    Funnily enough this was released as Trump got the FBI to raid John Bolton's home and office. Hoping to distract from Epstein. It's how a convicted child trafficker saw Trump do nothing wrong and if what she says is true why the delay on releasing this?

    If only if only but sadly the USA is currently doing all the pushing and all the shoving.

    It up to people - supporters and ticket buyers to consider their participation.

    Nota chance anyone "not white" will risk going.

    How many Mexican or Brazilian fans the example are going to want to go to the US??

    Canada and Mexico based games will be jammed and the Stadia in the US will be half empty..

    The CEO of Intel was "highly conflicted" a few weeks ago but now is "highly respected." All it took was him giving away 10% of the company. Extortion in plain sight.

    If I was Bolton and the others that have ‘walked on Trump’s toes’, I would be quite
    worried about the future - most especially in relation to court cases.

    Take the current situation re Bolton ans the confiscation of all those documents. What is stopping Pam Bondi or the heads on some of the other administrations ‘INSERTING’ into any one of those boxes incriminating documents and ‘away we go’

    We need only remember the request that Trump made to a governer in a state during the presidential election that ‘was stolen’ to GO OFF AND FIND 12,001 votes so as to tip the scales. The governer refused to comply.
    I am not aware of any of Trumps department administrators with that ‘ability’

    If footballers had any balls or morals they'd be bailing on this already. Pull out of the squad along with like like mind conscientious objectors and build pressure in the football unions to pull it from the states. Double win, embarrassing Trump and FIFA in a single swoop.

    They'll have to change their national anthem after this, "Land of the free, home of the brave" my ass. Land of the brainwashed, home of the kowtowed, more like.

    Zero push back as it becomes clear the authoritarianism rises. Jack White the most vocal critic. A push back in memes and social media shorts. Its fcukin pathetic but unsurprising. The only wars the Americans were ever successful in were the ones where they had vastly superior weaponry and they lost most of them. Theres no fighting spirit in the US. Just a whole lot of bravado and noise dressed up as bravery. They dont even believe in the US as a country, they only care for themselves. Theres nothing to halt this slide.

    Ah I’m sure there’s “precedent” which of course we know makes it ok.

    That Maxwell interview is one of the most staged things I have ever read. It couldn't possibly be closer to exactly what Trump needs it to say.

    Of course it still can't dodge the fact that Trump and his staff have both said there is and isn't a client list.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 581 ✭✭✭sliabh 1956


    Just saw that odious FIFA guy fawning over Trump with the the trophy It must be a prerequisite that when meeting Trump his ego has to be massaged to make him look good. What a vain and vulnerable and despicable creature he is.

    I'll just leave this here.

    “At the direction of the Secretary of Defense, JTF-DC members supporting the mission to lower the crime rate in our Nation’s capital will soon be on mission with their service-issued weapons, consistent with their mission and training,” a Pentagon official told the Hill. The Pentagon further stated that the Interim Commanding General of the D.C. National Guard "retains the authority to make any necessary force posture adjustments.

    Yesterday, Trump went on a vocal ramble about his use of the Guard in Washington and several other cities, saying, as before, that he was thinking about extending their use to NYC and another city. He took his thoughts on the use of the military a stage further by saying he might employ the regular army for the same purpose - "crime fighting" - in Chicago and NYC.

    So just like that the list doesn't exist because Maxwell says so? If the Trump faithful accept that BS then they have to engage in Olympic level mental gymnastics as it exonerates all those they despise as well who they were convinced were on that list when it existed as a useful political tool (e. g. Dems, Hollywood etc.). Are they that gullible or can they see through it all as Maxwell doing her best to get whatever reprieve she can get?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,548 ✭✭✭✭everlast75


    Just an important reminder that Maxwell was found to have lied under oath......

    Elect a clown... Expect a circus

    How the prosecutors described her:

    "The defendant's willingness to brazenly lie under oath about her conduct … strongly suggests her true motive has been and remains to avoid being held accountable for her crimes."

    A vile evil woman who should never be heard from again.

    Yes, there has been a change in arming order. I was honestly surprised when they were initially sent without weapons. If they are going to be actually trying to assist police in law enforcement, instead of standing around low-crime tourist spots, they should be armed. (Though by European precedent, places like Notre Dame, the Army are armed even at the low-crime tourist spots, though granted for counter terror reasons, less than common crime).

    If the decision is made to arm someone, what is more important to the Army isn’t the perception of rifle vs pistol, it’s what the trooper is qualified with. An infantryman will be likely qualified with a rifle, not a pistol. There may not even be enough pistols in the local armory to give everyone a pistol.

    You can imagine the legal disaster which would follow if a soldier shot someone with a weapon with which they were not officially qualified.

    And yet again,,,,,,,, another TWO WEEKS

    CNN White House reporter Alayna Treene asked, “Are you saying that’s a real possibility, then, that you do nothing if Putin doesn’t come to the table for a ceasefire?

    “I’ll see whose fault it is,” the president responded. “If there are reasons why, I’ll understand that. I know exactly what I’m doing. We’re gonna see whether or not they have a meeting. That’ll be interesting to see. And if they don’t, why didn’t they have a meeting? Because I told them to have a meeting. But I’ll know in two weeks what I’m gonna do.”

    Really sounds like "The Apprentice" show, you are fired, what you question me, you are fired again.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,684 ✭✭✭✭breezy1985


    She is gonna get off with it. Trump has already tried to paint her as a victim.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,136 ✭✭✭Stanley 1


    Infantino would wake up in the morning with a horse's severed head beside him or maybe some orange fatigues like Epstein did.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 15,535 ✭✭✭✭Igotadose


    Yet another lie. "I know what I'm doing." Next time will be the first time for that!

    why was the most recent stuff released and as a matter of fact the interview with the lady has in theory nothing to do with the Epstein files. The files they are all referring to are the ones that existed before the good lady was interviewed

    I assume you don't follow football but the last 2 World Cups were Qatar and Russia and Infantino has spent the last while with large sections of his body up Trumps hole.

    The man would make you miss Blatter.
