You know, I'm automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissinginterfering with them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss interfere. I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.

I like how the Overton window on this has moved so far - mainly just for Americans. It's now an article of faith that Balogun's red card was a "bullshit call." That then authorizes all manner of sins and grossness.

I like your post because it argues that the subsequent behavior is ridiculous even if we accept that it was a bad call, which I suppose is what one has to argue for those who take that as an article of faith.

But that's far from universally accepted. Of course, if we don't agree that it was a bad call to begin with, that makes the subsequent corruption and temper tantrums all the more embarrassing.

stick his big fat thumb where it doesn't belong and plop it on the scale to benefit his team. Don't follow soccer enough to know if it was a good call or bad but what other world leader would use his influence to do such a thing? He is such an embarrassment.

for good and bad after the decision is final. His interference makes us seem like big crybabies, and rightly so, to the rest of the world.
Crybabies like that homicidal giant baby in "Spirited Away."

responsibility? Perhaps the most? If no one knuckles under to Trump, his power is greatly diminished. People and organizations that do, are at least partly to mostly responsible for this disastrous presidency.

After all, Trump is just being Trump and doesn't know any better. It's up to the adults in the room to curb him, because they SHOULD know better.

baked in, the word couth was extremely "uncouth". To use that term put you some place you did not want to go in society.
