Meanwhile, FIFA announced that it is planning to sell a major stake in the World Cup to a Kushner family firm.

    I explained FIFA to my wife recently by saying, “They could replace their existing board members (as needed, of course) with known, convicted, avowed pedophiles, violent ones, even; and the planet would still tune into the World Cup in droves. They already despise FIFA, so not much would change.”

    Before anyone claims investigations don’t matter:

    The point of doing investigations before getting political power is investigations take time, and if you already have enough evidence then as soon as you have political power, you’re ready for grand juries.

    We can’t afford another Biden scenario where you show up day 1 and spend 2 years “looking into” the things you campaigned on.
