Boycott US

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

A video showing what looks to be a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer yelling at a Canadian tourist to “never come to the U.S. again” is being investigated by the CBP.

The 39-second video, uploaded to social media sites, was taken from inside a vehicle travelling south on highway I90 in New York State, a few kilometres from the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge that connects Queenston, Ont., with Lewiston, N.Y.

Why are people being so mean to this CBP officer giving a public service announcement to tourists?

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 16 points 3 weeks ago

Right? Like, I wanna scream it at these idiot tourists too

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 61 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I haven't since you elected the orange idiot

[–] SanctimoniousApe 24 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Please don't refer to the color orange when referencing our idiot-in-chief - it's insulting to the intelligence of our single brain-celled orange feline friends.

[–] ZDL@lazysoci.al 8 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Can we refer to him as the bloated, bald bag of fecal containment?

[–] wewbull@feddit.uk 5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I think the preferred description is "fucking satan".

Personally I feel it lacks panache.

The Satanic Temple people would disagree. Don't put this one on them.

Personally, I prefer the French Canadian term osti de crosseur de poules mortes. I'm not sure it translates well, but I'll give it a try:

Fucking dead chichen masturbator

Satan is way smarter and more consolation than Trump has ever been.

“Shit for brains pedo convict” is more accurate.

[–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Does he really contain it though?

[–] ZDL@lazysoci.al 1 points 3 weeks ago

Bloated, bald bag of overflowing and ruptured fecal containment?

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 weeks ago

Roger that. 😂

[–] Bo7a@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 weeks ago

Same same. I went from living in the US 3 months of every year for various jobs to now where I won't even fly over. I love our american friends, but their leadership (and lack of pushback against the same) have made it a non-starter for even visiting.

[–] nucleative@lemmy.world 53 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Even when I used to think more highly of my own country, I still thought most CBP guys are dickheads. Still do.

They are given way too much power over non-citizens and somehow that goes to their heads, making them think they are better than fellow humans.

"The country you are located in is not supported. Sorry for the inconvenience, but we do not allow access in your current location."

Never mind. I have in fact encountered the border militia while in transit at LAX. It was not a pleasant experience.

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 52 points 3 weeks ago

Roger that!

[–] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 38 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Who would want to visit that 3rd world shit hole? I wouldn't visit it, if you'd pay me handsomely.

[–] ZDL@lazysoci.al 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

If they paid me handsomely in advance, I'd buy airline tickets to go to the USA.

Then I'd skip the flight.

[–] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 8 points 3 weeks ago

Oh yes, great idea 😁

[–] herseycokguzelolacak@lemmy.ml 27 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

I've never met a CBP official that was polite, efficient or professional. It looks like they are scraping the bottom of the barrel to find these people.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

These are people who are such losers they couldn't qualify to be police. Let that sink in.

[–] ZDL@lazysoci.al 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh, my, it's far worse than that.

Border guards (in almost any nation) are those the police rejected and the prisons rejected.

They're not good enough to be PRISON GUARDS.

Let that sink in.

Border guards (in almost any nation) are those the police rejected and the prisons rejected.

... imagine a country where there are so many prison guards that this statement has any meaning.

[–] ZDL@lazysoci.al 2 points 3 weeks ago

You don't have to imagine it. Just look to the USA. IIRC it is the country that has the largest proportion of its population behind bars.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

They've been scraping the bottom of the Cracker Barrel for a while now to find their "qualified and professional" brown shirts.

Don't threaten me with a good time.

[–] UpperBroccoli@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 3 weeks ago

You got it, buddy.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 3 weeks ago

Help, my country is full of belligerent idiots in power

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Yelling at people from the next car over doesnt seem very safe, and also seems like harassment. This moron needs to be fired from his job in the US and also banned from ever entering canadian soil.

Yeah, I know what a hoser is ya hoser. That’s the joke.

[–] betanumerus@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 weeks ago

In other words, he ordered Canadians not to buy anything from the US.

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 weeks ago

Interesting. What about the child rapist and felon rump and the epstein list?

[–] Corelli_III@midwest.social 7 points 3 weeks ago

hope you folks are ready to repel these fucks when they try to pull this in squads

[–] Lanske@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Yes please!

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The pathetic little power trippers. That one has reddit mod written all over his dull eyed face.

[–] IndridCold@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 weeks ago

Oh come on. Reddit mods don't have jobs.
