  • Danny “Dimes” is what his teammates called him as a Rookie on the Giants.

    Because he was “throwing dimes”, or perfect passes. But only when he was throwing perfect passes, which as the #6 overall pick he should have always been doing.

    He hated the nickname, and it seems pretty obvious his teammates were fucking with him. But after being traded to a new team, beating out the guy who was supposed to be the face of the team for starting QB and a recent top 10 pick, and then playing an amazing week 1 people are using it again.

    So definitely a deep cut, and I’m honestly I’m surprised it took this long for someone to ask. I think a lot of people just blindly upvoted.

    But Daniel Jones is known for “throwing dimes” and this guy’s dad “dropped a dime”.


  • Mormons aren’t going to support murder

    Have you heard, like, anything about Mormanism?

    Quick edit:

    Like, too many examples for me to possibly list them all, but Netflix made a whole TV show about this one:

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_Meadows_Massacre

    The Mountain Meadows Massacre (September 7–11, 1857) was a series of attacks during the Utah War that resulted in the mass murder of at least 120 members of the Baker–Fancher wagon train.[1][a] The massacre occurred in the southern Utah Territory at Mountain Meadows, and was perpetrated by settlers from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) involved with the Utah Territorial Militia (officially called the Nauvoo Legion) who recruited and were aided by some Southern Paiute Native Americans.[2] The wagon train, made up mostly of immigrant families from Arkansas, was bound for California, traveling on the Old Spanish Trail that passed through the Territory.


  • Rock and a hard place…

    If he says he’s LGBTQ, the church disowns him and Utah will push for death penalty again.

    His best bet is to double down on Mormonism and say he did it for all the reasons Kirk and MAGA go against the Mormon teachings.

    Which again, worst case scenario for trump because he can’t afford to lose Utah and the Mormon church controls Utah politics.

    We’re gonna have to see how the next week goes, but this could lead to a huge fracture ahead of midterms. Republicans have a 6 seat lead, and 4 seats in Utah are up in 2026.


  • They have 100 billion in a “wealth fund” for the church, about 40% of which is in the US stock market.

    The members of their church are also incredibly submissive and will do whatever their church leaders say, including voting.

    Republicans have a very thin majority in both the House and Senate.

    Losing the Mormon church, would mean trump loses majority in both. And would prevent a Republican from becoming president.

    They’re a very large and important bloc of the Republican party.




  • His dad is a Morman sheriff in Utah…

    Besides his skin tone being “blank piece of copy paper” that’s likey the main reason he was taken in alive.

    It’s not like he told his “dad” so much as turned himself in.

    There’s going to be a lot of pressure for him to plea out, that way the government can say whatever they want. He might even get Epstein’s in jail, they’ve already committed to a narrative, they can’t let him take the stand or worse start giving interviews about why he did it






  • I was invited to a Teams meeting about surface corrosion on the new Littoral combat ships, like, not even six months ago…

    I’d never emailed any of the Naval officers before And haven’t been in the Navy for over a decade.

    It’s concerning it’s happening near constantly, but in that example I quoted it 100% happens. More likely if you’ve emailed them before or they’re in global, but even being forwarded a chain that had a journalist cc’ed 12 emails ago could be enough to be causing this




  • They keep alluding to them having been taking the high road this whole time… Like… I literally can’t even.

    Because that’s how the human brain works…

    If you “can’t even” then you desperately need to learn about how people think or a shit ton of people are going to manipulate you.

    Not even just with politics

    Do you honestly not understand how a group of people can normalize horrendous behavior? I can answer some questions if you think it will gelp, this is insanely important these days. If you don’t understand it you can’t do anything to stop it.
