1) Host nation famously doesn’t care about soccer (don’t get mad at us, we inherited the term from the UK. It’s not our fault they stopped using it)
2) $50k is an insane amount of money to drop for a soccer game in any country
3) tourists are worried they’ll be immediately kicked out

Here’s where I’m at: if you’re old enough to have grandchildren in the state legislature, like 92 year old president pro tempore Chuck Grassley, you have no business running anything more complicated than a fucking fruit stand.

I distinctly remember reading that Pritzker was, apparently I’m mixing him up with someone else because he was a private equity guy before he got into Chicago politics.

I watched that shit live because my parents were Romney voters and I was 19, it was pretty pathetic even for the time.

You cannot convince me that a literal Pharma CEO actually wants universal healthcare and gives a singular shit about workers.

Ladies and gentlemen, the sitting president of the United States and the sitting Secretary of Homeland Security are completely unaware that the vast majority of citizens have near constant access to the sum total of human knowledge and can easily determine when one of them is being an idiot.

I had never gotten food stolen by a cat until my better half and I moved in together. You see, lady Sunflower (fellow ginger) has a habit of sniffing your food, but then shirking it off- unless, as I discovered, the food is fried chicken. I legit had to fight her for it, as it had bones.

Portugal is a great comparison. My brain immediately went to Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay, but those were interrogations. There was a point, they stopped eventually. This is just torture for its own sake.

Authoritarianism and Winston Churchill, but also he hated communists for murdering his friends in Spain. He was a socialist until the day he died.

The fact that the dudes pulling the camel are more covered than her is my favorite. Diplomats immunity is the only reason she didn’t get a rock to the head.

Nope, the only skin that’s supposed to show is the face and hands but even that’s up to interpretation. Some require just a hijab (scarf), some require a combination of that and a niqab (veil), some require a single garment burqa (hooded and veiled dress).
Qatar’s pretty relaxed about it.
