Almost every media personality, whether it be a tv host, musician, or “streamer/influencer” is a disappointment, c00n, or disappointing c00n.

When you realize that, it’s easier to ignore them :manny:

Cause in sports, it is tacky to be a trend hopper. Like, if you a KC fan because of Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes now and not before they had their dynasty, no one would respect you.

Same thing with Tom Brady and the Patriots back 20 some odd years ago when they were on top, but not a fan now.

Sometimes, being a trend hopper and going with the GOP is lame and forced. Sometimes, the grift will lead you to disaster.

I had to search for what his full statement was, since I do not use X.

"The news comes amidst a bombshell report from the Justice Department that revealed the FBI had at least 26 confidential informants on the ground when the capital was stormed on January 6th, 2021. The report says most of the informants engaged in illegal activity during the chaos. The Justice Department says only three of its 26 informants present had been instructed to observe potential domestic terrorist suspects. On the day of the riot, the rest of the 23 appeared to have gone to the Capitol on their own accord.

Upon hearing news of the report, Vice President-elect J.D. Vance posted the following on X, “For those keeping score at home, this was labeled a dangerous conspiracy theory months ago.” So, 23 folks for the FBI. When the crowd. And we’re just finding that out. Didn’t hear anything about that before the election. Didn’t hear anything about that. When an “insurrection” was broached by Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee. By President Biden before her. But Democrats in both the House and the Senate as they articulated The belief that Donald Trump was a danger to democracy and using this as a profound, illuminating bullying bullet point to make that case. And now here we are yet again finding even more evidence. To Donald Trump’s claims when he articulated that the process is rigged. The Democrats are this or that. They’re talking about us, but look at what they do."

‘I’M GETTING REALLY PISSED OFF!’ Stephen A. Smith Embraces MAGA J6 Theory to Blast ‘Corrupt’ Dems in Wild Rant

This goes towards what I stated about gaining information from all sources, not just the sources your side says is legit. When you do that, it is a lot harder to obscure information you should have, keeping you in the dark and arguing about an issue with only the picture given to you that your side wants you to see.

This goes for those who are Democrats and those who are Republicans. Since both are apt to only seek out sources that are rubberstamped by their political party.

At this point, I’m done paying attention to politics because it’s clear it’s a game and a distraction to get people worked up over a bunch of bullshyt that has no effect on the course that has already been plotted for the US.

We feel better when we think we’re in control.

I honestly don't see what point you're trying to make here or your weird transformation into Republican/Trump clean up artist. There was no "bombshell" report - just a report. Smith, like Vance, is misrepresenting what the report is saying to push the conspiracy that the FBI incited the riot, which is unsubstantiated bullshyt. Smith's dumb ass is weaponizing that misrepresentation to attack Democrats, and run defense for Trump. The point of contention here is Smith's susceptibility to right-wing misinformation and distortion of basic facts. Too many of you cats think you're being open-minded or operating w/o bias, but you're not. Your need to always push the "both sides" paradigm is causing you to run interference for Republicans and massage their lies.

FACT FOCUS: Inspector general’s Jan. 6 report misrepresented as proof of FBI setup

Social media users are misrepresenting a report by the Justice Department inspector general’s office, falsely claiming that it’s proof the FBI orchestrated the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.

Social media users are misrepresenting a report released Thursday by the Justice Department inspector general’s office, falsely claiming that it’s proof the FBI orchestrated the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.

The watchdog report examined a number of areas, including whether major intelligence failures preceded the riot and whether the FBI in some way provoked the violence. Claims spreading online focus on the report’s finding that 26 FBI informants were in Washington for election-related protests on Jan. 6, including three who had been tasked with traveling to the city to report on others who were potentially planning to attend the events.

Although 17 of those informants either entered the Capitol or a restricted area around the building during the riot, none of the 26 total informants were authorized to do so by the bureau, according to the report. Nor were they authorized to otherwise break the law or encourage others to do so.

Here’s a closer look at the facts.

CLAIM: A December 2024 report released by the Department of Justice’s Office of the Inspector General is proof that the Jan. 6 Capitol riot was a setup by the FBI.

THE FACTS: That’s false. The report found that no undercover FBI employees were at the riot on Jan. 6 and that none of the bureau’s informants were authorized to participate. Informants, also known as confidential human sources, work with the FBI to provide information, but are not on the bureau’s payroll. Undercover agents are employed by the FBI.

According to the report, 26 informants were in Washington on Jan. 6 in connection with the day’s events. FBI field offices only informed the Washington Field Office or FBI headquarters of five informants that were to be in the field on Jan. 6. Of the total 26 informants, four entered the Capitol during the riot and an additional 13 entered a restricted area around the Capitol. But none were authorized to do so by the FBI, nor were they given permission to break other laws or encourage others to do the same. The remaining nine informants did not engage in any illegal activities.

None of the 17 informants who entered the Capitol or surrounding restricted area have been prosecuted, the report says. A footnote states that after reviewing a draft of the report, the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington said that it “generally has not charged those individuals whose only crime on January 6, 2021 was to enter restricted grounds surrounding the Capitol, which has resulted in the Office declining to charge hundreds of individuals; and we have treated the CHSs consistent with this approach.”

The assistant special agent in charge of the Washington Field Office’s counterterrorism division told the inspector general’s office that he “denied a request from an FBI office to have an undercover employee engage in investigative activity on January 6.” He, along with then-Washington Field Office Assistant Director in Charge Steven D’Antuono, said that FBI policy prohibits undercover employees at First Amendment-protected events without investigative authority.

Many social media users drew false conclusions from the report’s findings.

“JANUARY 6th WAS A SETUP!” reads one X post that had received more than 11,400 likes and shares as of Friday. “New inspector general report shows that 26 FBI/DOJ confidential sources were in the crowd on January 6th, and some of them went into the Capitol and restricted areas. Is it a coincidence that Wray put in his resignation notice yesterday? TREASON!”

The mention of Wray’s resignation refers to FBI Director Christopher Wray’s announcement Wednesday that he plans to resign at the end of President Joe Biden’s term in January.

Other users highlighted the fact that there were 26 FBI informants in Washington on Jan. 6, but omitted key information about the findings of the report.

These claims echo a fringe conspiracy theory advanced by some Republicans in Congress that the FBI played a role in instigating the events of Jan. 6, 2021, when rioters determined to overturn Republican Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss to Democrat Joe Biden stormed the Capitol in a violent clash with police. The report knocks that theory down. Wray called such theories “ludicrous” at a congressional hearing last year.

Asked for comment on the false claims spreading online, Stephanie Logan, a spokesperson for the inspector general’s office, pointed The Associated Press to a press release about the report.

In addition to its findings about the the FBI’s involvement on Jan. 6, the report said that the FBI, in an action its now-deputy director described as a “basic step that was missed,” failed to canvass informants across all 56 of its field offices for any relevant intelligence ahead of time. That was a step, the report concluded, “that could have helped the FBI and its law enforcement partners with their preparations in advance of January 6.” However, it did credit the bureau for preparing for the possibility of violence and for trying to identify known “domestic terrorism subjects” who planned to come to Washington that day.

The FBI said in a letter responding to the report that it accepts the inspection general’s recommendation “regarding potential process improvements for future events.”
