“What Canadians have done, of course, is they’re boycotting the U.S.,” one expert told ProPublica. People can only do so much about federal politics, he added, but by refusing to cross the border, “what they can do is … vote with their feet.”

Most World Cups are remembered for one thing, often something silly – Ronaldo’s pie chart haircut or Zinedine Zidane’s headbutt in the final.

This one will be remembered for Trump gleefully admitting the crime, followed a few hours later by 4-1.

This is the sort of small humiliation that lingers longer in the collective memory than sweeping policy insults. You can’t get people worked up for very long about tariffs. They’re too math-y. But rigging the World Cup? People will never forget you did that, and how badly you screwed it up.

So congratulations America, you’ve really run the table in this one. You were at your best, then your worst, and then your most hilarious.

The NYT sees itself not as a defender of journalistic principles or a champion of democratic values, but rather a theater critic for political actors. There are no real-world consequences here, no pain or suffering for the common people who aren't in their social circles. It's just a parlor game

The government should be protecting our public airports, not selling them off for parts. History is littered with examples of the failures of privatization. It drives up costs for the public, quality suffers, and workers always end up paying the price.

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars. There's just gotta be a line somewhere. Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.
