That is 33/1 at Ladbrokes and Coral (although she said she won't represent the Republican party again, so she would need to go back on that statement).

I don't see that being a problem, the amount of reverse ferreting she's been doing lately

Well, I’m gonna have to now, or I will be judged by The Forum!

Still, 33/1 for a perfectly plausible scenario? I’ll take that.

I made £1,000 on my ‘emotional cover bet’ that South Korea would beat Italy in the 2002 World Cup. This one seems even more likely.

Trump's Thanksgiving speech was another rambling, incoherent mess earlier. I have a feeling that the 2 "pardoned" Turkeys were silently wishing for a quick death.

The female National Guard has now just died of her injuries.

Trump's gone on the offensive and has permanently paused all migration from 3rd world countries.

Hard to tell what’s real and what is AI-generated bullshit these days, but I’m gonna assume that FIFA has genuinely invented a new “Peace Prize” and its inaugural winner is Donald Trump.

Not sure that says anything about Trump’s contribution to global security. But it is a timely pre-World Cup reminder that FIFA is the same incorrigibly corrupt moral vacuum that it was in Blatter’s heyday.

It's pathetic, ego stroking of the highest order. I was planning to not watch it out of principle, but we only went and qualified, so can't do that now. lol.

As horrible as this sounds, I really hope we see examples of the US government being the cunts we've come expect during the World Cup, hopefully enough so the world can't look away, like seems to always be the case, but not enough to ruin the whole tournament. There is no well in hell things will go smoothly. I can almost guarantee that we see issues for some fans, especially those from South America and Africa, given the way the US has been behaving under Trump towards them. ICE seems to be filled with intellectually challenged racists, so I expect problems in that regard.

The US Government have already been meddling by restricting the number of Iranian officials who have been granted Visas to attend. I expect they will unilaterally ban many fans from attending when it comes to the tournament
