World Cup 2026: What does the Middle East conflict mean for the tournament? What does the US conflict with Iran mean for what was already set to be a highly politicised World Cup this summer?

Every country should boycott it, no fans should go.

It's not safe, and it's morally reprehensible in many ways

Epstein’s Zorro Ranch is the target of 2 new investigations launched by the Epstein Truth Commission and the New Mexico Attorney General:

MAGA Rep Luna: “The bombing of Iran is not a war. It's a strategic strike.”

Putin: “The attack on Ukraine is not a war. It's a special military operation.”

As I've said many times, the Putinization of America continues.

In a New York minute.

If only Trump didn’t rip up the Iran Nuclear Deal that Obama brokered that was working perfectly. His ego wouldn’t allow himself to be outsmarted by a much smarter POTUS.

My dad thought he had a crook in his neck. He went to emergency room when it would not get better. He was told he had an old neck.
After awhile, he went to a doctor with those same X-rays in tow, as soon as they looked at it, he was told he had cancer.
Died in 3 months afterwards.

Always the first to flee while everyone else suffers the consequences.

Reminder 🙄

Trump on service members getting killed in his war: “That’s the way it is.”

Trump when his country called for him to serve: I have bone spurs.

Trump’s sons: We’re too busy making billions off daddy’s presidency in the Middle East to waste time as a sucker and loser.

Time to wipe out the entire Republican House of Representatives and John Fetterman

Make it make sense...

Trump has no heart, no sense of compassion. He said there have been American casualties and there will me more, then concluded "That's the way it is," as if to say ho hum, get used to it. He's not just a horrible president, he's a horrible person!

NEVER FORGET.......

An online comment: "'That's the way it is' says the draft dodger from his golf club."

You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America.

And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.

Chris Murphy: "It won't be the billionaire children of Donald Trump and his buddies that die. It's going to be the children of middle class and poor families all across this country that are gonna die for a war of choice, a war of vanity, an illegal war."

Sunday thought: Trump’s Real Reason for War Friends,

What's the real reason for this war in Iran? Trump and Netanyahu are using the same authoritarian playbook. A big part of that playbook is using war to blot out your failures and any criticism you are facing at home.

Some thoughts...

The Clintons Just Turned The Tables On Trump, CEO Refuses To Back Down To The Pentagon, and Senators Demand $175 Billion Tariff Refund Trump tried to bury this great news—and he failed miserably

Trump: Earlier today, CENTCOM shared the news that three U.S. military service members have been killed in action… And sadly, there will likely be more before it ends. That’s the way it is. Likely be more.

The WH reporter for the NYT thinks “that’s the way it is” = expressing condolences. 😳

Graham is 5’7”.
This hinders his ability to see beyond this minute what Trump plan is tomorrow

I can’t shake that for Donald Trump, casualties are for suckers and losers.

This Weekend in Politics, Bulletin 318. … US Central Command: “3 US service members have been killed in action and 5 are seriously wounded as part of Operation Epic Fury. Several others sustained minor shrapnel injuries and concussions.

ANNA PAULINA LUNA: It is not the intention of the US government to invade

RAMPELL: Did we not just invade?

LUNA: Are you seeing boots on the ground there?

RAMPELL: We just killed the leader of the country! The president has called it a war

LUNA: Strategic strikes are not war

JORDAN: Really?

Rep. Luna(tic) is long on talking points, and very short on facts.

Hard agree
