    What a great time and place for the World Cup.

    That FIFA Peace Prize is cursed, tho.

      i mean, its a gift from fifa to keep a rich whining baby shut. As all things FIFA, its only here for exploiting the people and benefiting the rich.

    With the way things are going, I doubt we will really have that much traffic coming in to the country if ice is still inundating the airports.

    I never thought I would see a walkout strike by the TSA, I also never would have expected to say critical support for TSA workers.

    So perfect time for an attack false flag and then blame the dems because they “refused to pay” TSA, then we have Pedonald declare no midterms.

    Oh boo hoo. This is the worry?

    Lets hope dems hold the line this time instead of caving in like they did last year so people wouldnt be inconvienenced at Thanksgiving.

      What do you mean? ICE isn’t going to get easy marks for their quota.

    World Cup Games in USA aren’t really worth going to. The good news is there are matches in Canada and Mexico.

    He gets the FIFA participation trophy and then continues to ensure that the world cup will be missing both players and fans.

    This is the first time I wish for the world cup to be a disaster, something I didn’t wish even for Qatar.
