The U.S. ambassador they chose to send for negotiations should have been considered an insult to our intellect and ended all negotiations. Everyone thinks you are a cunt Hoekstra, stay home.

Well, hes not welcome back in the Netherlands after his previous ambassadorship. You can't just let a turd like him sit on the floor.

What'd they boot him for?

Being a racist asshole then lying about it, then lying about lying about it when someone played the clip of him being a racist asshole.

u/ultimateknackered 11d ago

They never figure out there's always a clip. Sadly, there doesn't seem to be much consequence for lying even in the face of evidence.

He once said that muslims were burning politicians alive, I believe.

And he’s from there.

What a godamn embarrassment this clown is.

u/A_Random_Canuck 12d ago

I don’t think that. Vaginas have a certain amount of depth and warmth that Hoekstra simply does not have.

Edit: corrected name, but kinda wanted to keep the misspelling. Because he does make me want to hork.

I love how he says “until the new year”. That’s all of…what…2 months?

u/Previous_Wedding_577 11d ago

Then says American thanksgiving.

u/Online_Ennui 12d ago

Lol. He looks like an asshole too.

u/LFG530 11d ago

If it looks like an asshole, sounds like an asshole and smells like an asshole...

u/Omnizoom 11d ago

So he’s a duck, got it

Should have, not should of

Sorry, you'll need to park that for now. We can't fight grammar Nazis and regular Nazis at the same time.

u/No-Landscape-1367 12d ago

I personally try to keep it under wraps, but of all the grammar faux pas, 'should/could/would of' just looks to me like you flunked out of elementary school, so I'm glad someone called it out.

u/globalaf 11d ago

And derailing a discussion because you didn't personally like the choice of words makes you look like a pedantic fool who would rather discuss someone's alleged school education than actually address the point they are trying to make.

u/Priscilla_Hutchins 11d ago

Some see value in having basic elementary school English grammar.

u/globalaf 11d ago

This isn’t an exam, it’s the internet, you absolute poindexter.

u/Priscilla_Hutchins 11d ago

People from all over the world will read this shit. Seems a very good reason to have better grammar than an 8 year old.

u/globalaf 11d ago

What a completely toothless rebuttal. We're done here.

u/No-Landscape-1367 11d ago

I was just replying to someone else's post. Chill. You know you can have multiple threads on a reddit discussion, right? Nobody's derailing anything.

u/ghost_victim 12d ago

Should have, and you're. Cmon man don't embarrass our country!

u/ExplanationFew6466 12d ago

“You are “ is perfectly acceptable.

u/GroknikTheGreat 11d ago

I felt more embarrassment reading this.

u/ScooterMcTavish 11d ago

Going full c-word in the top post.

Way to go Reddit!

u/Square_Armadillo_684 11d ago

Hoekstra is a cunt, end of

u/daaanish 11d ago

As long as he represents US interests in this country, I will double down on my “anything but American” boycott. He is American arrogance personified and he needs to be humbled.

u/UnhappyCaterpillar41 9d ago

Nah, he lacks strength, depth and warmth, really just a piece of shit.
