In the end, whether he was right or wrong, the referee that pulled a red card had bigger balls than our current US House and Senate.

So now millions of football fans around the world view the US as cheaters who used political corruption to influence FIFA and we lose anyway. So much winning. When’s the next war?

BREAKING: Donald Trump has gone back to not giving a shit about soccer.

NEWS: Iran’s IRGC has reportedly fired missiles at two commercial ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz, leaving both vessels with significant damage but no reported casualties

THE TRUMP EFFECT: The USA just lost to Belgium in the World Cup Round of 16 by a score of 4-1, right after Trump personally called FIFA to clear star striker Balogun to play. Sports fans are calling it the Trump curse. 1/

He attended the Super Bowl and predicted a Chiefs win, but the Eagles blew them out. He was there when the Commanders hosted the Lions and lost at home. He watched from a suite as Miami fell in the College Football National Championship. 2/

He sat in the owner’s suite when the Knicks snapped their huge playoff streak in NBA Finals Game 3. And he attended the Ryder Cup where Europe topped the US team. 3/3

I'm sure it won't happen because it is an old boys' club, but Congress should pass a law that any member who misses more than half the sessions in any given 30 day period must provide a health certification from the Congressional physician.

Which applies to many more in Congress.

It’s crowded under there.

I mean she is under the desk so Im sure she heard talk.

Now that the MSM flood is also starting, there’s no way they’re going to be able to keep this hidden until August. The rumor mill has been going crazy today. Nothing confirmed yet, but it definitely doesn’t sound good.

In a lot of ways, the Democratic Party is not much different than the sleazy Republicans. And it’s a shame, cuz most Americans want change to occur within the political system

Maybe the consultants can do a better job vetting the candidates they recruit. Especially ones who came out of nowhere. Otherwise it looks like you either knowingly scammed us for a grift, you’re willfully negligent, or grossly incompetent. The consultant class sucks. A lot.

Under Maine law, Graham Platner has until 5:00 p.m. ET on July 13th to withdraw from the race for U.S. Senate. That will allow Democrats to select a replacement nominee before the general election. After that deadline, replacing him on the ballot becomes far more difficult.

The latest death toll in Venezuela is 3,342 and rising. For that beleaguered country, hope is turning to despair. All Hands and Hearts’ CEO @natemook.bsky.social joins me for the latest from on the ground in La Guaira and a stark warning for what’s to come. youtu.be/2a5-PUhB4ZU?...

Trump: "We had the biggest crowd that anyone has ever seen that unfortunately lightning caused it to leave, and everybody said, 'Well we'll do it another time.' When I heard that I said, 'No we won't. We're doing it on the Fourth of July' ... 150,000 people came back."

Also, "one nation under God" was coined in the post-WWII era and only added to the pledge in 1954. It's younger than Donald Trump. Somebody wrote a book about this.

This is ridiculous. Balogun shouldn't have been sent off. But the idea that the White House is devoting more effort to strong-arming FIFA than it has to reducing housing and healthcare costs is revolting.

Trump admits that he's demanded his cronies names things after him

The ultimate play-by-play of Trump's July 4 disaster:

Step right up! It can be anyones turn next! We all have the potential to be a hero, we need to recognize the occasion! Wasn’t it Bowie?…saying WE CAN BE HEROES youtu.be/lXgkuM2NhYI?...

Most corrupt world cup ever. Didn't think it could get worse than Russia, then along came Qatar. 'Hold my beer' says the US.

Totally predictable that the U.S. under Trump would destroy the World Cup for the rest of the world. It's Infantino who's got to go.

If Belgium plays, they are complicit. If anyone else plays, they are complicit. Everyone who played so far is complicit. At some point, everyone has to pull the plug on this filthy rapist criminal enterprise. Where is your line? Not at Senegal? Not at Croatia? Ronaldo? Partey? Hakimi? Maybe here?

Nigel Farage took funding from a convicted criminal & didn't declare it BBC presenter: "our chief political correspondent Henry Zeffeman joins us. Whats the fuss about, Henry?" 'fuss, noun, a show of anger, worry, or excitement that is unnecessary or greater than the situation deserves'

"US spy tech giant Palantir paid an effective tax rate of just 8% on their £25.3m UK profits. Most companies with profits above £250,000 pay 25%. How is a company that’s won £670m in UK public contracts (including a massive £330m NHS deal) able to dodge our tax rules? " via 38 degrees
