Rodgers has a long history of confidently stating things that are factually incorrect.

Yep, he would fit in right at home on the DT board.

I've hated him ever since he bitched about Mack Brown. I mean, we all bitched about Mack Brown. But he doesn't get to. iirc Tech showed them what-for that bowl season. loser.

[Red Five 40108]

He also said a few months ago that FSU should have gotten into the playoffs instead of Texas. I really can’t stand him.

Also:

From a 2016 article by CBS reporter Jared Dubin, he talks about an interview Rodgers had with Bill Simmons (Any Given Wednesday) about his concussions...
 

Quote

 

Here's a partially edited transcript of the exchange about the first concussion:

Rodgers: "I had a bizarre metallic -- one eye went metallic. I could only see out of my right eye."

Simmons: "WHAT?"

Rodgers: "Yeah."

Simmons: "What happened?"

Rodgers: "I got hit. We were playing Washington. I got hit by like three guys on a blitz. London Fletcher came around and he was one of three guys that kind of hit me. Side of the head."

Simmons: "And you lost sight in your left eye?"

Rodgers: "Yeah. It went out -- it was just metallic. It was like a silver metallic in the left side."

HIS EYE WENT METALLIC. I don't even know what that means, but it sounds... not great.

 

Rodgers hasn't been doing his brain any favors.

[BrickHorn 17983]

Aaron Rodgers: “I can read. I can learn.”

Me:

[YGIFS 19443]

I now read everything Rodgers writes in Fredo Corleone's voice.  "I can handle things.  I'm smart.  Not like everybody says, like dumb.  I'm smart and I want respect!"  

How so many Americans continue to idolize such average men will be studied by schoolchildren and doctoral candidates alike for centuries from now.

Always seemed like you need a functioning brain to play the position. Guess not. Must be more of a savant thing.

I think quarterback intelligence boils down to the ability to quickly proceed through a decision tree under duress, which isn't the same thing as general intelligence.

Oklahoma GOP Chair Nathan Dahm sent out this statement this afternoon, confirming one of the suspects arrested in the panhandle murders was the elected chair of Cimarron County Republican Party.

When this GOP's Senate Working Group is too woke for your material, you've officially crossed the career Rubicon, Schneider.  I'm sure you can still play a Proud Bois Charrette/Orgy at the Cheyenne Radisson Inn.  

Shit, even Jim Bruer is still getting decent gigs compared to Rob now.  And Rob was actually funny at one point.  

There's got to be a "The Right is Getting Funnier" joke in here somewhere with regard to Rob getting boo'd off the stage

A dear friend came over today to talk about the bullshit of youth little league - his give back is to coach the coachless worst team in 10U. No draft protected players, no dads to coach them, some have never picked up a bat. He and I coached together. He’s a good fucking dude. He’s taught me self defense (with a gun), I taught him the joy of fly fishing, he’s talked to me about how he feels and has cried in front of me. Anyway he’s a GOOD friend. He came came over to vent about some shit and I found out ….. he’s hard core Q. 

“Dude just watch 2000 mules…”

We talked for 3 hours.

the worst part, his parents had him and his family in a self described cult as a kid obviously without his consent. He got out. But now he’s back in.

my heart hurts. 

He’s very worried about sleeper cell violence November 2024. he left my house and I looked at him and hugged him and I said, dude, the only people you can harm are those that try to harm your wife and kids. Promise me you will not do something like go to the capitol. He said he plans to take his family to his ranch for a few months if shit gets wild. 

We are so fucked.

Sorry to hear that.  It's always tough when it's someone you know and care about, that you absolutely know should know better.  But it's such a delicate tightwire act.  You can't just shake 'em and say "snap out of it!"  And you can't just ignore it and pretend everything is precisely the same between you.

I’m thinking about putting together a 2000 mules rebuttal and saying man let’s watch the movie together talk about it then read a few articles (like 10 of them) that have specific critiques or the news that true the vote admitted it had no evidence in court, etc then talk about it. 

I don’t know.

He’s hard to the paint libertarian hates the corruption. Look there’s tons of it, I agree. But then it’s over get rid of all of them. Ugh.

The messaging to libertarians is: your vote for a republican is for government to control your reproductive healthcare. You want the government to tell you what to do with your genitals? Hell no. Vote for RFK jr.  Dilute the republican vote to the 3rd party candidate.

I think for this guy it’s pure libertarianism and then belief that every part of the government needs to be severely constrained due to corruption. The deep state triangulation by Trump to capture guys like him and then activating them on election denialism snagged him. Basically captured by rhetoric. He’s honestly more of an anarchist libertarian than a fascist.  Until now I had no proof and hoped he was a misguided naive guy - in the end libertarianism is the political philosophy of the naive, but maybe that’s why so many got snagged.

There's a lot of that mindset on both sides of the political spectrum. 

Atlantic: The Americans Who Need Chaos.

Quote

White men in the conspiracy-theory study were the most sensitive to perceived challenges to status, Petersen told me. But the researchers wrote that the need for chaos was “highest among racial groups facing historical injustice—in particular, Black males.”

Anti-elite conspiracy theories and tear-it-all-down rhetoric can appeal to groups who feel, sometimes quite rightly, aggrieved by long-standing injustice.

As we spoke, I recalled some of the radical rhetoric from the summer of 2020: “If this country doesn’t give us what we want, then we will burn down this system and replace it,” Hawk Newsome, the chairman of Black Lives Matter of Greater New York, said during an interview with Fox News. “I could be speaking figuratively; I could be speaking literally. It’s a matter of interpretation.” When I think about our political and social institutions, I cannot help thinking, “Just let them all burn.”

The interesting difference - at least to me - is legal disenfranchisement of liberal burn it to the ground groups versus perceived disenfranchised white male burn It to the ground types - unless the corruption is so complete we have no hope.  It leads to false equivalency arguments - they are all corrupt.

But when I say Ken Paxton is demanding DL data on gender changes he’s unaware, when I explain one party wants me dead he disagrees with that party and is unfazed. They are all corrupt makes Trump’s brazen corruption and criminality garden variety because they all are.
 

hey I’m just asking questions. It’s like they go to school to have talking points. 
 

in the end politicians are complicated, all want power some wield it more elegantly others with brut force and blood thirst for more. I see a distinct difference but he does not so full circle if they are all the same give me the guy that screams the other side is corrupt the loudest. I guess.

To be fair it does come below your waist to your 20 something year old scrotum level amirite? If so you just haven’t adjusted for age and gravity- that’s a forgivable sin.

Hammer home that Trump is arguing that a President can do just about anything, and therefore Biden should be allowed to as well.  When they try to argue that’s not what they mean, just tell them that they are wrong and ask why they are disagreeing with President Trump. If they argue, just ask why they are against Trump.  I don’t like to gaslight relatives, but in this case I will.
