Do you think the people participating in the charade (WH Press Sec, Cabinet, Mike Johnson, etc) think anyone believes their words/actions? And do they think anyone listening or watching believes what they are seeing or hearing? It’s a true looking glass moment in history. God help us all.

Disgusting—El Cheeto, the gaul to award him, and FIFA as an organization for giving it! The football community weighed in and largely agreed that the whole thing was an embarrassment. And shame on any media who reported it without calling it what it was — disgraceful.

What a f-ing embarrassment. And so is the kiss-ass who gave it to him.

He is beyond a disgusting POS. How much did FIFA get "contributed" from which organizations to make up this faux award.

Hahaha omg! That's so pathetic but also so sad. And, you can tell he has no idea where he is or what is actually happening. But hey, some people are willing to follow this guy into the depths of "hell" so there's that.

What's wild is how FIFA keeps positioning itself as above politics while doing exactly this. They banned players for taking a knee or wearing armbands, but giving a ceremonial award to a sitting president right before he takes office again? That's not politics, I guess. The whole thing just proves these sports orgs pick and choose when to be "apolitical" based on what benefits them most.

Yes, this is definitely newsworthy, but we need more people to spread what happened this week with the National Security Strategy. If anyone still doubted the Putin hand holding happening with this administration? The NSS should, hopefully, get the exact message across. Y'all, I mean, holy friggin shit 😵‍💫
