TL;DR: 73% of American expats leave Spain by the two-year mark. It's not as easy and lovely as it sounds. In most cases it sounds like Americans try to make Spain more like America. Hilarious. What the fuck do they want?

Welcome back to the forever war folks.

Happy New Year.

When you’re the most unpopular president in history you’ve gotta do some regime change, that always works out just great.

Hey, where the fuck did all the “gorsh, I just can’t vote for Harris because of foreign policy” people go?

Actually, never mind. I’m glad you’re too embarrassed to speak right now. Do us a favor and stay that way. Consider it a necessary act of contrition.

Holy shit. He really did it. It's a god damn coup. President Maduro is in custody. Bondi even had the nerve to say he awaits trial in the U.S. for "narco terrorism charges". Now for a simple little step I like to call nation building. Who better to build a new nation abroad than our very own military?

Every mainstream thinkpiece writer who said he was a peace president should jump into lava.

This isn’t going to end how the condo sales people in his cabinet think it’s going to…

Edit.

Okay they’re just saying the quiet part out loud now. They’re there for the oil.

Bush 2.0 only much much stupider.

“I was elected on getting out of these ridiculous endless wars, where our great military functions as a policing operation to the benefit of people who don’t even like the USA,” Trump tweeted on October 7, 2019.

Especially stupid considering we're in a stage of oil surplus. Trump dismantled a bunch of environmental regulations blocking drilling and none of the companies are drilling new wells because it's not currently profitable enough to risk the overhead costs. We're producing domestically at record levels and have been for years.

I have never wanted to visit the USA because I always found it too crowded and sterile for any positive personal experience. I never thought I would resent the people, everyday people living there that made this so much worse for all of us, but here we are.

I really feel sad about the timeline we're living in right now. Looking back, I can see how a Hitler could come to power. Too many people were hella poor and needed to blame someone. But this is just the lowest of humanity making all the impactful decisions on a global level taking into consideration how good we're having it in regards to not so distant past.

It's just sad, that's what it is, and any attempt at rational discussion about it is just rage-baiting. No self reflection for this nation will come out of this and your midterms are not gonna fix any shit.
