The US needs to get their World Cup and Olympic privileges taken away until we get ourselves straightened out

I've been thinking that might happen for a while, I would not be surprised if it did.

I would genuinely be so sad for the athletes because they would lose out and that SUCKS. But the US needs to have strong messages sent to it.

The US is more on track than in decades, finally. Even Europe is following the example.

Im guessing that would be a generally acceptable sanction, however it might just be that Mr. TACO is doing this to limit the inevitable boost in revenue to California as they host the games. Removing the privilege from the entire country would level the table, so far as the incentive is to enrich a local/national economy.

The World Cup games in 2026 should be moved to Canada and Mexico. The Summer Games of 2028 should be cancelled or boycotted.

Foreign visitors are Not welcome here ( only their wallets are) and they are Not safe. US citizens aren’t safe anymore.

Maybe there needs to be a writing campaign were citizens contact the Olympic committee and express our thoughts on this.

I hope you’re correct. But it better be addressed soon. The logistics of getting players, venues and accommodations are staggering.

As a soccer lover I would to travel to Canada and Mexico.

I am sure that would be a safer alternative.

As an Angelino I am positive that undocumented folks would be a major contribution to the success of the games.

These folks are not begging for a handout all they are offering is their talent. Skilled and unskilled workers yearning for pennies to improve their lives.

Warmth, warmth and more warmth, for we die of cold and not of darkness, it is not the night that kills but the frost.

I would have to agree, but it’s going to take him doing something radical to the Republicans or they’ll just cower in fear & let him run roughshod over him. Seriously though, when you think about it, how flipping stupid is it to let this dumbass hold that much power over them? He’s just a fucked up demented old man who is in decline right now and trying to wield power over people. If they get a fucking backbone and stand up, people will think better of them.

The money we’ve lost and will continue to lose in tourism is so damaging.

And my normal comment -

Call. Write. Email. Unrelentingly.

Use/share this spreadsheet as a resource to call/email/write members of Congress, the Cabinet and news organizations. Reach out to your own reps, as well as those in other states on a specific committee important to a topic you’re sharing. Use your voice and make some “good trouble.”

So, we ban 12 countries. With zero regard for allowing 17 members of a cartel family in our country. Not to mention the WC! Several of those countries have teams that would compete. ~ Next up we have the multiple judges saying one thing While he does the complete opposite. I don't believe for one second that there's nothing we can do about this man disregarding a judges ruling.

Project 2025 is behind all of this. Russell Vought, Stephen Miller, Kevin Roberts ( CEO) of the Heritage Foundation. Peter Thiel, Elon Muskrat. A lot of members of Congress are also co-authors of Project 2025. I will not stop reminding people of this. People tend to easily forget because so much shit is thrown out there daily. Steve Banon, anyone? I am missing a lot of other names from the tech broligarhs.. but there are many more. They are also the ones pushing 🫸 the putrid tangerine mussolini to take over Greenland 🇬🇱 and the Panama 🇵🇦 Canal. They also would love to start an actual fucking war with Canada 🇨🇦 for their minerals and whatever the hell other shit that pops up in their head. And it's because they want to use these lands to fuck them up with their tests, Elon with his rockets 🚀 and for so many other demented reasons. Last but not least our beautiful National Parks!!! They want to drill for oils 🛢 lumber and give these lands that belong to we the people to the billionaire oligarchs to do as they please with them as if it were their play thing. The orange turd is willing to give this up because he's a malignant narcissistic psychopath and transactional. Remember all these things and let's fight them tooth and nail to stop them and REMOVE them!

They are also destroying the American people by taking away our health care and jobs. To keep us weak and sick. Because a weak and sick populace can't fight back. They want us dependent on them so that they can turn around privatize everything in order to continue hoarding wealth. They could give two shits about us. This isn't l, or shouldn't be a fight amongst us. This is a fight of survival against the ultra rich at the top. Those are who we need to fight. I wish the brainless sycophantic morons of MAGA would understand this. Sooner or later they'll be force to face it!

You've nailed it. That is exactly who and what is behind the madman 47 they keep in office. The plan is an oligarchy, run by and for the largest corporations, which will only be run by white males. They know that educated people are an obstacle to this, which is why they are trying to dismantle public education and attacking universities. The list goes on but you get the point. I have the manifest of Project 2025 including it's summary, which I sent to folks before the election. The magas told me "oh, rump said he's not part of that" even though he's written in it at least 300 times. And here we are. Yes, we need to fight them tooth and nail!

The orange turd doesn't read let alone wrote. He knows about it because they told him about it. And he agreed with it because he's a malignant narcissistic psychopath sadist. He loves and thrives in chaos. And Project 2025 is just that, chaos. So he goes along with it because he is their useful idiot puppet, just like he's also Putin's useful idiot.
