Obviously she’s been framed by the deep state, hopefully Donald Trump can do something about it.

I wouldn’t celebrate so quickly.
Like all the lawsuits against Trump, this will just persuade her supporters that the establishment is using the law to stop her winning the presidential election, and adding on extra penalties that don’t normally apply to other people - like the immediate ban on her standing for election, even while she’s appealing.
I’d like to be wrong but I don’t think I am.

No, it’s my first thought too any time any of these far right shitheads gets caught for anything.

That exactly what my Mrs said and she certainly understands French politics better than all of us haha

The US government admits they deported a man because of an administrative error, despite them having protection from removal! They are saying they messed up but now it’s out of their hands as he is no longer a citizen and they have no jurisdiction to get him back from El Salvador!
He is a father of a 5 year old disabled child, no criminal record in America.
This is because Trump has done away with the right to due process when kidnapping people off the street!

I’m going to NY / Boston next month, I really do not want to go to America. So unbelievably low on my list.

Same. Had flights for a PNW trip in September, but have decided to cancel.

I’d go. You don’t have to like the current president to enjoy a stay in the US. New York is an amazing place. Couple of good skateparks there too.

I have an Islamic-sounding surname, which has meant that every time I’ve flown to the US in the last 15-ish years I’ve been ā€œrandomlyā€ selected for a bit of extra questioning when boarding and alighting, about an hour or so of stress each time. There’s no way I’d even try it now, I’d be scared of getting locked up for weeks then deported.
I have an uncle who’s lived in California for 50 years, full green card etc etc, and he’s been too scared to leave the US for years because he doesn’t think they’d let him back in.
Basically, fuck the place, there are plenty of other holiday spots in the world

This happened to this woman in a village by me:

I don’t think anyone travelling on simple ESTA would have a problem but yeah…fuck that place for a while

This should be the biggest scandal yet…but it will just be a bit of flash in the pan outrage and then the world will move on.

Has anything at all happened from the Signal group chat shit? No. Fuck all.

Was working in Connecticut and NY earlier this year. Most people were totally normal and decent to spend time with.

Visited some family in Florida last year, most people were insane and kept talking about immigrants eating pets.

Still worth a visit but its shine is fading, America was everything when I was a kid.

Yer I’m going to see family from Connecticut (all Democrats, normal human beings) but don’t know their extended friends.

Its more things like, oh they are gunna spot check peoples phones to see if they have been slagging the Donald off on the way in at the airport.

I don’t want to contribute to their economy at all.
