@NatureMC yes, we are a sick country destined to fall. Think about it this way: The USA was founded on: White supremacy, Genocide, Slavery, and religious fascism. How the hell does anyone not see the repercussions that would surely be coming? A country that starts this way will also end this way. I just hope that our fall doesn't take everyone else down. But at this point I spit on my citizenship, and dare them to deport me. #LandBackALLOFIT

@NatureMC how awful. I visited over a decade ago on a business trip and ended up getting stopped at the airport, taken to a side room and strip-searched because they didn't like the seams in the jeans I wore and thought I was carrying drugs. I think the guards just wanted to grope and check out my underwear. That (and having to suffer a visit to a gun range) put me off ever going again.
