    Fucking shocker

    It damages my calm how many people are surprised by this progression, and how many legacy media organizations are doing the same fucking thing. Almost as if they’re trying to stall the public perception that this is a Serious Fucking Situation and we are very much not going to be ok, based on how fucking nothing and nobody appears willing or able to throw a wrench in the works here.

    I was born here… I’ve lived my whole life here… I’ll likely die here… Why the fuck anyone would willingly travel to this fascist shithole is beyond me.

      Fingers crossed that it will.
      Unfortunately it doesn’t look good IMO. It seems Americans as a people, don’t have the will to save democracy, or maybe don’t even realize it needs saving?

        I think a lot of younger people voted for Trump thinking he would follow through on his promises.

        It seems Ohio already is is expected to lose a seat in the next election.

        Also his immigration policy has been hugely unpopular.

        My dad was a big Trumper last time around. He would bring up Trump all the time. He has not said anything about him for the past few months.

        So, I think the tides are changing.

    The World Travel & Tourism Council projected ahead of Memorial Day that the U.S. would be the only country among the 184 it studied where foreign visitor spending would fall in 2025.

    America alone
    🤣 🤣 🤣

    no shit you’d have more luck getting past the arrivals desk in North Korea than you would entering the US now, why would anyone want to visit that shithole?

      Well, I’m going to visit family next month. My sister has had 3 kids since I’ve last been back and I’ve only ever met one when he was a baby.

      So there’s that. Hopefully, my flight is relatively empty so I can be comfortable on the flight.
