The 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.

Congratulations to the USA on achieving their historic “victory”. The Iranian Ministry of Defence is currently meeting to plan the next stages of accelerated uranium enrichment.
If serving Americans actualize this threat tonight, no civilizations are going to die. Civilizations do not die. What might well be severely injured, however, is America’s reputation as a civilized nation, a regime of liberty and justice, guided by the rule of law + stewardship of the free world.
Extract from tonight’s presidential address: “People have got to know whether or not their President's a crook Well I am a narcissistic, incompetent, sociopathic, petulant crook and proud of it. I'm earned nothing I’ve got. So I hereby tender my resignation.”
Gratitude to the wonderful participants in Canadian Politics - final class of the term

“Our only hope for the rationalization of the power structure lies in conditions that favor political power for thought through dialogue. The redeeming power of reflection cannot be supplanted by the extension of technically exploitable knowledge.” Toward a Rational Society RIP Jürgen Habermas
Supreme Leader-to-be Mojtaba Khamenei is insisting on having a say in selecting the next President of the United States. He is demanding Trump be made President for Life.

Spot on.
