He wants to start a war with Canada not realizing that most of us south of the border would fight on the Canadian side.

No trips to red states for us, especially Texas. Canadians are $500m in tourism to Texas and are showing remarkable solidarity with redirecting their travel plans. We'll visit Toronto or Delaware instead.

No reason... no reason at all that I play this often.

At this point the boycotts need to be permanent. The United States has become like a rabid dog, that will bite again and again. I live in Maga Ohio, these folks want a violent armed take over of California and Minnesota. Every time I think I have a grip on how insane things are, my neighbors prove to be more insane. Houston still strikes me (along with Orlando Florida) as one of the least interesting places in America. I want to visit to see what I am missing. I get the boycott thing though. I don't even want to fly over them at this point. Although my wife and I really want to hike in all 50 states. I think we will camp and spend as little money in state as possible if we visit red states. I need to do Montana, Alaska, Maine, North Dakota, and South Dakota. I have the rest covered.

This can be difficult. If it's very red, hick, and thoroughly boring, it's an easy pass. When it's red by a margin, but mixed, with blue and cosmopolitan urban centers, it causes cognitive dissonance. South Florida and Tampa Bay are blue. The FL panhandle beach towns are very red, with Christian colleges and those billboards I hate. It's enough to toss a person with a religion into the "lapsed" pile. Then, in Texas, Houston is now the most ethnically diverse city in America. I went for a while because I flew out from there. It's what Toronto is to Canada on that dimension. But, yes, it is good to collectively boycott places with backward thinking. (It still won't change them.) Just like it's good to avoid certain car brands based on things that are just so wrong about them.

After our tradeshow this year in Vegas, I am going for a week of soaking in the mineral springs in Fairmount Canada. My tourist dollars will support their economy and country this year. Fairmont Hot Springs Resort - Top Hotel Fairmont, BC No southern state visits or anything to do with red states unless I am driving through them to a better place in Canada.

I need to visit Houston, more than that I want to go to Big Bend park (sp) in the south of Texas. Yep, the world will go on without us. Given my druthers, my life would go on without America. Yep. I think Europe will fare better than the USA by a longshot. On a more positive note...

Boy, I'd like to talk about other things but it's really sad how we've so quickly moved to a culture of fear and helplessness. His love for "you're fired" continues, as I knew it would 8 or 9 years ago. It is really weird to see photos of the oval office with guys in baseball caps - the usual red one and now a guy who looks like he has marbles in his cheeks who wears a black one and who stands there like a Roman centurion. Two comments: I don't know what mechanisms are in place to stop overreaching in use of power. I think that as much as we are mostly a tranquil and pacifist nation (yes, there's violence in our cities), I fear something ugly ... I just don't know what. - - - - - We have the country's trailer parks and minority turncoats, neither of whom benefit, for this.

@oldshurst442 Love those old SUVs, but I actually have come to really like the Yukon GT for me in Maroon. I know we will never see a full size 2 door SUV again, but these were AWESOME!!!

Last one, FAFO. Zero sympathy for Latinos for Trump. The wealthy folks that support Trump want the mineral wealth of Greenland and Canada, and the cheap labor of Mexico. Trump is far more accountable to them than to us, especially as the neanderthals will do anything he asks.

You have no idea how us, Canadians, are angry at all of this. Because of one man... And we are in shock how fast some Americans have turned against us Canadians because of one man's lies. We are disgusted and hurt. Angry and afraid. But we are united as we have never have been before. Florida is said to lose BILLIONS in Canadian snowbird tourist dollars. We are actually looking at packaging to see what American products we could boycott at ANY store whether its at a grocery store or hardware store. Never thouyght about that. Never crossed our minds. Myself included. We cant sometimes avoid to buy American, but we sure are trying to distance ourselves from you guys... Its sad. All because of one man's lust for power and the uneducated, bigoted neanderthals that follow him.

I am headed to Mexico. Although I honestly wonder what happens if Trump declares war on Mexico while I am down there. Things are about that insane. Boycotts seem to be working....

I sort of like it because Galveston, while not too pretty, has a funky and relaxing vibe. I like some of its suburbs, too, while on the lookout for coffeehouses. I'm guessing Big Bend is SW, so it has its mountain lions. Brazos Bend and Brazoria Reserve, south of Houston toward the Gulf of MEXICO, has its alligators. Alligators are a fact of life in big Lake Houston, at the northeastern part of the city. They periodically make appearances on Buffalo Bayou, too, and it makes the news. Maybe they like the skyline, too.

Smart General, sadly, I would hold off being in Europe this year as he might be right about what is to come to Europe again. 'I think that's over': Retired general declares death of key U.S. alliance

What is this 10.5% sales tax and what are the extra add-ons funding? Unbelievable. You can find an $8 to $10 omelette at a dive in a nondescript part of Houston. Food there isn't ridiculously expensive.

Spring still a while off...got these two out for their weekly startup on Saturday. Once the roads are salt free I'll drive the Cadillac some. Supposed to get to 50 today, hopefully most of the snow and ice will melt.

American women have largely become toxic as well. On a more interesting note... ' Back to insanity. I no longer want anything to do with this country. The Cruelty is the point, people will die because of this. Unreal.

We live in insane times. He is serious about invading Greenland...

Pathetic, truly pathetic 'Stupid beyond belief': Trump and Musk blasted as DOGE fires 'hundreds' of FAA employees @oldshurst442 I know that Idiot47 is not a reader, but this just blows my mind that he does not understand what happened at Pearl Harbor or the Arizona Memorial. Trump did not understand Pearl Harbor, new book reveals: ‘What’s this all about?’ We are so messed up with the Idiot Lemmings that are just there to kiss Idiot47 butt. Maddow Blog | Pete Hegseth’s tenure at the Pentagon goes from bad to worse I truly fear for all our personal data, if not now, I am sure it will end up on the dark web sold to the highest bidder. Musk and his Criminal DOGE group is truly going to hurt the U.S. and both my Grandfathers who fought for this country in WWII are turning over in their graves at the incompetence of this administration. 'He couldn't answer': Dems left shocked after ambushing Mike Johnson over Elon Musk On top of this crazyness, our love for the auto industry has never been put in more danger of total collapse due to the stupid leadership we currently are under. 🤔 I have not researched this, but could we recall a President?
