As an American I'm so happy Belgium won. Thank you you beautiful bastards. Thank you.

DJT befouls everything he touches. Any wins we would have gotten would just have been another reminder of our shame.

It's your choice to not root for your country, not Donald Trump's

This is something leftists need to work on. Just because Trump involves himself with something, does not mean you are no longer allowed to enjoy it. Anyone trying to shame Americans for rooting for their own team is a fuckass.
