No, I live in the US and in a red state.
Seriously, the news is trying to spin it as "Oh they changed their plans" but seriously they've been hyping the fuck out of the visit and suddenly it's "JD is joining but they're only going to a military base"
Even the dumbass republicans are going wtf.
“Party of Freedom”
Hey Texans. I have the freedom to walk down the street and buy weed at the weed store. Do you?
I'll give credit where it's due, in my state which is controlled by the same freedom, this is one we have.
THAT SAID, we're the only state with the only (two) cities controlled by the state instead of the city themselves, which of course the state views the cities as enemies so... yea. "Party of Freedom" still applies.
I’m from the UK and the general feeling is not just distrust of the US government but also the complete disbelief that the American people could vote that fat traitorous wanker back in yet again. It is completely unfathomable.
I'm in the US and I have the same feeling. Surrounded by coworkers who have.
I honestly have lost all faith in the people of this country.
They'll just investigate themselves and find nothing.
I hope so too. However between Trumps Executive Order on voting and the way the people of my state and surrounding states are acting on this (they're loving it) I'm not holding my breath.
It'll probably be a good idea to steer clear of the US for a while (decades). I'd say pray for those of us that are trapped and want the hell out, but with the GOP we've got plenty of "thoughts and prayers" already.
Well damn, I was looking for a method to do it on PC lol.
Oh it might change if the the GOP gets their way. They want to strip out out the ACA or "Obamacare."
Then we get to go back to where insurance dropped parents insurance on kids at 18 instead of until 26, back to limits on lifetime and annual coverage, and where you could be denied coverage due to pre-existing conditions.
This was a state of affairs within my lifetime. You think it's bleak now, it can in fact get much much worse.
Pretty much the fastest way to be penniless in the US medical bills. Hence why we have such shit outcomes, we tend to wait until the last damn second for anything medical.
And frankly, the $1000 winning the lottery is with insurance as well.
If you have to go to the Emergency Department, $1000 is you won the lottery.
One of the biggest troubles of being a US citizen is the conservatives will happily tell you "If you don't like it, leave!"
Not being a conservative, I know my associates degree self is not gonna be terribly welcome to vast majority of the countries.
Canada... we had the same sort of thing with our Conservatives. Tom Cotton comes to mind and he's still in.
Please please please do not make the same mistake and roast her.
"I'm a dumbass who's too embarrassed to say I vote Republican."
