I cannot adequately explain how fucked up the World Cup situation is wihen the president of a host nation *threatens the safety* of one of the participants (Iran).
The USA should be removed as a host nation and if it's not, the games shoud be boycotted and ANYONE WITH A MORAL CENTER should see that.
My best guess is both.
Who could possibly have foreseen that war on Iran would (a) make Iran retaliate by closing the strait of Hormuz, which (b) could disrupt world oil markets, enriching Russia and penalizing most everyone else?
Who, indeed, except EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER THOUGHT FOR ONE MINUTE about the situation.
The US should be banned from hosting World Cup games.
This is clearly fine with the GOP.
This was my second visit to the ICE facility in Baltimore. Each time, it made the hair stand up on my arms.
The conditions are inhumane, and the treatment of people is unacceptable.
Instead of lowering gas prices, this Administration chooses to spend its time on this CRUELTY.
Buy stock in iron lung manufacturers.
I'm sure Trump got a cut somehow.
Did they find an enormous orange one?
Once SCOTUS gave Trump immunity that is exactly the new rule.
Trump lifted some oil sanctions on Russia, called Putin and praised him for being "helpful," and didn't call Zelenskyy to thank Ukraine for providing drone interceptors to the U.S. military.
Americans and Ukrainians correctly see this as Trump taking Russia's side against them.
Nothing concealed his true incompetence. It was there for anyone to see. The fact is people liked his white supremacy and Christian nationalist messaging. They didn't really care if he was competent.
Correct. Biden and Garland completely failed at protecting our democracy. And they never even made a serious push for the John R Lewis Voting Rights Advancemnt Act.
The so called pro life groups are anti abortion. They are in no way pro life.
Because they are afraid of MAGA turning against them. And they are on the Trump grifting train to great wealth.
I suspect Trump will make a deal for Russian oil soon.
Are there really any non-MAGA Republicans? None of them will do anything to stop Trump from doing anyhting he wants to do.
It's good for Trump's oil company donors, so it's good for Trump. He doesn't care about anyone else.
Aligning with the US while Trump is in office is about the dumbest thing anyone could do.
Is there no amount of corruption that will move the GOP to action? It sure doesn't look like it.
Thanks. i miss your posts. I couldn't stand being on X anymore because it felt like supporting Musk. I will repost anything that pops up from you on bluesky.
This is what makes it impossible to vote for any Repunlican. They are all OK with this.
Haven't seen any posts from you is quite a while. Good to see you avoiding the winter weather and US politics in Uruguay.
Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, Greenland, Canada, and on and on and on. Lindsey Graham says they are “marching through the world.”
They don’t care how many US soldiers they get killed. Meanwhile, they’re building concentration camps at home for Americans to die in. What will it take for people to wake up?
They should be down 10,000 with the idiots we have running this country.
Uh,the US is a religious nazi regime.
Bring back meth production. America first. The GOP is a cluster of idiots.
