Lots of soccer fans are very invested in ‘the world game’- they’ll turn up. Infantino has probably done some kind of deal w trump to cool it during the tournament? Crooked.

You mean like the Samsung plant Koreans…..

Birkenstock raised prices globally to offset the cost of tariffs in the US and limit the amount they had to raise prices there to cover the tariff. Everyone loses.

Just boycott Birkenstock - I have.

Donald Trump's example is an enormous inspiration to people worldwide suffering the devastating effects of loss of cognitive function.

Cognitive decline is no longer any barrier to entry to the most powerful office in the world.

Thankyou.
At last someone who offers a civil and balanced argument.

Good arguments. I will have to think about it before responding.

How did you end up getting on here, oh good faith purveyor of rational discussion?

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

I can't help it but be fascinated to know the mindset of those who still support the Trump regime. I mean it seems his approval rating is around 36pc? There are a still a lot of people who have stuck, seemingly including Monkeys, if they are not some sort of bot?

I mean, I would have thought the one single issue of Trump's blatant personal grift would be enough for anyone to want him impeached and jailed, let alone believing he is doing good things for the US. And that is but a fraction of the overall s***show. I can't believe it's just stupidity.

You haven't read enough about cults obviously.

The more reality impinges on your beliefs, the more you dig down into your beliefs.

It's exactly how con artists work. Very few people get badly ripped off first up. It's after they've put a little bit of money into a crook scheme and lost it, and the alarms bells are going off, but no-one wants to admit they've been hoodwinked, so that's when they pour more money into it.

And that's when the con artists make their big bucks.

Also once you're in deep enough, and you've compromised your relationships with anyone who isn't part of the cult, even once you 'know' you're wrong, you have to stick with it or lose what little social connection you have left.

There was a good documentary on flat earthers a few years ago, where a few of them basically admitted they didn't believe in it any more but they'd gone so hard for so long that they had no family or friends left outside of the flat earth community. So they just maintained a facade of belief to have the community.

I suspect there's a few pro-Trump posters on here who know deep down they've been had, but feel like they've picked a team and have to stick with it rather than admit it.

Then there's some who are the true believers, some of whom are just genuinely hateful people happy to see those they dislike suffer.

Has to be racism it's a drug to trump supporters where they just can't kick the habit despite all the evidence that he just doesn't give a shit about them.
Combined with a dose of not wanting to admit they where wrong about him all along.

Its now 2025 not 2016 where a lot was most likely not known by the average trump ignoramus .
Thanks to the likes of Fox News .

There's now a mountain of further evidence proving trump is one of the worst humans ever to live but they still stick .

It actually says more about imbecile trump supporters than it does about trump himself...

Dont you have to be a customer already before you can boycott? Counts me out. I’m not even sure what Birkenstock makes.

FIFA's fan base are hardly the type to avoid political controversy. They're football fans.

And most of these stadia/cities are used to NFL fans, so it's hardly going to be out of the ordinary for drunken rowdiness.

On the contrary, there is nothing unexpected in what he is doing. He is simply putting in place actions to support his promises. ie Peace in the Middle East, tariffs on imports, tighten up the borders, crack down on illegal immigrants, crack down on Federal waste, end wokeness in government and yes that means men in womens sports.
These are all things he strongly campaigned on.

On the flip side none of the doom and gloom has come true.
Abortions are still a state based matter despite the crazy belief he would ban them, democracy has not ended - elections take place as they always have, the list goes on and on and on.

People see through all the hysteria. They look at what is happening to them in real terms.
Continuing to lie about what he will do or has done is just sinking the Dems further and further away from mainstream USA

Didnt he say he would lower prices and fix the economy?

How is that looking?

How many men play womens sports?

Is there peace in the ME? ( truly? )

The funniest one is cutting government waste - yes you can point to DOGE but you dont cut then over spend elsewhere - thats just shifting waste - ballroom? Unless the Fed Government doesnt pay the bills as Donny is wont to do then its waste

So just one, simple question. Are you OK with the blatant grift Donald Trump has engaged in?

No, its not shifting waste. Its making the spending of money more efficient.
In terms of lower prices and fixing the economy, that is not a 'click your fingers' and its done problem. Most people understand that.
