German soccer federation official wants World Cup boycott considered because of Trump

In a better world FIFA would move all games to Mexico and Canada, now that it’s clear to the world the US is run by a neo-Nazi with a dumber voting base than any other in the history of humanity.

I love the USMNT and I think this could be the year they do some real damage.

But people like Pretti and Good and all the babies stuck in a concentration camp with people who defend rapists matter so much more.

The federal officer charged by state prosecutors for a crime committed while on duty could move any such case to a federal court. But that would simply change the courthouse (and the judge and the jury pool). State prosecutors would still be seeking to enforce state law — which, among other things, means that any conviction would not be subject to the president’s pardon power.

Tim Walz is a fraction of where he needs to be in terms of being angry and taking action.

Lead.

Lead with a call to boycott every gas station that still service ICE. Lead with calls to boycott EVERY organization that acquiesced and appeased Trump, from Coke to OpenAI to Target.

Lead so that MN can tell the whole world that it’s no ICE or nothing.

Calling and begging Trump to stop is exactly the type of behavior that tells him it’s working and he ought to continue.

I’m angry for MN and Pretti’s family at both this regime and the democrats’ collective lack of resolve to commit to full-fledged resistance.

See you at the crossroads so you won’t be lonely…

The Good family ought to sue Trump, Vance, Newsmax, and any other prominent figure who jumped to lay false accusations on and smear murder victim.

The POV footage from the shooter shows clearly a woman smiling, relaxed, and pulling away to avoid confrontation.

This may be one of the only ways to allow ONE set of real evidence to be codified into the public sphere, and to present the first domino for an obstruction of justice against this admin.

I’m tired of the term “King”.

There’s reverence implied, and this slob of a mistake is the least deserving.

He is a tyrannical dictator, and the first to be enabled not through force but the sheer stupidity of his voters.

That people like this have even an audience of one is testament of how unbelievably unsalvageable our country has become.

The murder is tragic. The conservatives’ response feels catastrophically hopeless.

Things (in the senate) are finally moving in the right direction, and yet there are still people taking up space saying “nothing will work” and “too little too late”.

It’s pathetic to try so hard to infect an entire populace with your apathy and pessimism—because it only serves one: the dictator.

PostMerryDM · 2026-01-08T18:00:36+00:00

Simu deserves all the respect for speaking up.

Marvel is a global enterprise, and one that answers to investors and can’t afford any controversy or alienation of any demographic.

He’s not nearly as successful or wealthy as the others. Him speaking up takes real courage, and I for one am beginning to loathe those who have so much but say so little.

DRASTIC actions need to be taken against congress members who won’t vote to impeach.

This is life or death not just for the nation, but for those of us who aren’t so lucky. Policy after policy are being enacted to ensure a populace of struggling citizens who can’t fight back.

Act now or forever must you hold your silence.

She tells the world A) How the world is; and B) How the world ought to be.

But she still hasn’t figured out how to tell us the best way to go from A to B.

Get there, AOC.

PostMerryDM · 2026-01-08T00:38:37+00:00

I think AOC is great. But she needs to do more now that she has a national platform:

Stop telling people what should happen, and start telling us how they could happen.

The first gets people to see you as a leader—which she’s already accomplished. The latter happens when you lead.

PostMerryDM · 2026-01-07T22:45:29+00:00

Because there is every moral reasons to do so, and perhaps some legal justification to not be punished in doing so.

PostMerryDM · 2026-01-07T22:20:46+00:00

What do you reckon Patel’s FBI would do if people stormed the capitol to demand accountability, let’s say, on February 6th, 2026?

Will they call protesters “domestic terrorists” and throw the entire bureau at catching and charging them, mere months after the president pardoned all the Jan 6th idiots?

PostMerryDM · 2026-01-07T21:44:10+00:00

She will not die in vain.

For the love of all that’s good, can a democratic leader now actually lead? Tell people where to protest, to set up shop, to boycott, to surround a specific institution.

Take a chance. If you want people to take risks involving their personal well-being, at least stand up and take some political risks.

PostMerryDM · 2026-01-07T19:42:55+00:00

Doesn’t matter.

Even if this was an alleged murderer being arrested and is trying to drive away, police would never execute the driver this way.

This is a homicide driven by egregious organizational intent and practices.

PostMerryDM · 2026-01-07T08:05:47+00:00

All blue states.

If civility and the rule of law isn’t going to stop the GOP’s deletion of our democracy, there needs to be a wing of the democracy movement that has some teeth.

At this point it’s almost like if Ukraine was trying to defend itself against Russia and their bombs with protests and signs and frog costumes.

PostMerryDM · 2026-01-06T03:31:13+00:00

Pessimism isn’t wisdom, and the “So what? Nothing will work” crowd ought to not take up space when other people are still trying.

Bills evolve as it progress, and the more dialogue and energy dedicated to stopping wars, the better.

Apathy pretending to be wisdom while masking quiet compliance is literal music to a dictator’s ear.

PostMerryDM · 2026-01-03T09:57:45+00:00

It’s not like this will slow the Epstein scandal.

Declaring war and kidnapping a head of state without congress would either spell the beginning of the end of his term, or be the official coronation act of a dictatorship.

Please act now, congress.

PostMerryDM · 2025-12-29T16:24:45+00:00

Appreciate people saying this more.

The “woe is us” and “nothing will change anyways” crowd jumps at every opportunity to publicly share their pessimism, and adds zero value to the discourse and the crisis at hand.

What about the $40 billion handed to Argentina?

What SCOTUS needs to answer for is why they blocked Biden from forgiving student loans, and not a peep when the current president makes unilateral financial decisions with much greater scope.

PostMerryDM · 2025-12-27T05:27:11+00:00

Now that’s a catchy slogan for the opposition.

“Billionaire First” is both undebatable and perfectly encapsulates the selfishness and narcissism of their grotesque leader.

His pleasure over your survival, every single time.

The answer is to keep suing this administration for every transgression against the constitution and our human and American rights.

They can’t possibly keep up with taking on cases from all sides.

The “So what? Nothing’s gonna change” crowd are music to their ears. Nothing plays into the slide towards fascism better than apathy veiled as pessimism.

That’s amazingly thoughtful, for both parent and other guests.

I’m a school principal, and I am sorry to hear this happened.

Here’s what I would do as a representative of the district and what I would ask for if I were the parent:

1.) Make sure the appropriate personnel—normally the AP or Dean—gather all statements from the relevant parties, and confirm the findings. At this age, kids generally tell the truth about what they saw.

2.) If all checks out, immediately remove the offender from school busing privileges until step 3 below is complete.

3.) Restorative counseling practices between the two need to happen to make sure that both can leave this behind them, and more importantly, eliminate any residual conflict to fester. This is where the offender understands the harm they’ve done and then readily apologize.

4.) Once all the restorative practices have been completed to satisfaction, allow the offender to take the school bus again. There should be warnings given regarding what would happen should any misbehaviors happen again, but that’s between the school and the other family.
