    🤦🏻‍♀️ What about the people who don’t use social media? Or have used social media for less than 5 years?

    Or people who disclose a suspiciously wholesome 5 years of social media use? Or use social media platforms that allow backdated posts - how well are those going to be scrutinised?

    Why am I even asking? This is all so stupid. People only want to travel to places where they won’t be immediately grilled on what they think of the dictator. (…Out of curiosity, what’s the process like for North Korea? Strictly for comparison.)

      I’m pretty sure the only posts I’ve put on Facebook in the past five years are all a version of, “Hey, I’m just checking in so y’all know I’m still alive.” I haven’t updated my personal information on there in about a decade.

    None of you better come here. I’m not saying this because I don’t want you here, I’m saying it because we are literally on fire right now. We have a lot of finding out to do.

      Check under your couch for Russians. Or Venezuelans. Or is it Chinese? Whatever it is, it’s certainly not a home-made problem.

    Wow. Even China doesn’t do that.

    edit Might be that they don’t need to get it from you

        Between China and the US I’d currently be less worried about visiting China. And I’m a white dude who has bashed the CCP online plenty.

    Wow. Next year’s World Cup is going to be either the biggest debacle, or played to empty stadiums (in the USA anyway). What a complete and utter fuck up.

      I mean it genuinely is, seems like others are still in denial and not getting the message.

      European: Haha, yeah I hate foreigners too! Now, onto our vacation in the Florida Keys-

      Trump: No, you. I meant you. Get out.

      He’s getting his buddies those covid-era interest rates, one way or another. Our sacrifices are ones he’s willing to make.

      Pages 732 and 736 of project 2025 (50% complete already btw) outline the “suffolk banking system” that they’re forcing.

      Combine SCOTUS ruling on the 14th amendment in summer of 26 and you can start to see the narrative of canceled midterms. Dude jerks off to the thought of surpressing riots

    Lol - looks like my old man is never getting to the US. He posts at least 1 meme a day on Facebook that comedically shits on Trump. It’s become something of an obsession.

    Meanwhile, my brother-in-law is hoping to get to Boston with my nephew to watch Scotland play at the world cup. He’s been frantically un-liking dad’s posts and deleting his own for days.

    The US are really working hard to get prohibition, 30’s great depression, and McCarthyism all at once.
