All politics aside, he doesn't care at all about or value anyone without the name Donald J. Trump. He'd even take a flamethrower to his kids and push one of his wives down the stairs if it benefited him, even for a second. What makes you think he has your best interests at heart? He's a slumlord.

Your mind is shaped by what you expose it to every day. Garbage in, garbage out. And vice versa. Get off the couch and move.

Bigots are afraid of progress. Afraid of change. Afraid of inclusion AND being excluded. Afraid of difference. Strip away the hate, and what is left is fear. They're fucking afraid.

UNREAL. I've never experienced a soccer match like this, let alone one between two giants in the World Cup. Well done, England🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 and France🇫🇷! Thank you.

Few things move me like the World Cup. There’s something powerful about men, young and old, from every corner of the globe, watching their heroes compete with strength, passion, and courage—then openly shed tears on the pitch. Despite FIFA, soccer/football is a beautiful game.

Absolutely insane that Cape Verde — a country of 500,000 — played Spain, Uruguay and Argentina…and lost to none of them in regulation. Easily one of the greatest performances in World Cup history.

Soccer unites cultures. The World Cup proves it is the answer. FIFA is the cancer eating away at that promise. Tear it down. Rebuild it with integrity.

The debate about #Messi or #Ronaldo? Pointless. Both are the best at what they do. We’re lucky to watch a pantheon of soccer gods at once. Stop comparing—just enjoy it. A #FIFAWorldCup final between them would be the single greatest sporting event ever.

Idea for a xmas horror film: Sleigher. Evil Santa and his demon elves and zombie reindeer go around the world once a year and slaughter all the naughtiest people. It's like the Purge meets It's a Wonderful Life. Take the idea, just credit me as an executive producer. You're welcome.

Since 2016, I’ve warned Russian chaos agents are targeting youth—including autistic kids—through online forums & games, grooming them into mass violence. Being autistic ≠ violent. But predators exploit vulnerabilities. Stop ignoring it. Take it seriously. Protect your kids.

The order tests the power of Trump's authority and would require voters using a federal form to show proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. It's sure to be tested in court.
