Between here, Facebook and Blue sky they got the goods on me that I hate the orange piggy turd and the repuke party!

I’ve taken awesome vacation every 10’s for my birthday. 30th Disneyland 40th and 50th Disneyworld and 60th Venice in Italy. I want to go to someplace awesome for my 70th but nervous about flying and leaving the country due to this brutal regime we are experiencing.

I might not be able to get back in. And if I do get back in, I might have to spend a week in jail before being released with zero charges. Terror is one of their goals. Dangerously Dimwitted Donnie himself said he would de-naturalize Americans if he could.

a 40th anniversary indulgence. We were really stressing the return through customs because neither of us is quiet about our opinions on social media.

When we arrived in Orlando from London, it took us about 5 minutes to get through customs. Photo, passport and a wave through. TSA Global Entry is worth every damn cent we paid for it ($100 for 5 years and includes TSA Precheck).

We also assumed they were short handed because of the shutdown and people being shifted to ICE. I really wonder if they have the man (and brain) power to really scan all these people's socials. But, if I were from somewhere else, I wouldn't come here.

Just scan your passport, let AI do the rest. It is certainly possible, therefore inevitable.

Of course, there's this inconvenient thing we call the First Amendment, if anyone in this administration cares about such stuff.

How Trump is killing the US tourism industry: $12.5B gone, visitors down 8.2% in 2025

Synopsis
US tourism is collapsing in 2025 as Trump-era tariffs, immigration crackdowns, and a new $250 ‘visa integrity fee’ drive international arrivals down 8.2%. The World Travel & Tourism Council warns America is the only major country seeing declines, with $12.5 billion lost as Canada, China, and Colombia surge
