    I’m gonna call that little shit eater with the grin “Jimmy Beast” from now on.
    Definitely didn’t earn the moniker “Mr.”

    The Pentagon also approved funding for content involving YouTube star Jimmy Donaldson, a.k.a. MrBeast, who was slated to lead a humanitarian effort in Puerto Rico. “We did complete a PAA for the Social Influencer Mr. Beast, but ultimately did not support the production as he did not go to Puerto Rico for the Hurricane relief, so that PAA is cancelled,” a Pentagon official wrote in an email obtained by Rolling Stone.

    Guess Jimmy found something more profitable to sink is grubby fingers into.

    We also need to ask why the fuck are we throwing money at people that are ‘planning on’ having a relief effort (as a form of self-promotion, clearly–if he cared that much to help he would have found a way) instead of having a relief effort for the sake of helping people that need help??

    Puerto Rico is part of America for some reason so i have to assume they’re entitled to aid. But I’m sure when PR signed the contract there was probably some gotcha hidden in there that allows America to refuse to help or some other slimy bullshit, lol.

    Is this really where the future of disaster relief is headed? Whoever decides to make a vanity project out of the reconstruction gets government funding? 🤡

      Just a quick reminder that, last time he was president, Trump withheld disaster relief funding from democrat-led states. So yes, disaster relief funding is a huge issue which should be standardized and not based on whim, but here we are.

      Because helping people is not the goal… The PR is.

      DoD is shitting itself becuase genz and alpha pleb look at them with utter contempt due to failed wars, war crimes and corruption. To be clear they don’t really understand these things but they know DoD are imbeciles… Why die for a clown when you can die from poverty?

      But hey maybe if we get some good PR from a guy who employs pedophiles and sex pestsx we can get more plebs kids to join our stupid wars?!

      Somebody has to provide lostical support and weapons to the Israeli Jew to commit genocide in Gaza 🤡
