++Sky News++ captured his words, as he explained: “”Yes, I asked for a review by FIFA. I spoke to a man [Infantino] who is highly respected. I’m the one who got them to do it, not Biden. Biden was asleep.”

    Can Donal Trump die of old age already? We’re all just waiting for a cheeseburger to do him in. Seems like ghouls live to be a hundred. There’s some law of physics going on here, violating the space time continuum by wishing ill of them.

      My god I love Mike Luckovich. He might be the best political cartoonist out there. Been enjoying his work since the 1990s.

    We had a good thing, you stupid son of a bitch

    Anyone who knew someone like Trump would ruin a well-oiled grift machine.

    This sorry excuse for a human being has less planning skills than a pool of piranhas.

    He could have called Infantino, have the suspension reversed and brushed away tbe journalist’s question with a joke, but he’s even worse than Berlusconi.

    Well the ownership class of the US is a bunch of Karens. We know this.

    And we know FIFA is corrupt AF, even more than the NFL.

    What’s vulgar about it now is that it’s done without a lick of subtlety or tact. The corruption is out in the open. They’re doing the Qu’ils mangent de la brioche more plainly and more often than was ever done in France.

    ( Technical history fact: Marie Antoinette never said it, but the rumor was viciously spread and sped her way to the guillotine. The historic queen was classically trained and actually had tact. The French aristocracy, however, did not.)

    But did they tell him that balogun not only is black, but got the citizenship by ius soli, two things he hate and wants to remove?

      It’s just part of his cognitive bias manipulation.

      He has to keep up chipping away logical reasoning and at some point people just accept it as truth.

        It works, unfortunately. For example, Trump supporters believe that cyclist actually damaged the Reflecting Pool because he was arrested. Being arrested must mean he did it, right?

      Robert Baratheon: What about Aerys Targaryen? What did the Mad King say when you stabbed him in the back? I never asked. Did he call you a traitor? Did he plead for a reprieve?

      Jaime Lannister: He said the same thing he’d been saying for hours… Burn them all!

            Brother all big sports are theater & scripted, not just football.

            I bet you believe all those players holding their legs on the ground from being tapped begging for a card are actually hurt and not acting.

      His references are out of control. I have to admit it’s pretty sweet that da mayor is a proficient footie shitposter.
