Is it just me or do FIFA fans seem alot like MAGAs? Willing to believe any lie and pay any amount to prop up their corrupt cult?

Melania was right, she wasn’t an Epstein victim. She was fully in on it ready to sell her body to the highest bidder in order to stay in the US and bring her parents to the country. Epstein enabled that for her whether she performed for him and his buddies as well, who knows. If she wasn’t coerced, who cares. Or maybe she was but still felt the payoff was worth the price. She has a prenup and seems not to have slept with Trump since getting pregnant with Barron so maybe it was all worth it for her. I am assuming she was of age when she got to the US. If she was under 18, she is a victim, although maybe a willing one? Women do things that knowingly make them a victim if they cannot find any other way to achieve what they want. Doesn’t make it right, but I can understand why some would do it.

That same ‘west’ that would be blamed if they bowed to cultural conventions and allowed the release of the body and all those young men also died of ebola and spread it to other family members.

Thank you for your rant. It is exasperating how people completely dismiss nuclear and politicians go right along with them.

The longer Trump and his cronies are in charge the harder it is to recognize the USA as anything other than a rouge state. Americans keep saying that the Democrats are just as bad and we don’t see as much pushback from citizens as we’d see elsewhere so it’s hard to believe that America is a country you’d want to be associated with. I know many people who live stateside that are looking for ways to leave. I also know many Canadians who still travel to the USA and many of them aren’t people whose values and ethics I agree with. If Trump were gone tomorrow and America tried to make amends around the world but who are we kidding, that would never happen. Americans are conditioned to believe everything is someone else’s fault and responsibility. So no, I don’t see myself going to the USA any time soon. Now that they’ve created a jet fuel shortage, it’s harder to go anywhere.

I assume anyone with a booked flight is paying attention. I keep checking to see if our flights in May are on or if they have been cancelled. I can’t cancel without losing the money so I have to wait for the airline to make the call.

Not sure how much money Putin has invested in Trump but it is paying off in spades. Imagine the cost of an actual war against the US vs how he’s destroying the country without any boots or armament ever hitting US ground?

Even at 0%, this is the completely corrupt US we are talking about. He could still control all the levels of government after November.

Can we start bombing the USA instead? It would solve most of the rest of the world’s problems. At very least could we impose economic sanctions on them? End US petrodollars? Inflict just a fraction of the misery they are constantly inflicting on the rest of the world back on them?

Well it isn’t like both teams and spectators haven’t been warned. Any foreigner willingly setting foot inside the US deserves whatever ICE does to them.

Well GOP have, in my lifetime, always screwed up the economy, piled up the debt and started wars leaving Democrats to attempt to pick up the pieces. That leads to GOP once again blaming Dems for everything and Americans believing them. Now many Americans believe Dems are just as bad even though often a Dem President doesn’t have a Dem Congress or Senate so can’t get much done. But it’s never the voters fault that they are getting what they vote for or fail to vote against.

Horrors. China is doing something the USA thinks only they are allowed to do.

X. Surely X is a Tech company. Tesla too. They are as much tech as automobile.

American people could think of it anther way. By not getting involved, other countries are attempting to keep this as a bad idea by Trump and not full on WWIII which would probably be the result if NATO got involved now. What you really need is some adults in the room in the WH who convince Trump that it is his brilliant genius idea to just walk away.

Really nothing Trump is doing is new to the US. He just gave up any pretense of it being for good or to help anyone. Also he’s even more inept at implementing anything so the outcome is worse even quicker than in the past.

It seems that Americans, who spend all their time online, are completely unable to ascertain that the US military complex exists primarily for killing people outside of America. Before the internet, I could excuse young people falling for the propaganda. It was possible that they didn’t have access to information. Now you have to want to fall for the propaganda and purposely ignore all evidence to the contrary to believe joining up isn’t a ticket to eventually be called on to kill someone outside of the US and possibly be used as cannon fodder yourself.

But not the US. I’m not looking up exact numbers but I’m guessing they’ve killed more country leaders than any other country in the last 50 years? Right now leaders on the top of the board for offing should be: Putin, Netanyahu, Trump. Could probably settle out then and see if the wars all over the world that those 3 are fomenting stop and reassess if any other leaders needed to be added to the list.

This isn’t solely due to Trump. This is due to American politicians over decades. They haven’t been able to make Cuba buckle and be held under America’s thumb. Cuba has survived. Even on some metrics done well. The US must punish that or Americans in general might catch on that America isn’t the greatest and capitalism isn’t the end all be all of economic systems. Babies dying is just fine by MEGA - so long as no abortions are had.

Trump hasn’t equalled the 58,000+ Vietnam deaths yet. You know how he likes to have the bigger outcomes.

Although somehow, Trump being just as mentally incompetent, wasn’t an issue. He may be a couple years younger but he is in no objectively measured way more competent. The GOP could run a sewer rat and leftists would still complain that the human Democrat was more of a problem. No, Biden, there isn’t a way back. America is hooped.
