Not sure if this belongs in the Politics Forum or not even though it has ties to former Mississippi State Governor Phil Bryant. Retired NFL QB Brett Favre who made over $140 million in his career plus millions more in endorsements leaned on MS state officials to give welfare money to build sports facilities at his Alma mater University of Southern Mississippi plus took over a million dollars in welfare money for speeches he never made. He also gave substantially more money to USM from his charity Favre 4 Hope than to the cancer charities it was intended for. Now Brett has hired Trump lawyer Eric Herschmann to represent him. Guess the Orange Anus owed Brett a favor. I am so fucking sick of rich white guys bitch about welfare spending then take welfare money themselves.

@Hane recommended, last month (in the Bro. Gary topic), ”Binge recommendation: “The Righteous Gemstones,” an HBO series starring John Goodman,about a family made wealthy by their megachurch.” Realized I had HBO via my signing bonus (?) and that John Goodman is a headliner. It’s fabulous! Does anybody want to discuss? Burr under my saddle as to what’s coming up in Sunday’s episode under a spoiler This show is SO good. I binged it and I’m not that big a tv watcher generally. John Goodman’s presence lured me in, but literally every other actor in it blows a person away! And of course you can’t help but wonder how close the behind-the-scenes and the opulence of the fictitious family is to, say, the Shamblins and the Sprouls. You KNOW they’re underreporting, as it were, the riches of the Osteens. But as Osteen mentions Jesus once in a couple of blue moons, I can’t consider him evangelical. Just an incredibly successful grifter.
