I love my country deeply.
I support and respect our amazing athletes.
But I loathe that festering pustule who has to contaminate everything in his path, and who did so once again with the World Cup.
I'm glad that he doesn't get to gloat about something else he wouldn't have deserved.
God Bless America.
Proud of you, USMNT.
Fuck Donald Trump.
Congrats, Belgium.
Chris Christie is spot on. This isn’t just another round of Trump family grifting—it’s the normalization of treating the presidency as a family business. When the person holding the highest office (and his inner circle) can pull in billions through crypto and other ventures while still wielding presidential power, it doesn’t just look corrupt. It is corrupt in a way that directly attacks the foundation of self-government.
The bigger picture for the country is worse than any single deal. It teaches every future leader and every ambitious family that the office is a vehicle for personal enrichment rather than public service. It accelerates the collapse of trust in institutions that were already fragile. It hands our adversaries a propaganda gift: “See? America is no different from the regimes it lectures.” And it deepens the cynicism that already makes governing harder—why should average citizens play by rules the people at the top openly ignore?
This is how republics slide. Not always with dramatic coups, but through the slow acceptance that “everyone does it” and “at least he’s on our side.” We’re watching that acceptance get tested in real time. The damage isn’t just to one administration’s reputation—it’s to the long-term health of the country’s governing norms.
Just got off the phone with my college roommate.
His daughter was diagnosed with leukemia in January.
He has insurance. Good insurance. The kind you feel safe having.
7 months later:
Savings: wiped out. 401k: cashed early. Penalties and all. House: refinanced to cover the gaps insurance decided weren’t their problem.
He told me he’s not the same person anymore.
Said watching your child fight for her life while simultaneously fighting an insurance company over coverage codes does something to you that doesn’t go away.
They did everything right.
Two incomes. No debt. Responsible their whole lives.
One diagnosis undid all of it in 7 months.
And somewhere a health insurance CEO is getting a $30 million bonus this quarter.
I don’t know how people defend this system with a straight face.
I really don’t.
