  1. I'm watching the "ABC whistleblower" affidavit story snowball. I've been on the beat that "conservatives are shockingly stupid" but today they've reached a new high (or low). The eating dogs and cats rumors look like Pulitzer Prize winning work compared to this. Let's review. Earlier today, a random blog full of spam "reported" that there was an ABC News whistleblower who said Kamala got the questions beforehand. It also said that the whistleblower passed away in a car accident. The Gateway Pundit, definitely a right-wing site, reports that the website is called "County Local News" and will infect your computer with a virus. At 9:42 eastern this morning, an X account called "Black Insurrectionist - I FOLLOW BACK TRUE PATRIOTS" posted a supposed notarized document attesting to this story, minus the death part, with the name of the "whistleblower" and notary blacked out. It says that Kamala got the questions beforehand, and she and ABC agreed to only fact check Trump, among other things. That's it. That's all it took. I'm not BSing here. There is literally nothing else to this story. Just a random spam blog and a random anonymous account. So far, the following figures have either endorsed this story or shared it as something that should be treated as credible reporting. Marjorie Taylor Greene (reported the whistleblower's "death" and then "corrected" that the person was still alive, with still no evidence he actually existed) Ted Cruz Leading Report (558K followers) Kyle Becker (586K followers) Benny Johnson (2.7 million, recently revealed to be paid by Russians) George Papadopolous (1.1 million) Gunther Eagleman (921K) Libs of TikTok (3.4 million) There are many more major influencers, and there surely will be others, but you get the point. Kudos to The Gateway Pundit at least for not going along with this. Grifters will grift, but I think that MTG and Cruz are the truly shocking ones, and there will probably be other elected officials if there haven't been more already. Maybe with MTG you expect it, but Cruz is supposed to be a bit smarter. In his case, I'm inclined to think he's lying, which to me at least is a bit less disturbing than him actually believing it. Trump will probably start talking about this, and then we'll get more fake "evidence" fabricated to back up the original evidence, along with lectures on how MAGAs have been proven right and this is why nobody trusts the media. Incredible things are happening.
  2. Yep. That’s the “strategy” here. Get the Dems to stop talking about Trump.
  3. Here’s the shootout in its entirety. Go to 2:15 if you want to see the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.
  4. i like Danny filling in every once in a while, but i want Cowboys Jake during football season, especially when they get roasted by New Orleans. apparently Jake hasn't been on IJB for a bit. saw this on Reddit: not sure what's going on. hope it's not issues with Carter.
  5. US wins 3-1 on PKs. Germany made their first, then missed the next two by not putting the ball on goal, then missed the fourth on a save. ze Germans are crushed. stunned disbelief.
  6. US women's U-20 team is in the quarters of the U-20 World Cup in Colombia. we're playing Germany right now. Germany was up 1-0 and then scored in the second minute of stoppage time. i changed the channel. then changed it back to see that the US scored in the 90+8 and then tied in 90+9. extra time is over. going to a shootout on FS2.
  7. some janky highlights. can't believe i saw this live.
  8. Jerry and his pathetic group of “yes” men, i.e., his family.
  9. https://www.newsweek.com/sports/nfl/jerry-jones-sounds-off-nobody-can-f-ing-come-here-better-cowboys-gm-1944557 Keep being you, Jerry. Head buried in the sand.
  10. Straight baller. He put the NFL on notice last week.
  11. Apparently this is real. Not a parody account or faked.
  12. oh fuck, that's right. had 9 seconds if i remember correctly. plenty of time for a throw.
  13. 4th and 2 and Stoops kicked a FG earlier in the game. he deserved this.
  14. SEC JJ McCarthy. pretty pedestrian QB but plays for a really stacked team so he'll be drafted a few rounds higher than he should be.
  15. i don't know if UK will win, but the fact that they are running the ball down Georgia's throat is shocking.
  16. Auburn up on New Mexico at the half 17-13. woof.
  17. probably will be reversed, but i think it's an INT/pick 6. well, as the announcers said, if he had firm control, it's a catch.
  18. There’s not going to be a controversy. Arch knows this is Quinn’s team.
  19. This might be the worst miss in the history of soccer. Good grief. He must have money on the under.
  20. I’m not ashamed to admit I’ve seen both of these teams play. Although I didn’t see this game. I work from home and ESPN+ shows the most random college matches on random afternoons. I’ll just throw one on. Hell, South Alabama v. Middle Tennessee State women last week was a 4-3 barnburner. Anyway, just goes to show you never know what you might see when you watch low level college soccer.
  21. Exactly. And if you’re gonna throw, throw the bomb. Then go for it on fourth down with a run.
