbots are so freaking stupid and ignorant.
ReplyDeleteWhen you file a lawsuit it becomes a PUBLIC matter in the PUBLIC COURTS.
They are a special kind of stoopid!
I looked at SarahPac's spending for the last reporting period. It looks like about 75% of the money they spent went to friends of the PAC.

Gotta love those Palin family values!
ReplyDeleteWhatever happened to shared custody? You know when there is both the mommy and the daddy involved in the child's life.
The Palins started 100% of this. Now they want to blame others? That's rich.
Just now checked and the "Barracuda Brigade for Our American Girl! 2012" no longer shows up on FaceBook.
ReplyDeleteDid somebody just lose their 1st Amendment rights? Ohme, ohmy...
Isn't it awful that SP can't publicly incite violence, create chaos in the judicial system, influence sitting judges AND show the world how important she is - while butting into a case that isn't about her? What IS this world coming to? Tsk, tsk.
So interesting that a person who's "not emancipated", per the "legal expert" has her own LLC! Only in Real America, I guess!
ReplyDeleteSharon in FLA...many people reported this Facebook page for it's threatening and harassing tone, encouraging its followers to commit criminal contempt. But, no worry, its saved forever on the other blogs.
ReplyDeleteI am wondering who would actually award full custody to Bristol and this wacked out family of attention seeking fame whores who pimp put their special needs child to make money. It is sad, really. Bristol already got paid big bucks from People Mag by posing with Tripp for a spread back in May.
@Sharon in Florida 8:20AM
ReplyDeleteThe Barracuda Brigade Facebook page is still up and the Tripp Football post is still there.
I thought both guests made very good points, especially the psychologist who said the real issues are not being dealt with, and that it's taken the tone of a nasty divorce between Levi and Scarah.
ReplyDeleteWhat the bots fail to realize is that Van Flein did NOT present a good enough reason to keep the proceedings private. A judge is there to RULE on an argument, and he didn't come up with a good enough argument. Period. If they have a problem with that, they should take it to Van Flein. And their vitriol against Levi is going to be very hurtful and confusing to Tripp when he's older.
Like you, Gryphen, I have personal experience with contentious custody disputes. When all is said and done, it's never about which parent is "better" or "right" because a child needs to be able to love, and be loved by, both parents. AND grandparents, and aunts and uncles and cousins. The more the merrier.
In my opinion the key to the judge ruling against the closed case was Rex Butler stating that every case, i.e. domestic violence etc., reveals dirty laundry and therefore by closing the Palin case would set a precedent of closing all cases. No judge wants to set that precedent.
ReplyDeleteThe Palin fans make this all about Palin, when it's really a much larger issue.
Interesting point, anniebgood.
ReplyDeleteAs far as custody, I'd say the judge will expect to see tax returns from both parents as evidence of financial fitness, and wouldn't they have to be presented to determine a child support payment? Bet neither Bristol nor Levi filed for 2008 because they were probably listed as dependents on their parents' returns.
So I hope their accountants are getting their 2009 returns done and filed ASAP so the proceedings in this custody 'battle', initiated - let me repeat it again and again - by Bristol not Levi, can be over with as soon as possible.
That is one thing I can say with certainty IS best for all involved and especially the child, that the joint custody/child support payment/visitation schedule agreement be reached quickly.
To comment above - the Alaska

ReplyDeleteReally! It's still up. I'll try again. TY.
Virginia Voter - yeah I know it's saved forever. Isn't the internet fantastic!! Not like the old days when people could get away with anything anytime. Now we've got videos, screen shots, not to mention heroic bloggers...makes life tough for liars. LOL
And, before I have to go do some real work, a tinfoil hat theory:
ReplyDeleteA certain lawyer has lunch with certain AK bloggers and finds them to be decent, honest, well-meaning human beings. This causes said lawyer to question the motivations of now not just one but two of his clients. He knows certain things are in the works that the bloggers do not, at the time, know about. He views what he knows has already begun under the new prism of perspective that the lunch has afforded him.
Things heat up, he gets really busy, and - oopsie - forgets to file certain important paperwork in time.
I'm not suggesting either incompetence or illegality here. I'm suggesting an actual Freudian Slip.
If you work around Crazy, it is going to rub off on you.
Speaking of crazy, I told you this theory was exactly that. Do I really believe it myself? Not sure.
Sarah has ALLOWED the harassment of the Judges to remain on her OFFICIAL site. That now makes her 'involved' as more than a loving Grandmother; I hope this is taken into consideration, because those 'fans' are part of the 'environment' that Tripp will be raised in.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say that I have completely given up following Doomer Porn (end of the world forums) because this is just so much more entertaining. Still a disaster for 2012, but not TEOTWAWKI.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gryph!
MavinM, Custody and support are two very separate issues. Family court judge will set support after custody ruling, but support has no impact on custody. Most states now (not sure about Alaska) have a support calculator (very unobjective) where income and time is plugged in, thus setting support. Levi WILL end up with some custody and Sarahs circus brigade will not help Bristol at all.
ReplyDeleteI agree whole heartedly that Tripp needs to see and be with both parents, that is the best thing for him. I hope the judge orders a GAL for Tripp. Too bad this all could have been settled with a simple "sit down between Bristol and Levi to come up with a proposal to set before the presiding judge.
As far as the "media football" agruement from Serrors cult, I find that if they really feel that way--then why aren't they up in arms about Trigg's treatment???
The legal expert noted that this custody case was looking more and more like an ugly divorce between $P... and Levi Johnston. Check.
ReplyDeleteI cringed to hear Sherry Johnston referred to as "notorious." I posted a comparison of Sherry's one slip in diverting drugs, and what happened to her, and to another blonde middle-aged mother with a blatant, long history of diversion--Cindy McCain--over at palingates:
http://palingates.blogspot.com/2010/01/sherrys-chronic-pain-and-what-didnt.html
A question that doubtless these experienced family court judges are asking themselves is, "Would both grandmas help out with Tripp? Do they have the time, interest, and energy to devote to a little child?"
We've all seen how $P lugs Trig around like a sack of potatoes before handing him off to a member of her entourage. Trig scores points with her base, more than Tripp does. Would $P have two minutes to focus on an active toddler according to HIS NEEDS, one whose father she despises, if the cameras weren't rolling?
I hope Sarah will do the right thing (no I am not smoking anything) and wise up, get out of this and PROVE that she has the best interest of Tripp at heart. But, she won't....
ReplyDeleteYou would think that Van Flea would grow a pair and tell her as the family's legal expert to STFU, because every time she opens her mouth, or tweets, or has RM post something on her FB, she is only making matters worse. But, he won't...
Bristol, if you had an ounce of decency you would do what is in the best interest of your child instead of following your mother's role model. But, you won't...
That leaves Levi. I wish he would just come out with whatever the REAL truth is. And, he just might...
Here's hoping he will. Otherwise, I really don't think any of us can imagine how ugly this is going to get. And while it provides fodder for bloggers and those of us who post daily on what can only be described as mesmerizing to say the least, we all know that is not what is best. But then again, it's not up to us. Sarah Palin, I know you are reading all this because we know you cannot help yourself. Try, just this once to do the right thing.
Gryphen,
ReplyDeleteYour last paragraph sums it it very nicely as to WHAT would be best, but we know that " GrandMa " is NEVER going to let that happen.
She is like an elephant ( NO.. I was not referencing to her legs/thighs pics), BUT she never forgets. To this day she is STILL fighting with Katie Couric. Childish MEAN girls won't ever let it go. Hopefully Levi realizes that.
BTW :Maybe all of us and You should always refer to Her in your stories and headlines as " GrandMa ".. New Years Rule..? Because you know " GrandMa Palin " HATES it.
Isn't it hysterically funny that Eddie Burke is complaining about all the people excersising their free speech rights . . . by calling and harrassing the beehive lady?
ReplyDelete"No, no, you are supposed to harrass judges and librals, not good people like me."
Goes both ways, dork.
I agree, GranMa or Granny Palin it is..
ReplyDeleteWhat else can we do about the Facebook threats to the judges? These palinbots are so incredibly ignorant! Judges rule based on LAW, period. They are all as self-involved and one note as Sarah!
ReplyDeleteAnyhow I feel that Sarah is breaking laws or at minimum behaving unethically by encoraging violence and harrassment. I know Celtic Diva reported this, but can't all of us report Eddie Burke, Jessica Beehive, Sarah Palin and anyone else encouraging Harrassment, which often leads to violence to the Alaskan FBI, police, FCC etc?? How about the state and federal attorney general?
I am sick of Sarah and her evilness. The woman is sick and evil and needs to be sopped (yes shut up Sarah). Sarah thinks only liberals can't stand her- she so thick headed she doesn't even see how low class she is! Reagan would be turning over in his grave at her constant comparisons of herself to Reagan. How ridiculous. The Reagans had class and would never have condoned harrassment of public officers OR berating of the elected President of the US
Sarah, Eddie Burke, Jessica : they are not patriots, they are unAmerican and don't respect the law, the office of the president or anything that gets in the way of Sarahs advancements politically and professionally. Harrassing judges, demeaning the president, blaming and not accepting person rsponsibilities, avoidance of paying taxes through setting up LLCs. Are these the acts of American patriots???? No, these are acts of selfishness, greed, immorality. If I were a judge and was shown that facebook and other statements by Sarah, I would never place a child into such a dysfunctional sick home.
Sarah..... The court already knows about the birth dates. Big big mistake. You better get on your knees and face your lies and sins Sarah. Everything you say and do is a lie. Is that what Jesus taught?
What is the possibility that Van Flein has other matters regarding Sarah that are much more serious, and he was not concentrating on the custody thing. She must stamp her foot, demand that he takes care of this and that, send threatening letters, I think that Van Flein has a full time job just keep up with Sarah's demands and problems.
ReplyDeleteDo you know if he has other clients?
What is that strange clip around 2:40 in the CBS segment that appears to show Levi? It looks like he is preparing to bungee jump off a tall building wearing a business suit. I'm very confused about what's going on, and why they chose that to show him.
ReplyDeleteThe facebook pages are still up, but some of the comments are gone. Like EBurke and the beehive lady comments. At some point facebook is trying to stay neutral. Sorry to say.
ReplyDeleteI think the judges will have to do something about this. I pulled a screenshot of the complete pages at 2:30pm today. Different from yesterday's page.
Just went through a horrendous custody and divorce with my daughter in Washington state. Yuk! Judges have some very strong ideas about what can and can't be done. Bounce around and make changes or harrass them and it becomes a negative for you. When you go into the court room, you actually turn everything over to the judge. It is then up to each party to prove their case to him according to the laws and statutes. One lawyer told me that he thinks most judges make up their mind at the beginning of the case and you can then see decisions unfold as the case proceeds.
Biggest no, no, is to upset the judge or to try to influence them on way or another just what the facebook page is advocating.
If Parnell steps in he could lose his credibility with the judicial system in Alaska altogether, no matter what any of these idiots might say.
We have a solid set of systems in place in this country and everyone needs to respect them and not try to tear them down. That's a very foolish move that can certainly backfire on them.
I'm not able to hear the video- hopefully when I get off work I'll be able to see it at home- but I will point out that Levi and Bristol AREN'T "emancipated." They don't need to be. At 18 and 19, they are adults, legally. One of them is living in his own home and supporting himself; one is sponging off her parents.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I think the whole brouhaha is because Palin has a personality disorder and by definition, they call chaos into being. Whenever you have somebody who can't get away from the chaos, look for the personality disorder.
Ivyfree
MrsTBB, one of the more important and best articles, I might add.
ReplyDelete"different circumstances". That also illustrates what Levi is up against.
While custody is not about two grandmas, here it is about two grandmas. That is the fight Sarah wants to take on. I doubt the court will let that happen. It is a job for a pr firm, like BSMP. The Palin minions can bombard social networks and Murdoch publishers ad nauseum with opinion and legal analyst. Grandmas will be an issue if someone brings that up. Sherry Johnston is taking care of business and pain management. Alienation of affection has already been mentioned, that could resurface. If Levi has concerns about Tripp, like when the Palins paraded him on TV for the Candies Foundation work and he looked drugged, that could be dealt with. There must be more tapes that we have yet to see. If Levi noticed the record of Trig being a display item and all, he can bring up that concern.
I know a family that lives on a very large compound. They don't live in the same houses. Grandmas religion is not shared by all, but it rules. The judge may consider that as living with Grandma and Grandpa. In some cases children can be kept from toxic relatives. It would be in the best interest of the child to do custody and get to the financial. Then look at the other influences and concerns. I see no reason that joint custody won't happen. Levi with full custody would be best, but he is not going for that. Tripp is accustomed to Bristol and the people she keeps around him. It is already known Grandma Palin has undue influence. If Levi believes Bristol is a good mother, he may be blind to how Tripp will be influenced down the road by Grandparents and others.
While Bristol could afford to make an independent life, she shows no desire to do so. She will remain on the compound with Tripp.

I'm guessing error caused by HuffPo linking directly to a Dispatch article this morning and the extra traffic crashing servers. Just a guess though.
I do not think the best interest of Tripp can happen. I fully support both parents in his life. As it is the kid lives too close to the Palin madhouse. That can never be in his best interest. The mother should have visitation but I think the kid needs to transition out of the Palin's control. Future visits with the Palins absolutely supervised only. He is a cute baby, but a dead ringer of his great gramps Heath, I hope it ends with the looks. He will be raised with the same "OBEY" that created Sarah and Bristol. They both lie and condone contempt of court. Levi is a nice kid but gullible and pretty much the same Wasilla conservative jock. He can't leave his old cronies, better than all Palin brainwashing, but not that much. Tripp's life is stuck in Wasilla, we have all seen what that is about. The best interest of Tripp is looking hopeless. Second best, maybe?
ReplyDeleteWhat you do not understand Gryhpen is that this not Sarah Palin versus Levi Johnston, but Bristol Palin versus Levi Johnston. And would Bristol be happy with him? If someone had attacked my family the way he did, I would, well, let me quote someone of importance:
ReplyDeleteAnd if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?
That's what I would do. I can't speak of for Bristol Palin though.
I resent the comparison between Palin and Tonya Harding. Harding was, at one time, a very talented ice skater. First female to land a triple axel in competition. Palin has displayed no discernable talent for anything. They don't give out medals for vindictiveness or Sarah would surely be a champion.
ReplyDeleteGryphen, I really think something that Sarah wrote in her book bear's repeating and examination: she wrote that in seeking her son Track's advice about quitting, that she told him to Fast for a day on it.
ReplyDeleteHow is it her son's responsibility to Fast for his mother's decision? How often does Sarah ask her children to go without food for her problems? Did her parents raise her and her siblings that way? Just how hungry is the Palin Family? How young does this practice start?
Ferry Fey,
ReplyDeleteThat pic of Levi with the safety belt on was from the Vanity Fair picture shoot for the Vanity Fair article. As they were having him pose on the edge of a tall building, that belt was on for safety purposes. But without knowing that it would indeed look strange.
"What is that strange clip around 2:40 in the CBS segment that appears to show Levi? It looks like he is preparing to bungee jump off a tall building"
ReplyDeleteI've seen that before - I believe it's from the vanity fair shoot. he is in a suit and on the ledge - they had him tied to the building. of course you don't see that "bungee" in the published photos.
ANON at 1:00PM
ReplyDeleteYes it is between Levi and Bristol, maybe Sarah should butt out of it. But it is not up to Lvei "to keep Bristol happy" and he doesn't have to like her parents anymore than Bristol has to like his parents. But Bristol and Levi Both chose to be "involved" with each other and are now parents, they both deserve time with their son.
Does fasting exclude Red Bull now, too, also?
ReplyDeleteTrying to cut through the maze of Trig & Tripp & which one belongs to whom, it seems Trig must just be
ReplyDeletesomebody else's. Tripp is the
only one in Mercede's Christmas photos, no mention of Trig.
Is Bristol the fulltime caretaker of both the babies? Anyone know? Just
curious.

ReplyDeleteMy God! The woman said in her book that she told track to FAST for a day about her decision to quit?!! The kid's in the service in a war zone and his crazy mother tells him to FAST for a fu**ing day?
Do we take her at her published word? Or do we call her a liar who's pandering to the fundies?
Either way, somebody needs to lock her up. Strait jacket and heavy meds. My God!!!!

ReplyDeleteLevi is Tripp's family. There are custody issues where family members beat, murder or sexually abuse, so far the Levi and Sarah attacks aren't that bad. It's a lot of emotional stuff. Palin and Meg did also attack Levi. Revenge is a never ending circle. That is why we have family courts. The Palins can remain petty and vindictive, they will probably get another reprehend from another judge. Bristol could lose custody if she goes along with misconduct or the truth about the secret life she has been living leaks out.
At what point will Bristol be capable of independence and decide she wants to keep joint custody of Tripp?
Anon@1pm:
ReplyDeleteGet real girlfriend. Everyone here believes that this custody battle is/should be between Levi and Bristol. But, to believe that Sarah is not behind all of this, is naive.
And just when did Levi attack the family?

Actually, Levi's poses in playgirl were mostly funny. What guy stands nekkid with their hands positioned exactly over their wanker? It was like he'd never had his pants off before and didn't have any clue what he was doing. (gee, Bristol, how did you manage to get knocked up TWICE by this guy?)
Candie's ads, on the other hand?--with a picture of a rocket on a computer blasting off toward some teenaged girl's VJJ? Now THERE's something I wouldn't want my impressionable young kids to see.
Anon @ 1:00 p.m.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you saying? That Bristol's court action isn't about custody but because Levi "...attacked her family"? What exactly are you saying?
Also, too, Grandma Sarah appears to be making it a personal matter between her and Levi - sure came across that way on Oprah. Just like Trooper Wooten - wasn't her sister's divorce, seemed to be Sarah's issue.
Why is it that Sarah can't get along with anybody? Yet she's constantly running in popularity contests?
Sarah vs. Katic Couric.
Sarah vs. Letterman.
Sarah vs. Trooper Wooten.
Sarah vs. Mr. Monaghan (or whatever his name is).
Sarah vs. McCain.
Sarah vs. McCain's campaign staff.

Now Sarah vs. the "activist" judges

At what point will Bristol be capable of independence and decide she wants to keep joint custody of Tripp?
What secret life is that?
Anon @ 1:00 p.m.
What are you saying? That Bristol's court action isn't about custody but because Levi "...attacked her family"? What exactly are you saying?
Also, too, Grandma Sarah appears to be making it a personal matter between her and Levi - sure came across that way on Oprah. Just like Trooper Wooten - wasn't her sister's divorce, seemed to be Sarah's issue.
Why is it that Sarah can't get along with anybody? Yet she's constantly running in popularity contests?
Sarah vs. Katic Couric.
Sarah vs. Letterman.
Sarah vs. Trooper Wooten.
Sarah vs. Mr. Monaghan (or whatever his name is).
Sarah vs. McCain.
Sarah vs. McCain's campaign staff.
Sarah vs. Levi
Now Sarah vs. the "activist" judges
Can't she get along with anybody? Bless her little heart.
Bristol Palin said so herself in an affidavit.

Yes it is between Levi and Bristol, maybe Sarah should butt out of it. But it is not up to Lvei "to keep Bristol happy" and he doesn't have to like her parents anymore than Bristol has to like his parents. But Bristol and Levi Both chose to be "involved" with each other and are now parents, they both deserve time with their son.
2:10 PM
So far Sarah Palin has done nothing to interfere with this case. Also, I think Levi should be able to spend some time with his son as well.
I'm so glad this got onto the Today Show. It's a good start- but I'm a bit miffed at how Levi's family is being portrayed, especially Mrs Johnston.
ReplyDeleteMy hope is that, AFTER the trial is through, Bristol and Levi can somehow find some middle ground. Tripp deserves to be part of both sides of his family, but that doesn't mean they have to necessarily interact.
I'm not seeing the "warm a fuzzies" for Levi from Sarah, and visa versa.
@6:33 - Palin's done nothing to interfere with the case? What planet do you live on? She's planted smears of Levi all over the place. For example, she smeared him on Oprah.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that when the legal analyst talks about sealing records in adoption cases, this is when Trig appears on the screen.
ReplyDeleteWhatever you may think of the Oprah interview, that had nothing to do with the custody battle.
ReplyDeleteSociopaths have a real knack for attracting people who are willing to do anything for them, so a mouthpiece or two (radio jockey, hairstylist) who have an audience can be quite handy for her.
ReplyDeletePicture it: she talked to her hairdresser, of course casually while getting her bump-it-updo done, mentioned how she's being persecuted in this horrible trial.... uh... that for some reason Bristol instigated...uh oh, abort! OOOPS!!! I mean um, backpeddle! Anyway, her persecution! It isn't Bristol's fault, it's Levi's and the judges and the media's and Obama's. The judges are definitely biased and trying to cash in on the Palin name. How nice it is to just relax and be herself and get her hair done and not worry about all of the stuff she keeps spilling on about that stresses her. How great someone like Burke would be at getting the word out on what kind of nasty mean old judges were conspiring with Obama to destroy her through her most precious grandson when all she wants to do is sip hot chocolate at the beauty parlour and gab, gab, gab!
JBeehive and EBigot (who no doubt have met before this) then comisserated and hatched their great favor to their queen, who would shower them with rewards
for their loyalty, right?
crickets....
crickets....
Riiiiight.
What they don't understand is that they are being u-s-e-d and she really doesn't see them as people. More like - instruments.
Sorry to go on like I have, but really, this is too much now. She needs to be invalidated and totally disempowered and the only way that's going to happen is if massive amounts of information about her transgressions a la T. Woods hits the news. But where in the Hell has "the news" been this past two years while gate after gate has been right there waiting for someone to grab it and run with it?
Thanks to dedicated people like Gryphen for keeping on this.
We're watching it unravel - it's just slow and painful.

Levi is Tripp's family. There are custody issues where family members beat, murder or sexually abuse, so far the Levi and Sarah attacks aren't that bad. It's a lot of emotional stuff. Palin and Meg did also attack Levi. Revenge is a never ending circle. That is why we have family courts. The Palins can remain petty and vindictive, they will probably get another reprehend from another judge. Bristol could lose custody if she goes along with misconduct or the truth about the secret life she has been living leaks out.

Until there is documentation, like video and photos, it is a secret life. It is up to you, when you have something solid, please share. We can only go by what a few Wasilla people are saying. Can you name who is allowed to see her? There are no candid sightings. If in the future interviews they verify the secrets, it will be hard to claim she is not living in secret. Much like Grandma Palins FB act. There is nothing behind the curtain. Grandma pretends one thing and next she shows signs of another, surgery. Bristol claims abstinance work, why hide? She is reported living where unmarried girls and women prevail. Why not document her work?
Does anyone know when the last documented Bristol sighting happened? I've heard rumors. They are interesting as rumors, but not verified. Bristol Palin signed papers on Sept 10, 2009 and Nov 4, 2009, there is no word if she was in a hospital bed or what. We don't actually know if she is hiding another pregnacy yet. Most public relations firms put out something, BSMP is empty and 100 % questionable. You have to believe in the tooth fairy to only believe what you are told. If you have verifiable documentation, please share.

OMG...are you saying that Bristol may be preg with her 3rd child?????

ReplyDeleteLevi's attorney will see it another way, esp. since Palin said those smears concomitant to Bristol's filing. And it's part of TV history now, for all to judge.
This is just more of the Palins/Johnstons traveling circus. It is all planned out like everything they did last year.
ReplyDeleteSarah has Van Flein file the papers emphasizing Bristol wants the case closed. VF makes a mistake...doesn't file in time. Rex and Levi are waiting in the wings. They retaliate and Levi files papers wanting the custody open. The judge agrees.
Sarah's bots go nuts (what else is new) and you know the rest!
Now, just think of the publicity Levi will get for his Playgirl cover mag. coming out next month! Also, too, that reality show supposedly in the works!
Poor Brad Pitt! He went to Hollywood and at one time even wore a "chicken suit" in front of a restaurant and Lord knows what else he had to do before he became a "star."
Someone should have told him all he had to do was knock-up the gov.'s daughter.
Sheesh!
Ginger
For the record, what is that was said about Levi? I never got a chance to watch the whole interview, and I only saw the "under the wing" part.

Yeah, unless someone is living the Truman Show they are existing in secret? There is such a thing called privacy. Bristol Palin is just an ordinary citizen like you and me when you forget her last name, and in most ways lives a private life, just like you and me. So one could say that the overwhelming majority of us live secret lives.
The way I see it Bristol Palin is staying out of the spotlight and away from media types who might invade her privacy. Not one of us here is obligated to know specific details of her everyday life, and only the courts will access to this knowledge if they find it necessary. However, since the custody case is public, you may be finding out more anyway.
I last remember Bristol at the Fairfax picnic. I don't know if she'd gained weight. She fluctuates. She looked pregnant at The Iditarod last Feb.after birth in Dec. Was she pregnant? No.
ReplyDeleteShe looks pregnant here, was she? That is long before Trig. She is a heavy girl and looks pregnant when she isn't. That is why she doesn't want to be seen.

Oh right! You're saying I shouldn't believe my lying eyes as I watched Oprah show? GrandMA Palin said "...she loved Levi...that he was welcome to come to Thanksgiving...blah, blah". Then in the same breath calls him Ricky Hollywood and says the Playgirl thing was "porn". (wink,wink Are you listening judges and Sheeple?)
Let me help you here - the invitation to Thanksgiving dinner when all along she knew custody papers had already been filed? You don't think her remark about porn was designed to damage Levi on national TV? Do you think that we're ALL stupid? Try again - the BS isn't working.
To some, Playgirl is pornography.
ReplyDeleteAnd as far as we know Levi was open to come to Thanksgiving dinner-that represents a missed opportunity for him to take the high ground and maybe begin some form of reconciliation.
@Ginger, 10:57 - Brad Pitt was featured in Playgirl. So he and Levi DO share some of the same career path.

ReplyDelete"To some, Playgirl is pornography".
Oh please. I've known fundies who think that a woman/girl who wears jeans/slacks/shorts/bathing suit or make-up is a whore. Doesn't make it so. We lived in a town where kindergarten girls weren't allowed to wear sleeveless shirts to school because "bare arms were sexually provocative". South TX, no air conditioning in the school and it was hot in early fall and late spring. Sometimes the sin is in the eyes of the beholder.
Also, too, IMO it has to be difficult for anyone to take the high road around a woman as treacherous as SP.
There has been an anon commenter, on Bree's site I think, who reported that Bristol does get out and about. She said that Bristol is seen at the gym and other places locally.

ReplyDeleteI have heard the same type of comments. No, names or way to know if it isn't a plant by team Sarah. We have celebrities that are often left alone. When they are mentioned you usually get the details, like who they are with. I can believe someone sees her.
So far she is hiding in plain sight if she is seen and only plants can say it. And NO PICTURES, sure. It is too much like Sarah when she goes dark. They are up to no good. A public relations diva can't even do public relations? Something is very wrong. Who does she hang with these days? Why the secrecy? I also hear that would tell you a lot about her business front that she listed to make her appear as if she is independent from Sarah. Levi has to know she is conning the court but he will go along with her "work" with Candie and unwed mothers. He is a nice guy.
11:53 PM "There is such a thing called privacy"
ReplyDeleteBristol Palin is just an ordinary citizen like OctMom. She may stay away from the spotlight and away from media types for multiple reasons. So? People would not care except that she does look deceptive or criminal. If she is having unmarried sex while an abstinence Ambassador and she has no PR but heads a PR firm, sorry, it ain't right. No one wants to know specific details of her everyday life. I want to know what degree of a fraud she is part of. She is someone that messes with the minds of young and vulnerable people. She better put her money where her mouth is. Unwed teens are a huge problem, society will crumble if these problems aren't adequately addressed. Her mother suckers donations from those that are needy. Bristol goes after the weak and uneducated that just want something to love.
I had a friend that did work like Bristol is claiming. She was constantly traveling and supporting women in various positions. Her business was not a front for another purpose. She did what she claimed and her life reflected that. Bristol is scamming.
I don't know if the custody case will deal with the crimes surrounding this. Levi may not care, he wants his son, not to expose what is going on behind the scene.
No ones opinion about "pornography" matters. What should matter is how authentic a foundation like Candies is.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I know Playgirl is a legal business that markets to an adult crowd. You can be of the opinion that it is "porn" or not.
It means nothing. Playgirl is not going after children and who do they harm? Candies is duplicitous at best. There is no doubt they target children. It is too much to get into here but others have written good articles on this. The people who pimp for Candies get some charity kudos, they work a day or so and they get a paycheck. Not really charitable work. Britney Spears and Sugar Ray did put effort in their jobs. Bristol was only pathetic, using her celebrity name to promote a losing program. The abstinence spiel is more deception, it doesn't work, it hurts. Bristol said as much and then went back to the abstinence only fallacy. She represents Candies who lures teens by pandering with cheap sex and selling of tawdry images TOO TEENS. The foundation is a trade off that is another front to cover for the first travesty. Bristol could not have found a lower form of quackery and commercialism. She has put herself up as a ho for those that have no respect for children or childhood. SP is a nut to call what Levi did "porn" unless she can be candid about what her daughter is doing to hurt teens.
She could say one "porn" markets to adults the other "porn" goes after innocent children. The Palins aren't honest enough to speak truth to power.
Thank you Gryphen.
ReplyDeleteAnon. @ 11:53 and Ciza @ 5:59
ReplyDeleteExcellent posts. I hadn't thought about the Candies / abstinence angle. Actually, had forgotten all about Bristol representing Candies. Thank you for clarification.
If what I've heard of Bristol is half true this will be up there with Babygate. Bristol is like Elvis and she can have the whole amusement park closed down so she and her friends can enjoy it alone. She is entitled and she knows it. Only a fool would blow her cover. She will be bigger than Nadia Soulmon and Kate Goselin put together. When the naysayers see what Bristol does for unwed mothers and babies they will wimper away in shame.
ReplyDeleteAs for Sarah, what rogue mother would not want their babies to grow up to be lobbyists? What is wrong with you people? You would not hide the meth in the babies bottle if you were a mule?
It is sad when celebrity of the Nadia/Kate caliber sacrifice privacy but payday makes it all worthwhile for them.

I must say that the photos of Bristol holding Trog, err.. Trag?, err..Trick?..err..Trans?..err'a.. Tr..?? Trig! yes, that's it. Bristol appears so loving/ motherly (more so than $arah ever appears towards any of her children) And her and Levi together with Trig looks to me like two parents with baby. I don't know what's what yet. However, Levi's VF interview is very interesting.
1. $arah and Todd don't share the same bed. Have not for YEARS..
2. When $arah comes home, she goes directly to her bedroom, spends the bulk of her time there, away from family. When not there, slouches around on the couch(ordering Taco Bell) in her pj's,(from Wal-Mart) zoned out...
