17 STRAIGHT DAYS OF ABSOLUTE MADNESS 🍿

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

A reminder that Jimmy Carter sold his peanut farm to avoid conflicts of interest.

Now we have a president openly buying and selling stocks and crypto while his family business keeps making business deals all over the world that directly profit him, and it’s all treated as normal.

Meanwhile, Republicans like James Comer and Jim Jordan are still obsessing over Hunter Biden’s paintings and Hillary Clinton’s emails.

Drain. The. Swamp

🗣️🎙️| Oliver Khan on Real Madrid players attitude:

“Things need to be done to stop this. They can’t keep getting away with it. It always end in chaos whenever things don’t go their way, they act like every correct refereeing decision should favor them.

And tonight was no different. They did the same thing against us last season, and here we are again this season. It’s unacceptable, and it has to be stopped. Honestly, it says a lot about how they’ve managed to win 15 UCL titles.”

The United States is so toxic on the world stage right now that it can’t fill hotels or sell World Cup tickets.

Let that land.

FIFA projected $30.5 billion in economic impact from millions of international visitors.

That demand never showed up.

Hotels in Atlanta, Dallas, Miami, Philadelphia and San Francisco have slashed match-day rates by a third from their peak.

FIFA has cancelled tens of thousands of reserved rooms across all 16 host cities.

Some hotels report cancellation rates above 95%.

The reasons aren’t hard to find. Anti-American sentiment. Fear of border crossings. The Iran war driving up oil prices and airfares. And tickets priced into the stratosphere, with finals seats hitting $10,990 a pop.

Industry executives are now openly blaming the Trump administration for the shortfall.

Tourism economists say the Iran war made an already bad sentiment problem worse.

Empty stadiums are now a real possibility.

It happened at the Club World Cup last summer.

It could happen again, on American soil, at the biggest sporting event on the planet.

The White House says this will be “the greatest World Cup ever.”

The market disagrees.

This whole tournament is perfectly encapsulating corporate greed

[Hemant Mehta @hemantmehta]

This is based on the memo Pakistan posted that was written by the White House so that Trump could chicken out with “dignity”?

[Matt @_wavymatt]

What a clown

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

BREAKING: President Trump has agreed to suspend bombing on Iran for 2 weeks.

[Jecontento @ContentJuan]

Wilmar Barrios es mucho más jugador que Kevin Castaño, nunca entendí porque lo borraron de la Selección

[The Green Dragon Tavern @greendragonhq]

Donald Trump has the slowest GDP growth of any President in the last 100 years.

The top three are Democrats.

6 out of the bottom 8 are Republicans.

But yeah, Republicans are good for the economy!

[Your Best Version @YourPrimePath]

Always pray for alignment. To be at the right place, at the right time, around the right people who will help you get to your destiny.

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

Oh.

So they want Obama’s nuclear deal minus Obama’s signature.

Got it.

[Jared Ryan Sears @JaredRyanSears]

Trump wants to increase the military budget from $1 trillion to $1.5 trillion next year.

$500 billion more for a defense budget that is already the largest in the world and bigger than the next 9 nations combined.

With $500 billion, America could:
-continue the ACA subsidies
-undo the Medicaid cuts
-undo the SNAP cuts
-house all the homeless
-enact free school lunches for all
-enact universal Pre-K
-cover the Social Security spending gap
-enact free college, trade schools, or apprenticeships for all
-create a federal paid parental leave program
-and still have $100 billion dollars left over

Congress continues to find funding for an ever-expanding military that can't pass an audit, only to turn around and say we don't have money to end poverty, homelessness, and hunger, or to give our citizens the opportunities needed to make a better life for themselves.

[watermelon @navnavnav22]

World Cup tickets for Chase Sapphire sold out? Really? I don’t think a single real human got through what kind of shit is that? @Chase just disappointing man do better

[Amber Woods @AmberWoods100]

Zero “illegal criminal aliens” in the Epstein files so far.

Just billionaires.
Royals.
CEOs.
Politicians.

Funny how that works.

[Has Real Madrid robbed a club ? @Has_RMrbdaclub]

Real Madrid fans:
"The System is against us"

The system literally every week:

[Miss Jilianne @MissJilianne]

If they’ll kill a U.S. citizen in broad daylight and lie about, imagine what they do to immigrants when nobody is watching.

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

Children die in school shootings and it’s “not the guns”.

Mass shootings claim lives multiple times a year and it’s “not the guns”.

Kyle Rittenhouse shot 3 people during a protest and it’s “not the guns”

ICE kills Alex Pretti, and suddenly it’s his fault because he “had a gun”

[Warren Gunnels @GunnelsWarren]

A 5% wealth tax on 200 billionaires worth $2 trillion in California isn’t scary. They’d still be worth $1.9 trillion.

What’s scary is 1 out of 4 cancer patients in America either declare bankruptcy or lose their homes to eviction or foreclosure due to medical debt. That’s scary.
