There are quite a few people here reluctantly voting Trump, such as myself. You want to be taken seriously, yet can’t refrain from labeling anyone who disagrees with you as MAGA. Now you’re lecturing someone on their off-topic board etiquette.

I’m not “siding with Trump” Im siding with my reality of not being easily propagandized by anonymously sourced stories and folks who say things that can’t be corroborated. Kelly has people who don’t even like Trump coming out and defending him on this. I also think he should pick a new journalist to speak with, because Goldberg has a history of this.. and a history of promising corroboration that never comes. As a result, this particular Atlantic story has zero sway on my opinion. And it shouldn’t sway anyone else’s either .. alas, confirmation bias is a hell of a thing. In regards to this alleged bombshell. The fact people are saying there’s video makes it a complete miss for me. If there was video, a NYT/WaPo/CNN etc would be in a bidding war for the story. As we stand, no one will touch it. And it’s now being shopped to folks like Mark Halperin.. who’s plugged in, sure.. but not exactly the A-list of outlets.

So John Kelly was just Trump’s go to in a crowd for bonkers statements that could always be used against him? And Kelly didn’t think to tell us of these claims back when he hit us with the uncorroborated “suckers and losers” … he decided to wait four years, until right before the election, for a “but wait.. there’s more!”

Zero people have ever corroborated a John Kelly claim. Plenty of people in the room have gone on record saying they were there and never heard it. Even people like Mark Esper have said they were there and never heard any of these things said. The literal family of the dead soldier supports Trump and refutes what was said. But, sure, it’s possible everyone else can’t hear and John Kelly somehow is the only one that hears Trump say wildly inflammatory things. And I guess it’s possible he only remembers they were said right before elections.

He was a cap casualty in Dallas and Jerry Jones wasn’t fond of Cooper’s Covid vaccine stance. Browns are in tear down mode and wouldn’t have traded him if Watson was A) healthy and B) any good. The fact they “might” trade the pillar of that team (Myles Garrett) in his prime, is an indication of the depths that franchise has sunken to at the moment.

There are plenty of people who loathe Trump. John Kelly just so happens to hear things nobody else has heard… in environments where other people (some who also despise Trump) would have heard. The author of the piece is the same guy behind “suckers and losers”. He promised on CNN, more corroboration, which never came. And now they’re back with another bombshell that only John Kelly heard and only this man was willing to publish in a publication owned by a Harris friend & donor. And Harris immediately holds a 3 minute press conference on it. And Harris immediately makes it her entire closing pitch at the National Mall. FOH… you know it’s all bs.

The Goldberg/Kelly story is a plant. Im sorry, but it is. Just like suckers and losers, last elections iteration. Where only Kelly heard it, no one else. In which Goldberg promised more corroboration, then never gave any. It’s the same playbook. Hitler/Latinos. Hitler for the base. Anti-Latino comment because they’re bleeding Hispanics. What a perfect story for the Harris campaign to seize on!! Anddd immediately she calls a press conference to do just that lol. It’s obvious. Please don’t be so gullible.

I don’t necessarily believe the polls, but trendlines are a useful thing to monitor. Up until some, out of nowhere, polling that dropped today’s, Harris has been in free fall both nationally and in swing states. Those who aren’t beholden to the campaign, but can see internals, have warned it looks bad for Harris. EV, everywhere but PA, has looked great for Republicans and this week so far has put a damper on the hope Dems had last week for their PA EV firewall. Still.. we’re a divided country, and surely this race is razor close. Right? Ok, now I’m convinced it’s not. The strategy of the Harris campaign and tonal shift of our already pro-Dem media this week is almost even enough to make me shocked… and a bit unnerved. I don’t know what these next two weeks hold, but I know it’s probably going to be an onslaught like we’ve never seen before.. because they know she’s losing. There’s no other explanation. John Kelly and his unsubstantiated story about Hitler (drink everytime a Dem calls Trump Hitler) and a dead soldier who’s entire family is supporting Trump and all involved push back (including Esper) on a man who last election pushed “suckers and losers” which to this day, still has zero corroboration. In a publication owned by a Harris friend/donor. Biden calling to lock him up. Harris calling a press conference to double down on the clearly planted, poorly sourced, Kelly story. Now this… Folks, if there was a video, those who have been shopped the story wouldn’t say they think the story is false and would jump at being the one to break it. If I felt they were holding back until the last minute to release it, I’d say that makes sense as a stategy, but a story is being shopped and numerous people have gone on record to say they were offered it but don’t believe it has any merit. So clearly it’s not a slam dunk bombshell that’s being strategically held onto. This rhetoric is going to get Trump killed and the Democrats/Media are rapidly approaching a point of no return for this country.

At some point, there can't be an excuse every year. That's kind of the world we're living in since 13 seconds.. Team ran out of gas post-Hamlin & Allen had a pretty major injury in '23 / Team was decimated by injury in '24 Ok, valid, but at some point you can't just keep making excuses and blaming injuries. THAT SAID... The Chiefs biggest threat last year was us. They played a Bills team with a ton of injuries to major parts of the team along with one position group completely wiped out on Defense. Chiefs biggest threat the year before was the winner of Buf/Cin. They got Cin, who played them missing 4/5ths of their OL. It showed. Chiefs haven't dealt with anything close to that in the postseason aside from the TB Super Bowl, in which they looked like a JV team.

Republicans starting to put the firewall EV hope of Democrats at serious risk in PA.

Doesn’t matter other than in the context of how ruby red Florida has become. Absolutely wild EV numbers for Republicans in the former battleground state.

Chiefs have been the healthiest team during their run. Doesn't mean they haven't had injuries, but they aren't losing guys like other teams are. The one year they did, the made it to the Super Bowl and those injuries caused them to get demolished by Tampa Bay. Two years ago they played a CIN team missing almost their entire OL. Last year they played us missing our entire LB room, as well as our WR2 and guys playing with major injuries that shouldn't have even been out there. The Chiefs have had to deal with injuries like that once, and its the above mentioned TB Super Bowl game.

Cooper is better than Hopkins, two years younger and cost us next to nothing on the cap. Sounds like Tennessee is eating half of Hopkins prorated cap, which leaves about 2.6M the Chiefs have to take on, compared to 800K for Cooper. Better player, younger player, 2M cheaper this year = a 3rd vs the 5th KC gave up. It's also likely an audition for Cooper to get a 1-2 year extension with us, whereas Hopkins would be a straight rental. Not to say he won't re-sign with KC this off-season, but Hopkins is at the mercenary portion of his career. Cooper could still have a multi-year deal left in him if the money/fit is right.

We didn't pay hardly anything for Amari Cooper aside from a draft pick... Beane is a very good GM, but players like Hines and Samuel... niche players that our revolving door of OC's want, yet we don't seem to know how to use is a valid criticism of the FO.

The Curtis Samuel signing truly looks horrific and it's only magnified by the Ravens signing of Henry for the same money. I'm willing to let it play out, because A) Henry could fade as the season goes on and B) Samuel could get healthy and do some damage as WR4/5 But, ugh... as of right now, Baltimore signing Henry and Buffalo signing Samuel looks to be the difference between the two teams. He has transformed their Offense and is opening up their passing game by just his presence out there.. nevermind the fact he has been really good early in the season.

They need a QB & that may require draft capital. They already have young/prime players to pay on the DL in Thibodeaux, Burns and Lawrence. Are they planning on paying Ojulari too?

Used to be a staple of my mornings having on in the background at the office. I've since switched to Get Up. GMFB has basically morphed into an ESPN type show where they focus on only certain teams and they do it with half of them in LA and the other half in NY. Just meh. If I'm going to watch ESPN type content, I'll just watch it on ESPN where everyone is around the table together. As it stands, NFL Live is the only sports show worth watching on tv.

Apples and Oranges. Far be it for me to defend McDermott in the postseason, but they've been hit pretty hard with a cluster of injuries at the WR position. Two of them being potentially season ending. They happened before the trade deadline. When we lost Tre White last year, we made a trade for Rasul Douglas. There are only so many moves to make when you start losing major pieces and/or multiple players at one position group entering/in the playoffs. If this happened to Kansas City and they had to play in the playoffs without the ability to trade for a Hopkins, then we can discuss if the "woe is me" attitude from their fans is warranted... because it would be. Just like it was for us last year.

Doesn’t matter that it’s a lie. Majority of democrats will fall for it just like they do everything else.

Didn’t yall love when Obama talked about Trump’s D on stage at the DNC?

Coming back down to earth

Rams reportedly looking to trade Kupp. Will take on salary for a 2nd Round Pick.

Portland is exactly how Portlandia portrays it and you can't change my mind on that. (I've also never been to Portland).
