Trump giving personal orders to harass critics is not unusual for him. What is alarming is this is not a border crossing... USVI is a U.S. territory, and flying from USVI to Miami should not require a customs search or inspection, so this was clear targeting. |

| GenoDRPh Member since: Aug 24, 2023 Threads: 6 Posts: 3149 | Directly because of this, I have long since stopped bringing my primary electronics overseas. I have a travel phone. A late model cellphone usable in whatever foreign counry I am traveling to. I have only the most essential apps and contacts. Email account is dedicated to strictly travel related business-airplane alerts, hotel, etc. Same with whatever tablet or laptop I bring with me. That way, if some Stormtropper worshipping CBP agent wants to search and seize, they will find nothing. I also take great pains to keep most personal and absolutely no work related info on such devices, so as to minimize chances for privacy leaks. I also will never ever give any cop or LEO my passwords or passcodes. If they want them, they can go to a judge and get a warrant. Anyone who crosses the US border with information on their devices they can't afford to have confiscated or don't want the government to see, in this day and age, dos so at their own peril. Courts will NOT protect you. |

That's why I'm afraid to cross the border. I am an American Citizen but I was not born in the country Because of that, I'm afraid they might want to take a good look at me and my devices On another note Thinking about the midterms Its so obvious it's going to be a blue tsunami Ive never seen a more tone death party in my entire life. Laura Ingram and Scott Bessent are insisting this is a fabulous economy Others in the party do admit it's bad but they are still blaming Biden WTF Talk about a total disconnect But honestly I think the Blue Wave will be meaningless No way Trump gives up power I think Stephen Miller will convince him to declare martial law for the good of the country preventing the Dem party he considers enemy of the state from having any power |

The democrats are equally confused, or as you put it, tone deaf. The dems have not unified on a platform, on a message, that can and will resonate: their schism is causing infighting and a seeming inablity to coalesce. |

Yawn This is the way it's always been Some things never change The Republicans are doing so terrible, a blue tsunami is envitable "I dont belong to an organized political party. I'm a democrat" Will Rogers |
