A fucking burqa ban doesn’t pay your bills.
Doesn’t fund more drs and nurses.
Doesn’t pay your rent or mortgage.
Doesn’t guarantee you a pay rise or your penalty rates.
More MAGA politics from Hanson!
Culture wars as to HIDE her real agenda just like her cult hero Trump.
Culture wars to gain power then bash fuck out of the poor and the workers while helping her billionaire friends with massive corporate tax cuts and the dismantling of our IR system.

🌞 GM MAGA - Quick geography lesson, and a swift bitch-slap for twisting the truth you lying sacks of shit.
It was Ceuta — a tiny Spanish territory in North Africa that borders Morocco, and is separated from actual Spain by 20 MILES OF WATER.
50,000 mostly young Moroccan men crossed and 48,300 of them turned around and left (Trump leaves that part out because it doesn't fit his narrative).
They never invaded Spain.
They never invaded Spain.
They never invaded Spain.
They never even reached European mainland.
But Trump & his lackeys saw an opening to sell a false narrative — THE INVASION OF SPAIN — pushing dozens of mislabeled videos claiming “this can happen here” to justify his waste of $110B+ to fund ICE.
DONALD TRUMP IS THE GENERATOR OF FAKE NEWS.
DONALD TRUMP IS THE GENERATOR OF FAKE NEWS.
DONALD TRUMP IS THE GENERATOR OF FAKE NEWS.
🤥 Trump called it a “catastrophe” and an “invasion of a country.”
🤥 Vance blamed “radical left-wing policies.”
🤥 Stephen Miller and the machine looped the videos nonstop.
🤥 Elon compared it to World War Z.
The footage was pure gold for the propaganda machine.
This is how the FAKE NEWS MACHINE works:
🤥 Manufacture the crisis.
🤥 Sell it as an invasion.
🤥 Ignore the truth.
🤥 Double down
THERE WAS NO INVASION OF SPAIN.

🚨🗣Jose Manuel Lopez speaking on why he was the only Argentina player watching Spain lift the world cup:
"Even if I get expelled from the national team, I have no regret for turning around to watch Spain lift the world cup"
"When we went to receive our medals, the Spanish team line up to applaud us"
"Even my captain Lionel Messi also turn his back, in that moment everything is believe in crumble"
"If I turn my back, I don't deserve to be call a footballer"
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The quotes attributed to José Manuel López are entirely fabricated. The post comes from a satirical account whose profile bio states: "Football Fiction & Satire || Don't believe a Single Word." x.com/David_Ornside

ÚLTIMA HORA:
El Atlético de Madrid está valorando tomar medidas en contra de Nahuel Molina luego de la agresión a Rodri en la final de la Copa del Mundo
El argentino le dio un puñetazo en el estómago mientras Rodri se dirigía a celebrar con la grada

A college student just killed the biggest advantage politicians have ever had. The gap between the lie and the fact-check.
He built a Chrome extension called InTruth. It listens to any live speech, debate, or interview.
Transcribes every word. And checks every claim against real sources in real time. Before the speaker even finishes the sentence.
It works on debates. Press conferences. Town halls. Interviews. Anything with someone talking on video. The fact-check shows up on your screen while they're still talking.
Until now, fact-checking happened hours or days later. By then the clip has been shared, the headline has been written, and the damage is done. Nobody reads the correction.
InTruth closes that gap to seconds. The claim and the fact-check exist in the same moment.
A college student, a Chrome extension, and an AI model just did what entire newsrooms couldn't figure out for decades.

A petition to kick Argentina from the #FIFAWorldCup gathered over 23 million signatures from across 170 countries... almost breaking a Guinness World Record for the most signatories to a petition (24,319,181) 😅
The petition was closed with a thank-you note after Spain eliminated Argentina in the final.

This World Cup has been horrible. Four quarters is horrible. The corruption is horrible. This final is horrible. Half time is going to be horrible.
Please can the USA never host a World Cup again. They have their own sports, which are very fine. They do not need to ruin ours.

Before #FIFA start pumping the propaganda tonight and telling us all how amazing this #WorldCup has been, let’s remember they oversaw:
- highest ticket prices ever and took a cut from resale sites.
- did nothing about Somalian referee and dozens of staff who were banned from entering the US for no legitimate reason.
- stood by as Iran were forced to train outside the US and travel in on match days.
- overturned red cards after phone calls with the president.
- Americanised the beautiful game with hydration (TV) breaks and 25 mins half time in the final
- guided Argentina through the tournament with less travel, VAR support and blatantly turning a blind due to their aggression and foul play.

🚨🗣️ José Mourinho on FIFA overturning Folarin Balogun's red card following Donald Trump's intervention:
"Everyone is acting so shocked today. Everyone is crying about politics and Donald Trump making phone calls to Gianni Infantino to change the rules. But why are we surprised? The integrity of this tournament was thrown in the trash in the very first week.
All this started when FIFA let Lionel Messi escape a clear red card for a studs-up challenge. When you decide that the rules do not apply to the poster boy, you open the door for everyone else. If the referee's monitor can be ignored for Argentina's captain to protect the brand, why can't a suspension be ignored for the United States President?
Folarin Balogun gets a red card, Trump makes a call, and suddenly FIFA finds a magic 'Article 27' to let him play against Belgium. It is a circus. We are no longer watching a World Cup, we are watching a political reality show where the rulebook is just a suggestion based on who you are and who is watching."

To everyone in Mexico City who made England supporters feel so welcome over the last few days, thank you. What an incredible city you have, and even better people.
For those who travelled from England, this will be remembered as one of the favourite away trips. Thank you to everyone who organised, hosted and welcomed us with such warmth and respect.
From the Chihuahuas at our Fans’ Embassy to the Lucha Libre, to the bars and the restaurants, the incredible stadium atmosphere and the respect shown after the final whistle, it’s been a trip we’ll never forget.
Now it’s on to Miami (via anywhere and everywhere in between), but we hope our paths cross again soon. 🏴🤝🇲🇽

It’s completely wild to realise FIFA’s corruption has spiraled so badly that Sepp Blatter of all people is calling them out
