U.S. could lose democracy status, says global watchdog
https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/trump-democracy-report-1.7486317

No wonder Trump is allying with China and Russia. Donald’s interview with FOX News was pretty interesting. He says he gets along fabulously with Putin and Xi and wants to ally with the “super three countries” to take/plunder and divide the world amongst themselves.

What a disgusting lunatic, and a disgusting country that enables him.

Those supporting the American status quo of widespread government corruption, dilution of sovereignty, empowerment of social toxicity, and a financial downward spiral, gleefully point out all the ways America is suddenly “failing”.

The weakness in this is how all their examples show how Trump is succeeding in doing what he won the popular vote to do.

Eurotards are angry because America walks away from their stupidity? Good.

Ukraine will fail because American tax money will stay in America? Not our problem.

The third world crying with empty hands? Fantastic. Now help yourself.

Asia frets over a trade war? Free ride is over.

Canada whines about being treated without respect? Earn it, for a change.

Trannies upset becasue they can’t recruit kids into their religion. Boo hoo.

Illegal aliens yell about their human right to sponge off the American taxpayer. Die in a fire.

Corrupt bullshìt organization clutch their pearls and cry about the end of American democracy? I can only hope you really believe that and are truly experiencing the mental trauma you are acting out.

So far, every complaint from the left is not a concern.

Nice list Chickenhead. Except you forgot few more.

Maggot zombies who thought they were on top of the chain, finding out they won’t have any retirement pension, healthcare, welfare, and education. Project 2025 will defund Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, and education. But these “Christian” maggots from all the southern states were the greatest leeches when it came to taking advantage of programs that would soon disappear. Yet, they were the greatest whiners when it came to ‘illegals and DEI’s’ taking advantage of America. No more handouts to you hypocrites. And don’t rely on FEMA to help rebuild your homes when natural disasters strike in your disaster-prone zone states. You’re all on your own now. Thank your cult leader for that.

America, how much more petty can you get?

The world travel advisories against fascist America.

https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/foreign-travel-warnings-about-us-travel.html

If you’re gay, transgender, and foreign, even if you have legal papers, they may arrest you and lock you up in one of their privately run for-profit concentration camps. You will have no legal courses including arbitrary arrests, no legal counseling, no trials, and just disappear like in the old Nazi Germany. Even having legal documents like tourist and business visas will do you no good. Don’t go there, it’s one giant prison camp.

That’s the state of the United States now. But if the Nazi sect of the Maga movement has its way, soon there will be arrests of US citizens with wrong political beliefs, wrong race, and wrong sexual orientations, who will also be arrested and confined to concentration camps somewhere in Cuba or South America. When Zombies rule, there is no rule of law. It’s the 17th century might is right primitivity that has a button to nuclear weapons which scares me the most.

Dear tourists: Come to America! You might win a free trip to El Salvador! | Opinion
https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnist/2025/03/17/trump-ice-detaining-tourists-alien-enemies-act/82408394007/

We here at the U.S. National Travel and Tourism Office are proud to announce our new slogan: ‘Come to America! There’s only a small chance you’ll be detained indefinitely
Greetings, international tourists. I’m here to persuade you to ignore the fake news media and spend your vacation time this year in MAGAmerica, formally known as “America.”

Under the stunning leadership of President/King Donald Trump and his billionaire regional manager Elon Musk, the United States has been transformed from a violent and deteriorating third-world nation to the greatest place on earth. (Please note: “greatest place on earth” does not apply to people who say bad things about Teslas.)

In honor of the return of American exceptionalism, we here at the U.S. National Travel and Tourism Office are proud to announce our new slogan: “Come to America! There’s only a small chance you’ll be detained indefinitely!”

Are fewer foreign travelers coming to the US? Only if you believe ‘data.’
We have, of course, seen the reports that fewer Canadians are traveling to America, despite President Trump’s gentle trade war and generous offer/threat to annex their country. U.S. data showed a nearly 13% drop in Canadians crossing into our country in February compared with last year, but the Trump administration is working to swiftly eliminate Marxist “data” like that, so we’re not concerned.

And yes, we saw research firm Tourism Economics’ recent estimate that international “inbound travel to the US is projected to decline by 15.2% compared to baseline projections,” which will result in “a $22 billion annual loss” in inbound travel spending. 

But again, those are “words” and “numbers,” and President Trump has made it abundantly clear those are illegal unless he likes them.

Consider all MAGAmerica has to offer foreign travelers
So forget that silly nonsense and think about what MAGAmerica has to offer you, the fabulous foreign traveler.

For starters, there are our beautiful national parks, which will be less crowded this year thanks to Mr. Musk firing about 1,000 U.S. National Park Service employees. No more bothersome “park rangers” telling you woke stuff like “please stay on the path so you don’t destroy delicate ecosystems” and “please don’t pee in Old Faithful.”

President Trump welcomes you to bring your own four-wheeler, do some off-roading in Grand Teton National Park and even drill for oil if you want to. (Please note: If you find oil, it belongs to President Trump or one of his sons.)

But it’s not just the natural parks or the numerous Trump-owned properties you will be required to stay at. International visitors coming to America this year could win … a free trip to El Salvador!

President Trump is generously sending a select few on a trip to El Salvador!
Depending on your accent and the color of your skin, agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement could deem you a foreign gang member and then use the Alien Enemies Act to ship you off for a free stay at an El Salvadoran fitness facility, something the liberals lamely call “a labor camp.”

Just this weekend, the Trump administration grabbed more than 200 lucky “suspected” gang members and, without evidence and in violation of a court order, shipped them off to sunny El Salvador. You and your family could be next!

While only a select number of lucky visitors will receive what we’re calling “the El Salvador package,” every foreign tourist will get to experience America’s new-and-improved First Amendment, which gives all people the right to speak freely, as long as they aren’t critical of President Trump and don’t engage in the kind of protected free speech that makes Mr. Musk angry or sad.

Is it possible you could be “arrested and interrogated” if you violate the new First Amendment? Sure. But there’s little chance of that happening as long as you keep your foreign opinions to yourself and just enjoy the inordinate number of national park bears eating out of overflowing trash cans.
Don’t forget to honor our great President Trump by purchasing merch!And don’t forget, no visit to MAGAmerica would be complete without paying tribute to … sorry … we mean “picking up some souvenirs” from one of the official Trump merchandise stores that will soon be located at every airport and border crossing and rest stop and gas station.

So don’t delay. Make America your vacation destination in 2025. The chances of indefinite detention are totally slim!

(Also, please bring your own eggs. We don’t have those anymore.)

From KM’s link. These are the “travel advisory changes” foreign travelers should “worry about” (bolding added for emphasis):
“The United Kingdom updated its foreign travel advice for the U.S. on Mar. 15, recommending visitors comply with U.S. authorities, which “set and enforce entry rules strictly” and warning, “You may be liable to arrest or detention if you break the rules.” An archived version of the webpage from Feb. 1 shows the guidance had previously said: “The authorities in the U.S. set and enforce entry rules” with no mention of arrest or detention.
Germany’s Federal Foreign Office updated its website Tuesday, advising travelers that even having a valid authorization permit or U.S. visa doesn’t guarantee the right to enter the country and, if refused, “there is no legal recourse against this decision.” A new paragraph warns: “Criminal records in the United States, false information about the purpose of their stay, or even a slight overstay of their visa upon entry or exit can lead to arrest, detention, and deportation.”

IOW, anyone (including criminals and/or potential terrorists) had free access to travel to the US before, and could break the rules with relative impunity under Biden. Note to them: don’t think you can do that now.

It doesn’t matter if you break the rule or not. If they don’t like you for whatever reason, they can arrest you and put you away in profit-for-money prison camps indefinitely without a charge. There is no legal course since ICE is the enforcer and the judge – that is the problem. Now try to argue that Liz.

Foreign Europeans with valid visas, have their phones searched by ICE who find criticism of the Trump administration, so they’re arrested, chained and bound, and thrown into prisons with no proper facilities for humane treatment. This is worse than North Korea and China. In North Korea and China, they’re not arresting and torturing foreign visitors.

Speaking of Canada, what is this obsession of a lunatic with bashing Canada about taking its land and resources?

https://newrepublic.com/article/192953/transcript-trump-seethes-canada-the-eyes-predator

Canada doesn’t belong to you people. I saw Trump’s FOX interview on this topic, and he was ranting and raving with large sharp fangs, saliva drip drooling down his growling wolfish angry orange face… he is clearly sick. And he has the codes to the nuclear missiles. The only way I describe this mass cult movement is that this is another Jim Jones mass suicide cult. But this time it’s the entire freaking country called the US that’s going to take the world with them when they kill themselves.

“…he (Trump) is clearly sick. And he has the codes to the nuclear missiles. ”

You can tell that Trump is a lot more talk than action.

With tools like that at his disposal, he wouldn’t have to take out more than 2 or 3 population centeres (French ones, of course) before the rest of Canada started asking what America wants their state anthem to be.

But we know “Canada as a state” is all sillytalk. Only the libbiest of libtards take it seriously.

Canadians have not shown themselves to be responsible voters and there is no way they will be allowed to influece real elections.

They need a legal status somewhere between Guam and Afghanistan. Give them a couple of non-voting congressmen so they can remind the American public what whiners the Canadians are. And we can remind them to be grateful and not get any crazy ideas.

America isn’t going to play Red Dawn in the Great White North. We will just carpet bomb the grid square with bombs we aren’t sending to Ukraine.

America will maintain a containment policy on Canada more than an occupation. Vichy Canada will take care of daily administration and be responsible for checking off the enemies list.

Bonus thought: You can see why you need the tard to make the libtard. They should be pushing for Canada to be brought into America as at least 13 voting states. But they don’t think that far ahead. All they know is “but Trump”.

“But did Trump get approval from Putin for that though?”

The ‘Trump is an asset of Putin’ is pretty worn out.

“Your country is a mixture of a complete laughing stock joke and a reviled crazy shithole.”

Oddly, that comes the loudes from those who also express the most fear of America. All the laughter seems to be whistling past the graveyard.

“You deserve what’s coming for you people.”

Greenland, for a start.

“Why not go after Russia, which is not communist but the same dictatorship BTW, and like China threatens the world order?”

Russia is not a dictatorship. Russia has elections, arguably more honest than America: 2020, and Putin has public support at a level other world leaders can only dream about… currently 88% approval.

Russia does not have the economic power to compete with America on a global level.

“Putin supports the MAGA and Setnaffarian anti-woke agenda, as such Putin to them is untouchable.”

There is zero shame in not making enemies with those who share your outlook and interests. Putin shares MAGA’s anti-globalist agenda. Putin is not an economic or geopolitical threat to America. China also shares MAGA’s anti-globalist agenda but is competition with America.

Russia spends a few hundred thousand dollars to see how much influence they can cause in a billion-dollar election with zero expectation of having any influence. China is involved deeply in sabotaging American social policy, damaging America’s influence, and guiding bought politicians

“Maybe Xi should take a page out of Putin’s playbook and make anti-woke statements?”

China has no need to make anti-woke statements. The Chinese are well aware what will happen to them if they start trying to introduce woke.

Here is a lazy cut & paste from Wikipedia about our favorite imposter-Somalian.

The first day of his trial commenced on March 7, 2025. Ismael arrived an hour late, citing a stomachache. He attempted to enter the courtroom wearing a MAGA hat, but was prevented from doing so by the courtroom rules.[56] During the trial, Ismael’s incident of spilling ramyeon noodle soup on a table at a convenience store in Mapo-gu was charged as an obstruction of business. He was also charged for causing discomfort by approaching pedestrians in Mapo-gu with a bag of rotten fish, and disturbing commuters on a bus and subway, by playing loud music and dancing, together constituting two violations of the Minor Crimes Act. He plead guilty to three charges (1 obstruction of business and 2 Minor Crimes Act violations). The next trial date is scheduled April 9.[9][57][56]

Professor Seo Kyoung-Duk of Sungshin Women’s University called for a strong sentence because of Ismael’s actions and comments to discourage others from engaging in similar behavior.[58] Korean legal experts say that if sentenced Ismael will likely serve a sentence in Korea, then be deported, followed by an entry ban.[59]

What a total screw up

A total screw up, or negligence and incompetence? I say it’s the latter.

That’s what you get when you hire DEI people (white right-wing Trump loyalists) who are incompetent, inexperienced, and unqualified, to very important positions like the national defense and intelligence.

I mean, how stupid would you have to be to use a commercial social media application to discuss classified military information that would risk the lives of your soldiers? I know that most governments of the world have their own highly secured private networks to communicate classified information – you never use public networks to discuss classified national security information.

The amount of lies that the Trump people told under oath… claiming that they didn’t leak any classified information, and the amount of propaganda that the FOX News channel spewed out, trying to excuse the Trump administration, was just absolutely insane. I mean, the US is supposed to be the world’s most powerful superpower. But all they did was try to blame other people, tell lies after lies, it’s fcking pathetic. They even tried to blame the Atlantic Journal editor for somehow, “tricking” them to add his contact information to their chat group. So now Daddy Musk is “investigating” how the Magazine editor was added to the chat group… lol… are you serious?? Ya right.. he was added by one of the stupid idiots in the chat group… there’s no mystery here. lol….

The US is a pathetic joke. Russia already had all the information, since those clowns already leaked all the information. Just watch… next…. who the Trump officials will blame next if a big terrorist or a military attack happens somewhere and a lot of Americans will get killed because of their incompetence. I’m sure they’ll never own up to their incompetence and mistakes. All they know how to do is blame other people – like the illegal migrants.

“and now that the Atlantic has published the entire text, they’re backtracking and using the “I don’t recall” excuses.”

Interesting take, because my perspective is almost reversed. Before they released the text I was more concerned. The claim was that classified “war plan” material was discussed. The Atlantic has now admitted that the Signal chat did not discuss “War Plans”.
It doesn’t surprise me that Tulsi could not reliably remember everything discussed.
There doesn’t appear to be any classified matter discussed.
It’s not a good look for sure, and I’m of the opinion someone should be replaced. If this was approved by the legal team I’d start there.

I know the right is going to spin this the way they want and they already are but regardless of politics, this was a blatant show of incompetence. And they know they screwed up and that’s why they’re lying under oath. You know they’re lying, I know they’re lying, and so does everyone else. Sorry, there’s no way to spin this one. I know Chickenhead who’s never been in the military will try his best but again, this was a total debacle from start to finish. Nobody is willing to be an adult and say, “Ok, we screwed up, we know we were wrong.” Nope, it’s all gaslighting, lying, and deflecting.

This is what happens when you have crazy loons in the leadership government. You have that former transvestite wannabe – JD Vance (just look at his constantly deepening eyeliner makeups). Is he a closeted gay or what? Then there’s the ultra-Christian, speaker of the house, Mike Johnson – another closeted gay who lives with another Christian right gay. Johnson proclaims that God speaks to him, when at the same time he’s all for rolling back civil rights like anti segregation laws. Why are American Christian-right-wing so racist and so hateful? Shouldn’t they do what Jesus did, which is to stick up for the people who are weak and vulnerable? And then there’s Sec of Defense, Pete Hegseth – the womanizing child sex loudmouth drunkard who was a former FOX News host….lol…. the list goes on and on….

The US government is completely corrupt, one of the worst corrupt regimes in the world, unmatched by any other corrupt country. The scale of grift, financial theft, closeted homosexuality, hypocrisy, lying, hatred for other races/sexual orientation, and collusion is unparalleled.

Florida is even rolling back the law banning child labor, just to replace all the missing migrant labor. This is going back to 19th century US. What’s next, bring back the law prohibiting women from voting?

What other classified information have they been leaking that we don’t know about, using that commercial app on a public network? That’s the unknown.

Atlantic only revealed this classified information well after the attack on the Houthis was already over, and after that group of liars lied under oath. So no real damage was done, other than to that group of liars.

Are there some sort of accusations against the members of the group who were doing their jobs and not responsible for inviting the journalist? If not, bringing them into the conversation dilutes the message and takes focus away from solving problems.

These days, using (end-to-end encrypted) commercial apps on a public network has become normalized with the American government. It is the best way to communicate efficiently.

I share concerns that it does not properly keep records of American government actions… but those concerns were dismissed when it was the Biden administration doing this.

I also have concerns, now demonstrated, that user lists should be isolated from oneanother to keep this exact thing from happening.

As for “And this probably isn’t the only example. What other classified information have they been leaking that we don’t know about, using that commercial app on a public network? That’s the unknown.”

Keep going! You almost have it.

If it “probably” isn’t the only example, then it really puts the Atlantic in a poor light. In the other examples, those involved put America first.

But not the Atlantic.

It seems the Trump MAGA people wanted to leak the plans for attacking Yemen to the Chinese and the Russians.

However they didn’t want to get implicated and thus invited a reporter in the hopes that he would leak the information for them.

The Trump MAGA/Setnaffarian crowd as we all know are more concerned about eliminating wokeness and if it means selling out their country to China and Russia to attain that goal, so be it.

Not surprising considering that treason is in the blood of the Trump MAGA and the Setnaffarians.

Step 1: Have war meeting.

Step 2: “accidently” invite a horrible anti-American loudmouth to your meeting.

Step 3: Through him, leak your plans to China and Russia.

Step 4: ???

Of interest:

The Atlantic’s claim: Jeffrey Goldberg, inadvertently added to the Signal chat, reported that the group discussed timing of attacks, types of aircraft and missiles, and the sequence of operations against Houthi targets in Yemen. While not explicitly stating unit names or coordinates, the descriptions were detailed enough to raise concerns about operational security.

Pete Hegseth’s defense: He posted on X that the leaked messages included no names, no targets, no units, no routes, no sources, no methods, and no classified information—dismissing the entire situation as overblown and sarcastically calling them “really shitty war plans.”

What is the truth?

“What is the truth?”

Everyone can judge for themselves with the chat published in its entirety. Read someone suggest the contact was probably there from Waltz’s days on the Hill. And also the last names begin with G – Gabbard and Goldberg. So he may have fat-fingered the addition to the group chat.

In the future, I hope they will require some double authentication method. As it is doubtful that Mr. Goldberg has a CAC, requiring a CAC login isn’t a burdensome verification method. Not really sure why our Secretary of Defense needed to tell everyone details in this group chat anyway (which was the only questionable portion). I know Mike would never make this mistake. I’m sure Trump is disappointed after all the work it took to get Hegeseth confirmed, this just feeds the opposition. Yes, of course what Hillary did was 100000+ percent worse. She used an unsecure personal server to conduct state department business for years…and then bleach bit everything after subpoena. And yes, the liberals by and large all said it was just fine with them. That doesn’t mean everyone else in positions of public trust can play loose with security information into perpetuity. We know what happens to military people who are lax with security.
