See now this is how we know time travel isn't real.

If timecops existed, they'd probably be pulling the plug by now.

Counter point, time travelers got bored and thought this timeline would be funny.

Time travellers thought the history books from this period were fiction and never got round to verifying it.

Damnit.

The U.S. owes the UN $4 billion; it should have no say in picking the next Secretary-General until its debts are settled.

This is just a "Trump said something dumb" thing, right? Why would Infantino even want this?

I can only imagine two possible reasons:

  1. If Infantino thinks he might be forced out of the FIFA job soon

  2. If the UN job has greater potential for bribes

Another term seems inevitable right now, unfortunately. In terms of personal aggrandizement, God Emperor of football seems way better than being head librarian at the library of global bickering.

One day he wants UN dismantled, the other day he wants his biggest corrupt appeaser at their helm.

Infantino must have let the President fellate him. That's why they're so close now. Bubba strikes again.

So, an even more corrupt UN then. Lord fucking help us.

Trump just wants to be able to say "those babies at the UN"
