Yes still 'Democratic' on paper

but that is assuming the people believe it Democracy and not some form of Kleptocracy circus clownish show, Technocracy, Matriarch neo-feminist system, SJW identity politics BLM system, Neo World Corporation, Oligarch, Plutocracy, Pedocracy etc

Have they burnt and destroyed all Amendments yet or is the United States a Constitutional Republic?

not sure about the next 10 years

Read a book.

There is no Election for President before then.
So, no.

All that can be tried is a red wave in November to stem the tide of Libtard Fraud. But still too many pockets of corrupt Libtards to return to a Constitutionally democratic Republic.

ETA: did you read the article? It advocates even more Libtard Fraud, even less Democracy, Freedom, Constitution.
I did not know American Prospect was Libtardism Amok.

Now that Trump has been elected a third time, America is at least back on track.
The illegitimate Senators from the 2020 Election Steal are still festering until 2027, and the Fake Census corruption will remain malignant until 2033.

Until then we remain in Unconstitutional territory.

Well... I did just sacrifice my health insurance officially for this now.

They'd better keep doing all the right things going forward elsewhere, because Republicans just brought the Democratic Party right back to life with this bill once people realize what was in it.

Republicans always find the quickest and easiest way to fuck themselves.

Good job. Well done.

You are so wrong. When do the cuts to medicaid start? After, not before, the next election in November of 2026. That means most Trumptards will feel nothing changed for the worse because of that time delay Trump added to the Big Beautiful Bill: "The cuts to Medicaid will be phased in over several years, with the biggest changes coming into effect in 2027 and beyond. Specifically, some states will begin implementing Medicaid work requirements as early as January 2027." https://www.google.com/search?q=when+do+the+cuts+to+medicaid+start

On the other hand, I get a tax cut designed to benefit the wealthy immediately. Reduced taxes are my consolation prize, even though I did not vote for Trump.

When you add in the fact that Trump fired the IRS auditors who look at the tax returns filed by the wealthy, there are brand-new opportunities to cheat on taxes without being caught.

Signym, Trump is delivering your priority. Your priority FROM YESTERDAY! was

How will Trump be delivering Signym's priority? Like this:

Trump now has $1 trillion — with a T — to spend on defense. Pete Hegseth, Trump’s secretary of defense, recently testified before Congress and described how national defense, under Trump, is transitioning from a force fighting foreign threats into a “domestic affair”:

“I think we’re entering another phase, especially under President Trump, with his focus on the homeland, where the National Guard and Reserves become a critical component of how we secure that homeland.”

Juxtapose that promise with Trump telling reporters the worst threat to national security is “the enemy within,” ie, Democrats, independents, and Republicans who don’t support him, and it all comes into view. Pan wide for Trump’s new gulag agenda:

The bill also provides $45 billion to build new immigration detention centers, a 265 percent annual increase to ICE’s detention budget. This funding level is a 62 percent larger budget than the entire federal prison system, where 155,933 inmates are currently incarcerated.

Signym, with a little patience, you will soon see that Trump is delivering your priority.

Trump’s war against immigrants

July 5, 2025

https://attentiontotheunseen.com/2025/07/05/trumps-war-against-immigra
nts-threatens-the-freedom-of-all-americans/

The tactics of the Trump administration’s immigration agenda have shifted from time to time, but the broader objective has remained consistent: to deport as many people as possible and, more broadly, to transform the restrictions and reach of America’s immigration system.

President Trump and members of his administration believe they have a democratic mandate to do this. Their ultimate fear is that outsiders pose a danger to American values — the threat of not just taking our jobs or becoming welfare scroungers but also transforming our society into something different. “America First” means not so much putting Americans first as putting a distinct idea of America and American values first.

Yet the danger to those American values comes not from immigration itself but from immigration control. You cannot control outsiders (immigrants or would-be immigrants) without controlling insiders (citizens). The more vigorously you try to control immigration, the more you end up limiting the freedom of your citizens and violating equality and the rule of law.

This isn’t hypothetical. As Hiroshi Motomura and others have noted, during the Great Depression and in the years following World War II, an estimated two million people were forced to leave the United States. Astonishingly, more than half were American citizens, mostly people who were (or were suspected of being) Mexican. They were blamed for taking jobs and public resources and were deported or self-deported under intense pressure from authorities after targeted raids on neighborhoods.

This number does not include the many others who were wrongfully arrested, detained or incarcerated, often for days and weeks and sometimes for months or years, by the U.S. government. Nor does it include the many immigrants who were legal residents and were wrongly deported.

These statistics do not tell the whole story. To understand how immigration control undermines freedom — and the fundamental values not just of America but of most Western democracies — we need to look deeper.

The popular image of immigration control is border security, but there is more to immigration control than that. Governments everywhere encourage people to cross their borders and enter their countries. The U.S. National Travel and Tourism Office strategy aims to have 90 million annual international visitors — tourists, students, athletes, business travelers, transport workers — by 2027.

Immigration control is not necessarily about restricting entry but about controlling what those who enter do: determining whether they can work, study, reside, buy property, open bank accounts, set up businesses or marry. This is a challenge because many citizens are all too ready to employ outsiders, admit them to schools and universities, sell to them, buy from them or fall in love with them — in short, welcome them.

The only way for a government to prevent this from happening is to control its citizens by limiting their freedom to live as they choose. This means citizens must be controlled with penalties or punishments: fines, imprisonment or violence. They must be inspected, monitored, scolded, threatened and made to be fearful of finding themselves in violation of the law and at risk of being punished.

Citizens will challenge the laws, find ways around them or even violate them if the law limits their freedom to hire, teach, befriend or welcome whomever they choose.

To overpower citizens, governments will have to spend more money — on courts, judges, lawyers, prisons, the police and compensation payments — or find ways around their laws (or both).

In 2016 Denmark criminalized any act that could be viewed as helping asylum seekers, leading to hundreds of Danes being prosecuted for giving strangers a lift or buying them a cup of coffee.

The British government decided over a decade ago that to control movement, it needed to create a hostile environment for immigrants. But what this did was create a climate of fear for citizens, most notably for those who might be mistaken for immigrants. When “Go home” vans began touring selected places in Britain in 2013, many citizens had to ask themselves: How do I prove I am a citizen in my own country?

The question applies to everyone: To control immigration, how much control over our lives should we be ready to accept?

If you're a citizen, you have already been required to learn English. English is the official language of the USA by Executive Order.

People who don't speak a lick of English are gonna have a hard time convincing anyone that they belong here. So if you belong here, or even if you don't, stop being so lazy and brush up on those English skills.

Green card holders, foreign visitors with visas, etc ... they have papers.

And if you're really paranoid about being swept up, there's Real ID driver's licenses.

People can befriend and even fall in love with whoever they want, they just can't hire them.

Seems reasonable.

Oh, and your previous post? Hysterical paranoia. Your reputation for propaganda, unfortunately for you, tarnishes everything you post.

Donald Trump is much tougher on the border, Trump signed order making English the official language but this goes in contrast to other Presidents of the USA senile Reagan, senile Biden, Bush senior, Clinton, Bush junior, Obama, Kamala who all seemed to have their own loose interpretation of immigration

As far as learning english. Do you want to go back to some kind of residential school system? Trump has started building is whatever you want to call them. Will ICE be given the powers to rip children out of their homes to force them into a school to learn English. And oh lets not mention the loss of their cultures if they are denied contact with parents.

I've known at least a half a dozen families over the years were one of the parents learned english for just conversing or for work. The children basically grew up bilingual. The grandparents not so much.

Since when has Trump started to build residential schools? LINKS PLEASE.

So AFA "ripping children from their parents" ... that's not gonna happen. Since kids are supposed to go to school, instead of coddling non-English speakers with bilingual instruction, take 6 months for total immersion in English.

Hubby was tossed into grade school knowing only Hungarian (and there are NO common root words between Hungarian and any of the European languages or English, bc it has completely different roots). There was nobody to translate for him, no "bilingual" anything bc who the fuck speaks Hungarian? He had to teach himself. If he can learn English, anyone can.

And also ... IF YOU WANT TO BE A CITIZEN OF THE USA, LEARNING ENGLISH IS A REQUIREMENT.

It's different if you're a citizen, so to speak, of a native nation.
