Paul Nesbitt-Larking @pwnl.bsky.social · 07/07/2026The corrupt intervention of the sitting US President in a routine football decision has backfired. American players were humiliated and demoralized, while the Belgians were emboldened. The results: Belgium won 4-1. USA lost. More importantly, football itself was tainted by the filthy hands of greed. 031

Paul Nesbitt-Larking @pwnl.bsky.social · 25/01/2026It’s time for a cauterization: a coordinated temporary secession of American states committed to democracy, justice + the rule of law.
