Irish. Like my sports. Other than that I'm generally pretty annoyed at the world. Not an expert in ANYTHING, so don't believe a word I say.

The internet is erupting in mockery after Eric Schmitt’s spectacular Jack Smith faceplant. Now people are openly speculating: Did his team plant the glowing 2028 story AND coordinate with MAGA influencers in advance, expecting a victory lap that blew up in their faces?

A glowing 2028 scoop dropped just before Schmitt’s disastrous “gotcha,” while right-wing influencers appeared ready to celebrate. After it blew up, the internet noticed.

You can't get a better insight into how the right wing works than this Eric Schmitt/Jack Smith stuff. His team didn't know the difference between the Iowa Hawkeyes and the Atlanta Hawks They spun an elaborate conspiracy theory around it They lined up all the MAGA podcasters about it.

Aaron is not underrating this. It's cinema. The sly smirk when Schmitt thinks he's gotten Smith to perjure himself. The hasty vanishing of the sign. Klobuchar getting Kennedy to hold it up. Schmitt getting LOUD and ANGRY when Klobuchar points out he mixed up the Hawks and Hawkeyes.

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

Bizarre supposed "gotcha" here. Creating a conspiracy out of thin air and then getting caught. Knowing he is lying, he puts up a board that is going to "prove" his allegations, and then whips it down before anyone can read, then refuses to share it. Got the team wrong because he is illiterate.

The decision should never have been left on the player's shoulders to make, the FAI should have been braver and taken any sanctions that would have come our way. There would have been very strong support from the Irish public if they made that decision. I hope the players make the right decision🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.
When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.

So, as predicted, no real change from 1951, the extra base would have been something they would have gotten anyway if the Americans just asked. Greenland keeps self-determination. A huge amount of wasted goodwill and loss of trust with nothing to show for it. A standard Trump deal in other words.

The way you should look at this is that it's effectively a boycott by the other 4 major networks -- including Fox News -- to provide television coverage of any White House events until CNN is restored access. As we know, if there is one thing Trump loves more than anything else, it's to be on TV.
