So what? She won an olympic medal or two, big fucking deal! She broke the sovereign law of another country and it\u2019s just my opinion, I\u2019d bet she thought her \u201cFame\u201d would allow her to be above the law in Russia just as she thinks she\u2019s above the law in the USA. When the news first broke I was like, \u201cBrittany Who?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I was happy to see her privileged ass behind bars and applaud the Russian legal system for following their law.<\/p>\n<p>That she was arrested, found guilty, and imprisoned is 100% ON HER. She\u2019s not a victim, and not a hero, she committed a crime, and guess fucking what? There are consequences to committing crimes, at least in some places in the world.<\/p>\n<p>It blows my mind that apparently Russians take the law <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">more<\/span> seriously than the United States or most of the EU.<\/p>\n<p>Hmmm. I wonder if Romania would allow me to retire quietly if I asked nicely to immigrate? Maybe that would be worth checking out. The language thing would still be a hurdle, but probably worth it if I could have a small home and a little plot of land where I could grow vegetables in the summer. I don\u2019t need much and wouldn\u2019t be any trouble. I would want to excise myself completely from the insanity of America, and become a citizen.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not that I don\u2019t love this country. I\u2019m just tired of being humiliated again and again by the powers that be.<\/p>\n<p>Biden says Griner, \u201cRepresents the Best of America&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Excuse ME? If she\u2019s the best of America we\u2019ve got some serious problems. I can\u2019t help wondering if any other nations are taking the old moron seriously. If so, then all Americans traveling abroad can legitimately be viewed with suspicion. If Griner is the best we\u2019ve got to show the world, then all Americans must therefore be liars, and stupid shitheads. I\u2019d suspect that most countries would add thief, corrupt, deviant, to the list of descriptions regarding Americans.<\/p>\n<p>Brittany Griner is the poster child for what not to do when you\u2019re traveling. I hope she is on posters all over the world that read, \u201cDon\u2019t be a Brittany! Check your baggage for illegal substances.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d have preferred to see her fucking rot in a Russian prison. The Russians don\u2019t mollycoddle their prisoners like America does. (<em>A notable exception being the prison where the DNC is holding Jan 6th Prisoners until they break.<\/em>) Prison in most other countries is punishment.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Then we have another instance of Sam Brinton, the over educated MIT graduate who can\u2019t seem to decide what the fuck he (she\/it\/they\/them\/zem\/zer\u2026 whatever the fuck,) is. He\u2019s a boy, She\u2019s a girl, They\u2019re a dog, or something else entirely.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right;\" title=\"Sam-Brinton-Conversion-640x480.png\" src=\"https:\/\/bone-in-the-throat.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Sam-Brinton-Conversion-640x480-1.png\" alt=\"Sam Brinton Conversion 640x480\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In addition to all Sam\u2019s other fuckedupness this dumb ass also appears to have a luggage fetish.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a report that Sam has been charged with stealing some other woman\u2019s luggage in Nevada. Really Sam? Once could be a mistake, Twice says you\u2019re the problem!<\/p>\n<p>Most people don\u2019t have a problem identifying their luggage. Have you tried a pretty pink bow on the handle of your shit? Perhaps you should consider investing in an AirTag!<\/p>\n<p>My question is this, when are the US Marshalls going to roll up and arrest this fucker? When is Sam going to be fired from his cushy government job? When will Sam get to hold fetish demonstrations in a prison shower? After all, he\u2019s got himself some dick sucking lips.<\/p>\n<p>Can we assume that according to the Biden Administration that this jackass is, \u201cThe Best of America,\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>I think not! Do you think we could get Putin to put little Sam in a Russian prison? I\u2019m sure Sam would be a favorite of Russian prisoners and bored Russian guards.<\/p>\n<p>I know that\u2019s horrible for me to say. As an American Sam is an embarrassment, as a member of the LGB community, Sam is a humiliating gender fuck drag performer that belongs on a San Francisco \u201cPride\u201d float from 1980.<\/p>\n<p>Hey Sam, just do the time warp again and go back to the parade. As an aside, you don\u2019t have nearly the class that Dr Frankenfurter had.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Update<\/strong>: 12\/12\/2022 Looks like the DOE has fired Sam Brinton. All it took was two felony charges of grand theft. He is relatively low level in the grand scheme of the government. I suppose that it would take 6 or more felonies to get to some of the more corrupt elements but it\u2019s a start.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Then we have the continuing saga of Mad Maxine Waters. She\u2019s apparently been caught with her hand in the cookie jar <strong><em>again!\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>The Federal Election Commission has disclosed that Mad Maxine has been paying her daughter\u2019s company a shit ton of election donations to do shit to keep Mad Maxine in office.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right;\" title=\"maxine-waters-2-640x480-3-11-20-getty-640x480.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/bone-in-the-throat.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/maxine-waters-2-640x480-3-11-20-getty-640x480-1.jpg\" alt=\"Maxine waters 2 640x480 3 11 20 getty 640x480\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This is a woman who doesn\u2019t even live in the district she supposedly represents. That\u2019s been known for years and I\u2019ll bet she was sweating the recent California redistricting. If the lines had been drawn a little differently, I\u2019d bet she would have ended up in the rich white people\u2019s district (where she actually lives) and then she\u2019d be out of congress on her ass.<\/p>\n<p>Because I\u2019m a suspicious fucker, I have to wonder if there was some payment to the redistricting commission to make sure that the lines didn\u2019t change too much in her area.<\/p>\n<p>The shitty part of this is that her constituents are typically low income and they\u2019re donating their hard earned money to her campaign. Hey Mad Maxine, how many hungry children does it take to keep you warming that seat in congress? Just asking for a friend&#8230;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I honestly have a hard time keeping up with or processing the changes I\u2019ve seen in this country over my 60 years or so on this planet.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the America I said the pledge to every morning in elementary school. This isn\u2019t the America my father served in The Navy to protect. This isn\u2019t the America my brother served in The Army to protect, and it sure as hell isn\u2019t the America so many of my close friends who were Marines fought to protect.<\/p>\n<p>This version of America is a flaming shit show, of incompetence, corruption, and blatant stupidity.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know what it will take to bring us back. Sadly I think there may be no coming back.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps I\u2019m just cranky because my back is still locked up and reading about the excesses of a certain class of people pisses me off.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m still waiting for my white privilege to be delivered.
