I see #FIFA_Ethics is trending so it’s one of two things:

(a) Today is April 1 2026 and I’m only just coming out of that a coma I’ve been in for the last 3 1/2 months

(b) Today is oxymoron day and no one told me.

Trump is in Putin’s pocket.
Putin is in Xi’s pocket.
Republicans and Democrats alike should be able to agree: that’s bad for America.

Snub? What snub? Because he said he deserved it and didn't get it, that constitutes a snub??? There is a journalistic virus that causes its hosts to use language curiously framed from the rancid Trumpian perspective. What about "Ass kissing FIFA manufacture stupid award to appease man child".
Donald Trump said it was 'one of the great honours' of his life to receive Fifa’s inaugural Peace Prize on Friday. on.ft.com/4piJZVf

Biden shows a bit of cognitive decline:

@jaketapper.bsky.social writes a whole ass book.

Trump falls asleep at his own cabinet meetings and daily acts like the most demented psychopath on Earth:

@jaketapper.bsky.social says "that's just Trump being Trump."

That's why Jake Tapper is a damn clown.

The boats the regime is claiming are going from Venezuela to the US would need to refuel over 20 times to get to Miami.

They are lying to us.

Current US Policy:

If you’re suspected of trafficking a small amount of drugs with no evidence, we will murder you, but if you’re convicted of trafficking an enormous amount of drugs with copious evidence, we will pardon you. Because we are currently a very stupid country.
