Gotta laugh at the scornful letters to the editor on those pieces. They're still saying, "Can't you give him a chance?"

Makes a mess of 42's silly theory that the President directs the FBI in a partisan way on operations. First the FBI was doing Obama's dirty business. But then they fucked the election for Clinton. And now the FBI, apparently a partisan instrument of the Trump administration now, is biting the hand that feeds it again.

Trumps authoritarian dystopia.

'Extreme vetting' would require visitors to US to share contacts and passwords

Tourists from Britain and other countries visiting the US could be forced to reveal mobile phone contacts, social media passwords and financial data under “extreme vetting” practices being considered by the Trump administration, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Travellers who want to enter the US could also face questioning over their ideology, as Washington moves away from a default position of allowing people in to a more sceptical approach to visitors.

The changes might include visitors from the 38 countries – the UK, France, Australia and Japan among them – that participate in the visa waiver programme, which requires adherence to strict US standards in data sharing, passport control and other factors, one senior official told the Journal.

Trump slump: Drop in American tourism is costing US billions
As tourists continue to steer clear of Donald Trump’s America, the US travel industry is bearing the brunt of his unpopular policies.

The ‘Trump slump’, as it has become known, is alive and well. Since President Trump took office, the numbers show, tourists just aren’t as keen on visiting the United States.

International travel to the US dropped 6.5 per cent in the eight days following the president’s proposed travel ban on January 27 when compared to the same period in 2016, according to travel data company ForwardKeys. Online searches for flights to America also dropped by 17 per cent the same week, said flight app Hopper. And the president of Dubai-based airline Emirates, Sir Tim Clark, confirmed in March that the travel ban, which sought to stop nationals from seven mainly Muslim countries from travelling to the US, immediately triggered a drop in bookings from Dubai by over a third.

All this has resulted in an estimated loss of $185 million in business travel bookings from January 28 to February 4, as calculated by the Global Business Travel Association. The drop-off in tourism is predicted to result in 4.3 million fewer visitors this year, which adds up to a staggering loss of $7.4 billion in revenue for the US.
More slump...

Who going to pay for this mess? Wise tourists though.

It looks like a stunning country in terms of natural scenery. I'd love to visit there, if it wasn't for some of the people that inhabit the place.

Plenty of natural scenery here but without the aggro. I dont need a car either.

There's nothing in the Netherlands I want to see. Flat and full of clogs and windmills.
