At this rate, they're gonna be deporting the prime minister of Canada, the pope, and king of England, when they visit in 2026

Real shame nobody smothered him to death in his bassinet
JD Vance attempted a charm offensive on Tuesday, and failed with the charm while succeeding in being offensive
Could have phrased it a bit better. "...but instead of charming, was just offensive", maybe?
Nah, I prefer the implication of accidentally succeeding in achieving a negative result.
Fits the entire political career of the couch fucker like an inside out latex glove.
I would not take such words as "jokes" anymore. I take them as an open and dire warning not to travel to the US until the government has been taken care of.

Dear Foreigner,
If you are coming to the US for the world cup you are fucking stupid. You're going to spend thousands of your preferred currency to get harassed by Customs and if you fuck up and get arrested for whatever little thing the police that stops you has up his ass that day you run the risk of ending up in South America or Africa but not the part you are from, in a jail somewhere getting fucked.
Unless you are white, if you're white come on over, have a beer. Remember, though, even if you are Spanish, Italian, Greek, or any of those other darkies you gay commie Europeans call white, you are going to get lumped in with the Mexicans, especially if you speak Mexican or eye tie.
Fuck you, countries full,
XOXO JD 😘 🛋😘 Vance XOXO
Nah we'll arrest random whites too.

A joke couched in truth
I’m just honestly so confused. Do they want to expel all non-white people and non-Christian white people, refuse entry to everyone including tourists, and basically just close themselves off from the rest of the world like a population of white hikikomori?
They don't have any sort of plan or end game. They just enjoy being assholes.
Their end game is exterminating all brown people. They just want to make them suffer first.

At this rate, they'll deport the players. Is it too late to move the 2026 world cup?
I can 100% guarantee at least one athlete is going to be refused entry.

Lol 100% americans still don't do Riots... So 💯% americans still accept this and they act like "hello fuck you all on earth get die" FCK you Amerika
Edit: To the downvoters... Greetings from Germany... After generations you will still be labeled a Nazi ( Well americans will labeled not the same). Have fun in your future... Those who know the history and do nothing but think they are smarter than the MAGA supporters. Too bad your children will suffer the most for your mistakes.
Made in "any US state" already means = don't buy, Trash quality.
I believe rioting right now would just give Trump more ammunition to push more extreme policies even faster and right now I think the left is trying to delay until midterms or until Trump does something so egregious that Congress can't deny impeachment any longer. I would really love to say that going out and rioting would fix the problem, but I think at the stage we're at right now it would only be met with a more militarized force against us and a lack of any center/center-right leaning people having any sympathy to the cause and we really need some of the more purple states to step up
But yes, please do boycott US made products as it seems the only way anyone is listening is by negatively effecting profits of corporations. But do know that there are states that are successfully fighting back against Trump and it seems that there is momentum in resistance building.

Oh hahahaha, now watch as you have the lowest WC attendance in history and be the first modern WC to lose money.
Ticket sales are already going so badly that they're CHEAPER on the secondhand market! Scalpers are taking a loss to get rid of them, which is pretty much unheard of for an event like a world cup.
People are even more wary of traveling to Trump's US than to the Emir's Qatar or Putin's Russia.

Cities hosting the WC almost never recoup their investments. Sure, it's a windfall for a select few, but it is a bad investment for everyone else.
I don't know why ~~you're~~ you were being downvoted, you're absolutely right.
As documented by an excellent Last Week Tonight segment and also another, FIFA and a select few rich people and corporations profiting off of lucrative contracts snatch up all the income and leave everyone else with all the expenses.

I doubt FIFA is on the Republican take, and the event brings a bunch of brown people and Euros to town. Why would they care if it succeeds? If anything making it fail is part of their deliberate campaign of chaos.
I doubt FIFA is on the Republican take
Clearly you know very little about FIFA in general and Trump's buddy Infantino in particular..
Neither have ever seen a despotic government they didn't want bribes from.
I doubt FIFA is on the Republican take
Well that would be the first corrupt administration they didn't jump in bed with at the first opportunity then.
Yeah, holding the world cup in dictatorships is kind of their thing.
At what point is it a fetish for them?
It's just plain corruption, but I guess they get off on having lots of money?
