Good Lord. That means we'll get "The American Games".

Foot and base balls, mostly. Maybe basketball, but, you know..

No swimmin' or dancin' or vollyballin' guys,

but they'll make up some sweaty gladiator sports to stretch it to three days.

Lots of spangles.

I swear Trump's goons are not ready for the shitstorm they will unleash upon themselves if they fuck up Hololive night on July 5th.

"We would be completely unsurprised if either the Olympics or the World Cup get pulled from the US. We wouldn’t even deny that we deserve it."

And I would say this should absolutely happen. The athletes (and their fans) will not be safe here.

I may have missed it, but what's with the masks on these thugs. Another thing, I saw vid of a maybe Ice-er stopping a car and demanding a passenger OC (of color) ID, the passenger said

what will happen if I don't and the suspected but not ID'd ICE thug said "Then we'll have to try another way!"

He reached through the open window, unlocked the door, and dragged this guy out! The driver was filming it all with his phone. The victim was thrown up against a wall, all the while yelling "I WAS BORN HERE!" At this point he chose to show ID. The vid ended there, I don't know what happened next. But the ICE dude obviously couldn't stand a person of color didn't obey him instantly. Where do they get these thugs, some place that rents out security guards?

It's not just the participants in the events that should be worried. What about the fans? Any brown/black fans, doing crimes - like waving a "foreign" flag - are all going to be scooped up by ICE. It's going to be the perfect opportunity for them to hit their quotas.

Hit and *surpass* their quotas! Then ICE Barbie can go on the teevee to brag about what a bumper crop of "illegals" they'd harvested.

I don't know the make up of LA's city government, but it would be interesting if they get to the point that they tell the Trump administration that if they don't knock this shit off they are going to tell the Olympics that they are officially declining to hold the games in their city in 2028 and Trump isn't going to get to use it as the platform he so dearly wants it to be.

And then World Cup might just decide that, you know what?, the US doesn't get to host any of THEIR games, either. What with it being so hostile to basically everyone, but especially foreign visitors.

FIFA could release a statement they were pulling the World Cup because Chump's too corrupt for them.

And if President Golfcart McChucklefuck (thank you, Jeff Tiedrich) is too corrupt for FIFA, of all things, that's, uh...eyebrow-raising.

"Clay Travis calls for an ICE raid at Dodger Stadium:

"Could you imagine if they did an ICE raid in the parking lot of the LA Dodgers stadium... That would be kind of amazing.""

Hands OVER the table, Clay!

I love sports and international competition, but I think other countries' athletes should absolutely not come to the US for the World Cup or Olympics.

Athletes? What about the fans? I couldn’t imagine any of them would feel safe.

I am hoping hard that we lose the World Cup and Olympics.

So this is horrible

Donald is apparently paying back what the private prisons gave him for his campaign by snatching Black and brown people off the streets to fill THOSE prisons (you remember how POTUS Joe wrote an executive order banning them but Donald revoked it?) and using your tax dollars to do it ...

... so that those private prisons can profit and make their money back that they donated to his campaign

When you pledge to get rid of 12 million undocumented rapists and murderers, and you realize that's hard, because there aren't nearly that many of them, and you don't want to admit there are proportionally more white, native ones anyway, you just make the numbers by going to where the brown people are and picking them all up.

Tl;dr - we're governed by a lazy, incompetent bunch of chickenshit Chads.

Also harder when you have reports of Miller yelling at people to NOT go looking for the "rapists and murderers" and just go where they can kidnap people easily. Especially the ones who haven't done anything wrong because they aren't in hiding like the handful that are actually committing crimes.
