The 2026 World Cup

[New York Red]

Well, King Donald of Orange has even stuck his fat ass into this situation. Not that I have any sympathy for FIFA, and I'd love the see a good World Cup back in the US. But it looks like he may have f*cked up and I couldn't be happier. I want him to be a disaster in every way.

Well at least he will be long gone by the time this World Cup happens. I hope that c*nt Pence isn't in his seat.

Hope so. Was thinking he'd be in prison or dead after January 6th - but here we are...

I'm try to get to some of this - most likely in Seattle/Vancouver. Not if the orange b*stard Tr*mp is in office, though.
