Kim Iversen has always been clueless. Didn't realize Tulsi Gabbard was full of it back when she was running for office.

@JeSuisUnHombre Reminds me when talking with someone about their dream to visit Disney: "no way, unless you are talking about Disney Paris or Tokyo". To be fair, I guess both are still bad choices as those still means supporting the USA and it's current administration, so next time I should recommend a theme park from a non-USA based company.

I know two people who recently went to the US. One had to go for business reasons, and we assumed there would be no problems (although werent sure). Indeed no problems.

The other one went to visit family, and we were concerned. In that case there was an increased questioning at the airport but also no actual problems.

Now, both of these are pretty unpolitical people. If you have any past of sharing certain political views online or on your device: yeah don't even bother to think about going there.

@JeSuisUnHombre

It's not long since this guy from Norway was detained for several hours while security went thru his social media accounts

They found an old meme presenting J.D.Vance as a bald baby

Then they sent the guy back to Norway...

However....

If they spend even five minutes going thru any of MY accounts, then I will most likely NOT be returned to Norway. Instead they'll just "lose me" somewhere near the southern parts of Cuba...

So, no... I'm not going anywhere near USA! 😄
