« Gianni Infantino doit avoir le courage de démissionner ou de solliciter un vote de confiance », estime le Congolais Constant Omari, ancien membre du conseil de la FIFA

L’ex-président par intérim de la Confédération africaine de football estime, dans un entretien au « Monde », que les dirigeants africains du football « doivent ouvrir les yeux et les bons » sur le président de la FIFA, fragilisé depuis l’abandon de son projet de création de société commerciale.

holy shit -- Schiff ties Trump's judicial nominees in knots by asking them who won the 2016 before *before* asking them who won in 2020, which results in them sounding like election deniers about Trump's victories!

🚨 Rep. Max Miller again alludes to blackmail material he has on Sen. Bernie Moreno: "He felt the political pressure because some of the rumors that were circulating about him that he doesn't want to get out. I have no intention of sharing what will eventually become public."

When we play the MCC from 14-16 August, the matches will be played at Tungubakkavöllur, Mosfellsbær. If the MCC beat us, we will ask their squad to pronounce the venue, and if they do not do a satisfactory job, we will declare 'a moral victory'. We will judge them fairly.

The EU will provide Ukraine with another €1.4 billion from proceeds generated by frozen Russian assets, Prime Minister Serhii Koretskyi said. The funding will strengthen Ukraine's defense and national resilience as Russia continues its attacks. #Ukraine

If you claim, “This document is solely to promote doing X to Y” when the document contains multiple worked examples of “Here is why doing X to Y is wrong”, then all you are doing is demonstrating to anyone who has read and understood the document that you are a spoofer and should be treated as such.

Anglosphere talking to Anglosphere and agreeing with the Anglosphere (except for the Irish because reasons) is not the kind of analysis that will improve UK relations with the EU

Trump on Venezuela: "They had the tragedy the other day with the problem, as you know. That was a terrible problem. The uhhh, earthquake I guess you would call it." (The quake was in June)

As a note: Boots Theory dates from 1993. Some twenty years before, for example, the middle aisles of Lidl and Aldi. Things change, you know? As the writer who took Ankh-Morpork from Conanesque fantasy to the beginnings of a Dwarf Device-powered Industrial Revolution was aware.

Plus, you know, that whole “Central and Eastern European freedom” thing.

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

BREAKING Trump administration cancels Brazilian ambassador's visa Announcement comes week after Brazil denied visas to two State Department officials Trump planned to send to undermine confidence in the country's elections

Trump administration cancels Brazilian ambassador’s visa in tit-for-tat

A senior State Department official told reporters in a background briefing that it was a “reciprocal” action because Brazil has not approved President Donald Trump’s nominee as ambassador to Brasilia.

Depicting Jewish people with horns is a centuries-old, dehumanizing, antisemitic trope. Democratic Gov nominee Phil Weiser is outspoken about his mother’s birth in a Nazi concentration camp, his family members killed in the Holocaust, and the threat posed by antisemitism today.

I know we attribute a lot of wrong to social media but I’m pretty sure there was once a time when someone apologising was grounds to sheathe your weapons, not stick the boot in.

Apologies: I’m not online much, I haven't paid any attention to Rod Liddle for a long time, I didn't really know his extremes. I do now: I wouldn’t have posted if I'd known. I’ve seen death of difficult people up close (and its impact on others): that’s the only reason it was on my mind as an issue.

More incendiary stuff. Prince Ali, the FA president from Jordan, who was a rival to Infantino in his first election in 2016, alleges FIFA attempted to effectively blackmail theJordanian FA, withholding funds until they had provided backing to Infantino for next year’s election.

I think the "I am just a smoll bean" joke is overdone, but the Senate of the United States can't do anything to rein in the President is that joke.
