        SUCH an underrated city. I spent a day there back in 2022 and it’s so pretty, calm, peaceful, fucking fantastic chocolatiers…

        Actually, as an American, I found all of Belgium highly underrated. Everyone always talks about Paris, Berlin, and Munich as the crazy big tourist destinations in that region.

        I went to Brussels for my birthday in spring 2022, and its easily one of my favorite birthdays to date. Unf. Big Belgium Fangirl here. 10/10 I want everyone I know to visit.

    Y’all Americans on this post need to cheer up. You don’t know what ‘the end’, the apocalypse, doom, or whatever sinister synonym for ‘conclusion’ even is, what a curropt government really is, and less still know what misery feels like (I don’t either). Acting like it’s the end of the fucking world and getting all nihilistic is the most shitty-American thought there is. Stop crying and help? Or just keep watching. It’s not the end of things and nothing that can’t be fixed.

    The meme made laugh my ass off though

    Edit: I’m American :P

    GUNS GO OFF … several shots ring out

    Dozens of dead immigrants, Europeans, Middle Easterners, Africans, Asians lie on the floor or are trying to crawl away with bloody gun shot wounds

    Somehow the two Americans are still standing there holding their guns.

      Thing aren’t ok now. We’re actively funding people that kill civilians and children, all while the people back home living check to check are defaulting on payments, trying to afford ever increasing grocery prices and gas. But the stock market and billionaires are doing good so at least we have that.

      We’re the country of giving up your life and health for the rich.

    “So Mr President what has your government done for young families and in particular childcare and parental leave on your 4 years that will rally up the democratic base come 2024?”

    “Taxes? Isn’t this the line for Metallica?”

      I mean, there’s this.

      And this.

      He’s also the president: he can make proposals, he can sign executive orders, but he can’t force funding for those things. He can’t wave his hands and pass laws – those are things congress does, and shockingly every single progressive or pro working class idea he or his party backs gets immediately shut down in congress by the GOP.
