@weeddude @FreddyLA7 You're not wrong. I said the same thing early on when he started getting VIP treatment everywhere. That's not a true American road trip experience (as most would experience). But at the end of the day, that's not his fault, and I'm glad they had a good time.

@FreddyLA7 my hot take

So long, America🫡🇺🇸 49 days ago we landed in the USA to follow our country at the World Cup. We had no idea it would turn into the trip of a lifetime. Thank you to everyone who followed along, and to all the people we met who made this journey even more special. We honestly don’t have the words to express how grateful we are for everything you did for us. This trip exceeded every expectation we had. We came here with an open mind, wanting to experience as much of the country as possible. I still remember telling my friends on the flight to Atlanta that I hoped we’d get to meet a few locals on this trip. Now we’re flying home with friends all across the USA. Before we came, we heard so many stereotypes and warnings about America. People told us about safety concerns, that they might check our social media at the border, and all kinds of other things. None of it matched our experience. This was probably the most welcoming country we’ve ever visited. So if you have the chance to travel, do it. The world isn’t nearly as bad as the media often makes it seem. 99% of people are awesome! I heard this quote somewhere during the World Cup, and I think it sums up our experience perfectly: “If you want to hate the world, watch the news. If you want to love it, travel it.” Thank you, America ❤️🇺🇸

@AlexiLalas Agree with everything. But the cost of tickets was incredibly disappointing.

So after all the pre-tournament criticism, angst, and fearmongering (much done with anticipatory glee), the 2026 World Cup was a historic success. Incredible games, record crowds/viewers, and a cultural phenomenon. People were safe, entertained, and joyous. Visitors discovered, and Americans were reminded, just how wonderful our country is, all through the lens of soccer. I’m so happy for, and proud of, my country. Best World Cup ever. Thank you, America. 🇺🇸

@RealCandaceO @HaydeeAngell @AndrewKolvet “It’s not about you Candace” Says the man streaming as Charlie Kirk

@SamBK71 @DefiantLs She would probably just throw out a phrase like “systemic racism” and then say it’s not her responsibility to expend the emotional labor it would take to explain that racist question to a racist.

@DefiantLs Imagine we had a media that would ask her to simply explain, How was it racist ? The word means nothing, anyone who says it should be laughed at. They’re clowns

Jasmine Crockett on losing to James Talarico: “It was racist. It was a racist race.”

@SpencerKlavan Existing in Oklahoma during the summer is very confusing. It's 100 degrees & 85% humidity outside, but every building is a blustery 63 degrees, with a 15 mph gust of arctic air directly from the vents inside.

Having air conditioning is better than not having it. On this key principle of American exceptionalism, all decent patriots can agree. But would it be intolerably treasonous of me to wonder if we need quite so much air conditioning? Does national pride require that the interior of every airplane and retail center evoke the howling wastes of an arctic tundra? Would George Washington curse us from his grave if we kept our taxi cabs at, say, a cool 75 rather than driving them by infinitely decreasing intervals toward their theoretical limit at zero Kelvin? I ask out of love.

@InternetH0F Has he tried blunt force? Fucking smash them.....

YouTuber Rusty Cage has spent 16 days attempting to kill a Lone Star Tick He tried drowning it for two weeks, freezing it for 24 hours, and suffocating it — no results so far

A great way to fix this is to throw anyone doing this in prison. Fire Americans to replace with thousands of visa workers? Straight to jail, and assets seized. This story has been told countless times. Fire American staff and hire foreigners. Over and over.

@RealCandaceO What the fuck is that uncomfortable pause and swallow when he says "lunch with...somebody"????

🚨BREAKING NEWS! 🚨 Ben Shapiro just confessed on his show that while Charlie was being transported to the hospital and bleeding out to death, his security was on the phone with Charlie’s security receiving updates. I knew it. I knew it. I knew it Someone explain to me why during the minutes while Charlie was DYING in the back seat of the car— Charlie’s security team was providing updates to Ben Shapiro’s team rather than focusing entirely on saving Charlie’s life and finding the killer? I will remind you all that Brian Harpole— one of the security members who was IN that car en route to the hospital, is currently suing me and is using BEN SHAPIRO’S lawyer who has sued me relentlessly on Ben’s behalf for the last 3 years. @benshapiro hated Charlie. EVERYONE knew that. So why the hell was this demon receiving updates in the mere minutes after Charlie was hit, en route to the hospital?!! WHO ON CHARLIE’S SECURITY TEAM BETRAYED HIM IN THIS WAY?! EVERYTHING Ben did following the assassination made my alarm bells go off. I have told you guys that there is something about the Daily Wire and their relentlessly stalking of me following my firing that has made me feel altogether unsafe. I have felt their obsessive focus on destroying me is deranged and increasingly dangerous. What did Andrew Kolvet mean when he told me “it was supposed to be you?” Why did Turning Point betray Charlie so quickly by allowing Ben to open at Amfest after declaring immediately that he would “pick up Charlie’s blood mic”? Why didn’t Ben mention this before today that he was receiving status updates while Charlie was bleeding out? I clocked that Ben was TOO invested in this. His energy on stage DEMANDING that Megyn Kelly call me evil and his overprotective stance on Erika always registered to me as deeply nervous. Ben Shapiro is Satanic. Everything in my soul tells me he worships Satan, literally. Look at his demeanor in this clip. We need to find out exactly who on Charlie’s team betrayed him by providing immediate updates to this parasite. Share far and wide.

@AlexiLalas My husband made all-state in high school from a small town. His coaches didn’t do much in bringing in scouts to support players. He dreamed of going to OSU but considered smaller schools far away to walk-on, but it was unaffordable. OSU doesn't have men's soccer, so he quit.

@AlexiLalas Alexi, my husband &I were discussing this & wonder if the accessibility of men's college programs might be a bigger issue? Many of them are ivy league, private, or small schools on east or west coast. Do you think a lot of men fall off when they have to choose career over sport?

Youth soccer (youth sports) is a competitive market with businesses selling a product that obviously customers are willing to pay for. I’d love if soccer was free to all. But who is going to pay for all this free soccer?

@SeppBlatter LOLZ. Rich coming from you. But also, isn't it entirely possible that the decision was made by FIFA because of rules and evidence during an appeal? And not because of Trump?

Red cards are not overturned by political phone calls. They are overturned by rules, evidence and independent bodies. If a U.S. President intervenes with the FIFA President — and a player is suddenly cleared before a World Cup knockout match — the question is unavoidable: Quo vadis, FIFA? Football must never become a playground for political power. #FIFA #WorldCup #GianniInfantino #DonaldTrump

@HITCSevens They'll feel cheated by simply having to play our full team? That's pathetic, and they don't deserve to win if they can't beat us at our best.

This makes a mockery of the whole tournament. If the USMNT win, Belgium will have every right to feel cheated, meanwhile the USA’s victory - by their best ever generation of players - will forever be tainted by accusations of favouritism and corruption. It’s bad for everyone.

At this point, I’m ready to get rid of VAR and go back to refs making mistakes the old-fashioned way. VAR was supposed to eliminate controversy… somehow it just gives us slow-motion controversy.

@TrueFactsStated OH NO. Whatever will the USMNT do without your support? 🙄

I’m a U.S. citizen who will be rooting for Belgium tonight. Probably just me.

Belgian’s when you tell them they have to play against the 135th FIFA ranked striker

@RealCandaceO @DefNotDarth @disclosetv I don't believe for a second that Trump actually influenced the appeal. I think he wants to THINK he did. But it was a controversial call that the team was going to pursue appeal avenues regardless of what our fucking president wants.

@DefNotDarth @disclosetv A corrupt sitting President calling to make it happen and then bragging about the feat.

NEW - Howard Lutnick, the U.S. Commerce Secretary, worked back channels with FIFA in an effort to get U.S. striker Folarin Balogun's red-card ban overturned — Politico

@wwalsh The officials in this game missed everything.

Balogun was in on goal. He beat the defender and was about to score. No red card. No penalty. No yellow card. No foul. No review. The bizarre thing is that Fox Sports showed a replay that began just AFTER the defender let go of the arm. So weird. How could the officials miss this? And how could the TV crew miss it as well? @USMNT

@rollgiantsroll @OldTownJG The biggest complaint is consistency. This ref didn't pull a single card the entire game on CLEARLY worthy penalties. Didn't pull one on this either. & then on a slow-mo, frame-by-frame evaluation, calls "Red" on an incidental impact that was initiated by the fouled party? Lame.

@rollgiantsroll @OldTownJG So let's get into the fact that a lot of us don't like the way VAR has evolved & how it's used to scrutinize and over-analyze plays like this & changes the natural flow of the game compared to what we all witnessed in real time.

Non soccer fans not understanding what is and isn't a card is always the most frustrating part of every World Cup cycle. It sucks for Balogun since it was clearly accidental, but it was definitely a red card.

Caleb Hammer schooled a guest on how taxes work in America, explaining that the U.S. has one of the most progressive tax systems. Caleb: Question, what percent does the top 1% pay in federal income taxes? Guest: None. (Brief silence) Caleb: Think it's about 40 to 50 percent? No, I think it's about... I believe it's about 35%. Then the top 10% pays 50 to 60%. Top 50% pays 99%. The bottom 50% of earners only pay 1%. Did you know we actually have the most progressive income tax system in the entire Western world? Did you know that? Guest: I did not. Caleb: Oh, we do. Of course you didn't know that. Why know anything before having an opinion? What the fuck is wrong with you?
