I will not be buying any World Cup tickets or merchandise due to FIFA’s collaboration with the Trump regime.

Gianni Infantino has a dictator fetish. It’s grotesque.
Fifa agrees World Cup matches can be moved at Trump’s request
The president has been warning host cities under Democratic control that he will call on Fifa’s president to switch venues if he deems there is a problem

Trump, when asked if he has committed extreme misogynist abuse, responds with less extreme, but still quite impressively extreme, misogynist abuse.
When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

There's lots of awful stuff going on, but I'm still struggling to understand how the media can watch representatives of a visiting nation hand GOLD BARS to the President of the USA in the Oval Office, as an obvious bribe, and not lead every broadcast with "President receives tacky obvious bribe"

Look, I know we're all sick of hearing "if this had happened with any other president ..." but it's absolutely true and absolutely can't be forgotten.

For some reason, this nation gives this idiotic spoiled brat a free pass from things that would destroy the administration of any other person.

I was surprised i hadn't seen anyone isolate this yet, I think the actual disgusting thing here is that none of the other journalists there stick up for her or ask her question again or anything else. They act like it didn't even happen.

Personally, I think it's terrific that no one around the president is willing to tell him he sounds completely delusional and out of touch here. Just let him keep telling voters they're not paying what they're paying.
Trump lies: "Prices are way down."

That this is even remotely legal is an egregious failure of regulation of an industry that is clearly out of control.

Make the calls. Complain to MC and Visa.

Call your reps. Tell them that payment processors should be required to process any legal transaction.
So yes, this is a “beginning of the end” thing for me and simple stuff like, for example, having a bank account. Now is a good time to fight this issue and do so very publicly — it’s a matter of financial life or death for me

I don't know why we still call them ICE and treat them as a legitimate organization. They are an armed Militia and should be designated as a terrorist group. No other legal force in America wears masks and strips people of due process. They are a terrorist organization

Just heard re: some ICE agents who raided a Chicago taqueria, then went back to the same taqueria for lunch the following week and got confused when the owner kicked them out, and I realized "jesus these doofuses really do believe we're all living in a video game where the NPCs have no memory"

Greg Bovino is leading a rebel cavalry terrorizing America—and it's important to recognize that it's in retreat. While the trauma and terror Bovino’s raiders instill is real and damaging, it’s remarkable to note how ineffective the force has turned out to be. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/trump-bord...

The technical term for Trump’s cold-blooded, extrajudicial, extralegal military killing of boaters in international waters is "murder." As in "Donald Trump is a cold-blooded killer, and should be arrested, tried, and if found guilty, be punished with the full penalty of the law."

It's so obvious that when people say they didn't want Kamala to run on identity politics, they really mean, "She shouldn't have been a Black woman."
Guys I am not saying her campaign was good. I am saying that it was focused on economic issues rather than identity politics and I am correct.
Name one policy that she held on that topic that people would've showed up for. Tax credits don't count.

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.
