And there you have it.
Donald Trump released these documents tonight believing they would finally prove the 2020 election was rigged against him.
Instead, his own release reinforced the exact opposite: Russia interfered to damage Joe Biden and benefit Donald Trump.
The central @HunterBiden -Burisma bribery smear was built on fabricated claims from an FBI informant with Russian contacts, a man now serving six years in federal prison. Meanwhile, Hunter Biden is winning millions in court over defamatory lies.
Trump tried to expose a conspiracy against himself and accidentally exposed the operation that benefited him.
Absolute, breathtaking incompetence.
Thanks for releasing the receipts, Donald!
Trump says Democrats forgot to rig the election in 2016, successfully rigged it while *he* was president in 2020, then forgot how to rig it again in 2024. So the only election Democrats supposedly stole was the one he himself controlled.
You have to be a special kind of stupid to believe this bullshit.
About 40% of American voters are abject imbeciles, unable to discern reality from fiction— believing the earth is flat, vaccines are dangerous, they’re “eating the dogs,” etc.
If you can’t tell that Trump is by far the most stupid person ever elected, you’re clearly one of them.
If Count Binface ends Nigel Farage’s political career in this silly hissyfit unnecessary by-election it will be the single greatest moment in British politics
For the past year, MAGA has been screaming “Europoor” like a cheap car alarm going off at three in the morning. Nobody asked for it, nobody knows how to turn it off.
But then along comes this chart.
America sits at number four in average wealth. Except “average” is the statistic billionaires hide behind. Put Elon Musk in a room with 500 broke MAGA guys, and on average, everyone in that room is a multibillionaire. That’s the trick!
Now look at the median. The actual middle American, the real one with the pickup truck, the missing teeth and the medical debt. Fourteenth place. Behind Belgium. Behind Italy. Behind Spain. And the ordinary European? The man MAGA calls a Europoor pays $9 for his insulin, glances over at the American paying $900 for the exact same vial, shrugs, and goes back to being more than twice as wealthy. He’d feel sorry for you, but honestly, he’s too busy being on vacation.
And that gap between fourth and fourteenth? That’s not a statistical quirk. That’s the entire scam laid bare. America’s wealth exists. It’s just not yours. It belongs to about eleven people in Palo Alto, and you’ve been guarding it for them for free, like an unpaid nightclub bouncer, shouting at Europeans on the internet while the owners drink champagne inside.
American exceptionalism. No other nation on Earth has ever been this successfully convinced to cheer for its own fleecing.
So by all means, keep shouting Europoor. We’ll be over here with our healthcare, our six weeks of vacation, and our double-your-median wealth, trying very hard to hear you over the sound of how sorry we feel.
Americans using “Belgium should want the USA at full strength” as the excuse for Balogun playing is hilarious.
The arrogance is insane. The U.S. has never won a major international trophy outside CONCACAF, yet somehow we’re supposed to believe Belgium is sitting there terrified of them? Please.
This isn’t about Belgium being scared. It’s about FIFA applying the rules consistently. Stop acting like the world is begging to avoid the USMNT. That main character syndrome is exactly why people laugh.
genuinely depressing the slew of fellow American journalists (+ colleagues) contorting themselves into shameless knots to insist that overt corruption is an act of profound patriotism bc it benefits them, if you can’t have shame at least have the dignity to not be so tone deaf
Amazing how the World Cup was doing a legitimately good job of bringing the world together and rehabilitating the USA’s reputation, now all anybody will remember is Trump’s political interference. The world is indeed united, but now it’s against the American cheats. Such a shame.
