When it becomes clear that Don is on the way out, we can hope that at least a few more cowards in the Republican party start immediately distancing themselves from him. With some help, the deplorable effects might be mitigated before he’s officially escorted from the oval office.
And getting cought in the rain.
If someone offers you a choice between a Piña Colada and a Corona, always go with the Piña Colada.
Never go full 'rona.
The only people that care are those with the time AND money to go overseas. That isn’t most Americans.
As a Canadian I am damn happy that our border is closed. Sorry folks, but your place is a fucking mess right now and I want nothing to do with it.
My kid plays in a hockey league that until this year has included teams from Seattle. Every year we’d have to make the trip to Seattle for a game or two, and they’d have to trek up to us. I think this year that is off the table.
Many of the local soccer teams have, in the last few years, made the decision not to play in the US anymore. Too many immigrant kids, brown kids on the teams - and crossing the border is fraught when you are entering a country that throws kids into concentration camps when they have excess melanin or whatever. This is the last straw for most of us, the US kids will just have to play with each other.
One does not simply drive into Mordor.
Uh, yeah, the rest of the world has been wearing some serious blinders if they didn’t figure this out decades ago.
Intentional?
My son emigrated to New Zealand in October. We thought he was unnecessarily pessimistic. The joke’s on us.
Never before realized how handy gifs were for detecting stunt doubles.
Only when looking for Escape.
WTF? Did you omit your /s tag?
So the fact that most might not be affected directly, renders the concerns of the rest irrelevant because they are a minority?
The fact that the rest of the world thinks the US is a laughing stock/basket case and not safe to be let out, isn’t of some general concern? Almost sounds like “America first”.
Dear England: the state of yourselves!
BTW this is the reason US tourists can come here: we have an open border and share an island with the UK. Please don’t come here. No offence I hope, but I’m going nowhere (after finally starting to travel following the endless recession).
Hopefully that doesn’t apply to trans people who are seriously looking at the asylum policies of various countries as Britain becomes more hostile towards us.
I am fine about quarantine for two weeks, because if I get that far then I have no intention of going back.
Our country has a fucking disgraceful record on trans refugees.
Hopefully this is in the process of changing as its part of the programme for government that was agreed after the endless shenanigans. Or if this government collapses it would change very suddenly.
Edit
Please don’t come here refers to tourists of course. Refugees welcome, tourists not.
To be fair, you can also visit the wailing wall. Sadly St.Peters is out of bounds, but you can go to Bethlehem.
Or maybe you want to offer the heart of your leader to Tezcatlipoca? I think he’s the one to deliver relief from both sin and disease…
I’m screaming in hysterical laughter. My drug snuggling, gun running cousins in Cambodia contacted me after 11 yrs demanding I come home. Where I’ll be “safe”. No Covid-19 deaths there.
Except I’m unmarried and the youngest in my family. Which makes me property. So. I can be “safe” in Cambodia or be in my own apt, have a work from home job and will probably catch Covid-19 in the US. Then die.
EDIT: I WAS going to edit snuggling to smuggling but it works either way.
Let’s just hope that the US doesn’t end up producing a bunch of refugees!
