Soooooo...the 2028 Summer Olympics in L.A.

TACO will be President then (ugh). You can't tell me SOMEONE in the White House isn't thinking about how to commandeer this thing. Shades of Hitler's Berlin Olympics in 1936? The world's biggest stage and TV audience. Ripe for one big propaganda fest. Although, one would think the IOC would not let Trump get anywhere near this. But...who knows.

to come here?

Seriously, will people who aren't white even be allowed to enter the country by that time?

2. Trump will need Leni Riefenstal to film the glorious documentary. Maybe Stephen Miller can dig her up.nt

6. Miller is so high on himself as an ubermench that he figures he'll do it himself...

That guy is the scariest dead-eyed bastard I have ever seen in the flesh. He reminds me of photos of Mengele and Hess and Himler rolled into one bald, angry and bitter cucked white man.

12. Terry Moran speaking truth

Terry Moran, a senior national correspondent for ABC News, has been suspended over a controversial social media post about Stephen Miller, President Donald Trump's deputy chief of staff for policy. Moran wrote of Miller in his since-deleted post on June 8, "He's a world-class hater. You can see this just by looking at him because you can see that his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate."

Putin's Russia and China have both hosted within the last twenty years, so I don't think the IOC is that worried. I'm sure Trump would like it to be some sort of propaganda for him, but as far as i know he doesn't really have an "in" with the '28 committee yet (I know a couple of people who know people who are involved, so this is 3rd hand - lol).

with Los Angeles Organizing Committee, the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee and the National Governing Bodies. It all starts with withholding $$$ unless they do something he wants.

Waiting for it.

11. Thankfully, it's run by the city of LA, not the Feds.

We're pretty good about making all about us.

But I do worry about Trump getting his fingers in our '26 mayoral election to try and tip the scales. If someone like Rick Caruso gets in, it won't be good for the city.
