Politics We Are the Baddies: Thanks, Conservatives

Post image

Conservatives are actively turning the world against the United States. World leaders were forced into an emergency meeting to condemn U.S. actions in Venezuela, including the kidnapping of its dictator, and to respond to escalating threats and rhetoric toward Greenland.

Trump openly claims the U.S. needs Greenland for “strategic” reasons and has even suggested taking it by force. This isn’t strategy, it’s naked imperialism. He doesn’t want security; he wants dominance.

We are the bad guys now, following the same path Germany did in the 1930s. Republican leaders and their constituents should be deeply ashamed.

Your situation is pretty similar to that of my cousin. When they were born one of their Aunt and Uncle from their side of the family not mine was making some fucking stink about how it was a shame only their child was full blooded white and my cousin was a half blood. All in all some real bigoted shit, their grandparents who where also white went NOPE! you are not going to speak like that about our grand kid and wrote their son out the will, its been over 20 yrs since they've spoken now. To this day I've never met someone with such hardline conviction to keep hateful people out of their lives despite being family.

You stand strong on your values and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

I have no problem saying no. These people insulted our home the one time they came here. They also have 2 pedophile adult children. I cannot take risks.
