Powertripping?

I can't imagine any other reason except wanting like to be left alone.

[–] NotJohnSmith@feddit.uk 3 points 36 minutes ago

I'd say I'll be boycotting any advertisers but in reality most are american and are already on the list anyway

Germany has the opportunity to do something really funny

[–] opus86@lemmy.today 24 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I keep seeing people on the right say, "No one has a sense of humor anymore." There's nothing wrong with my sense of humor. This shit isn't funny. You have to have the mental maturity of a twelve year-old to find it funny.

Bullies think they're the funniest people.

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 4 hours ago

that's smart just make your biggest tourist event even less desirable

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 18 points 5 hours ago

And he’ll steal your bike

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 10 points 7 hours ago

It's going to happen.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 43 points 13 hours ago

The way Nazis would've joked about "gas leaks" in the chambers or some shit. It's like they want to be as despicable as they can be.

Hahahahaha good joke Mr. Vice President of the "Free World"

Fucking conservative fascists

[–] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 139 points 17 hours ago

I have been to the United States a handful of times.

The two things that went through my head each time:

My odds of getting shot just went up.

No matter what, don't get injured, and if you do, get your ass back to Canada.

That's the undercurrent of uneasiness I experienced before Trump.

Now the United States has the Gestapo snatching people off the streets.

I do not want to go there again, and would advise anyone to stay away from the United States.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 68 points 16 hours ago

Jokes...jokes....

They don't fucking joke, they are laughing when they say it because they are evil maniacal Nazis.

[–] Binky@lemmy.sdf.org 63 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

For real. If I wasn’t already here, I wouldn’t come to America for any reason. The odds of being detained and / or hassled have skyrocketed. Of course it’s exponentially worse if your skin color is on the darker side…

Fuck I hate this government.

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 11 points 15 hours ago

At this point I wouldn't even be surprised if they detained me on the border for being too white. It's suspicious! What am I hiding?!

I don't think I'll be visiting your beautiful country in the next few years unfortunately.

[–] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 80 points 17 hours ago

It's not a joke, they're already detaining tourists

[–] PunkRockSportsFan@fanaticus.social 90 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

The USA will be the first country to host the World Cup and lose money on the deal.

Tourists will go to Canada and Mexico for the games.

Only Americans will go to the USA games.

Turns out : there’s not that many USA soccer fans.

How do I do a put on World Cup futures ?

[–] huppakee@lemm.ee 8 points 16 hours ago

Not really the same but there are some etf's that track msci world without us companies, although these companies might still be naive and spent money on world cup ads.

Got you a link in case you're serious; https://www.justetf.com/en/how-to/msci-world-ex-usa-etfs.html

Absolute death worshipping ghouls

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 8 points 12 hours ago

Good one JD keep making those jokes the tourists love them.

[–] Paul_1958@lemmy.world 45 points 17 hours ago

Just another reason to avoid the US.

[–] gonzo-rand19@moist.catsweat.com 14 points 14 hours ago

Wow, right out loud in the open. I wonder if they'll make it a slogan, like MAGA. "Go home or talk to Noem!"

God, this world is bleak.

[–] Nollij@sopuli.xyz 6 points 13 hours ago

And by 'detain', they mean arrest. And by 'jokes', they mean get your coat.

[–] obsidianfoxxy7870@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

As an American it's another reason why I think we should be barred from hosting world sporting events. Also why the Olympics should be moved. The US is not to be trusted.

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 12 hours ago

Original nazis also had their Olympics, would be unfair to not allow that for trump /s

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 7 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Funny, it doesn't feel great from the inside.

[–] NarrativeBear@lemmy.world 5 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

To make American great again implies one of two things.

  1. It needs to get worse before it gets better.
  2. It currently is not, or was not great.
[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 7 points 15 hours ago

It clearly implies that America was once great.

It does not imply that America has to get any worse.

Anyway, that's all moot. It's really all just racist dog whistling.

[–] Zirconium@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Jesus Christ they're already fucking up US citizens right to be here, what makes anyone think this will go smoothly?

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 hours ago

Visiting the US right now seems like a very bad idea

[–] Gamechanger@slrpnk.net -3 points 16 hours ago

Trump and Vance are just mirrors of american society... And they are huge assholes for sure. Make of that what you will.
