JD Vance attempted a charm offensive on Tuesday, and failed with the charm while succeeding in being offensive.

It happened during an announcement that former Donald Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani’s son, Andrew Giuliani, would be leading a task force for the 2026 World Cup, which will take place in the United States, Canada and Mexico next year.

Rather than stoke excitement for a global event that could be a tourism cash cow for North America, Vance decided to take a different approach — and joked about deporting the potential thousands of tourists visiting the U.S. for the occasion.

      And any tattoo can and will be interpreted as a gang affiliation. No matter the mental gymnastics required.

      She overstayed a prior visa. They will go after white people with any red flags.

      I would advise non American white people to stay away though. The current American administration wants to crush your economies and doesn’t give a shit about you. How could you justify spending your money there now?

      For all people outside the US please take a close look at your subscriptions. Amazon, Netflix, Uber, YouTube, HBO etc. That is all money being funelled into the US. Please also think about where you spend your attention. Looking at Instagram everyday pumps ad revenue into Meta. America has a massive trade surplus with the world when it comes to services. A deliberate effort to unsubscribe from these services would send message.

      I’m not saying cut yourself off from the world… But weigh your options.
