    The Olympics and World Cup should be relocated away from the US.

      As much as I agree with don’t go there, the Olympics were in Russia and Brazil not too long ago and the World Cup in Qatar and Russia. If those places were fine (which, from the looks of them, they werent) then the US is still ok to handle them for now.

        I don’t merely mean for punitive measures, I worry about ICE enforcement against athletes and fans.

        Since clearly greed is paramount why deliver the funds and leverage to shake down foreigners? It’s sadly not like they’re beyond common mob tactics.

        You’re right. I mean, the nazis had the Olympics in Berlin in '36 too, what’s the worst that can happen?

      The next American Olympics is in 2028, in Los Angeles. HitlerPig should be out of office by then, but if he suspends elections, or does some other wild maneuver to remain in office, most countries in the world will boycott them, and we’ll have an Olympics with mostly just Russia, China, and America.

          You’re right, I don’t know what I was thinking. The 2028 Olympics will be happening at the peak of the 2028 Presidential election, which will probably be crazy, especially if HitlerPig is trying to run again.

          He’s going to want a big, beautiful Olympics, and he’ll be pissed that it will be ruined by European and other countries boycotting it. American athletes, visitors, and viewers should boycott it, too.

        the damage is done, probably will affect how many people show up in LA, if another republican wins, definitely less likely to see tourists.
