My niece comes to the U.S. most years from Europe to visit her grandfather.

This year she was stopped at the airport, taken into an interrogation room, accused of being a prostitute, had her phone taken and scanned, and released.

Megalomaniacs burn it all down & take everyone with them when they go.
