Wouldn't it be more brilliant if FIFA just moved all the World Cup games out of the United States and played them in Canada and Mexico?

Won't happen, but...

Does this mean Orange Julius has to give his FIFA Peace Prize back?

You only get one piece of chicken, one piece of broccoli, one corn tortilla, one doll and two pencils.
a piece of chicken
a piece of broccoli
(a) corn tortilla
one other thing

is that piece of chicken a wing? a leg?

how big is "a piece" of broccoli?

do you just eat your corn tortilla dry?

what's "one other thing"? a dollop of salsa? a rice kernel?

these are deeply unserious, wicked people.
Brooke Rollins: "We've run over 1,000 simulations. It can cost around $3 a meal for a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing. So there is a way to do this that actually will save the average American consumer money."

Do the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles while you're at it.
Dear Free World: please boycott the World Cup matches here in the U.S.

This is now a rogue, extra-legal, xenophobic, unreliable, gratuitously violent, militaristic anti-foreigner government.

Stay safe.

That's an awfully small middle finger. Almost as small as his...

Never mind.

Russia got banned from the Olympics for invading Ukraine. Can't the US be banned for invading Venezuela?
I usually love to watch the Olympic Games, but this year, with the jingoism that’s taken over my country, I can’t bring myself to care about Team USA. I know the athletes aren’t responsible, but I just can’t cheer for the USA right now.

Take the L away from BLS. That's what they want.
They already fired the last BLS director when bad numbers came out. At some point these liars have to admit that the problem isn’t with the civil servants compiling the data. bsky.app/profile/atru...
FOX: Revisions -- October is down 68,000 jobs. November is down 8,000. What do you make of that?

HASSETT: We still have to get the BLS numbers to be more reliable

Minnesota should stop sending money to Washington to fund red states.
at some point we're gonna have to have a real conversation about why we're still paying federal taxes to a regime that isn't using them to help anyone, but instead is using them to brutalize us

Social media is the most significant social experiment in our lifetime and we have failed it miserably.

We're better off without it.

Signed,
Someone against social media on social media.
Can I just say something.

Social media isn’t “free speech.”

The billionaire owners have just convinced you it is so they can load you with their propaganda.

Now get this. It might be a shocker for you.

Free speech existed before the internet and social media. 😱

If these ICE morons ever had to face an angry mob, they wouldn't know what to do.

Way to go, Canes...

Too late. Will never fly Avelo.
“Avelo stops deportation flights in Arizona; protesters in Delaware applaud

Avelo, the only commercial airline serving Wilmington’s airport, has ended its contract flights to carry foreign nationals detained by U.S. immigration agents.”
Avelo stops deportation flights in Arizona; protesters in Delaware applaud
In canceling the flights, the airline cited closure of the Arizona base and lack of profits from deportation.

They finally found something to replace all the shows and performers that canceled on them.

If they can't move or cancel the Olympics, every free country needs to boycott so that only the rouge nations are left.

Same for the World Cup.

Sadly, I don't think they'll cancel. It's all about the money for them.
I don't want England to go to the World Cup in USA. It's not safe for our fans or player's. Plus I don't want the GB team to go to the Olympics.How much the USA say it will be safe, it not safe for their own citizens. We need to open a discourse about matter.
January 9, 2026 at 2:11 PM
Until the 2028 Olympics.
the 2026 world cup will be the 1936 olympics of this century

And that they have the intelligence of a suitcase full of rocks.
Trump talking about giving each person in Greenland $100,000 in US taxpayer money is incredibly America First. And he keeps sending fundraising emails to his cult promising them $2,000 checks if they send him money. At this point you can only conclude they like being hustled.

Those Gucci bags will be awfully cheap.

The food? Not so much.
The problem with an administration like this is they think they could start a nuclear war. Kill a few billion people. Sit in their bunkers for a couple of weeks. Come out of their bunkers.
And then carry on shopping at Gucci and having lunch at The Ivy.
