@FIFAWorldCup Everyone appears to be criticising Gianni Infantino. Maybe he is actually a hero. Perhaps he decided he had to make a total fool of himself in the eyes of the world to ensure that Donald Trump doesn't mess up the World Cup.

Do you remember in primary school when the teacher was sticking gold stars in copy books and one would be given to the child who wasn't too bright but needed a confidence boost. FIFA just did that for Trump.

“The Constitution is not adequate to deal with a President as evil as Trump—somebody whose desire is to accumulate and abuse power. Trump’s abuses of power are unprecedented.”

Trump: "Vladimir Putin said something- one of the most interesting things. He said 'your election was rigged because you have mail in voting. It's impossible to have mail in voting & have honest elections.' He said that to me because we talked about 2020. He said, 'you won that election by so much'"

More and more Democrats in Congress understand that spending billions of taxpayer dollars to starve children in Gaza is not acceptable.
It’s time Republicans came on board.
No more military aid to Netanyahu’s war machine.
