haha so funny, much laughing as our tourism industry tanks
these absolute abject cretins, fucking beyond a disgrace they are ‘leading’ this country
Haha human rights violations are hilarious
This guy can't even pretend to be a normal person.
Oh hahahaha, now watch as you have the lowest WC attendance in history and be the first modern WC to lose money.
losing money on a sure thing would be totally on brand for donvict & co.
Ticket sales are already going so badly that they're CHEAPER on the secondhand market! Scalpers are taking a loss to get rid of them, which is pretty much unheard of for an event like a world cup.
People are even more wary of traveling to Trump's US than to the Emir's Qatar or Putin's Russia.
Cities hosting the WC almost never recoup their investments. Sure, it's a windfall for a select few, but it is a bad investment for everyone else.
I don't know why ~~you're~~ you were being downvoted, you're absolutely right.
As documented by an excellent Last Week Tonight segment and also another, FIFA and a select few rich people and corporations profiting off of lucrative contracts snatch up all the income and leave everyone else with all the expenses.
Reminder that every time they say something that causes offense they say it was just a joke.
Narrator: it was not a joke
Treating all foreigners as criminals is something he's so excited about, he just can't keep quiet about it. There probably are some people dumb enough to go to that country just to watch some sports, but they aren't going to have a good time.
Dear Foreigner,
If you are coming to the US for the world cup you are fucking stupid. You're going to spend thousands of your preferred currency to get harassed by Customs and if you fuck up and get arrested for whatever little thing the police that stops you has up his ass that day you run the risk of ending up in South America or Africa but not the part you are from, in a jail somewhere getting fucked.
Unless you are white, if you're white come on over, have a beer. Remember, though, even if you are Spanish, Italian, Greek, or any of those other darkies you gay commie Europeans call white, you are going to get lumped in with the Mexicans, especially if you speak Mexican or eye tie.
Fuck you, countries full,
XOXO JD 😘 🛋😘 Vance XOXO
Nah we'll arrest random whites too.
Jasmine Mooney was locked up for 11 days, no method of reaching out to the outside world.

And any tattoo can and will be interpreted as a gang affiliation. No matter the mental gymnastics required.
Only sailors and gang members get visible tattoos and I don't see no boat.
Name is Jasmine? You ain't fooling me, I've seen Aladdin.
As long as MAGA policies and the walking farts responsible for them are in place/in charge, I will never again set foot on US soil. There are plenty of other places to visit.
Good. I hope everyone that can, absolutely avoids this country like the plague. If the oligarchs wanna fuck around with stealing elections, they can find out when their companies go bankrupt, and they lose their shirts.
Anyone who is mad enough to visit the US for attending a sports game in this day and age almost deserves that treatment. Like, are you ok?
With games taking place in both Mexico and Canada, does that make the entire US into flyover state?
Fortunately, if this shit keeps up, there are two other countries where to celebrate matches. Mexico is shaping up nicely for the World Cup, and tourism comes natural to our culture.
That its being co hosted will backfire on the US. If it was just the US and nobody turned up they can and will blame football for that rather than their own idiocy, but because Mexico and Canada are also hosting matches if they get great attendance then its clearly an issue with the US.
If you want to go, go to the matches in Mexico or Canada, spend your money there.
I would not take such words as "jokes" anymore. I take them as an open and dire warning not to travel to the US until the government has been taken care of.
For real. I'm not risking losing thousands of Euros on flights because some CBP asshole on a power trip denies me entry. Not to mention the very real possibility to be held at some kind of detention facility
Just heard it on the radio that student exchanges with the US are failing; First, because parents here are afraid what happens to non-citizens in the US, and second, because US parents are wary to have foreigners in their home (no because they are afraid of foreigners or kids, but of what the US "ICE" GeStaPo might do).
How funny will it be when all of the seats are empty? Americans don't care about soccer, this event will be funded by tourism and now those folks will be opting out. If I were planning this event I'd be livid. Vance, shut your stupid fucking mouth and never speak again as long as you live.
I know FIFA is corrupt but does anyone not see how dangerous traveling to the United States currently is?
If you go to this you’re a fucking idiot. Not worth being sent to an El Salvador concentration camp just to watch a soccer match. Just watch it on tv.
If you support fifa in any way, you’re an idiot. I don’t have much hope that anybody will change their behavior.
People went to Qatar to sit in slave-built stadiums. Don't expect any morals from FIFA fans.
JD Vance attempted a charm offensive on Tuesday, and failed with the charm while succeeding in being offensive
Can the participating countries boycott the matches in that is held within the US?
They never do. Hell, they all went to Qatar. Fifa is a system genuinely built on corruption. And although corruption is money-driven most of the time, it‘s most notably a corruption of minds and souls.
Because what we really want from our government officials is more laughing at the pain and suffering of others.
When you find "funny" how mean you can be to someone, you're just making sure everyone knows you're a fucking loser
You gonna deport the athletes too?
Guaranteed this happens to at least one athlete. That many non-whites coming in for a work trip? Someone is going to get arrested.
I bet they'll do this to the ones who have a chance of beating American athletes.
What a swell idea, Vance! I've been trying to figure out how to persuade my compatriots why visiting the US aren't worth the risks, and it really helps when the Vice President makes my case for me. Cheers, buddy!
Everyone, go to the world cup to beat up ICE and throw them in a prison where they can’t leave.
I wonder if the IOC will be using the World Cup as a test bed. This certainly will not go well - there will be horrific stories coming from the few athletes and tourists that DO come for some reason, and attendance will be otherwise annihilated. What are the chances that the 2028 Summer Olympics in LA get moved? They'll have 2 full years to ramp up in another city elsewhere in the world, probably one that has had the Olympics in the recent past and has the infrastructure built out already.
It won't be moved, like the Olympics wasn't moved from Berlin in 1936.
Most of the matches are in red or previous swing states, Washington is the only actually blue state on the roster, this would just be more hurting their own
I’m just honestly so confused. Do they want to expel all non-white people and non-Christian white people, refuse entry to everyone including tourists, and basically just close themselves off from the rest of the world like a population of white hikikomori?
Don't you remember learning about Germany in school? According to history disabled people are going to the camps as well. And RFK has already annonced that they're going on a list. Then it's non-straight people. And then they came for...
