A warning to anyone planning to attend a World Cup game: Do not attend a World Cup game in the United States. Even American citizens are at risk of being kidnapped, beaten, murdered, or placed in an inhumane detention facility. A football (soccer) game is not worth the risk. STAY HOME STAY SAFE

Are we talking about the expose' CNN posted about the online rape academy, where men to go learn how to drug and rape their partners? #Pelicot used this source to fuel his horrific treatment of his wife and now we have learned this is widespread. Shocked is an understatement. #horror #rape

I find it extraordinarily hard to deal with people who are unreasonable, who feel little or no empathy, who act purely on the basis of impulsivity and self-interest. We must find a way to survive him.

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

At some point, satire taps out and reality keeps typing. A U.S. president telling a foreign leader he no longer feels obligated to think “purely of peace” because he didn’t receive a Nobel Prize would once have been dismissed as parody.
