And Let's not forget about the other Deplorables

[TX-Beau]

Tossing out his boyfriend unhinged him.

 

[rareboy]

There's at least two life lessons to be learned here:

1. The closet can make a person go crazy. No amount of ayahuasca is going to get rid of the hunger to get a dick in your mouth.
2. Never, ever fuck with comedians. They always, always, always get the last word.

This was fucking hilarious btw.

Tossing out his boyfriend unhinged him.

Well, I suppose he found that getting filled with Jesus isn't as satisfying.

Rodgers went off the deep end years ago.

The vax thing and the rest of his conspiracy nonsense just the manifestations of an already disturbed personality.

This was fucking hilarious btw.

Jimmy Kimmel has really good writers and media people. That was also the most furious that I've seen him in a while.

He was on target with one thing: we seem to be in a culture where we cancel people for the least little sin but these raving lunatics walk among us unfettered by accountability. Just because Aaron Rodgers can could throw a football, he's allowed to say things that would get any of the rest of us a court-ordered mental health assessment.

 

[TX-Beau]

Well, I suppose he found that getting filled with Jesus isn't as satisfying.

I really do think that the trauma of doing that to the man he lived with for seven years broke something in his head. He wasn't exactly a genius before, but he was at least some semblance of sane. Mix in the betrayal, guilt, shame, desperation, the failed bearding, the media scrutiny, and all the ridicule that came of all of it, and Aaron went off the deep end.

He was also probably some species of pampered man-baby, and that couldn't have helped. Maybe Kevin was the thing keeping him normal.

By the way, I wasn't joking about the ayahuasca.

Aaron Rodgers Talks Participating in 3-Night Ayahuasca Event and His Love of Washing Dishes: It's 'Meditative'

Aaron Rodgers opened up about using the psychedelic drug in an interview with 'Men's Health'

people.com

Since the break-up with Kevin (which was the last time that he looked healthy), he's been falling farther and farther down the rabbit-hole. It wouldn't surprise me to find out that he got involved with one of those sketchy reparative therapy groups, either.

There's a whole group of these guys in gyms these days. Sketchy drugs. Sketchy conspiracy theories and fringe politics. Heavy involvement with QAnon, Trump, evangelical Christianity. I've come to wonder if there's something in the water (or in the steroids).

Or in the closet. Men's health is just porn for guys too chicken shit to buy the real deal.

Also...

MTG is on a book tour. It's not going very well.

 

[TX-Beau]

LOL nobody who supports her can read.

Your point is well-taken. Perhaps marketing a book to a group that is pro-bookburning isn't a good strategy.

And Rodgers is out at the Pat McAfee show. Somebody got a letter from Kimmel's or Disney's attorneys (or both). So sad.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/10/business/aaron-rodgers-pat-mcafee-show/index.html

McAfee, who has sported a friendly relationship with Rodgers and confessed he pays him seven figures to appear on his program, said Wednesday that he was “happy” that the controversy that has come with Rodgers’ appearances would be no more because it’s “not what we want to be known for.”

"Seven figures"? WTF?

 

[TX-Beau]

Figures. Why is it that when one of the toddler men gets consequences for being an entitled asshat and douchebag, he can't see the realistic way out of his self-inflicted situation?

Of course to Rodgers...this will all just become part of the big conspiracy by the cabal to silence the truth tellers.

Kimmel called it. Because he can throw a football, he believes he's smarter than experts and cannot admit he's wrong.

and of course Dunning-Kruger on drugs is even more dangerous.

Et tu Musk?

Also in the "could it get any crazier?" theme from yesterday...

A member of Congress held up nude pictures of Hunter Biden while accusing him of having no balls.

I'm surprised that she didn't invite him to one of her "CrossFit sessions".

Ranking Member Rep Raskin (D-MD) objected before the images were shown saying that they were pornography, but MTG said that they weren't pornography. Raskin responded, "Well, you're the expert on pornography".

After the images were shown, Raskin again objected and Chair Rep Comer (R-KY) overruled and said that they were relevant evidence.

Marjorie Taylor Greene again shows Hunter Biden nudes while Dem says Trump incited ‘erection’

Were we watching C-SPAN or Skinemax?

This inspired Rep Moskowitz (D-FL) to hold up a picture of Trump with Jeffrey Epstein.

Chair Comer refused to accept the Trump-Epstein images as evidence, saying they weren't relevant. Raskin asked, "Would you accept a pornographic photo?".

 

[rareboy]

I imagine she is trying to generate publicity for her 'book'.

Kimmel again:

 

[KaraBulut]

While Congress is busy making pornographic audio-visual aids at FedEx Office and trying to figure out who they want to impeach next, it looks like $200 billion in pandemic loans paid out by the Trump Small Business Administration might have been fraudulent. That's 25% of the $800 billion paid from the program.

Apparently, some applicants submitted employee pictures that were pictures of dolls in order to obtain loans.

Small Business Administration Inspector General Testifies on Pandemic-Era Fraud

Hannibal Ware, inspector general of the Small Business Administration (SBA), testified before the House Small Business Committee on his office's COVID-19 fraud report, which states that about $200 billion in loans were potentially fraudulent. This estimate differs from SBA Administrator Isabel...

https://www.npr.org/2023/06/28/1184726231/watchdog-over-200-billion-in-pandemic-business-loans-appear-to-be-fraudulent

LEILA FADEL, HOST: A federal watchdog has a new estimate out for the scale of fraud during the pandemic. And the figure is eye-popping. Two hundred billion dollars - that's how much it says was potentially stolen from the taxpayer-funded Small Business Administration. The SBA calls that number an exaggeration. NPR's Martin Kaste has the story.

MARTIN KASTE, BYLINE: As the economy went into lockdown in early 2020, the government was in a hurry to save small businesses with loans, especially the Paycheck Protection Program, or PPP loans, most of which were later forgiven and covered by tax dollars. And in this rush, the government didn't do much to check to see if the businesses it was saving were real.

SAM KRUGER: I would say, even in the very early weeks, we could and should have done a better job.

And the program to support farms during the pandemic apparently paid millions to farms that didn't exist.... like orange groves in Minnesota, cattle ranches in New Jersey...

Hundreds of PPP Loans Went to Fake Farms in Absurd Places

An online lending platform called Kabbage sent 378 pandemic loans worth $7 million to fake companies (mostly farms) with names like “Deely Nuts” and “Beefy King.”

www.propublica.org

As the first round of the federal government’s relief program for small businesses wound down last summer, “Ritter Wheat Club” and “Deely Nuts,” ostensibly a wheat farm and a tree nut farm, each got $20,833, the maximum amount available for sole proprietorships. “Tomato Cramber,” up the coast in Brielle, got $12,739, while “Seaweed Bleiman” in Manahawkin got $19,957.

None of these entities exist in New Jersey’s business records, and the owners of the homes at which they are purportedly located expressed surprise when contacted by ProPublica. One entity categorized as a cattle ranch, “Beefy King,” was registered in PPP records to the home address of Joe Mancini, the mayor of Long Beach Township.

“There’s no farming here: We’re a sandbar, for Christ’s sake,” said Mancini, reached by telephone. Mancini said that he had no cows at his home, just three dogs.

All of these loans to nonexistent businesses came through Kabbage, an online lending platform that processed nearly 300,000 PPP loans before the first round of funds ran out in August 2020, second only to Bank of America. In total, ProPublica found 378 small loans totaling $7 million to fake business entities, all of which were structured as single-person operations and received close to the largest loan for which such micro-businesses were eligible. The overwhelming majority of them are categorized as farms, even in the unlikeliest of locales, from potato fields in Palm Beach to orange groves in Minnesota.

Fox News is out to get the Pillow Freak and Unhinged Uncle Lou!!!!!

Mike the Former Pillow King has been kicked to the curb by Faux. Because he hired crazy Lou who they fired? MAYBE. Because they are afraid of the competition of (who knew) the Pillow King's media empire? MAYBE. Because the caucuses are coming, and they fear his "branding?" MAYBE!

MSN

Because he's broke and can't pay his bills. Nah, can't be that. That's just conspiracy talk.
