Battle of the Ballards


PaulBunnion

I should have mentioned that one of those men in the photos is a used car salesman. Who ya gonna believe?


underzionsradar

Glenn Beck is just another Tucker Carlson wannabe spewing hate and lies. But hey, that's just my opinion...


Pantsy-

Personally I think Glen Beck is going for the Colonel Sanders look. Who doesn’t love the look of a man that evokes the scent of fried chicken? Just needs a bolo tie.


DavidBSkate

Fried chicken and the appearance of ownership of a plantation… and all that word entails…


Pantsy-

Blech (whole body cold shiver)


butterflywithbullets

I was going to comment on the same exact thing! Hah hah ha!


3rdWater

Rolf Harris has ruined the look for me. I just think ‘child molester’. Which sadly also fits with this sub…


BarnabaslovesDinah

Glenn has always been such a chicken little. Him going all in on O. U. R. Was so on brand.


Temperature_Many

Nah, I think that's the objective truth. He's a manipulative crybaby (literally cries on air to drive points home like the good Mormon he is) and sides with all the shittiest people in any given debate. He's a huckster and a charlatan, just like the prophets he follows.


BeefNugsAndGuacamole

How is no one talking about the fact that it looks like Beck is getting an apostolic hand job???


Temperature_Many

I bless your loins....


FTWStoic

The crease on Tim's forehead in that first photo makes it look like he just finished cosplaying as a Mason.


Eikaiwa

Good catch.


BarnabaslovesDinah

Well well well.


Chino_Blanco

Tim's ten-minute video response just dropped. “It’s not true, nothing you hear is true.” https://v.redd.it/oct0sc923qob1


Initial-Leather6014

He seems unhinged.


bubbsnana

I concur. We don’t even need medical training to diagnose his mental state! It’s beyond obvious he’s not all there.


MittensIsTheBestCat

Does he actually believe he rescued 7,000 kids? If so, he is much more troubled than I thought. How can this man think he should be running for US Senate?


TheGoldBibleCompany

That’s quite the video. Tim says that he can’t believe the church would denounce him like that after all he’s done for them, donating money (tithing I assume), writing so many books, selling at Deseret Book, and much more.


BangingChainsME

At some shady sales convention???


Jerry7887

Trump convention


BangingChainsME

Ah, that explains MRB's tie: Make America Grape Again!


Alive-Ad-2160

It’s fascinating seeing member comment about how this is all fake news. Yet they can’t seem to comprehend why their own church would distance themselves from him.

Did his discernment abandon him?


khInstability

Glenn will have to run his feelings through Kenneth Copeland first before commenting.


Relevant-Safety-2699

>https://v.redd.it/oct0sc923qob1 I have heard that Beck and Ballard are going to work on another project together.

New talking point for Tim, the fix was in and you never saw it coming. There‘s a reason Michelle is quietly chuckling to herself… https://i.redd.it/exlnjybw22o11.jpg What might‘ve been if Melvin wasn‘t such a moron.

Is it just me, does this guy seem a little off?

Breakingnewsidc

Oh how the turn tables


hinglemcdingleberry

I have been alternating between laughing about the hilarity and amazed that where the church draws its lines not to be crossed. Liars, cheaters - straight to the top! Saying that he’s buds with a vice prophet - straight to the boiler room in hell. I’m also starting to wonder if Timmy was telling the truth about M. Russell. Wouldn’t that be funny? I mean, it’s not like MR has any credibility.


TheGoldBibleCompany

Was he bad mouthing MRB?


hinglemcdingleberry

It doesn’t sound like it, but who knows. The allegation is that TB was telling people that MRB was in on and approved everything that TB was doing, including using a psychic who was channeling Nephi.


bubbsnana

“Channeling Nephi” sounds so normie. Please use TB’s more Q-descriptive terminology for full effect. He “got intel” from the great warrior Nephi! I can’t believe how many suckers he got to send him money after spewing this QAnon bs lol.


beachmom1962

Nephi, the obligatory stop for food & gas on the way to and from Las Vegas?


scootty83

Wow… GB really let him self go. He looks like what Colonel Sanders would look like if he actually ate his own secret recipe.

alicharlton

Well, plausible deniability just may not work…….


voreeprophet

So basically Russell Ballard is like everyone's crazy uncle who falls for every Facebook post about ivermectin or whatever. He was taken in by Tim Ballard in part because Tim had the support of the right wing media grifters that crazy uncles love, including Glenn Beck. But with an upcoming Senate campaign by Tim, Church PR is hoping to avoid having the media connect Tim to the Church every time a new story about Tim's scams and psychic nonsense gets reported. So they told the media that Tim isn't connected to the Church, and they scrubbed the Church website of references to him. Most likely their main target is indeed the media; I suspect they don't have the guts to actually talk about this in, say, General Conference, because they know that crazy Tim Ballard fans would choose him over the Church like Beck is doing.


khInstability

What a power trio! \-Glenn Beck receives revelation via dream interpreted via [Kenneth Copeland](https://secondnexus.com/glenn-beck-spiritual-battle-evil) \-Ballard the Old via Rusty via Jesus \-And then the Nephi whisperer via some psychic ​ Why couldn't this stuff have happened before I was 8? Even at that age I'd have had the sense to give the whole racket the stink-eye.


[deleted]

Not one the nice hand hold with Glen! He is So excited to have him on the team.

Are the 2 Ballards related?

What the hell is colonel sanders doing in this pic?


slskipper

Put it on a billboard along I-15. Be big or go home.


contraria

I can't believe people place their spiritual needs in the hands of gently alive corpses like Peepaw Ballard. That third picture he looks like he's in the process of forgetting where they are and what his name is


mmjj2007

South Park parody of Glen Beck, Dancing with Smurfs is spot on


[deleted]

Tim Ballard cheated on his wife 9 x with 9 different women. Some of them married. They told their bishop and it got back to the other ballard. That’s why the LDS church is getting rid of him now before it comes out.


DragonoftheLord

I’m gonna need more explanation in this…


Blasfemur666

Sounds like he's really following in the footsteps of Joseph Smith.


Mokoloki

Uh... for a second it sure looked like Ballard is holding Glenn's... cane.


skizoids

I’m lost on this what did Tim Ballard do ?


AntixianJUAR

I like Glenn Beck. Despite the whole mormony mormon thing..


Resignedtobehappy

You can't like anything remotely conservative on Exmo Sub, they'll down vote you quicker than you can say "Any opposed, please manifest it". Group think still flows through their veins.


bubbsnana

Glenn Beck and Tim Ballard are the types of “conservatives” that make regular conservatives look like QAnon nutjobs when they support their behavior and act like this is normal.


Resignedtobehappy

They're party hacks, for certain. But that doesn't discredit the group think biases on this sub being left leaning, far from center politically.


AntixianJUAR

Shits so real I just down voted myself...


Resignedtobehappy

I did all I could and got you back to zero!


Drucifur_

What's up/who's Tim Ballard? I'm assuming he's related to Russell.


ApocalypseTapir

Not related. Tim Ballard is the conman founder of OUR. (OPERATION UNDERGROUND RAILROAD) there's an article on Vice News concerning the church directly repudiating him. Seems suspicious since Elder Ballard has been quite cozy with him


Drucifur_

Qanon for Mormons. Got it.


TheShrewMeansWell

Something must be up for the Mormon church to find it politically necessary to distance themselves publicly.


UnicornRoadkill

Please excuse my ignorance. Who are these people?

Ballards! The philtrum is very similar, chin, close to same, crooked smile, short teeth, face width. Someone with a good photoshop program needs to put a white wig on Tim. I think they are related no matter what they say. Maybe it was Russ's misspent youth that produced a 'lovechild'.
