the internet's gonna be consumed by this for weeks, instead of anything else he has done or will do. be very afraid of what happens next while your attention is elsewhere.

This is what irritating me the most about it. AFAIK the actual story is thus: Ref made a bad call, lots of people were upset about this call, FIFA began to review call, Trump heard about it and then made a call to the FIFA president, already in progress review concluded reversing call, life tried to move on, Trump made it about himself…

In the meantime Iran is still a thing, we’re still bombing people in the Caribbean, Cuba is still blockaded, Ukraine is still at war, and the list goes on and on and on and that’s it before we even get to the Epstein files and other shit.

The red card was not rescinded, however the accompanying 1-match ban was suspended for 12 months. Wholly unprecedented in the history of the World Cup.

Our brains are not wired to handle complex systems but it is wired for stories. The FIFA trump fiasco is easier to keep track. The issue we need to improve is how to connect the topic to the endless failure of these asshole president of ours.

Anybody with a functioning brain sees him as the turd he is, the problem is all those dumb fucks glued to conservative media that paints him as the perfect god emperor who's never misstepped.
