I don’t really mind people with duel citizenship deciding to change their location - my disbelief is just how entitled and blind some Americans can be to the idea that 1. they might actually not be welcome in a foreign country and 2. that they can simply decide to move somewhere and face no barriers/obstacles to it.

There are lots of depressing parts, really — but one of them is that by design, a competent person who saw the MIC for what it was would never be allowed within twenty square miles of the presidency.

Of course he doesn’t actually believe any of what he’s saying, and has very recently made a huge show of pumping more money into the very apparatus whose existence he’s now decrying, so for the record uhhhh yeah still fuck him.

In other police shooting news, the Salt Lake City Police shot an unarmed 13 year old boy with Asperger’s syndrome, after his mother called for a crisis intervention team. 

Speaking, once again, of Donald Trump, the president is also going around accusing military leaders of being war profiteers, which would get him kicked out of Thanksgiving with most of his voter base but is somehow fine when the commander-in-chief of the armed forces yells it.

What an arsehole. In my country, everyone entering (only citizens and special exemptions at this point) has to do two weeks compulsory hotel isolation (which after months of the government paying for it, is now paid for by the traveller and costs about $3k) and can only exit with a negative COVID test. Being asked to

Now, I am as liberal a person as you are like to find in this country (Bernie Sanders is a moderate Republican sort of leftist) and love a good Trump bash as much as the next person. But in his comments about the military, I cannot exactly find the lie. Given the pipeline between the upper brass in the Military and

I remember visiting my Kentucky relatives as a kid, and they would absolutely force feed us gallons of that foul shit.

She gives me a “when white privilege meets first world problems” type of vibe. To be this oblivious is a curse and a blessing in this day. They are too witless to see themselves how others outside of their bubble see them. But they have also managed to take their insipid narrow-sightedness to a level of monetization.

Is it possible she’s not working with an NGO? Is it possible she’s working with a shady ‘charity’ which doesn’t adhere to international standards?

Nope. When is the last time you went on holiday in France, Europe?

You should, because the main purpose of wearing a mask is to protect other people.

How many times does this need to be said?

Really curious about what NGO was accepting voluntourists to work with gorillas since the species has been deemed a huge risk for contracting the virus from humans. Highly doubtful she’d have been anywhere near them but you never know since these NGOs are suffering financially.

The gorillas are the ones doing charity work.

I mean the people dying aren’t the careless- they’re the vulnerable ones who got exposed by the careless.

She’s publicized her existence for money, that’s what being an influencer is, so she’s opened herself up to criticism. Since she does make money that means, unfortunately, that she has followers/actually influences people—so criticizing her poor behavior in African countries is totally valid.

It’s all just a huge unknown - which is why it’s silly for anyone to assume they can’t get it again. Doctors have no fucking idea - COVID-19 has only been known to us for less than a year!

Two thoughts other than the obvious eye rolling this induced:

William Barr is right there with Mitch McConnell in the “evil fucking bastard” echelon of enablers who I view as WORSE than our shitheaded president. Donald fucking Trump is vain and petty and stupid. Barr and Mitch know what the fuck they’re doing and have fully taken advantage of the idiot in the Oval Office to
