Zap2it: Did you bond with your military operative partner?
Todd Palin: My guy was [former Marine] J.W. Cortes. Our common ground is he has a son with autism, and I've got a son with Down syndrome. Just being a father, you have a bond. With the additional challenge, there's that extra bond. I'm a little older than he is, and I'm like, "We are blessed. There's a reason why God put this child in our hands, in our family."
Zap2it: How is your son, 4-year-old Trig, doing?
Todd Palin: He's doing good. When we were filming, he said his first words. He told his older brother to quit picking on him, or something like that. And when J.W. went back to New York on one of the dark days, he said his name, so that was pretty exciting.
Zap2it: Did you get hurt? Todd Palin: Our minds think we're 20, but our bodies remind us that we're not.
Now some of you have asked WHO this older brother is since Track is supposedly overseas in Afghanistan right now. My assumption is that Todd is indeed talking about Track, who might be on leave, though with this family you can never be sure of anything.
If that is NOT the case then Todd has really stepped in it, and I am sure he will be dodging canned goods in the very near future. Of course since he no longer moves like a 20 year old, he better hope that the Grizzled Mama's aim is off.
I am actually a little MORE concerned that Trig has only JUST said his first words at four years old. Children with Down syndrome are often quite delayed in developing the ability to speak, but usually that spans a time between 1 1/2 to three years. I don't believe that it is usual for the first words to come as late as four years old.
I do know for a fact that Trig has a significant hearing loss (As I first determined during an interview with Palin in early 2009), and that might contribute to his rather dramatic delay in speaking, but it could also be an indication that he has NOT received the kind of therapy and special education instruction which could help him to overcome some of his limitations. Which, considering the wealth enjoyed by his family, would be a case of unconscionable negligence.
I am not willing to say with any certainty which is to blame, or even if it might not be a combination of the two, but I will say that these days the boy seems to have outgrown his usefulness, and I really do worry that he is not receiving the kind of care that he so desperately needs.
When we were filming, he said his first words. He told his older brother to quit picking on him, or something like that.
ReplyDelete~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
so. many. things. wrong...
So many.....
DeleteTodd: "something like that"
FIRST WORDS ARE HARD TO FORGET.
totally so many things wrong! They cared NOT about his hearing at the convention when @ 4 months old, they cared NOT about his eyesight, or dressing him appropriately during the damn book tour, much less caring about exposing him to thousands of germs!!!
DeleteIt's like they expected him to not make it and were trying to "help" the process early on.
Only he turned out tough. And good for him for learning a few words to express himself in that cold hearted thug family.
Toad has put on weight.
DeleteA first word is something like "dada" . How on earth would a first word be telling his brother not to pick on him? It makes NO sense. Plus, how old is Track? 22? And he is picking on a 4 year old????? Pretty darn strange. I bet he's talking about Tripp. IF this is even a true story, which I doubt.
DeleteThe language delay IS extreme, but it doesn't surprise me. Kids without DS who have a hearing loss will be severely delayed without intense professional intervention.
Is there something photo shopped out of this pic? like a leash between Toad and Trigg's hand?
DeleteIt just looks weird. Toad's fist back, Trigs fist forward.
Trig said mama 2 years ago. Sarah discussed this. It sounds like Todd is talking about more than a simple word.
DeleteIt's more likely that Sarah was lying two years ago.
Delete643 is lying
DeleteWhy would Track, a grown man, be picking on a four-year-old so much he complains? It was Tripp, his nasty OLDER brother. That means Bristol’s 2008 RNC pregnancy was faked, as Audrey was beginning to suspect before she was threatened and shut down.
ReplyDeleteI do think Todd will take care of Trig, but which one? I think he protects Ruffled Trig, the true relative… is that him in the picture?
OMG STOP with the multiple baby shit.

Funny thing is, the idiots over there thank him each and every time. Mindless.
When was the last time anyone saw a photo of Sarah with Trig? We see him at church alone in the seats. We see him with Tripp. We see him with Bristol. And we see him with Todd.
ReplyDeleteSarah either was told she'd used him too much as a prop or she is legally enjoined from coming within two hundred yards of him. (Watch a photo of them show up this week.)
August 2012 in Gilbert, AZ, photo of Sarah Palin holding Trig.
Deletehttp://bigstory.ap.org/photo/sarah-palin-trig-palin
One of the Trigs was at the Gilbert Az event with her. She has learned to hold that one and there is a picture. Tripp is in it also.
DeleteLevi has updated his public FB page with photos of Tripp taken with Levi this past weekend. Are they consistent with what Tripp looked like in Gilbert? I haven't seen those.
DeleteTripp looks healthy, happy, secure and sweet in these pictures with Levi - totally, different from the clips I've seen posted of him on bp's non-reality show.
Perhaps, they refer to Tripp as the "older brother" to deny Levi is his daddy or to lessen the impact of the difference in ability of the two boys?
Will the truth ever be known?
Sherry commented on seeing Levi and Tripp this weekend. Her comment and caring reflect a mother's and grandmother's genuine love...
DeleteTripp was adorable on LAT. Sure he's a typical boy, but he was sweet and his laughter is infectious.
DeleteWhat a sweet, typical boy, cursing out his aunt like that. How adorable! [eye roll]
Deletekids who lash out and say "I hate you" repeatedly and call people vulgar names are not sweet. you're warped, 6:46.
DeleteI hope Tripp is not one of those people who are so adorable and sweet and charming one minute, the next they are like what we saw with Willow and Bristol. What a tragedy.
DeleteOMG, like Tripp was so totally adorable on LAT! So cute! Flipping the bird at papparazzi, giving his Auntie Bristol fits because "Tripp has discipline issues", and calling his sister a derogatory word for a gay person.
DeleteAnd Daddy Gino lulls him to sleep by telling him wolves are going to come in his room.
what an epic fail!
Could he have been talking about Tripp? I don't think Track would be picking on a child. And is sad if this child is just now talking. Didn't Sarah pretend he woke up smiling and singing or something, a couple years ago? I find it hard to swallow that a deaf child greets the day singing. Poor kid.
ReplyDeleteI have a deaf sister. From age 2 1/2 her therapy was intense (in those "olden days" it took that long for the diagnosis on a very smart kid who faked it). Once she got her hearing aides she never stopped talking. And she (still) smiles all the time, although her singing is...well you can probably imagine. She does play the piano, though, quite well- she "feels" when she makes a mistake.
DeleteTodd Palin: He's doing good. When we were filming, he said his first words. He told his older brother to quit picking on him, or something like that. And when J.W. went back to New York on one of the dark days, he said his name, so that was pretty exciting.
ReplyDeleteWhere exactly was this filming going on? Was Trig present to watch his "father" do those military stunts? Then, Todd's TV show partner left on a dark day for NY and Trig said his name. This just doesn't make sense. Usually, a kid's first words are usually Mama, Dada, Papa, or a could of sounds for that big brother who is serving far away, Tra-tra.
My neighbor's son was born with DS at a time when there wasn't the good therapy options available to parents. Most kids were "warehoused," and she made it a point to raise her son the best way that she could figure out. He talked and he learned to ride a bike.
There is something wrong if Trig, well over 4 years old has just spoken his first word. I have to agree with Gryphen. It sounds as if Trig does not get intensive therapy-- or he has such a serious hearing problem that he is unable to make the sounds.
Today, there are cochlear implants and other electron equipment which allows the hearing impaired to hear the sound of their own voice in order to speak in what we would call a "normal" way. (Some hearing impaired speak in a way that sounds hollow, but they are capable of expressing themselves).
I think that Todd just needed to say something to make it sound as if and his TV buddy had bonded over something personal. Todd didn't check with the boss in regard to what he should be talking about. Good. Oops, was that a can?
Then, Todd's TV show partner left on a dark day for NY and Trig said his name. This just doesn't make sense.......
DeleteI read it as Todd's partner's autistic child said something to his dad (Todd's partner) not that Trig said the partners' name.
This makes sense, it shows the two of them both had personal successes as fathers with their special needs children.
It fits better with the meme of something good came for Todd and the kids from the otherwise worthless show.
Although, as a person with a special needs in my extended family, I HOPE that they all had good moments -- kids plus fathers, because sometimes with special needs kids there are a lot of time between good moments.
Well, I know Piper visited Todd on set, and Sarah was no doubt with her, so it could be safe to say Trig was with them.
DeleteShouldn't Piper be in school?
DeleteSarah was no doubt with her? Oh, there's plenty of doubt when it comes to Sarah being around her kids.
The process of elimination isn't always pretty nor logical.
DeleteOops. could that older brother be Tripp? Or another illegitimate Palin offspring? It seems cruel to think that Track was "bothering him" so much that he was forced to speak. The whole thing is another example of a Palin being careless with the truth.
ReplyDeleteWhatever, I do hope the little guy is getting proper care.
He gets the best care. His only brother is Track so get a grip.

I know you believe in square bellies for Sarah, but not everyone does.

Got Receipts for The best care? Where's the birth certificates?
DeleteWe already knew Trig was late eating solid food. I'd say the delayed speech definitively proves the Palins have neglected providing appropriate and available therapies. And it's especially appalling since he's the very foundation of their celebrity and fortune and supposedly the 'center of their world' and a 'gift from God'. Oh wait...remember how their god wrote that letter saying Trig would always be dependent?
ReplyDeleteMy source for DS milestones gives 1-4 years old as the time for the child's first word. The bottom line is the same, though, since Trig passed the 4 year mark in April (or earlier).
http://www.pediastaff.com/resources-developmental-milestones-for-children-with-down-syndrome
Every kid is different. Trig is happy, loved and healthy. All who know him say he's a real angel.
Delete"All who know him say he's a real angel."

Sarah said she wishes the retard would just die. Who was she talking about?
Deletereal angels have long white robes, wings and halos. Let's not jump the shark. He's a cute kid, Krusty.
DeleteAnita Winecooler at 10:26
Delete...and keeping the long white robes from getting tangled in the wings requires total concentration
At least that's what my guardian angel told me after I broke my arm.
Lots of weirdness in Todd's answers.
ReplyDeleteIf he is talking about Track, WHY would he, who is now a father himself, tease Trig like that by poking him? And he's never spoken, but when he did ,it was "Stop" (or something like that per Todd) How sad is that. Is teasing a regular thing? Are things done or said to him that he's internalized to a point that his first word is stop?
My god there is no end to the depravity of this family.
Who is JW and what is a dark day? I did not understand the last part of that answer for the life of me.
JW is the military pro from the show. I've been wondering about that "dark" day since they shot during the summer. Did we have an eclipse and I missed it? I think that "dark" refers to a day when they aren't shooting.
DeleteJW was the marine guy Toad was paired with;
Deletea "dark day" was a day they weren't filming
a "dark day" at a horse racing track means there are no scheduled races. I think here Todd means there is no filming.
Deletethe "dark day" is when they got eliminated from the show.
Deletea dark day is when the Caucasian ladies are left at home in favor of the brown, black and olive toned gals. nothing to be depressed about, for sure.
DeleteOh, I thought a "dark day" was a day that Sarah Palin was around?
DeleteAnon 4:53 --
DeleteSomeone posted a link to this old article here over the weekend.
http://www.harpersbazaar.com/magazine/feature-articles/bristol-palin-interview-0610
Key line for me was Bristol saying, "He is learning basic sign language to communicate with Trig, including stop, which Trig signs when Tripp tackles him."
Which makes me think Todd was referring to Tripp, no Track. Or they just have the same lie they've used over the years -- Trig responds to Tripp's aggression. Gee, he's showing progress.
That's it. Todd has retold the same story that Bristol related here. He just didn't quite get the details correct, or someone changed things up in post-production.
DeleteIf Todd was Trig's real dad, he would teach that boy how to ball up his fist; and the next time that little hellion runs at him to tackle him, Trig could LAY HIM OUT, flat on the ground. That would teach him not to mess with his older brother. Wouldn't take but once.
OH, and is he off the show yet or what? I refuse to watch
ReplyDeleteNo one cares if you watch or not.
DeleteThe network cares. It's called "ratings."
DeleteA bit testy?

Gryphen, you asked "After all what is the fate of a once useful prop, when you are no longer quite so useful?"
ReplyDeleteFor a narcissist, you become about as useful as a piece of used tissue. Sad but true.
NONE of them are "useful" any more and that's the problem they have. Just a freak show ridiculed worldwide and they've no one to blame it on except themselves.
ReplyDeleteIt has to be Tripp who Bristol has said learned sign language, when Tripp gets rough with Trig, that he uses sign language to make him stop..or is that another BS comment from Bristol. No wonder Tripp looks older than Trig, who looks really small in that picture above. I don't believe for 1 second that Track would be teasing him to the point of forcing him to say his first word. BS TODD!
ReplyDeleteDo all of the troops return to the states as often as Track? All Todd said is fishy. It makes more sense that Tripp is the big brother he is talking about.
DeleteI, too, remember about a year ago, Bristol talking about Trig "telling" Tripp to stop. I also remember about the sign language. The sign for stop in pretty easy. I think Todd was just throwing out an off-hand comment that was about a year old. Trig has a large tongue, not unusual with DS, and learning to manage it has delayed his eating and speaking skills. I am glad he is "using his words/signs" instead of hitting. Someone is teaching him.
DeleteElizabeth44
So were Track and Trig there when Todd was filming?? I would think Track would spend his time home with his wife?? and little girl.
ReplyDeleteGood point!
DeleteAre they married?
DeleteTrack and Britta never had that big wedding and reception in Alaska at some big lodge like Sarah said she was going to throw them.
Did Sarah lie again?
Track was in Alaska with his family. And Bristol did see him off again.
DeleteI think the wedding reception got cut/postponed because Track left last Nov the day after Thankgiving.
Why do you care? Dont you want them to go away?
You sure are obsessed.
"You sure are obsessed."
DeleteHahahahahahahahahahaha
"I think the wedding reception got cut/postponed because Track left last Nov the day after Thankgiving."
Deleteand you know this how? you don't know shit.
Is that Britta behind sp in the Gilbert photo?
DeleteThey have the worst timing, hope one of them know what day it is. Baby came just weeks or a month after the wedding event photo. they are sure out of it. Too much meth?
DeleteBritta and Track are NOT legally married. Or at least they weren't early this year when I checked to see if a marriage license has been issued in this country. As of Feb/March, they had not been legally married in the US.
DeleteI'm not saying it's impossible they went to another country and got married- but I would say it's about as likely as Sarah having been pregnant in 2008.
Also, too: KRISTY, shut the HELL up, you obnoxious obsessed DRONE. Do you realize how TRULY, sincerely pathetic you are? For God's sake, woman- you have been on this earth for HALF A CENTURY and yet you're constantly here doing your best interpretation of a thirteen year old obsessed with Justin Beeber. Only your "Beeber" is Bristol Palin and you don't write as well as most thirteen year olds.
Don't you have the SLIGHTEST BIT of shame? After Bristol banned you from her personal face book and you received a cease and desist to take down your blog of STOLEN Palin photographs, don't you feel pathetic going to her blog and proclaiming "you are gorgeous, Bristol Palin"?
The Palins do not like you and they have asked you repeatedly to stop stalking everyone who is even tangentially connected to them yet you persist in doing so. It took you three minutes to "friend request" the kid who asked Willow to the prom. Is THAT who you want to be? The 50 year old shut in who cyber stalks teenage boys?
You know most people are genuinely horrified to hear you actually ignored your family at your father's funeral so you could stalk the Palins and defend their lack of honor on blogs like this one via your smart phone. Between that, your unhealthy and obviously sexually undertoned obsession with Bristol, and your use of DOZENS of aliases and fake names- do you realize how you are perceived?
Kristy, you need to take advantage of the healthcare mandate and get your ass to a shrink.
Listen to Nyah, Kristy. You're heading for real trouble of the legal and psychological kinds.
DeleteTrig could just be a very low-functioning Down Syndrome child. Some of these children have very few cognitive or physical problems but given Trig's heart issues and the lack of speech until nearly being kindergarten age, it seems Trig just might be one of those Down Syndrome children that was born with all strikes against him.
ReplyDeleteStability and consistent special programs would have made a world of difference for that little boy. This is one of the saddest things I have heard about Trig and there is plenty of sad and neglect.
DeleteIf a parent with holds certain needs from a child it is abuse and or neglect. What does this say about Arizona and Alaskan law? Where else? Why does no one pursue child protection as they did for Honey Boo Boo. At least try. I know the Judge did not help Honey Boo Boo.
What kind of a creep is Mark Butnett? Did JW have his autistic son on set? They use to try and protect children on set. Workers but also visitors had rights and were to follow rules.
I doubt Trig is that low functioning. He understands WIllow when she asks him questions like "do you want to go outside?" and the like. He understood Todd in 2010 when he said where are your muslces THROUGH GLASS.
Delete"He understands WIllow when she asks him questions like "do you want to go outside?" and the like."
Deleteand you know this how? you don't know shit.
There must be more than one Trig. None of them did Sarah Palin give birth. Some of them can hear and others can't. This family will never tell a straight story, too bad all those children didn't get into a decent home. Far away from the cult, also, too.
DeleteWell, if someone's holding a door open and pointing outside, that's sign language for "Do you want to go outside?"
DeleteThrough Glass ? bwaaaaahaaaaaaa!
poor kid. imagine if he was REALLY a Palin/Heath. He probably would have been miscarried there is so much wrong with their DNA.
DeleteIF he was getting therapy he would be saying more than a few words.
DeleteAs the mother of two disabled kids, I agree with the above poster. Intense, consistent therapies at home and in a program would have helped this poor child advance. I don't see glasses or hearing aides on him which would account for his lack of language.
I feel so bad for the children in this family because they lack the support and discipline of a loving firm principled family.
With a child who has hearing loss and DS, first speech at 4 is not that late. Some DS kids are functionally nonverbal their whole lives, but can communicate with ASL. Of course learning ASL take time, consistency & training. Let's hope Trig's getting all he need.
ReplyDeleteNobody in that dumb shit family will learn ASL to communicate with him. It doesn't do any good for Trig to learn is if there isn't someone else to sign to.
DeleteThey now have intensive 0 to 3 therapy programs that have all but eliminated non vocalness in DS people. 4 is late for any DS child that has had access to this therapy and every disabled child has access to this in the USA. But I doubt the Palins got him the help he deserved. Nothing but parental neglect IMO. And the rate of learning drops of at age 3.
DeleteA high profile parent of a child with special needs should be doing public service announcements about the necessity of early intervention (and doing it for free).
DeleteI'm sorry, but what kind of a "mother" who supposedly loves her child and cares about the larger community doesn't extend herself like that?
Of course Sarah Palin isn't obligated to do anything, but she's the one who is supposed to have a "servant's heart."
I guess they couldn't pay her enough.
7:21 PM
DeleteThat is child abuse/neglect. The state must intervene for best interest of child. If they were poor that would be one thing. Even then they would have access to programs. The Palins would have the access to funds, if not so much vanity for Sarah. Todd has his macho games and they must pay a fortune to keep sycophants happy and lips shut. The "postage" only covers so much.
What strikes me is Todd's odd framing of how they ended up with a DS child:
ReplyDelete"We are blessed. There's a reason why God put this child in our hands, in our family."
The child was "put in (their) hands" or "put...in our family."
Also, as for the "big brother," why didn't Todd just say "Track"?
As for the delay in speaking, maybe with DS children it's immaterial, but you'd think with his hanging around Tripp all the time, that would have helped speed up his desire to try to speak.
Immaterial? What do you mean?
Delete.... but you'd think with his hanging around Tripp all the time, that would have helped speed up his desire to try to speak.
DeleteWhen Trig starts calling people faggot then we will know who he was hanging around with.
Maybe it's not a good idea for Trig to be hanging around with Tripp, picking up four letter words. Maybe Trig thinks that Tripp is his old brother. That kid is mean enough to pick on Trig.
DeleteProfoundly sad.
ReplyDeletePerhaps it's more like the first words Todd has heard him say.
ReplyDeleteYou don't stay mute for four years and then suddenly come up with an entire sentence like "Stop picking on me!"
As for the 20 thing, Gryph, you must be the exception, because all men consider themselves a lot younger until their bodies remind them that they're not. My Dad would work in the yard like he was still in his 30s or 40s when he was in his 60s and 70s. It's only now that he's had two back surgeries and is almost 83 that he's finally had to except that he can't work like he could when he was 40. He doesn't like it and will occasionally be a bad boy, but mostly he leaves the heavy stuff.
So Todd's statement sounds pretty typical.
What?!! This is asinine. A nonverbal child doesn't suddenly speak in a full sentence and say "stop picking on me".
ReplyDeleteSarah admitted when Steve Jobs passed away that Trig was "nonverbal" and claimed he used the iPad to aid in communication. Of course, then the shrieking shrew claimed Trig's favorite iPad app was "talking tom"- which you have to SPEAK to in order to use it.
I think Todd did seriously "step in it"- why would a 20-something active duty (allegedly) out of the country soldier be "picking on" Trig?
No, I think the foul mouthed aggressively violent five year old Tripp would be the culprit.
I'm still stewing about the photos we've seen recently- I put the vbs Trig side by side with the Trig in this photo of he and Todd and once again, I see two completely different children.
But the photos which are REALLY making my mind spin are the ones of allegedly TRIPP at the Edwards BBQ in Arizona last week. I put them side by side with a recent photo of Tripp and it looks like the same child's photo- two years apart. Tripp in his recent photos has lost the baby fat on his face. Lost that toddler roundness on his cheeks and facial features. But in the AZ photos from last week, Tripp looks near identical to how he appeared on the cover of US Weekly during Bristol's sham of a "reconciliation" with Levi.
And that got me thinking-
A child conceived during the reconciliation would have been born shortly after DWTS ended.
A child conceived with Levi would of course possibly bear a VERY strong resemblance to his biological brother.
A child born soon after DWTS ended would be just the right age to appear as a chipmunk cheeked, pudgy toddler right now.
I am going to try and figure out how to post the side by side comparisons I did. I'm really NOT trying to go off the rails here but this family has done so many "in plain sight" outrageous stunts with the babies and pregnancies- I just had to look into it for my own curiosity.
(if I can figure out how to post the picture comparisons I did, I will post them as REPLIES to this comment.)
If you need help with getting your side by side comparison picture up and running, I'd be glad to help! Just reply here, and we can get the ball rolling, I'd LOVE to see the comparison. I'm a big fan of the side by side pictures :)
DeleteI was thinking of doing one myself, of when Bristol was on DWTS last time, and her progression thru out the season, as well as this time around. The fluctuations in body weight and size would be nifty to document.
EXCELLENT IDEAS!!
DeleteCelia, I am LOST! I can't copy/paste on the iPad where I have these. What should I do, Yoda?!
DeleteChella- sorry I called you Celia, I misread.
DeleteI have three photo comparisons of Tripp and one of Trig. It may just be me but I think there is a serious chance that was Bristol's DWTS child in AZ and I really do want to post them here and see what everyone else thinks.
I have seen people post links and photos but the first few image services I tried by googling didn't work on the iPad, where I have the comparisons saved. (I did them with the PicStitch app)
Oh, Chella- have you seen the Bristol DWTS photo compilations from the. "palinproject" Flickr site? Those were the photos that turned me from a fence sitter re. Bristol's DWTS pregnancy to a total, 100% true believer.
I have hoped for two years now Gryphen would do a feature on the E! interview Bristol did right after DWTS, the one where she shows off her clinically sparse "new home" in Arizona. She is not just obviously pregnant in that video- she is days away from dropping a baby right on that un-walked-on carpet. They used a widescreen cut to try and not show her belly but it was SO huge, there was no hiding it. I know it was filmed in two parts, and I think she was in labor or had just given birth for the second part- it was a VERY obvious body double, probably one of the cousins. Bristol in part one has a watermelon belly and end of pregnancy "moonface". Bristol in part 2 is a size 0 or 2 and they try to cover her face with her hair.
Bristol told press on June 18 that instead of being on Hucklebee's show she spent the evening with Track because he was being deployed to Afghanistan. I've never heard of a 2 1/2 month deployment.
ReplyDeleteChristian Bristol Palin also told the press she had her mouth realigned and didn't have a chin implant!
DeleteSo what does that tell you?
Here is Track being deployed in FEBRUARY 24, 2012 (from Barbaric Thoughts with Permission of Kelsey, a young lady that has kept a log of Palin happenings ifyou want chronilogical order).
Deletehttp://us4palin.com/track-palin-plays-football-before-deployment/
I recall the June 18 Huckabee excuse for Bristol. It seems there were other Track sightings. Not sure he was in Afghanistan or if he was, not for long.
How much time does he have stateside? Where was wife and other baby? He can visit TV staged set and see his wife? What a life. Not like other military.
Christian Bristol Palin also told the press that Levi had raped her then Bristol took that back!
DeleteSo what does that tell you?
Bristol didn't have a chin IMPLANT. Her CHIN is the same. There's just no fat surrounding it. Simple procedure. Not a heidi montag.
DeleteTrack was home in June. Friends saw him around town and spoke to B about it.
DeleteObviously she enjoyed the rape 'cause she got pregnant!!!! snark out
Delete"Bristol didn't have a chin IMPLANT."
Deleteand you know this how? you don't know shit.
If she didn't have a chin implant, she must have had her lips surgically moved toward her brain because that chin sticks out much farther than it did before.
Delete6:41 PM
DeleteTrack might go other places than Afghanistan. The Palins lie often. Want to pretend he is fighting for Sarah to have freedom to speak when Roger lets he on his cable shows.
6:58 PM Boy, you know she loved it! she couldn't get enough. Between B and Akin I an convinced the only way an Wasilly girl can get pregnant is when she really wants to. Something in the water up there, that Lake Lucille.
@5:54 - Paul Lyin' Ryan School of Prevarication?
DeleteWife? Doesn't AK post marriage licenses online or in a newspaper, like the lower 48 does? Can't someone check out whether he and Britta ever did more than pose for photos?
DeleteNo chin implant for Bristol? What happened? A close encounter with forcepts?
DeleteCould a 'dark day' mean a non filming day ? Aw hell, I'm trying to find logic coming from a bat shit crazy family.
ReplyDeleteI believe so.
DeleteYES, DARK means there's no activity. It's a stage term for the most part. Like, a broadway house is dark, meaning there's no show playing it.
DeleteI saw some AP pix of SP campaigning in Arizona or where ever this past week during the RNC. In one she has a child ID'd as Trig, but it was not that child.
ReplyDeleteThere is only one Trig. No wonder people cal trig Truthers crazy. One Trig. One. Get it?
Delete6:27 You know crazy people...

Believe the fantasy. Ha!
Trig may well not be getting the special care he needs, but in fairness I should point out that my son didn't start speaking until he was three--at which point he began talking in full sentences, using multi-syllable words. I, too, heard a lot about how he "might have something wrong with him," (I had a sister go so far as to speculate that he might be psychotic). Today he's an honor roll student in high school, a crackerjack writer, and a whiz in math. The point is this: Trig's delay in speaking might be a result of inadequate parenting. It might also be a case of a kid who simply develops at a different pace. It's hard to tell sometimes, until years have passed, giving development a chance to even out a bit. I'm not apologist for the Palins, but in this case I wouldn't necessarily say that Trig was being neglected simply because he's just starting to talk.
ReplyDeleteI have a half sister who's now 8 who didn't walk until she was 4 and speak an articulated word until 5.
Delete639- no you don't shut up liar
DeleteI think this "older brother" is quite telling....
ReplyDeleteI think he means Tripp. "Brother" is true...as those of us know... and "older" just may be a mental thing. Todd my see Tripp as the "older" brother because of the mental abilities. I think he just let the cat out of bag..
I wonder if Trig said to Tripp, "leave me the fuck alone you faggot".
Whatever he said, Todd did not want to say. He preferred to pretend he is a proud father who can't remember. It much have been a doozy.
DeleteIt is hard to believe the soldier brother has time for leisure on a set. It is all very strange and suspect.
You would think someone would be monitoring the small children on a set to make sure they have health and education for their level and need.
Tripp may have been born before Trig. Bristol was not pregnant at the RNC - it was faked to "prove" that she did not give birth to Trig.
Delete"as those of us know"
DeleteYou're deluded if you think you know anything.
Nailed it! Not older brother but bigger brother. His big brother, Tripp, may be a little younger, but we've the seen the photo where Tripp is taller than Trig.
Delete"I wonder if Trig said to Tripp, "leave me the fuck alone you faggot"."
Deletelol probably!
639- u mad cuz us im'ers know more about the Palin kkklan than you. Sucks huh?
DeleteTodd Palin: He's doing good. When we were filming, he said his first words. He told his older brother to quit picking on him, or something like that.
ReplyDeleteHIS OLDER BROTHER TRIPP?
No not Tripp, his older without the ruffled ears. Here is something to think about.
DeleteRemember how the Palins displayed a newborn baby without ruffled ears and then they mistakenly or stupidly displayed another newborn with ruffled ears?
Well the DS kid with the long hair is the one with the ruffled ears. They tried to hide his ears from the public with the long hair.
So where is the other baby with normal ears that the Palins originally had?
Is that the older brother Todd is referring to?
Another thing, Todd said, "We are blessed. There's a reason why God put this child in our hands, in our family." Okay this goes along with the rumors that Bristol had twins and with Dr. Cathy Baldwin-Johnson's help, she was able to adopt out the normal baby but the Palins were stuck with a DS kid nobody wanted to adopt so God put Trig into their hands.... they adopted Trig from Bristol?
Slowly information is leaking out.
It would make more sense for Tripp to be picking on Trig than his much older "brother" Track. A 20-something "picking on" a severely disabled child? Something's wrong with this picture.....
DeleteIMO -- the baby with the "normal" ear is Tripp and he's really a year or so older than they say. Sarah adopted Trig to cover for Bristol and get herself ready for the VP selection.
DeleteWhen did the Palins display a newborn baby with normal ears? I must have missed that one.
DeleteIf you are referring to the baby onstage at the RNC...no way that child was a newborn.
Track, though no angel, is now a married man with a child and I am sure not often a playmate for Trig. The older brother, obviously, is Tripp, as we all suspected. There is no way that Tripp is the age Bristol claims he is. He is very big, speaks (swears) clearly and behaves like a much older child. They are all a pack of liars.
DeleteI don't think that Trig said a complete sentence, "Track, please stop picking on me!" I think that he pushed someone's hand away and said "Stop!" or "Stopit!" Or maybe it was "No!"
ReplyDeleteOr Trig may have spoken word salad like Sarah Palin would of done.
Delete"Uwww aawwwww stop uwwwww it"
Yes, it makes sense that he'd say "Stop" while the brothers were playing wrestle. It's natural for Todd to explain the action rather than bluntly say it.
Delete637- why is track "playing wrestle" with a 4 year old? Following in chuck Heath pedo footsteps? Creepy!
DeleteDid you see the story about how Sarah is trying to capitalize on Eastwood's empty chair stunt by saying Obama has an "empty chair" style of leadership!
ReplyDeleteOh! Oh! And apparently Paul Ryan's REAL marathon time is only four minutes better than Sarah's.
Anonymous5:36 PM
ReplyDeleteDo all of the troops return to the states as often as Track? All Todd said is fishy. It makes more sense that Tripp is the big brother he is talking about.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Track is a Palin and those Palins need their sex so it wouldn't surprise me if Track went home to get some pootang.
I think him returning home in June is standard. He left for training in Nov.
Delete"I think him returning home in June is standard."
Deleteand you know this how? you don't know shit.
He left the end of Nov 2011. Back in June 18, 2012. When was he on the TV set?
DeleteI have never heard of others getting so much leave. Is that normal?
Track, a full grown man who is trained in military combat bullying a 4 year old child with Down's? Really great family ya got there Sarah?
ReplyDeleteIs Track the bully of the autistic Palin kid that was tasered by taunting the special needs child he was a momma's boy?
And lets not forget, supposedly also a father. You'd think he'd have more empathy for his little "brother" with DS and not tease him.
DeleteTODD!!!! HOW IN THE HELL CAN DS TRIG SPEAK IN A COMPLETE SENTENCE WHEN SARAH PALIN CAN'T EVEN SPEAK IN A COMPLETE SENTENCE AND SARAH WENT TO 5 COLLEGES TO GET ONE DEGREE?
ReplyDeleteDid the McCain staffers take Trig to Arizona in a black van with tinted windows and teach Trig about history and politics like they had to teach Sarah Palin before she was even let out and allowed to speak to the media and to the public?
PIMP PALEAAAASSSEE!
Give the McCain staffers some credit! If the McCain staffers could teach retawd Sarah how to speak English they can teach anybody to speak.
DeleteWasn't Track the son who cut the school bus brake lines endangering the lives of the Alaskan kids that was being sent to school to learn?
ReplyDeleteIs that the bully picking on Tri-G?
YES. Track had/has a sever drug problem. Meth and Oxy and who knows what. Many parents cure kids by having them join the military. The military teaches them to kill. If they have problems they can get all the drugs they want in the military and after they come out. Tax payers foot the bill for the way the system works. It happens to many kids. A good example is Jeremy Morlock who is a close family friend of the Palins. He was raised in the same culture and the same recruiting deals.
DeleteAfter he was injured he got more medications and he asked for help but he was turned down. He went to the dark side and killed innocent people and did the trophy photos.
He wasn't coming back to the states every few months like Track.
It wasn't break lines- I believe they let the air out of all the tires. I remember when they closed school that day...
DeleteJudging by his completely non-responsive behavior to all the noise at the RNC in 2008, I assumed he was deaf or profoundly hard of hearing. If that is the case, it is unlikely he will talk unless they have given him a cochlear implant.
ReplyDeleteSo far we only know of Bristol who got a chin implant and Sarah who got breast implants.
DeleteIf Todd has more than 4 inches like Shailey Tripp says he has and his penis is one color instead of being two toned then that would mean Todd got an implant too.
According to Shailey Tripp, the one who needs a cock implant is Todd.
Delete"Have you seen Todd's 4 incher?" - Shailey Tripp
Deaf kiddos learn how to talk all the time, IF they are given the right therapy program.
DeleteBut with a down syndrome kiddo it is much more likely that he didn't get the therapy, small muscle to control his facial movements. kiddos have poor muscle tone and need these therapies to be able to eat solid foods and to vocalize. This could have all been done in a 0 to 3 program.
IF they are given the right therapy program.
DeleteIt doesn't look like anyone in the Heath Palin cabal can love Trig in that way. They can only love a prop and they get things messed up from time to time.
That is why the pay or bribe all those trolls with the "postage". All the wonderful family, wonderful father garbage..
7:13
DeleteI have a deaf sister who talks fairly well.The training is highly intensive and takes a very long time. It is highly unlikely that a four-year-old DS kid would be vocalizing already.
"We are blessed. There's a reason why God put this child in our hands, in our family." Todd Palin
ReplyDeleteIs this the same man who ran a prostitution ring in Alaska using single mothers of handicap kids? Did God tell Todd to employ these women?
How come Bristol and Todd always invokes God's name when they speak to the media but nobody has ever seen them in church? Didn't dancing Bristol say their family is too busy to go to church?
Didn't Bully Track wanted to beat up Levi for impregnating Bristol?
ReplyDeleteLOL then Track turns around and impregnates the virgin daughter of a pastor and was forced to marry the pregnant Britta on the side of the road instead of marrying her in her daddy the pastor's church?
THESE FUCKING PALINS ARE A JOKE.
Now the bully Track is picking on DS kids?
Looking at that top picture of Todd Palin, it must bring back memories to him of his Alaska Independence Party Militia war game days.
ReplyDelete"Alaska First — Alaska Always."
HOOAH!
A zero to 3 therapy program is imperative for development in a special needs. Obviously Trig's rich parents were too busy to make sure he got the therapy he needed to be all he could be.
ReplyDeleteLearning development drops off sharply at age three. This is why there are now the programs that start at birth.
AS far as I'm concerned this is a situation of pure neglect.
I agree. Sarah was too busy dragging Trig around on her post-defeat book tour or hiding him to get him into a quality early intervention program.
Delete"Anonymous6:41 PM
ReplyDeleteBristol didn't have a chin IMPLANT. Her CHIN is the same. There's just no fat surrounding it. Simple procedure. Not a heidi montag."
HUH? LOL then why is Bristol's face longer?
Losing weight doesn't extend a chin by half a foot?
Unless of course you are a Palin. Sarah always had those magical titties, today you don't see them but the next day you do.
They can't see she looks deformed. Of course the SpongeBob Squarepants stomach on Sarah looks normal to them.
DeleteWhy do all the family stories with the Palins involve someone picking on each other? Doesnt seem like a very stable homelife or a very Christian family.
ReplyDeleteall of the Palins exhibit passive aggressive behavior.
DeleteLook at the hands of Trig in that picture of him with Sarah in Arizona and then check Tripps hands on the latest Levi Facebook posting...Whose hands look smaller, more like a 2-3 yr old.
ReplyDeleteThis is O/T but important! Just watched Bill Moyers newest expose on gop & Ralph Reed who was disgraced but is now back in action & hanging with Mitt Romney & gop to help him get elected.
ReplyDeleteRalph was involved with Grover Norquist & Abramoff who went to jail. Ralph Reed & Grover got away with their part of it and their back to their old tricks. Ralph pretends he's a christian & gets money from tons of churches who think he's fighting for religious freedom but what he's doing is making himself rich & using them to get them to vote for gop.
I'm hoping the media will pay attn. but I doubt it.
Just like Todd using god to make himself look good, they're all phonies!
I'm so sick of these dirty bastards!
Watch it on PBS.
Bristol didn't have a chin implant, and she didn't have plastic surgery. Bristol's chin just grows faster than the rest of her body.
ReplyDeleteHer baby bump grows pretty fast....
DeleteNow Toad can go back to his full time job, running a brothel in AK.
ReplyDeleteOT....Sarah can't stand being ignored. I guess she didn't hear that this went over like a lead balloon.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/03/sarah-palin-invisible-obama-_n_1852999.html
Is she competing with Betty White? Betty is older than Clint. Sarah can't come close to Betty, Clint's performance would be better than a Sarah joke.
DeleteI just watched the show this evening on msnbc "Barack Obama Making History". He was talking about how he prefers to be at home helping his girls with their homework rather than being out & about backslapping making deals etc. They like to have family dinners at 6:00 pm together.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful family and role models they are for our country and so inspirational.
Then the Palin clan popped into my mind thinking of the stark contrast if they had gotten anywhere near governing this country. They are so totally the opposite. The parents are always gone out backslapping and making deals, chasing Hollywood, they never have dinners together, the kids are left to fend on their own, they have nannies on the tv sets because they are so busy preening for filming. They love junk food and are opposed to anything healthy that our gracious First Lady encourages in others. What a contrast!
The Palin family has placed their bets on face-time and money. They deserve what they get. They made a choice and their bed so they have to lie in it. Created their own punishment as far as I can see. They now have no room to talk, Sarah has painted herself in a corner as a hateful, spiteful old crone that she has become. Who cares how much money they make. I hope to them it was worth their reputations since they sold their souls to the devil. Enjoy it Palin KKKlan!
Seems to me like if they had been waiting five years for Trig to say his first words, they would remember what the words actually were, and not just "or something like that".
ReplyDeleteTodd obviously had nothing new to reveal about Trig, so he recanted an old story he had heard. And, if I were betting, I would bet the story he related was about Trig and Tripp; as I doubt that Track would be picking on Trig, or that Track had visited Todd at his reality show 'job'.
Whoops Todd just spilled the beans! Obviously Tri-g's older brother is TRI-PP!! I wonder if he called trig a "faggot"? What a weird screwed up family.
ReplyDeleteWow Todd is really stupid. Sarah's managed to keep the Tri-g secret under wraps for this long and dumb Todd lets the cat out of the bag in one interview. Thanks Todd! You just proved us all right! Hahaha
ReplyDeleteFrom Palinocchio to Ryanocchio
ReplyDeleteO/T Romney ignored warnings about Ryan’s history of lies, exaggerations
http://www.capitolhillblue.com/node/44972
Campaign professionals vetting Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan as a potential Republican vice presidential candidate warned Mitt Romney‘s strategists that the Congressman had a “history of exaggeration and prevarication” that could become a campaign issue and distraction but the GOP presidential nominee’s team ignored the warnings.
Romney campaign insiders tell Capitol Hill Blue that an intense internal battle raged inside the campaign over Ryan’s history of blatant lies, factual misstatements and exaggerations.
“Paul Ryan is a loose cannon. He’s Mitt Romney’s Sarah Palin and his involvement with the campaign will sink the Republican Party in this election,” said another GOP pro, who also asked to remain anonymous.
“When I heard Ryan was on the short list, my first reaction was ‘oh, Christ, here we go again,’ ” the longtime GOP operative said Sunday. ”The man tells so many whoppers so often that I’m not sure he even knows when he’s lying.”
Well Romney is no better. Personally, I think the Koch brothers or Norqiist insisted that Ryan get the nom. He's a favorite of theirs. This announcement came out about the same time as the crescendo of tax return requests came to a head. I wouldn't be surprised if they threatened to release the returns if he didn't go with Ryan. This was when Reid claimed that he KNEW Mittens hadnt paid taxes for 10 years.
DeleteMitt and Paul are kindred spirits.
DeleteUh, oh, Ryan's being described as Romney's Sarah Palin? The ultimate insult and political career killer,,,
DeleteSo now Tripp is picking on special needs children. Classy. I'm sure he learned that from Sarah or Bristol. Well Bristol was right about one thing: Tripp is a little " hellion".
ReplyDeletePhoto caption: taking the trig for a walk.
ReplyDeleteThe palins treat him like an animal. The leash is photoshopped out. I can tell the photo has been doctored. Reminds me of Sarah's marathon photo.
I can't get over Todd's choice of words, " "We are blessed. There's a reason why God put this child in our hands, in our family."
ReplyDelete"God put this child in our hands" ??? Did Todd slip ?
Yep, Todd din't just step in it, he dove into the outhouse!
ReplyDeleteAs I read it, it sounded "forced" to me. As if he was trying to remember a script someone else wrote for him. When a child says their first word, it's usually remembered verbatim. This child with Down Syndrome, who used sign language and an I pad when Steve Jobs died (and Sarah had to work it into her schtick) for four years suddenly comes out with "Stop Picking on me" OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. WTF????
"Hi Sarah, this is Todd, just want to tell you Trig said his first words today!"
"Oh, how precious! So sad I missed it. What did our little blessing say?
"Stop picking on me"
Sarah "Right ON!"
Todd "Or Something like that"
How profoundly pathetic for that kid.
I think it is possible that Tripp is Trig's younger brother but Todd thought he was being clever by saying "older" brother since this statement could then be interpreted as Track. But the fact remains that Trig and Tripp are brothers, neither of whom were birthed by SP.
ReplyDeleteNot sure if this has been said a thousand times already, but Toad is talking about the other guy's 4 YO with autism.
ReplyDeleteTodd sounds functionally illiterate, but it's clear the brother comment was about Trig. The "name" comment could have been about the kid with autism or about Trig.
DeleteThen his pronouns are a fucking mess.
DeleteI find it so tiresome that, now that Trig is four years old, the Palins still can never say anything about him except that he is such a blessing. Well, aren't all children? Why not talk about the progress he's made with his various therapies or how well he is getting on with the other children in his play group or in his preschool? All we ever hear is the "blessing" part. It makes me wonder if they are still, after four years, trying to convince themselves that he was indeed a blessing.
ReplyDeleteSPOT ON.
Delete"Dark days"....Wow Todd is soooo Hollywood. Using the lingo, hanging out by the pool, wearing his shades....
