It’s interesting how some sports dudes insist on being Aaron Rodgers apologists.
Here’s a white, privileged guy who had everything going for him. Instead of using his enormous platform for good, he chose conspiracies, disinformation & SPREAD LIES THAT PUT PEOPLE’S LIVES AT RISK.
Good riddance.

Part of me feels a ton of schadenfreude watching Rodgers get battered and humiliated. Part of me also feels sad. For whatever he became after covid and ayahuasca broke his brain, for years he was a genuinely good, respectable dude who was one of the most fun players to watch in NFL history.

Hypocrisy is the tribute vice pays to virtue when people are working from shared values. MAGA has a totally different worldview which prizes domination of the out-group as its highest good.

I spent the entire Biden presidency warning idiotic establishment Senate Dems and Biden who opposed getting rid of the filibuster that Trump and the GOP would come back to power and do it themselves. I hate to say I told you so but… I fucking told you so.

Trump’s mask-off economic doctrine is on full display: Riches for friends, pain for enemies. Is it any wonder business leaders are falling in line?
