They are adults getting paid to be in the Congo.

What did they expect in the Congo? Didn't they ever see Johnny Weissmuller when they were growing up? Suck it up cupcakes, and skedaddle your pale candy arses home.

Does this mean the locals were not pleased with the lectures on the future of transgenders in the Congo?

They better run fast!

I am hoping that this removes a lot of dark money from DNC coffers, I’d bet dollars to donut holes this was the cash behind a lot of voter fraud.
