Apparently, Palin isn't going to the GOP convention due to a spot of family trouble

We've seen this rodeo before, right?

THEY LIED! Sarah Palin To Miss Convention Because Her Son Was JUST Thrown In Jail For This

The former half-term, half-wit Governor of Alaska was set to attended the Republican National Convention this weekend alongside the party’s presumptive nominee, Donald Trump, on Monday.

But suddenly Sarah has other plans and won’t be attending the convention, according to reports. Track Palin, Sarah’s son, is in jail on domestic violence charges. If you’ve been keeping up with their crazy family, you probably remember back in January when he was arrested for drunkenly attacking his girlfriend, who had to hide under a bed just to avoid the path of his wrath.

The link in [Charles Johnson's] tweet directed his followers to the website of Alaska’s judicial system which details the events and shows [Track's] been “remanded into custody” for the same incident.

As the Daily Kos noted, the three charges are Class A misdemeanors but, likely in anticipation of the negative press coverage, Sarah Palin probably decided to cancel her plans to speak at the GOP convention.

Details of the domestic violence incident at link:

Maybe she told him, "No, I have to wash my hair that night." 

Other excuses: 
She's hanging around Alaska in case Trip (or is it Track?) gets arrested and needs bail. 
She's waiting for results of pregnancy tests for, well, anyone. 
She heard there's a birthday party she'll want to attend, whether she is invited or not.

Otherwise, why would she turn down a chance to spew more word salad?

For me, John is now his middle name, and, depending on my mood, the new first names are "Damn You" and "Fuck You."

We should sic our cats on him when they are mad or scared.

if your values are.

Wedlock
Meth
Alcoholism
Domestic Violence
Swinging
Quitting
and lack of education.

Everybody has drama in their family.

Palin's becomes fair game when she takes to the bully pulpit and spouts the shit she does about being for God, Country and family.

This isn't going to be one of them. Get the popcorn ready, make sure there's plenty of cold beer, and strap yourselves in. It's spectacle time.
