2026 Political Thread

Trump finally did something corrupt against another corrupt organization and I can cheer it. Getting Balogun's red card suspension reversed to probation is excellent.

We have a trillion dollar military budget for a reason. Letting some pipsqueak referee suspend one of our best players was maddening. The minute that red card was shown, Seal Team 6 and Delta should have been deployed. Infantino should've been getting waterboarded daily in Gitmo until he overturned the decision. Trump came through.

The funniest thing is, I read through his Truth Social feed this morning assuming he'd be majorly patting himself on the back, and he wasn't. One post thanking FIFA for making the right call. That tells me he didn't really try to force anything.

Now that people are heaping praise on him for his involvement, he's certainly not denying he had anything to do with it outside of a phone call and will probably begin taking credit.

When the FIFA Peace Prize winner speaks, FIFA listens, I guess.
