Folks learn through pain.

Apparently the COVID situation in 2020 (where millions were sick or died) and January 6 insurrection was not painful enough to prevent this orange clown back into the WH. I mean, the shit he did before he was elected in 2016 should have been a disqualifier.

And I would not encourage the rest of the planet to aid the US in case of a natural catastrophe. Let the US pull itself up by its bootstraps.
