Trump curse strikes again.

[Nathan _in_Arkansas]

Thaaaaaat’s a shame.

[liberalh8ter]

She used her injury to virtue signal over the awfulness of her privilege. Of course, she only did so AFTER receiving treatment. She should have set the example and not used her “privilege” to receive medical care.

[DIRTYSECRET]

I don’t think she’ll go off the grid in the future.

[Secret Agent Man]

Well, she will milk a lifetime movie out of this one.

The Congo is closer to Wakanda than S.A...

[yetidog]

I guess I might think the same way were I Ashley Judd but I am not her and neither is the rest of the world who has to live with “it is what it is.”

Have a friend who, while on a missions trip to South America, was in a bus accident that nearly cost him his leg.
If it had not been for his parents flying down and getting him evacuated back stateside, they would have amputated it right there.
As it is, and after 6 months in a cast after surgery and some extremely painful physical therapy (like pass out from the pain), he walks with virtually no limp unless he’s very tired.
So, Ms. Judd has a long row to hoe, I’m sure.

[Yorlik803]

OH NO!!!
Anyways.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

These celebrities make me sick. What Africa needs is free market capitalism, education, and the rule of law, and none of this stuff would be happening to them.

Prayers up for this lost and confused child of God.

[EEGator]

I have no clue...

[MomwithHope]

My first thought was - Hallelujia! At the worst she turned to God for solace, I pray she stays that way.

[CaptainK]

I don’t need to go to the Congo to have an understanding of the poverty that exists there.

It’s why I stay home.

When she was reasonably attractive...and looked like a twin to a lady I once dated...

[Tijeras_Slim]

A couple of old cowboys I know were elk hunting in the mountains when one had his horse roll on him and break his leg. They splinted him up and rode out. When asked how long it took he said 3 bottles of Jack.

[mass55th]

"Describing “an incredibly harrowing 55 hours” during which she was transported, in part by being hand-carried out, in part on a six-hour motorbike trip..."

When will she be coming out with the claim that she was sexually assaulted during her trip back?

[colorado tanker]

She seems to be completely unaware why a country blessed with such rich natural resources still lives in such poverty. Corruption, civil war and socialism can tear a country apart.

Back in the 90's a co-worker's spouse had a job at one of the big mines in Eastern Congo. He made big bucks but then the wars came and the mine shut down. It's in one of the regions where women now make money servicing UN troops.
