John "Bradshaw" Layfield recently welcomed Administrator of the Small Business Administration Linda McMahon onto his Fox Business Network Segment to prattle on about the SBA's disaster relief assistance programme - about how the loans handed out get the people back on their feet by getting the economy back on its feet. While it's probably more effective than throwing toilet roll at disaster victims, there's still something disturbing about the sight of a documented awful person and an enabler of a several documented awful people positioning themselves as benevolent, at the dark heart of an awful propaganda machine.

This is a man who literally soaped up his own c*ck and threatened to rape somebody in a shower. This is a woman who only managed to get away with a legion of worker's rights violations because nobody in the media gives a toss about pro wrestling. But aren't they nice. Meanwhile, Puerto Rico remains in a dire, dire state. Half of the island is still without power, which might have something to do with Linda's government's glacier-slow response time.

But it's all going really well! JBL says so.
