FIFA’s history with corrupted boss men are legendary but egghead Infantino takes the cake.

Can Donal Trump die of old age already? We're all just waiting for a cheeseburger to do him in. Seems like ghouls live to be a hundred. There's some law of physics going on here, violating the space time continuum by wishing ill of them.
Every day I open the news hoping...

When I get more time I might edit this for a world cup theme...but it still mildly fits.
My god I love Mike Luckovich. He might be the best political cartoonist out there. Been enjoying his work since the 1990s.
Lie. Cheat. Lose. Repeat.
This is 100% on-brand.
We had a good thing, you stupid son of a bitch
Anyone who knew someone like Trump would ruin a well-oiled grift machine.
This sorry excuse for a human being has less planning skills than a pool of piranhas.
He could have called Infantino, have the suspension reversed and brushed away tbe journalist's question with a joke, but he's even worse than Berlusconi.
“We cheated and still lost” is not the flex you think it is
2020 repeat
Isn't it almost every trump flex , though?
...and the whole football world cheered as Belgium mobbed the floor with them.
*mopped
*mogged
*mossed
I wonder if he threatened them with ICE
He threatened to denounce the FIFA Peace Prize.
Well the ownership class of the US is a bunch of Karens. We know this.
And we know FIFA is corrupt AF, even more than the NFL.
What's vulgar about it now is that it's done without a lick of subtlety or tact. The corruption is out in the open. They're doing the Qu'ils mangent de la brioche more plainly and more often than was ever done in France.
( Technical history fact: Marie Antoinette never said it, but the rumor was viciously spread and sped her way to the guillotine. The historic queen was classically trained and actually had tact. The French aristocracy, however, did not.)
But did they tell him that balogun not only is black, but got the citizenship by ius soli, two things he hate and wants to remove?
But he's not poor, which makes all the difference in the world. In America we especially hate poor immigrants
Wtf would Biden have to do with this
It's the central foundation of his inferiority complex.
It's just part of his cognitive bias manipulation.
He has to keep up chipping away logical reasoning and at some point people just accept it as truth.
It works, unfortunately. For example, Trump supporters believe that cyclist actually damaged the Reflecting Pool because he was arrested. Being arrested must mean he did it, right?
Trump forgot that he's president and still thinks he's campaigning against Biden
Robert Baratheon: What about Aerys Targaryen? What did the Mad King say when you stabbed him in the back? I never asked. Did he call you a traitor? Did he plead for a reprieve?
Jaime Lannister: He said the same thing he'd been saying for hours... Burn them all!
I somehow forgot what a fucking hero Jaime was for that, and how it basically ruined the rest of his life.
Conspiracy time.
Because of the 250 years of independence, the final will be rigged to be USA/England and the USA will win controversially.
Then trump will keep the trophy
He already kept the FIFA trophy won by someone else and infantino had to give a copy to the winners https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-fifa-soccer-club-world-cup-trophy_n_68755c06e4b0b1c6f12569ae
Debunked. Thank fucking Christ.
4-1 jajajaja
Lol I bet the commissioner didn’t expect he’d brag about it to the public.
Should have known better then,
He has a record of mouthing off
