Unreal — Gianni Infantino is selling off pieces of FIFA, and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner’s brother Josh is overseeing the deal. The corruption is endless.

AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM: All of the countries playing in the World Cup have universal healthcare EXCEPT for the US. We have other priorities, like pointless wars, golden ballrooms, terrorizing our people on the streets, concentration camps, and ruining reflecting pools by painting over marble.

Thomas Massie pushed for the release of the Epstein files, and the response has been tens of millions in outside spending, smear campaigns, and coordinated attacks. If this is what they do to a sitting member of Congress, imagine what Epstein survivors face when considering whether to come forward.
