    Why would anyone still want to go the USA for fun? I think the USA made it clear they don’t want us foreigners anymore… just our money.

    Last month, Turkish-American influencer Hasan Piker was reportedly detained for hours at Chicago O’Hare International Airport after returning from France. Piker claims federal agents asked him, “Do you like Donald Trump?”

    What the actual fuck?!

      They chased him round and round with similar questions about Israel and Hamas. He said it really felt like they were looking for an excuse to say he was a terrorist sympathiser/suspect, so they could apply terrorism laws to him.

    It’s not “No Thanks”. It’s a firm “Fuck No”.

    We already changed our plans for our 2027 Alaska trip to Canada.

    I never understood people wanting to come here outside of a few cities or elite spots plebs can’t really afford.

    Everything else is just suburban waste land and poorly designed “cities” around what corpos need.

    Generations of grift at every level results in pathetic infrastructure along with fugly living places.

    But hey at least boomers got their mcmansiosn and suvs

    Living the American dream 🤡

      I mean national parks are a really cool part of the US and worth seeing.

      Outside of that, yeah I basically agree.

        Didn’t trump just sign an EO requiring national parks to charge foreigners admission? Guess the dumb fuck wants to be sure no one comes here again

        You prolly ain’t wrong but over tourism at the national parks is straining eco systems so that that middle class strivers check a box on their “bucket” least of conspicuous consumption

        Should people really be going there?

    Unfortunately, most of the maga hats are idiots. They’d rather lose all their money if it meant they could be more racist
