Americans realizing thier gov has been illegally taxing them for over a year and billionaires are getting the refund instead of the customers

The media crusade against Mamdani is led by reporters who think most people have estate lawyers.

It's quite obvious that the USA World Cup was used by Infantino, in cahoots with Trump, to demonstrate to investors how much money can be extracted out of the beautiful game. The whole thing - the hydration breaks, the awful half time show - it was all a set-up.

Donald Trump has earned more money in his first and second year, in his second term as president, than in the previous 60 years of his life, per Bloomberg.

Michelle Obama said we should fix this and everyone called her a communist

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

This answer from Trump about the Cyclospora outbreak that has now expanded to 9 states should lead every newscast:

Q: When is it going to be safe to eat lettuce again?
Trump: I don't know. I haven't thought about it.

I’m pretty sure Mayor Mamdani doesn’t want to live in a city with a man accused of hiring a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law, secretly recording the encounter on video, then mailing the tape to his own sister, then going to prison for tax evasion and witness tampering.

Meanwhile you have an orange buffoon in the USA who convinced a bunch of stupid people that solar doesn't work and windmills cause cancer...
You can't have nice things because you're stupid.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but it’s illegal for landlords to:

- Lock you out or evict you without a court order.

- Shut off your heat, hot water, electricity, or other essential services to force you out of your home.

- Retaliate against you for reporting unsafe conditions or exercising your tenant rights.

- Leave serious health and safety hazards, like mold, unrepaired.

- Discriminate against you because of your race, disability, or other protected characteristics.

It’s been a privilege to watch this team. I’m a born and bred Red Sox fan.

[Man City Brazil @ManCityBrazil]

O comentarista suíço David Lemos, encerrou a transmissão resumindo com precisão os problemas desta Copa do Mundo, ele foi perfeito.

🗣️"Não há dúvidas de que esta foi a Copa do Mundo mais comercial da história e também uma das mais politizadas."

"Não esqueceremos os preços que pessoas sem grande poder aquisitivo tiveram de pagar para viver sua paixão pelo futebol."

"Em alguns casos, sequer puderam entrar no país por causa de sua nacionalidade, fossem torcedores, jornalistas ou até árbitros, como o somali Omar Artan."

"Também lembramos do tratamento inaceitável dado à seleção do Irã, que não pôde defender suas chances de forma adequada durante o torneio."

"E há ainda o caso de Folarin Balogun. Vimos um presidente se vangloriar de ter ligado para o presidente da FIFA para conseguir retirar a suspensão de um jogador."

"A política se infiltrou no coração do futebol, embora a FIFA afirme querer mantê-la acima de tudo. Fica claro que isso só vale até certo ponto."

"Foi uma Copa do Mundo em que todas as partidas foram disputadas em quatro tempos, e cuja final teve um intervalo de quase 30 minutos."

"A crise tem dois nomes: dinheiro e poder. Hoje existe uma crise de confiança entre muitos dos envolvidos no futebol e a FIFA."

"Nas próximas semanas, muito dinheiro será distribuído a diversas federações e a muitos agentes do futebol, que serão educadamente convidados a permanecer em silêncio."

"Esperamos que tudo isso seja levado em consideração e que não volte a acontecer."

[Adam Schwarz @AdamJSchwarz]

Leandro Paredes should be banned from international football for life viciously assaulting Spanish players after the final whistle.

Indefensible thuggery and criminality.

Gracias, equipo.

@quelleheuretil At the end of that game I stopped cheering for Argentina for good. They mocked the Dutch players as they sat there devastated.

[Out of Context Football Manager @nocontextfm1]

Trump just refusing to leave when they’re lifting the trophy.

Infantino desperately trying to get him to move.

Circus.

“When the last tree is cut, the last fish is caught, and the last river is polluted; when to breathe the air is sickening, you will realize, too late, that wealth is not in bank accounts and that you can’t eat money.”

[herculez gomez @herculezg]

Red Card was never overturned, and FIFA never admitted there was a mistake by the referees. They even fined Balogun $40K. They just ‘suspended’ the suspension. He's on probation.

An embarrassing way of handling the situation that has opened up Pandora’s box.

[Aakash Gupta @aakashgupta]

In Germany, a talented 14-year-old earns his club money. In America, his parents pay the club $15,000 a year.

That single inversion explains why "we will not" is the most accurate line ever written about US soccer.

FIFA built a global system for this. Training compensation and solidarity payments send a cut of every transfer fee back to the clubs that developed the player, from age 12 onward. Develop one future pro and your academy gets paid for a decade. Barcelona's La Masia, Ajax, every Bundesliga academy runs on this logic. The kid is the asset.

US Soccer refuses to enforce those rules. When Seattle's Crossfire Premier claimed its $60,000 share of DeAndre Yedlin's transfer to Tottenham, it got nothing. Claims on the Dempsey and Bradley transfers died partly because the federation couldn't even produce the youth training records.

So American clubs earn zero dollars when a kid turns pro. They earn when a kid enrolls. Which makes the parent the customer, and the product is whatever keeps the parent writing checks: travel tournaments, hotel weekends, $500 showcase events, private training at $100 an hour. Elite pathways run $8,000 to $20,000 a year. A comparable academy spot in Italy costs about 120 euros.

Follow the incentive one level deeper and it gets darker. A club dependent on fees can't cut its weakest paying players, so rosters optimize for retention over development. The scouting pool shrinks to families who can afford the cliff, which appears around age 11, exactly when development matters most. The country runs a talent filter sorted by household income instead of ability.

Every four years someone proposes fixing this. The proposal always requires the people profiting from the $15,000 model to vote themselves out of business.

They will not.
