Trump does not have the power to move World Cup games per FIFA.

“It’s FIFA’s tournament, FIFA’s jurisdiction, FIFA makes those decisions,” the soccer body’s vice president Victor Montagliani said earlier this month.

Trump is what he's always been. This is from his testimony before Congress in 1993. The racism, the lies, and the argumentative tone when someone questions him, expecting facts over bull💩.

Another fishing boat destroyed and occupants killed today. The Trump regime claims this was a drug smuggling boat.

When will the international community step up to denounce these illegal acts and take action?

Watching Circle (2015) on Netflix. Surprisingly, even though it's 10 years old, a lot of the themes are relevant today.

Who deserves to live and how do you choose? Should it be based on race, sexual preference, have kids or not, social status, etc.

Trump in 2020 'If we stop testing for Covid, we would have very few cases.'

Running the same playbook. If we stop reporting on poor jobs numbers, inflation, etc the poor performance goes away.

Farm welfare subsidies and stimulus checks are up next.

Yep. Always do it yourself if you can. Many auto parts stores will rent or loan tools to you also if you dont have the specialized one needed to do the job.

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.
SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records
The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.
