The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

So what do you think was the order of events here? You think the plan was...

"Mr President, we're going to do the ceremony, and while we're doing it, we want you to slyly slip this gift we're giving to you into your pocket. Make sure most of the people in the stands can't see what you did until they read about it the next day. That's how we honor people at FIFA"

I'm genuinely curious what you think happened. Truly.

I have no idea what you're referring to about personal attacks and down voting. I posted that comment and hadn't returned to this thread until just now. Really could not care less.
