    I just don’t know how the American people (I’m not including MAGA in that) expect the rest of the world to care or help when, as a nation, you’re not helping yourselves.

    We are urging you to help yourselves, before it’s too late for you too. You can tut-tut us all you like for not stopping it before, but now it’s happening and it’s a problem you’re going to have to solve. Don’t think you’ll be safe if you just sit there bitching about how you’re not gonna do anything about it because we didn’t do enough.

      It sure is a problem we have to solve but in no way should that or will that involve helping America.

      In fact the best way we can help you is by expediting the consequences of your actions.

      I could give two shits if I have to eat rice and beans for a couple of years…if it means that something will actually be done about a literal pedophile/malignant narcissist/wannabe fascist president and the political party and the electorate that are supporting him.

        What a pathetic and impotent attitude. I already said it was yourselves, not us Americans, that you should be helping. For that matter, it’s not like you personally are going to do anything about it. No, that’s a job for more responsible citizens. You’re just enjoying this opportunity to laugh at a man on fire, while he’s stumbling in your direction.
