JD Vance says it was βvery coolβ to have Disneyland shut down for his family vacation - but apologizes for βlonger linesβ
βSorry to all the people who were at Disneyland for the longer lines, but we had a very good time,β the vice president said with a smile, holding up his hands in mock defense.
What an arrogant SOB, I hope you get stuck at the top of the ferris-wheel next time and have to wait hours to be rescued..

The U.S. governmentβs gross national debt has climbed to $37 trillion as a result of increased borrowing from Donald Trumpβs administration, according to the latest report from the Treasury Department.
The debt stood at $34t in January 2024 and $36t in November and has surpassed the $37 t marker far earlier than forecasts made before the Covid-19 pandemic had anticipated.

Beware the parking lots! Expert dishes on best and worst volunteer gigs for 2026 World Cup
I love the way FIFA is promoting it's scam of conning people to work for free.
As to why FIFA β a multi-billion dollar organization set to profit handsomely from the World Cup β can't pay its volunteer army, Adcock says that would take away from the tournament's magic. π
She expects the supply of people wanting to volunteer will outstrip demand.
This is whitewashed slavery.

Calling all World Cup volunteers: Application portal now open for Vancouver positions
Between 2,500 and 3,000 volunteers are being sought for the seven games being hosted at B.C. Place.
FIFA is one of the most corrupt organisations in the world and the fact that they are calling for volunteers while they will be reaping billions is just really outrageous.
It's bad enough they endorse the use of slave labour to build their facilities.
This is why I don't support sports.

When #tRump lost the election after his first term, I thought he was done.
How did this even happen?
We let it happen, we fell asleep at the switch and now we are stuck with him.
Remember all the movies we have watched where the cops take down the big cartels and save the day...
#tRump and his hand picked monkeys are the cartels that have always provided the everything we consume so that they can enslave us.
The difference is, there are no cops...
