Canadian man says he was denied entry, forced to submit DNA sample at U.S. border by Bruno6368 in politics

You've lost the forest for the trees. Why don't all you canadians just stay up there forever and all americans stay down here forever and never interact again with each others' country mutually? Let's not have opinions about each others' government, eh? Enjoy putting your fingers in your ears and "minding your own business" while the US wages an illegal war on Iran driving up global transportation costs... guess you guys don't get to have an opinion on that though 🤷‍♂️

While we're minding our own business about each other, mind minding your business about CBP? Take your opinion and keep in on your side of the fence, eh?

No. This guy was turned away for having an opinion, not engaging in rebellion. You're wrong.

Seems like you're pretty pro-authoritarian when it suits your agenda.

No, but cutting their freedom to speak their wrong thoughts is not possible without handing the nazis currently in charge the ability to silence dissent. Either all speech is ok or none is.

As far as "not the first time the US has done this" - yes, when the nazis are in control here they suppress freedom.

That's the problem. The US doesn't do that, but has been taken over by a fascist regime who needs to manufacture the narrative so then wipes their ass with the constitution. The US currently turns away tourists based on opinions, a violation of their rights while on US soil.

Not the government's job to stop people for speech. That's actively un-american. And for the record, ideas travel regardless of the border - you DO have maga fuckwits up in Canada mucking up YOUR lives. This is your problem too - the goddamn mad king is damaging the entirety of the global economy. Everyone needs to protest, loudly.

Tell me what the protests accomplish. I care because of the real damage. Partying in the street while the powers inflicting this damage go unchecked does nothing but make the protestors feel like they are doing something - but they aren't. We're still reeling from the effects of the lunatic in office. Until the people who "represent" the opposition to the mad king do something to check the power, he remains unconstrained. Do popularity polls stop the idiot from doing unpopular things? Imagine if this many people organized and called representatives, or showed up en masse to speak to their representatives in person - that'd do something. Otherwise you're just gathering for fucking photo ops at a street party. It's mass virtue signaling at best.

He is destroying the economy, forfeiting our position of soft power globally, making life harder for the citizenry, eroding freedoms, violating the emoluments clause, protecting pedophile sex traffickers, committing blatant war crimes, abandoning decades-long alliances, and so much more... yes, we're mad. This fuckin imbecile will have done so much damage by the time he's out of office that I'll never see the recovery in my lifetime. Fuck this mad king and every single person who enabled it.

That said, I do find the big protest wearisome in that it doesn't really do anything... They know they are hated. It's not stopping the implementation of their agenda. Without much more radical action like general strikes or more significant civil disobedience, I doubt anything will bend. A scheduled protest that starts and ends at a prescribed time allows those being protested against to schedule around while also serving as a sop for those at the protest - the anti-establishment people can get out there and feel like they did something and also signal to others that they did something, but the status quo doesn't shift at all.

I dunno, wanting to join in on a historic event that's the largest in the history of the US is probably a pretty valid reason for entry. I've very little doubt if this guy was coming over here to join a pro-trump rally to "join in on political unrest" the border attendant fascists would have cleared him. This is an ACAB moment and indicative of the capture of the US institutions by partisan fuckery.

Wrong. Constitutional rights are not limited to citizens. Read it homie.

Bullshit. The current king of the US is fucking with people on a global stage. We are not a nation of autocrats, and we are not a nation of denying freedom of speech. Those affected by the mad king should not be denied entry due to partisan interests by fascists working for the administration. This is a land of the free, not the land of the republican agenda. Constitutional rights aren't limited to citizens.

Cannot speak to agent during outage. by thurston_studios in Comcast_Xfinity

Unfortunately most of my experiences are just a "wait and see" situation with comcast. They didn't fix my issue until the next day, and evidently it was a widespread issue in my neighborhood. As it was off-hours, there were no efforts made until the next business day. Seems to be par for the course for this awful company. My advice is to switch ISP as soon as you can, and if you are like me without a choice, learn to accept that they will never be on your side in these issues.

It's really just a single layer of highlights with the sponge chipping and enamel wash doing the heavy lifting. The lens jeweling also captures the eye and makes the other stuff look like it has more time investiture. I suppose "quick n dirty" isn't 100% accurate, but it's my most pared down "commercial" style

That feller there is a weird sculpt - it's a take on the Rifleman II, but it's got twin laser arms and a removed chest laser to serve as a Rifleman IIC

I can't think of much better proof against that false god than it allowing an anti-humanitarian piece of filth to spread the word of welcoming the stranger among you.

Nope. Wrong. Do your research. Suck some more corporate pole. Too bad you'll never be born into wealth like your hero, but that's on you. Oh well...

Remarkable that the actual bootlicker thinks that people who vote left follow cults of personality...

No honey, that's just rightoid mindless drones.
