What American values?

Grifting?
Nepotism?
Scamming?
Racism?
Misogyny?

America has no values. People have values. The words written by wealthy slaveholders 250+ years ago are all well and good but putting them into practice has, shall we say, fallen a wee bit short. The people, being stupid in the aggregate, do not want certain groups within the country to have the same rights as others. So much for American values.

Beyond that, she has no fucking idea what to do about Haiti.
