The point being that using Hitler as a comparison is a clichéd, tired and lazy trope.

It might be for you, but for many it’s highly relevant.

Any time a politician shows the kind of autocratic tendencies we are witnessing now it’s wise to remember. Lest we forget!

Relevant to refer to someone who died 80 years ago. Why not Mao? Both more recent and more murderous and quite autocratic as well.

You could reference Mao but the analogies are not so clear cut. They were both autocrats whose policies caused millions to die but their methods and objectives were very different.

Trump accepting anything from FIFA has made him lesser in my estimation. I also don't understand why Mexico are sharing it. What else is he sharing with Mexico and Canada except for a border? Seems counter intuitive. I guess he thinks this will help his popularity.
I wouldn't accept anything form FIFA except cash. Seemingly, nor will the African and Carribbean FAs either.

It would make a change and both seem equally appropriate when applied to traffic wardens or posters on a website.

It appears that Biden's FBI corrupted a lot of the evidence relating to the J6 pipe bomber.

For the entire Biden presidency, it appears that they didn't only not do their job but have been involved in corrupting evidence.....I'm keen on justice being found on this very strange incident.

Laughable. You are basically arguing that Mao was a gentleman mass-murderer compared to Hitler.

Something tells me Biden was not the ideas man.

He's probably never watched The Yangtze Incident. I watch it on a weekly basis, just to stay focused and sharp.

If Trump accepting it winds up the looney lefties then I'm all for it 😃

I saw the funny side alright. I'm concerned whether Trump did or not though. I couldn't take it seriously.
But I had the same thought as you. Imagine the frothing mouths of the Trump haters. I wanted a close up of Lineker. Maybe Trump banned him.

FIFA are just massaging his enormous ego. I hope they’ve got enough polish left to make the Cup itself shine.

So do I, but it was the first in this conversation!

They need to do something - who'd watch football without Trump being involved?

We aren’t though dealing with traffic wardens, or posters. We are dealing with powerful men.

It won’t be long before he thinks the games in the USA are the best ever and all due to his involvement.
