America Swaps Spit with Ariana Grande

She licks our doughnuts, we spit on her: High-Profile Hillary Clinton Supporter: ‘I Hate Americans. I Hate America’

Security camera footage released on Wednesday shows pop star Ariana Grande, who supports Democrat Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential bid, expressing her extreme distaste for the United States of America and its citizens.

“I hate Americans. I hate America,” Grande is shown saying on the footage, captured at a California donut shop and posted by TMZ on Wednesday.

And now to Ace for the outrage:

 No, I have no idea who this is, either, but a google search indicates she sang a song which I guess was popular called "Problem," which is sufficiently pointless and indistinct from every other terrible song that it would naturally appeal to undiscriminating children. It's linked below here.

I linked her once before, when she was too tired to walk, and needed to be carried, like a 2 year old.

But I get to throw that "Problem" in the headline like I'm au courrant enough to make a joke about this.

I don't really care that she said "I hate America;" as someone who has watched my country descend into a shithole, I've thought --and said-- the same thing. Sure, she has stupid reasons for saying it,, but I can't knock anyone for occasionally, or frequently, looking at this country and saying "What a piece of shit, what a bunch of dummies."

I think we've all had those moments. However there's a difference, I think, between liberals and conservatives. Conservatives like and appreciate the country for what it is, with a little grump on the side for the way it's going, while liberals don't like the country the way it is now, but love the version they hope to institute when we all shut up and quit resisting them.

On the other hand, I can be a little bothered that she and her boyfriend licked donuts and then put them back so that unsuspecting strangers could unwittingly enjoy their saliva and undiagnosed STDs. Definitely a party foul.

I can also be annoyed by her I'm offended that YOU'RE offended self-justification:

"I am EXTREMELY proud to be an American and I've always made it clear that I love my county (sic)," Grande told FOX411 in a statement. "What I said in a private moment with my friend, who was buying the donuts, was taken out of context and I am sorry for not using more discretion with my choice of words."

And why were you buying doughnuts?

The 22-year-old explained she was frustrated by "how freely we as Americans eat and consume things without giving any thought to the consequences that it has on our health." She admitted that she should have "known better in how [she] expressed [herself]," but seeing the doughnuts reminded her that the "United States has the highest child obesity rate in the world."

"We need to do more to educate ourselves and our children about the dangers of overeating and the poison that we put into our bodies," she added.

 Heavy, dude(tte)! But then, she is 22 and knows everything still.

Oh. Of course, you were Doing God's Work when you did this thing.

This dummy was upset to see donuts on display in a, get this, donut shop. I'm not sure what she was expecting the shop's wares to be -- salads? Steamed vegetables with a side of wheatgrass juice?

Um, dummy, when you walk into a donut shop, you should probably steel yourself for the unsettling reality that there will be some donuts visible.

And that doesn't give you the right to lick them.

Which was just a stupid petty act designed to show how "transgressive" she was. Get a tattoo.

UPDATE: Best comment from madashell at Althouse: "The headline should have said, "Pop tart licks doughnut"."
