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 1 week ago

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

I haven't since you elected the orange idiot

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 21 points 1 week 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 1 week ago (2 children)

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

[–] wewbull@feddit.uk 5 points 1 week 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 1 week ago (1 children)

Does he really contain it though?

[–] ZDL@lazysoci.al 1 points 1 week ago

Bloated, bald bag of overflowing and ruptured fecal containment?

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

Roger that. 😂

[–] Bo7a@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week 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.

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 48 points 1 week ago

Roger that!

[–] nucleative@lemmy.world 47 points 1 week 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.

[–] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 36 points 1 week 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 12 points 1 week 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 7 points 1 week ago

Oh yes, great idea 😁

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 week ago

Don't threaten me with a good time.

[–] UpperBroccoli@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 week ago

You got it, buddy.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 week ago

Help, my country is full of belligerent idiots in power

Must be Hozier’s cousin. That’s not Hozier.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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.

[–] betanumerus@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago

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

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago

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

[–] Corelli_III@midwest.social 6 points 1 week ago

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

[–] Lanske@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Yes please!

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week 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 1 week ago

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

[–] Microtonal_Banana@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

People sure do lose their minds when folks are crusing in the left lane. It even creates international incidents with unhinged border guards.

[–] TheJesusaurus@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago
[–] Zamboni_Driver@lemmy.ca -5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Can we admit that they probably yelled this at the Canadian because they are sitting in the fucking left lane driving slow as fuck for no reason?

I regularly yell shit like this at New York plates blocking the traffic on the 401. I wouldn't want left lane hogging morons in my country so I don't fault them for feeling the same way.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wouldn't want you to show up late for the next red light.

[–] Zamboni_Driver@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 week ago

There are not typically stoplights on freeways...

[–] Tuxxer@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago

How about we don't mention the other embarrassing detail, that foreign drivers are likely to hear the same thing on yonge street in Toronto, from Canadians.
