He destroys everything he touches. Crispin Leyser (ATHOLON SPORTS) reports:
Critics say the relationship between Trump and Infantino highlights corruption and deep ties to authoritarian regimes, with UEFA accusing Infantino of abusing power for political gain.
Qatar hosted the last World Cup and even more controversially, Saudi Arabia won the bid to host the 2034 World Cup unopposed.
Minky Worden, the director of global initiatives at Human Rights Watch said that Infantino's trip was indicative of the lack of "meaningful accountability" at the highest level of soccer and called on him "to detail precisely what it achieved for football and human rights".
The controversy comes on top of fears that Trump's hardline immigration policies will deter fans from traveling to the US after recent detention horror stories from tourists.
That's Chump, destroying everything. Even the World Cup.
His hatred rots everything and his hatred is his motivation for deportations. They're cruel and they rip apart people's lives. They're often illegal and result in many mistakes. For example, Catherine Bouris (DAILY BEAST) reports:
In the latest in an ever-growing line of errors that have plagued the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, ICE officers have now admitted a software error may have resulted in a man being deported to Mexico, despite fear of persecution.
The revelation emerged as the result of a class-action lawsuit filed by a Guatemalan man who was deported to Mexico in March despite fears he would face persecution there on the basis of his sexuality.
Initially, the administration argued that the man himself had told them he wasn’t afraid to be sent to Mexico, but in a Friday court filing, they conceded that this argument was based on inaccurate information.
Retracting their previous assertions, ICE officials have now said they have no record of the man telling anyone that he was unafraid of being sent to Mexico. They attributed the error to software known as the “ENFORCE alien removal module,” which tracks deportations and allows ICE employees to add comments.
The deportations shouldn't be taking place at all but they definitely do need court supervision -- as does Chump. Martha McHardy (NEWSWEEK) notes:
O.C.G.'s case is part of a broader legal challenge to the administration's use of so-called "third-country" deportations, a policy that allows immigrants to be sent to countries other than their own if their native governments refuse to accept them or if they fear persecution at home. Murphy has blocked such deportations without prior notice, ruling that individuals must be given a meaningful opportunity to contest their transfer and raise claims of torture or persecution.
O.C.G., who fled Guatemala in April 2024, said he faced persecution at home and endured rape and captivity in Mexico for being gay. In February, an immigration judge granted him protection from deportation to Guatemala. But ICE deported him to Mexico soon after — without notice and allegedly in violation of due process.
Judge Murphy cited O.C.G.'s case in his ruling halting third-country deportations without notice. Although he expressed skepticism about the government's claim regarding O.C.G.'s supposed statement to ICE, the disputed nature of the evidence led him to hold off on ordering the man's return. It is unclear if the administration's new admission will alter that stance.
What he's doing is awful and inhumane. What he wants to do is even worse: Racially profiling newborn infants. At USA TODAY, Louie Villalobos explains how Chump would follow up if allowed to strip citizenship from some of those born in this country:
How do you think Trump and his Republican enablers expect to enforce the removal of birthright citizenship from the U.S. Constitution? I'm not talking about the legal procedure. I'm not naive enough to see how this administration works and expect Republicans to care about procedure or even, honestly, the Constitution.
I'm talking about actually making sure that babies born in America to undocumented immigrants aren't given citizenship.
You know what? I'll just let Justice Brett Kavanaugh ask the questions. This is a short transcript of Kavanaugh asking U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer how the Trump administration expects to know which babies are citizens if the executive order were to go into effect.
Kavanaugh: "What do hospitals do with a newborn? What do states do with a newborn?"
Sauer: "I don't think they do anything different. What the executive order says in section 2 is that federal officials do not accept documents that have the wrong designation of citizenship from people who are subject to the executive order."
Kavanaugh: "How are they going to know that?"
Sauer: "The states can continue to ... The federal officials will have to figure that out."
Kavanaugh: "How?"
Sauer: "So, uh, you could imagine a number of ways that the federal officials could..."
Kavanaugh: "Such as?"
Sauer: "Such as, they could require a showing of, you know, documentation showing legal presence in the country. For a temporary visitor, for example, they could see whether they're on a B-1 visa, which would exclude the kind of birthright citizenship in that context."
Kavanaugh: "For all the newborns? Is that how it's going to work?"
Sauer: "Again, we don't know because the agencies were never given the opportunity to formulate the guidance."
In case you don't see it or hear it, the "how" is very loud in that exchange. Since the Trump administration couldn't answer that question, Justice Kavanaugh, I will. Real quick, though: they won't do it for all the newborns.
No, not for all. What they'll do is racially profile newborn.
This is disgusting.
We're talking about people's lives and all Chump's managing to do is indict himself as horrid leader who will be remembered as a crook who destroyed everything he touched. Hannah Natanson, Dan Diamond, Rachel Siegel, Jacob Bogage and Ian Duncan (WASHINGTON POST) report:
At the National Institutes of Health, six directors — from institutes focused on infectious disease, child health, nursing research and the human genome — are leaving or being forced out.
At the Federal Aviation Administration, nearly a dozen top leaders, including the chief air traffic officer, are retiring early.
And at the Treasury Department, more than 200 experienced managers and highly skilled technical experts who help run the government’s financial systems chose to accept the Trump administration’s resignation offer earlier this year, according to a staffer and documents obtained by The Washington Post.
Across the federal government, a push for early retirement and voluntary separation is fueling a voluntary exodus of experienced, knowledgeable staffers unlike anything in living memory, according to interviews with 18 employees across 10 agencies and records reviewed by The Post. Other leaders with decades of service are being dismissed as the administration eliminates full offices or divisions at a time.
The first resignation offer, sent in January, saw 75,000 workers across government agree to quit and keep drawing pay through September, the administration has said. But a second round, rolling out agency by agency through the spring, is seeing a sustained, swelling uptick that will dwarf the first, potentially climbing into the hundreds of thousands, the employees and the records show.
At this rate, before it's all over, Pam Bondi will be covering the AG post and the DMV. Federal employees are needed. They've been needed throughout our history. And as services fail and citizens can't get the issues resolved and addressed, we're all going to see just how much Chump has destroyed.
If Chump thought his Friday attack on Bruce Springsteen was going to silence Bruce, Chump -- as he has been all his life -- was wrong. Ashley Iasimone (BILLBOARD) notes Bruce returned to the topic of Chump yet again:
In my home, they're persecuting people for their right to free speech and voicing their dissent. That's happening now. In America, the richest men are taking satisfaction in abandoning the world's poorest children to sickness and death. That's happening now. In my country, they're taking sadistic pleasure in the pain they inflict on loyal American workers. They are removing residents off American streets without due process of law and deploying them to foreign detention centers as prisoners. That's happening now. The majority of our elected representatives have utterly failed to protect the American people from the abuses of an unfit president and a rogue government. They have no concern or idea of what it means to be deeply American.
Bruce is right. Friday, Chump attacked him and attacked Taylor Swift. On the latter, I have no idea why. No one does. Taylor -- like most Americans with a heart and a mind -- doesn't like him and has made that clear in the past but as far as we all know, she hadn't made any public comment this week. But there was Chump attacking her yet again.
The American Federation of Musicians issued the following:
American Federation of Musicians International President Tino Gagliardi issued the following statement in response to Donald Trump’s attacks on members Bruce Springsteen, member of Local 47 (Los Angeles, CA) and Local 399 (Asbury Park, NJ), and Taylor Swift, member of Local 257 (Nashville, TN):
“The American Federation of Musicians of the United States and Canada will not remain silent as two of our members 00 Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift -- are singled out and personally attacked by the President of the United States. Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift are not just brilliant musicians, they are role models and inspirations to millions of people in the United States and across the world. Whether it’s Born in the USA or the Eras Tour, their music is timeless, impactful, and has deep cultural meaning. Musicians have the right to freedom of expression, and we stand in solidarity with all our members.”
People wonder about Chump's late night crazy online.
They shouldn't. He's up. And he's gotten up or stayed up that late at night for one reason. He's trying to masturbate so he's gone online and nothing he can find helps him -- a 78 year-old man -- get an erection. He just doesn't get hard ons anymore.
It's just life.
By the age of 70, over 70% of men can no longer get erections.
So there's Chump, all alone at two in the morning, angry and chafed because he's pulled and pulled and rubbed and rubbed but that soft penis just won't stiffen. So he goes to Truth Social and rages.
He's impotent.
And don't bring up Viagra. Drugs like that require blood circulation in order to work and Chump -- due to his morbid obesity -- does not hav enough blood flowing to his penis and that's before we address the heart medications noted on his recent health exam.
He's an angry old man who can't pull out an orgasm anymore because he can't get hard.
And that's very frustrating for him.
And he worries what his base will think of him when they grasp how he's aged out of sex. That can be very scary for elderly celebrities.
Chump can't satisfy a woman. He can't even satisfy his right hand.
Great Grandpa is now a sexual neuter.
He hopes that doesn't change the way he's seen but of course it will.
That is what's behind the rage and why he's so miserable.
