#American Embarrassment

[deadpresidents]

Just to point out that while George Santos was finally expelled from the U.S. House of Representatives after being charged with 23 felony crimes, committing astounding levels of fraud, and fabricating absolutely stupid amounts of his background, it still required the heavy-lifting of Democratic members to close the deal, and a majority of Republicans voted to allow him to remain.

House Speaker Mike Johnson -- who was unanimously elected as the Republican leader of the House by GOP members in October -- continued to demonstrate his moral leadership by voting to let Santos hold on to his seat in Congress.

nothing makes me want to take a hammer to my own skull more than watching the white teenage frat boys in my ap pysch class argue w the professor abt why males who have estrogen are evolutionarily weaker and less of a man AS IF all men aren't fucking born with it and their hormonal balance would be irrefutably fucked up without that little bit of estrogen to ground them. look who skipped class to vape in bathrooms during health science in seventh grade lmaoooo

#the second hand embarrassment was insaneeee #i can confirm that education is illegal in the us as an american

important music poll

The teenager has "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "American Pie" on a playlist and of course we both sing along whenever they come on, which always (1) gives me a delightful moment of cross-generational connection and (2) makes me wonder how widespread it is that people know these very long wordy and weird songs. Especially since I did not indoctrinate the kids with either song, unless you count playing the Muppets version of "Bohemian Rhapsody" when they were toddlers.

If you'd like to sing along now, or if you're one of today's lucky ten thousand who doesn't know one or both songs, see behind the read-more.

And please do reblog for a wider response!

i love how olivia rodrigo concludes an album about the heartbreak and tribulations of being 19 with a song that completely contradicts that and is about her wanting to marry her british boyfriend. she is so silly!

#i’m obsessed with the love is embarrassing -> so american pipeline #olivia rodrigo #guts spilled

"As an American I'm so sorry on behalf of other Americans they're the worst I would never do anything like what you're talking about though because I'm one of the good ones and you can tell by the fact that I just had to make this comment to prove to you how much better than the other Americans I am and-" your silence is more appreciated actually. You do not have to talk. for the love of god shut up.

#ENOOUUGGHH THE ''haha as an american I can confidently say that other americans suck lol'' ARE SO EMBARRASSING FOR YOU STOP IT

I love that Olivia is committed to feeling everything she feels when she feels it and how much she feels it. She wrote love is embarrassing when she felt like love was embarrassing but the possibility of love being embarrassing didn't stop her from falling in love again and writing so american

#olivia rodrigo #guts #guts (spilled) #love is embarrassing #so american

Reading American Psycho and god, Patrick is so pathetic, somehow even more so than in the movie. He saw a lady on a bench sipping coffee and assumed her to be homeless(because he’s an ignorant FUCK and doesn’t pay attention to shit), and tosses a dollar into her FULL COFFEE CUP, causing the most awkward situation known to man.

#american psycho #patrick bateman #patrick constantly gives me secondhand embarrassment I swear #I can’t take him seriously #neither can any of his ‘friends’ #they all think he’s pathetic 😭 #wet ass cat of a man #I constantly wanna strangle him but it flip flops from coming out of a source of anger and a source of pity #like bro let me take out of your misery #anyway he’s crazy and drives ME crazy/neg #book is still funny though I love it

#honestly I think this one really comes down to whether you find Heather Matarazzo or Chris Pine more charming #and possibly how much secondhand embarrassment you’re willing to endure #polls #anyways I’m watching the first one for the first time since I was like. twelve #it’s. fine #it really is emblematic of the genre of films that just make up a European country and have everybody from it speak in a different accent #on the assumption that American kids won’t know #which like. part of its charm maybe. but also. not #the princess diaries #the princess diaries 2

whenever americans make jokes about filmmakers/cinephiles liking "obscure foreign films" (film that is not american or isn't in english) as if thats inherently pretentious and/or funny I experience true, deep cringe. To proudly say you think liking "foriegn" films is worthy of derision, and ALSO be so obviously unaware that thats what you think. Its deeply embarrassing

#Australians and I'm sure other non-americans do this too and its still cringe. but its more cringe when its an american #because america defines what a foreign film is. its american exceptionalism and racism. and it just feels so much more... idk #Embarrassing. The lack of perspective. #sorry im being so mean about america recently but Recent Events have only increased my hatred of the US lmao #and i think thats spreading to all the other ways I've always found the US very annoying! as we all do.

The hyper-veneration and almost fetishization of the USA's troops have honestly given rise for some of the worst types of people who want power without effort, I think.

It's why you see some entitled asshole troop who think they can do whatever to civilians because we "owe" them for them "putting their lives on the line" or the type of person who thinks they personally will stick it to a random Afghan civilian for what "their people" did on 9/11 (a racist institution fostering racism? Colour me shocked (sarcasm)).

As a US citizen, I'm personally really concerned with this attitude we have toward troops. As somebody who hates the institution of the military, I also hate that it fosters a genuinely toxic mindset - it's much like the mindset that is instilled in cops; however, when you are overseas, the people you harm are not typically US civilians, so people can sweep under the rug the injustice of terrorizing civilians who aren't "like us."

#politics #had somebody go 'do you know i am a VETERAN?!?!?!?!' to justify why he was being a complete knobhead... #...chances are he hasn't stepped foot on a military base sure but... it wouldn't shock me if he WERE in the military... #...like my dad was enlisted in the aftermath of 9/11 and the amount of meatheads who ranted and raved about 'getting back'... #...like they were batman going after the joker was EMBARRASSING. you aren't a comic book hero ffs... #...and honestly that's what broke the illusion of the troops being like... uniquely special... #...and the military thrives off of this illusion because it is its shield. the more we venerate this idea of the American Hero... #...the more justification it has to continue existing as it does. #gd bless the people victimized by the US military complex. the people suffering the most from US occupation #being a military kid really made me hate the military industial complex at an early age lol #fuck the military
