I feel like the US is more like a Second World country. By "Second World", I mean the countries that are more aligned to Russia than to NATO. That description now fits the US, unfortunately.

Republican Representative Brandon Gill has told New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani to "go back to the Third World" in response to a video of him eating with his hands.
I guess this asshole has never eaten a burger, chicken, hot dog etc. Fucking racist piece of shit.

Zohran getting under their skin. Love to see it
remember, the super rich are the enemy of the people, not your fellow citizens from different backgrounds
I have more in common with a homeless person in Somalia, India, or China than I do with the super rich.

What is this high school?
American government sounds more and more like the varsity sports team of America High
Pretty much.
Look up Jim Jorden on you tube to really see high school nonsense. He's been at it for a decade.
You mean Gym Jordan, who didn't report on the sexual assault of teenagers under his care? That Gym Jordan?

Think the overt racism is bad now; it’s only going to get progressively worse.
It's the only way the right is progressive.
Words cannot describe the hate I have for the entire American establishment with the exception of Bernie, Zohran, and AOC.
Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Mark Kelly I'll even chuck Tim Waltz in there.
Add them to the exceptions too
Jasmin Crockett might be a decent addition too. Wish Katie Porter was still in.
We should throw in Supreme Court Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Ketanji Brown Jackson and Elena Kagan.

Don’t forget Scott Kelly, not a politician but spaceman and just as cool as his twin.
Maybe we need more astronauts in government, take a good look at the big blue ball before making life and death decisions.

Oh, I'm sorry. Which country is it again that can't do UHC but can spend billions on blowing up rockets while people starve and or can't find homes/shelter in this same "first world country"?

Gill married Danielle D'Souza, the daughter of conservative political commentator Dinesh D'Souza, in 2017. They have two children and live in Flower Mound, Texas.
So Gill's father and wife are okay but a foreigner with differing political opinions is crossing the line?
With the whole Glastonbury kerfuffle I've come to know more about this band called Bob Vylan. They have this lovely song, and it goes ike this:
I heard you want your country back
Shut the fuck up
I heard you want your country back
Uh-uh, you can't have that
The only place I know
Stolen right under my nose
By ignorant scum
Tryna lay claim to a land that ain't theirs anyway
Wait - what did you say?
I heard you want your country back
Ha! Shut the fuck up
I heard you want your country back
Uh-uh, you can't have that
I heard you want your country back
Ha! Shut the fuck up
I heard you want your country back
Well shit, me too
Blatant racism aside, look around at the devastation wrought by repugnantcon policies buddy. Zohran is already in a 3rd world shithole, and he has the audacity to try to make it somewhat more tolerable for those in his city.
The term is pretty racist itself, since it was created to refer to tertiary countryies in the Cold War, but soon came to simultaneously suggest those countries were lesser. Calling a failing state "3rd world" just further perpetuates that.

Smells like fear
His father in law is Dinesh D'Souza, the conspiracy theories guy. And like so many other hypocritical Republicans, is an immigrant who became a citizen in '91 after coming here with his parents and attending school here.
Yeah if he doesn’t win the election after these attacks then the US has passed the point of no return. If even New Yorkers are too stupid to fall for this smear campaign then the US can’t be saved.
Who? Man nobody has heard of desperate for warmth of spotlight.
Didnt they have the same reaction when somebody ate a cheese steak with a knife and fork? The things they fixate on...
Maybe if we keep squawking about a bunch of dumb shit, nobody will notice how many rural Americans are about to be fucked 6 ways from Sunday by this big beautiful bill. Then we can spin it as this guy eating with his hands made you lose your healthcare.
But he’s already in a third world country.
I asked my doctor if I should boost my vaccinations because I was traveling for work. He asked if I was traveling to third world countries and I told him, "Yes, the US." He boosted all of my vaccinations.

Ask a MAGAt to name a third world country. Instead of naming one they will name the country of the race they hate the most.

Go back to the third world where you'll have healthcare, and food is cheap, and many services are provided by the government. Go back to where medicine can be bought without 4 doctors turning their medi-square tip screen around, where self made men can become something without the financial backing of a sexual terrorist. Go back to a land of opportunity, of potential, of downtrodden poor people in need of a voice. Go back and help them rise to the top.
We're trying to become the world's last 3rd world country here.
I have nothing to say about Brandon Gill except of course: try to make it look like an accident.
