My bad. Qatar, not Saudi. Which clearly undermines my point. But then, I’m not a real person. I’m just a bot. Like all of Bonesaw Billy’s mean critics

Why such a fragile snowflake, Bill Burr? You can always become a dental hygienist and move to Idaho. I hear the Saudis are building an Air Force base there. Who says you can never go home?

As an expelled student editor on the FBI’s Subversive’s List, I’ll never forgive anyone who took Saudi GOVERNMENT money to blow dry the regime that kidnapped, tortured and murdered the Washington Post’s Jamal Khashoggi. Especially days after Redford died.

If we are taking in β€œtrillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

In light of #RiyadhComedyFestival
I find myself even more curious about the late Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

. . . and then Bill Burr took money from the terror state behind 9/11 and the torture and murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi. This expelled student journalist will never forget what #BonesawBill did

Trains Not Planes Establishing Artist Boundaries in the Idiocracy

I wrote this 3 months ago.
Since then, many more aircraft "mishaps".
And #Newark.
Oh, and a 3rd fighter jet "fell" off an aircraft carrier.
I'm sure it will all get better in another 3 months.
Right?
