  1. This is how this always happens. By next week the polling will be 40/60 on whether a child sex trafficker should be set free. Then he'll do it, and by the next week everyone will have forgotten about it and we'll be on to the next horrific thing. "Mike Johnson, do you think Trump should make the US military use the Statue of Liberty as target practice, as he has proposed....?"
  2. You will definitely be in the minority here. The first half was amazing. The second half was meh.
  3. "probably illegally"
  4. I feel like you're making my point for me. They were friends for years. Everyone knows this and no one disputes it. Well I guess Trump might, but who knows what he's saying or disputing on any given day. And yeah, we already know exactly what is in the letter and the drawing.
  5. If it's for "See! They were friends. Look how creepy this looks" purposes I'm going to lose my mind.
  6. I'm not sure what the point is. Do they think there is another part of that book where Trump and Epstein laugh about raping underage girls together?
  7. The right is getting better at comedy and it's making lefties nervous.
  8. "You were the greatest golfer of the 90s. Besides me and Tiger."
  9. “And it looks like we’ve had our first fatality.”
  10. I had forgotten that. I tuned in the next week all excited and it was a re-run. Then the next week, and the next. "Oh, guess that was the finale." Watching tv used to be a lot different.
  11. Purdue took a guy who got kicked off Memphis for stealing? Good lord.
  12. Because he's allowed to get away with it.
  13. We're all getting a real up close and personal lesson on what it means to be a cult leader with millions of followers. Just in the last week "Biden and Hillary created the Epstein hoax and Obama committed treason and I might set the most famous living child sex trafficker free so that she can keep pedophilia charges away from me." Cult: "Yay!!!"
  14. Caldwell ahead of Spence is dumb.
  15. Well, his base didn't give a shit when he pardoned a shitload of people who spent the better part of the day beating up cops, because they were protecting our Capitol. I'm probably giving them too much credit to think they'll care about this.
  16. This is going to be fascinating. "Well I voted for him because I thought he would expose all the democrats in the pedophile ring. But what he actually did was pardon the child sex trafficker. So, I guess (brain explodes)"
  17. He's been prosecuted, a lot. Most of it went away when 80 million of the stupidest fucking people to ever walk the earth thought it would be a good idea to make him president.
  18. They weren't really into the whole "Let's draw attention to the fact that he is perhaps the worst person in the country" thing. I guess there was too much ammunition to use so they just really didn't use any of it.
  19. Have we reached peak Every Accusation is a Confession with "Obama led a coup"? It doesn't even make sense.
  20. (Maxwell, reading from written remarks handed to her by Todd Blanch) "I actually only very recently became aware of the existence of Donald Trump. The people involved with all the child rape were Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, Jill Biden, Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and screw it let's say Pete Buttigieg too, and Gavin Newsom."
  21. IT stuff: Given the way I view the football calendar, the season begins in less than a week. Thursday marked the last workout before the team reports for fall camp next Tuesday. After reporting, the program begins practice on Wednesday. With just a brief break before the start of camp, Steve Sarkisian addressed the team. According to those who interact with Sark, he’s pleased with where the team stands as it exits summer workouts. The players are working hard and hitting new speed PRs to boot. Leadership is in a good place. Overall, the head man appears happy with the state of his program. The proof is in the pudding. Sark gave them a half-day off today, and this week was yet another de-load period—balancing good effort with smart recovery. The players didn’t grind themselves into the ground. Sark is as focused on January as he is on September—or August 30, for that matter. Actually, that might not be accurate. There is a ton of focus on Ohio State already. The coaches have used it as motivation and see it as another opportunity to set the tone and springboard team confidence into the season. A good performance in Columbus would lend credibility to what everyone believes has been a great offseason. Other teams that are periodically brought up include Georgia and Florida. With that preamble out of the way, let’s get into some player intel. Wide Receiver Joe Cook sent out roundtable questions, and Ian and I both mentioned Ryan Wingo as a potential fall camp MVP. With Wingo on our minds, we asked for the latest on the sophomore. Said one source: “I think he’ll be a top-5 wide receiver this year.” He continued, “He’s leaner, stronger, faster, and playing faster with more time in the system. Super fast.” Good enough for me. Inside Texas asked who had a good week, and Aaron Butler was mentioned. He made a number of contested catches and continues to mature. With that in mind, the source was asked whether Parker Livingstone was still expected to be WR4. He wasn’t having any of that—he thinks Livingstone is in contention for WR3 alongside Emmett Mosley. “That’s a real battle.” While this source remains the highest on Daylan McCutcheon among the freshmen for this year, he also noted that Jaime Ffrench and Kaliq Lockett have become much more consistent. Ethan Burke I have a sneaky suspicion the senior is going to break out after a solid—but not great—junior year. While we marvel at the young depth, we also emphasize the importance of experience. “He’s the man this year. No more special teams or sitting behind Barryn Sorrell. He looks the best he’s ever looked physically and is a leader.” These kinds of statements usually portend good things. Special Teams After talking about Burke, I discussed Lance Jackson with the source. You probably noticed the brief article on his explosiveness on Thursday. While we’re not sure what to expect from Jackson this year, the source is extremely confident he’s going to become a stud. This season, however, might be more focused on special teams (punt and kick) and spot duty at Edge. Other freshmen who might make a special teams impact include: Jonah Williams: “for sure” Daylan McCutcheon: “competing to return” Graceson Littleton: “because he’ll do anything to get on the field” Rickey Stewart: thanks to “speed and will run through a brick wall” From the sound of it, Stewart is right in line with previous special teams/running backs like Keilan Robinson and Tre Wisner. Weight Room Standouts Given the Jackson post, I asked about other weight room studs. Sophomore defensive tackle Melvin Hills was mentioned. The source believes Hills will become a contributor if he sticks with the program (double entendre). Manny Muhammad was also brought up due to increased dedication. He’s always been a technique guy, but now he’s stronger—and playing like it. Sophomore linebacker Tyanthony Smith has been mentioned many times for his work ethic in the gym, and he was mentioned again recently: “Bigger, stronger, works his butt off.”
  22. It's the same 33-40% as always.
  23. Lulz, MSNBC chyron: "Poll: 67% think Trump administration isn't being open and transparent on Epstein case". Followed by "Trump aides ordered to not talk about Epstein".
  24. Jon Stewart played a clip the other night I’d never seen before of Dotard on Howard Stern. They were talking about how young is too young and Dotard said something like “well I wouldn’t have sex with a 12 year old or anything.” The dude has no moral compass and was good friends with Jeffrey Epstein for a decade or so. The odds of him not having sex with minors are about the same as me winning the lottery 100 times in a row.
