Trump’s aides demanded that FIFA’s made-up “peace prize” awarded to him be literally as big as the World Cup.

The White House gave FIFA a list of demands regarding the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize, which was invented by FIFA president Gianni Infantino to present to Trump.

They can redact and play games but it doesn’t change the fact that the President of the United States is a child rapist.

The end of an era yesterday, the train I first worked alone, and now I’ve worked for the final time… the class 455. Was an emotional morning with a Cobham, and Woking semi fast on my favourite service, to close out my run on these! Icing on the cake having both a /7 and /8.

What a complete doofus. Richard Nixon suffered no punishment besides resigning from office and enjoying the benefits of being a former president and getting a full pardon. If you have to sit here 50 years later effectively going “well technically”, no he wasn’t held accountable.

So... National Socialist States of America to USSA to International War Crimes to Terrorist State.

And Drumpf isn't even a full year into his 'presidency'.

Full scale quarantine, embargo, sanctions, asset freeze, and severing of all diplomatic and corporate ties please.

Tapper: This is one of the documents the DOJ released. It’s 100 pages. It’s all black. That’s the transparency we’re getting.

Of course I couldn’t come to Scotland without getting on some HSTs! 😁

My first pair lead by 43138 took me to Stirling where I changed for the Inverness right behind, lead by required 43175 to Perth 🔥

I don’t think I’m being alarmist. If anything, I worry that we’ve become so inured to Trump’s madness that we’re not alarmist enough.

Trump must be removed from office as soon as possible. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-real-threat-of-trumps-madness

I just gave my 20yo a rundown of the day's news, and he said, "It's all so dumb, it's hard to take seriously and so it's hard to fight. We'd be better at fighting smarter authoritarians!"

"We'd be better at fighting smarter authoritarians" is going to stick with me.
