The Corps that run the airlines are gonna be REALLY PISSED.......now they will have to put 2-3 bags in the pouch in front of every seat......As well as an extra biological HAZMAT container to store them in after being used. And they will have to spend even more money to have them all sent to a special HAZMAT, medical incinerator waste facility for proper destruction.........

34. Don't forget the IOC.

International Olympic Committee.
Getting a games is a matter of massive bribes and gifts and THEN massive debt to build the facilities required by the IOC.

FIFA does control everything. Any soccer you see is FIFA produced and owned.

The US has mostly avoided (as far as I’ve seen) having to build a lot of facilities for the World Cup and 2028 LA Games because we already have sports leagues that bilk localities and states for stadiums. I don’t know about the housing required for the Olympic Games in LA. Hopefully those become low income housing but we’ll see.

We almost won the Olympics coming to Colorado.......We had an incredible democratic Governor...Richard Lamm
He single handedly destroyed the Olympics coming to Colorado, by exposing the graft and corruption on the part of the olympic committee that was already taking place with just being in the running........Including the fortune that it would cost Colorado taxpayers, the incredible environmental destruction, etc etc. The best was that he was a summer AND winter mountaineer, so he knew the mountains of Colorado well. He did 14ers in the Winter, just for fun....
He showed the public the exact proposed mountain and slope, (shown in a picture by the olympic committee) that would be the only Colorado mountain that could satisfy the required length and steepness for the Grand Slalom. He knew the mountain well, and the slope was so steep it couldn't hold snow, and so the Olympic committee air brushed snow on to their picture. LOL
He also showed where the average Coloradan taxpayer, (who would foot the entire bill for the Colorado Olympics), wouldn't be able to afford even one of the tickets to attend one event....

Richard Lamm was a true visionary, may he RIP........

There are a ton of pictures on the internet of Olympic sights from the past. They show what they look like presently, and many are just incredibly expensive ruins that have all been abandoned.......

Of course Trump and Republicans would look at having the olympics.... as an awesome way to grift money, and paid for at the taxpayers expense........

$40 million to Melanoma, $35 million for promotions, and now you'll have to buy up all those empty seats so that the 1st couple doesn't get embarrassed or offended.

Bezos learned from the first time around when they lost that JEDI contract with the pentagon. I think they may have got a contract with the pentagon recently.

They’ve all got their lips glued to his ass. Tim Apple (that one still cracks me up) was there too.

28. Two-Thirds of Melania Movie's Crew Asked to Be Uncredited. One Hopes It Flops
Wed Jan 28, 2026, 02:57 PM
Jan 28

Crew members who spoke to Rolling Stone described the production as "highly disorganized" and "very chaotic," with long hours and difficult conditions.

Director Brett Ratner — who has not made a film since six women accused him of sexual assault and harassment in 2017 — was a particular point of frustration.

"I feel a little bit uncomfortable with the propaganda element of this," one crew member said. "But Brett Ratner was the worst part of working on this project."

Another staffer described a day when the crew wasn't allowed to break for meals — but Ratner got his own food anyway. "Brett, unknowingly or maliciously, got his own food, went up there, was just eating it and just licking his fingers in grubbiest way possible, either being a dick or having no awareness whatsoever to the fact that everybody else is working and no one's eating."

You’d have to pay me a LOT more than that and I’d have to be REALLY desperate for me to endure that kind of torture. I’d close my eyes if I could.
