Lionel Messi Is Not Finished Yet

The Lionel Messi faithful, decked out in his No. 10—young, old, a true global cohort, some hailing from Argentina, others adopting Messi’s home country as their own, from a footballing perspective at least—got what they came for at MetLife Stadium, outside New York City, on Tuesday night. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] In the 51st minute of Argentina’s convincing 2-0 victory over Canada in a Copa América semifinal, Messi got his magic left foot to a shot attempted by a teammate, Enzo Fernandez, deflecting it into the net to give Argentina its second goal of the evening—and Messi the 109th of his international career, moving him past Iran’s Ali Daei for second on the all-time list.

    The Daily Dot, Monday - 09/16/2024 - 02:59 PM

    Sheriff Bruce D. Zuchowski, of Portage County, Ohio, who took office in 2021, took his nosy little fingers to Facebook to tell people to jot down the addresses of people who have Harris-Walz yard signs. By the way, that's our yard sign in the featured image. I don't want to be left out of his snitching operation. The Fox News-loving Sheriff limited comments under his post: When people ask me

  • Kellyanne Conway Writes New Alternative Facts About Debate
    The Daily Dot, Monday - 09/16/2024 - 12:17 PM

    Former Trump campaign manager and creator of the alternative facts lie Kellyanne Conway claimed Kamala Harris was the candidate who missed an opportunity during the presidential debate, instead of Trump being completely trounced by his opponent. There are alternative facts and there are lies. These are lies. Kamala Harris made definitive statements about her policy objectives and proved she has what it takes to be Commander in Chief. Trump gave a humiliating performance with the single most ridiculous lie ever told at a debate in modern history.

  • Tim Walz: Women Don't Trust Trump
    The Daily Dot, Monday - 09/16/2024 - 12:13 PM

    During a campaign rally in Wisconsin on Saturday, Governor Tim Walz blasted Trump over his changing abortion positions and mocked him for refusing to tell the American people if he supports a national abortion ban. We all know why and so does Walz. He also had another easy one, he refused to answer if he would sign, veto a national abortion ban. Wouldn't answer it. Well, you know why. You know why. All of a sudden now he says he's all for the support or whatever. Here's the deal, he doesn't trust women and they sure the hell don't trust him. And for all of you. Women do not trust Trump on healthcare and their freedom to control their own bodies, because of course they don't.

  • Lara Trump Deflects On Migrant 'Pet-Eating' Claim
    The Daily Dot, Monday - 09/16/2024 - 11:48 AM

    Republican National Committee (RNC) co-chair Lara Trump deflected Sunday after Fox News host Howard Kurtz asked if she accepted the fact that former President Donald Trump was wrong about Haitians eating pets in Springfield, Ohio. In an interview on Fox News, Kurtz noted that the former president made the claim during a recent debate on ABC News. "Do you now accept, based on what local officials say, that this is untrue?" Kurtz asked. "Well, it's not up to me to decide that," Lara Trump said, deflecting the question.

  • Republican Congressman: Pass 'SAVE Act' Or Another Insurrection Will Happen
    The Daily Dot, Monday - 09/16/2024 - 11:48 AM

    Texas Representative Tony Gonzales claimed on NewsNation that the only way to prevent another insurrection in 2024 is for Democrats to pass the SAVE Act. This is a redundant voter suppression measure intended to make it more difficult to vote. Gonzales is putting a gun to the heads of all Democratic lawmakers and extorting them to pass this obvious voter suppression bill or the next attack on the US Capitol or maybe the White House this time will be your fault. Voting for noncitizens is already a federal crime.

  • Elon Musk: I Was Just Making A Jokey Joke With Harris Assassination Post
    The Daily Dot, Monday - 09/16/2024 - 11:42 AM

    Guys, calm down. The self-entitled dickwad billionaire, Elon "Leon" Musk, was only making a little jokey joke with his post on the Bad App that he destroyed, where he wondered why no one was trying to assassinate Vice President Kamala Harris. What a funny guy! Leon posted that just after the second assassination attempt on Trump in our gun-saturated country by an absolute nutjob who voted for the former President in 2016, then went all in for Haley and Ramaswamy.
