I’ve been saying foreign visitors shouldn’t really come right now. They’re gonna get to feel the bullshit up close. I’m afraid to say it, but our country is an asshole lead by an asshole.
Good. No one should spend any money here. No one should visit. No one should relocate even for a great job.
I'm sad to report, this is a banana republic.
I hear ya!! I live in NY but won’t even go into any of the red states where females, LGBTQ, and other groups are second-class citizen. I’ll spend my money traveling to Europe!
I've been trapped down here for 15 yrs. It's so much harder now.
Before America fell, I could chat with a stranger at a store or wave someone into traffic in front of me...but since I have now learned exactly who these folks are at their core...I just can't.
I hope they were blonde and blue...it will help if I can illustrate to these folks down here that it's not "just" brown folk.
The men down here aren't event hiding behind the slur " illegals". They're saying it outright. Because they can.
Hawaii, an isolated island, is very proactive in preventing people without paid for accommodations and paid for return tickets. Even when returning from the mainland to my Maui home I had to give my address and local phone number before you get off the plane. Foreign flora or fauna searched for.
If they could boycott the 1980 Moscow Olympics to protest Kremlin controlled dictators in Russia then, they can boycott the 2026 LA Olympics to protest Kremlin controlled dictators in America now.
The best we can do is have the Olympics be the worst financial disaster in Trump history of financial disasters. Of course, the Olympics has been a financial disaster for most cities that host it, so I don't know if it will make a difference.
Too much grift everywhere. What do we want instead?
I do not cheer on failure. I try to remain hopeful, even in these times. I hope for the success of both the Olympics and World Cup. But, remain saddened for the prospects.
The greed has to be stopped. People must be more important than money. So the people with billions have fewer billions. That sounds like success to me. We have been admiring and enabling money addicts who are ruining our economy. They need to lose, it's the only thing they understand.
Every time I see someone talk about how much foreign tourism to USA has dropped, my only question is how is the still that much of it 😅 I've been stopped for some extra questions at the border because of my beard and easily tanning skin and I'd be afraid for my life crossing US border atm.
I guess so, but still, no amount of money that's already been spent is worth taking the risk of ending up in a prison from which allegedly the prisoners aren't expected to ever get out alive.
Even if they succeed bringing manufacturing back to the US, it won't make up for the financial loss of tourism and selling our goods on the international market. This guys is the worst businessman ever, and he gloats about it. Stupid ppl don't know how stupid they are.
Imagine the Red Necked Hooting and a Hollering MAGA Hicks when the 2026 FIFA World Cup takes place.
Country's that they perceive to have crossed them (That's all the teams taking part) their fans will be rounded up on mass.
FIFA are going to have a financial disaster on their hands as fans boycott
stay away from the disunited states!
1) They don't need your money.
2) arrested for no reason, unless you're a white male billionaire
3) democracy is dead there
Most European countries issue a travel warning for travelling to the US, that says a lot!!!! They even suggest taking a burner phone and they warn the LGBTQ+ to not travel to the USA.
🤔… STRONGLY reminds of when E. European Tourists TOT FLIPPED WIGS over Body Scanners that ‘Invaded privacy’ a few years bak.
… Yahkno, while it was just another day that ended in ‘Y’, for Tourists/Travelers/Residents of other… Darker… Persuasions because… Well, ‘Darker Persuasions.’…
Joe forgot to do a lot of stuff because rule of law and upsetting MAGA.
There were reports of ICE agents having NAZI and White Power tattoos for years.
Strip searching two young female German tourists…
Finding nothing at all…
But then refusing their entry into the US (Hawaii) anyways!
—We have fallen so fast and so deeply into a nasty fascist pit this nation of ours!!
The cruelty is the point. But, if you show up anyplace without hotel reservations or an itinerary, you're going to get hassled. Back when I wore a nice suit, I was held up at Heathrow because I didn't have an onward ticket. Always have (refundable) hotel res. & tickets to show at Passport.
Tho had a friend tell me that it's usually someone flagged in the system already to search who gets searched. And whenever she has thought "this person seems ok" but they search them anyway? Covered in hidden gang tattoos, usually smuggling too. It's wild.
Remember this is all part of putins plan and trump is obediently doing the job he has been assigned. We have severed ties with family and associates who still support trump and republicans.
Glad I said no to my wife asking if I wanted to visit US in December. I've nothing to hide, including my contempt for the orange shitbag & his cabal of incompetent fuckwits. Going to Canada instead.
You know I'd be interested in seeing Canada's numbers, if they've had an significant increase in tourism over the last month or more bookings for future.

After 12 hours of interrogation, unpacking the car, emptying the coolers and luggage we were offered and indefinite stay in Canada or leave.
We left...I'm going back this summer. 🤞

Further makes you wonder if that video was saved anywhere to be ogled at a later time.
Same ppl.
Meh - we may have accidentally strip searched a German tourist and kept her locked up illegally for a few days...

The American games not so much
They're tourists not terrorists.
It's all in the drawl.
Incredibly foolish actions.

Canada it's tops and bottoms. Top first, search. Top back on, bottoms off, squat, search, all clothes on.
Only get searched if there was suspicious shit eg visavle drugs/gang tattoos
