It's time for #Europe, #Africa, #LatinAmerica, #Asia, #Canada and the other participant nations, many of whom have already been refused entry to the #US anyway, to #boycott the #WorldCup. Time to show this orange-faced shitgibbon that we won't be bullied. #America - you now need to stand up to #pedo47 because your legislature won't. Demand they publish the #EpsteinFiles and prosecute those who are complicit in covering up. He's going to try to stop the #midterms from taking place. Don't be caught in the headlights. You already don't have healthcare, you won't have a voice either if you allow this to continue.
