Former US Ambassador Chas Freeman on whether Venezuela poses a threat to the US:
“It’s not even a significant drug source. The boats aren't even headed to the US. This is entirely concocted — about as truthful as Hitler’s claim that the Poles attacked him in 1939."
Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running.
This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.
When you’ve got senior citizens crossing the border INTO Mexico to get dental care because they can’t afford it here… which one is the shithole country?

Insanely, submitting your past 5 years' social media to enter the U.S. as a tourist is only a small part of the proposed upcoming requirements.
You'll also need to give your DNA (!) among many other new requirements.
All the additional info you'll need to give as a tourist eligible for ESTA (meaning those tourists who don't need a visa, for instance from EU, UK, Australia, Japan, and other Visa Waiver countries):
- All social media accounts from the last 5 years
- All your biometrics: face, fingerprint, DNA, and iris
- All your phone numbers from the last 5 years
- All your email addresses from the last 10 years
- IP addresses and metadata from your submitted photos
- Names of your family members (parents, spouse, siblings, children)
- All your family members' phone numbers from the last 5 years
- Your family members' dates of birth
- Your family members' places of birth
- Your family members' residencies
- All your business phone numbers from the last 5 years
- All your business email addresses from the last 10 years
If you do need a visa (i.e. non ESTA), I imagine the requirements are going to be far more drastic.

Finnish MP Juho Eerola is under fire after posting a “Je suis Sarah” profile photo mimicking the eye-pulling gesture that cost former Miss Finland Sarah Dzafce her title.
Eerola denies the image is racist and says it was “for fun”, while critics say it normalises racial stereotyping of people of East Asian origin.
