FULL timeline of the campaign to bring Balogun back, according to a half dozen U.S. government & soccer officials:
- Wednesday after U.S.-Bosnia match: Andrew Giuliani alerted Trump to the red card (Trump & Giuliani had been talking multiple times/week since start of World Cup and regularly before that.)
- Wed night: Giuliani, Lutnick and U.S. Soccer officials began activating on plans to challenge red card
- That kicked off 4 days of coordinated lobbying, legal maneuvering & diplomacy that stretched from Oval Office to Zurich
- On *Thursday* Trump dialed Gianni Infantino and asked abt FIFA’s rules around the red card decision and grounds for suspension. (They’ve known each other for 8 yrs.)
- FIFA declined to confirm any specific discussions but reiterated to POLITICO that the decision to suspend the one-match ban was made by an independent disciplinary committee.
- As U.S. Soccer’s legal team formally prepared & submitted its appeal to FIFA, Giuliani + Lutnick offered to make White House attorneys available to assist
- At the same time, Giuliani and Scott Goodwin — a hedge-fund manager who had helped pay the salary of Mauricio Pochettino — zeroed in on the officiating history of referee Raphael Claus
-Articles examining previous controversies involving Claus circulated among senior gov officials as they evaluated every argument that could bolster the appeal
- On FIFA side, Emilio García, who oversees the legal affairs of FIFA, advised Infantino on the available procedural options
- García + other FIFA officials worked to determine whether the circumstances of Balogun’s tackle met the narrow standards that would allow the disciplinary decision to be revisited
- By Sunday, FIFA announced that Balogun’s one-match suspension would be suspended
- FIFA insists that the decision was an independent one made by its 18-person disciplinary committee, but it would not say whether the decision was decided through a vote, and it has not published a report on the decision.

During COVID, you could not enter the country without showing a negative COVID test within 3 days prior to entering the country.

Trump can make a new executive order right now requiring a negative pregnancy test of all female non-citizens prior to entering the country.

Again. The year 2030 was a target date they pulled out of their asses. Why not 2031? Why not 2029? Its just a date that was an even number and sounded good. They had no idea how they would implement all the bullshite they wanted or the consequences of trying.

Europe is entirely fricked up because they are trying.

We have 8 billion people on the planet and by 2100 they predict we will have maybe 9 billion. Out of the 8 billion, 1.5 billion have no access to energy for basic things like lights. Another 1.5 billion have inconsistent energy for lights (think rolling black outs). So we have 3 billion current people and another billion future people that need energy access.

How the frick did these idiots think that by 2030 we would have eliminated all carbon energy and have it provided by green energy enough to overcome the 3-4 billion people in need AND take care of the current 5 billion that have it consistantly.

2030 was stupid and IT WAS AND IS NEVER GOING TO BE achieved!

Iran has been eliminated out of the World Cup. They did not make the final 32. :usa: :rotflmao:

Its going to come down to drone vs drone battles and also anti-drone tech.

Nope. I dont care why Trump stopped the 3rd day of attacks. The fact that we did the first 2 proves that we can and will do it again. If there wasnt an MOU, I have no doubt that Trump would have done the 3rd and many more days of attacks. The Qatari threat would have been ignored if the MOU wasnt done.

You think the MOU is shitty? Who cares! Its an MOU. If they dont perform in 60 days, the bombs drop again.

Yep. Trump is all talk. Iran will do whatever the frick they want and he won’t do shite.

Trump blew the hell out of them for weeks and then just last week blew the hell out of them some more. Now we have an MOU.

So, you sound like you don't know what you are talking about.

I fixed it

Iran has agreed to never have a Nuclear Weapon! Also, the story that the U.S. is paying Iran 300 million Dollars is Fake News, put out by the Dumfrickocrats!!!" - President Donald J. Trump

The Conflict with Iran is over. Be happy. Its done and over.

Time for gas prices to drop and the GOP to win the midterms.

If Iran doesnt comply with the deal, its not difficult to bring back the US military and bomb the hell out of them again until they comply.

Some of you idiots think that Trump isnt going to follow through on whatever was agreed. We are watching Iran.

Trump just said on Fox and Friends that more bombing is coming tonight.
