Pol adjacent? Weird border story 

So we were waiting at the border to come back into the US (long lines of cars queued to go through basically toll booths where CBP asks you questions) and we kept ending up next to this pickup that was all bondo and duct tape with a big confederate flag mounted on a pole attached to the frame. NY plates. The dude is using 2 kettle bells as truck nuts. It was... a lot.

@angrboda so stonewall jerkoff beats us to the front of his line and sits there a while. I had seen the driver and he looked... like a gaunt faced neo nazi tbh. After a few mins he flips on his 4 ways and has to drive over to the CBP office - basically a holding area (we've had to do this before w/ Abe but for a US citizen it is very much not standard). No clue what his deal was, but extremely fuck him.

I'm surprised CBP would give him any grief given his overt love of racism, but he definitely seemed like the kind of guy who drew his own license on a piece of cardboard.

@fineursine man, weird sovereign citizen word salad is just its own genre of English.

@angrboda @angrboda I got pulled aside by CBP in my trip back to the states and got harassed for hours, they laid off once they saw I was a veteran (which made me pissed off at them obv). I asked em what made them suspicious and - no shit- said “you had pink hair and looked like a potential drug dealer”

@sleepysheep yeah, I extremely hate them. I haven't been detained for hours but I've spent plenty of time in their office dreading their bullshit. They have gone thru my entire passport rigorously questioned me about every trip to 'prove' that I'm cheating on my husband, which sucked.
