Ohh, I certainly wouldn't put anything past them.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Even the fucking Nazis made sure Germany was as hospitable as possible to all visitors in the 1936 Olympics. The blatant Nazi propaganda, however, backfired and many people left with a sour taste in their mouths after they left.
It's almost cute that you thought he was joking.
I wonder if the IOC will be using the World Cup as a test bed. This certainly will not go well - there will be horrific stories coming from the few athletes and tourists that DO come for some reason, and attendance will be otherwise annihilated. What are the chances that the 2028 Summer Olympics in LA get moved? They'll have 2 full years to ramp up in another city elsewhere in the world, probably one that has had the Olympics in the recent past and has the infrastructure built out already.
It won't be moved, like the Olympics wasn't moved from Berlin in 1936.

Most of the matches are in red or previous swing states, Washington is the only actually blue state on the roster, this would just be more hurting their own
Ah yes, California, the reddest state of all
That's never stopped them before.
Gotta feed those leopards

At this rate, they're gonna be deporting the prime minister of Canada, the pope, and king of England, when they visit in 2026
Or worse, meet face to face with JD Vance and die of cringe the next day.
I'm surprised Trump's even fine with hosting the world cup in the first place seeing as every professional footballer is a migrant by definition.

Ha ha, yes, such a joker that JD. Totally not a cowardly sleazebeg acting as a "good person" and testing the waters on controversial stuff like a certain orange president likes to do... He's learning well.
I really hope this is the World Cup with the least international attendance in recent memory (should really be 0, but that's sadly too unrealistic) . Don't spend your money in the US, if FIFA wants your fan money they should relocate the world cup to somewhere without threats.
And today in our "How to kill tourism in your country for one of the biggest worldwide events" class, we examine JD Vance and his idiotic comments about the world cup.
