This now looks to be the norm in America which would make America a fascist state.
As a non American, I will not be visiting America again anytime soon.
It's just too risky.
Remember Jan 6? You ain't seen nuthin' yet.
I really hope I'm wrong, but somehow I don't think so.

'I'm sorry I can't talk now but I could See You Next Tuesday' would have been an appropriate response.

What is it with America's apparent obsession with wanting to jail or execute political opponents?
This is not indicative of a healthy democracy.
It looks more like a country on the brink of something horrifying.

Typical conservative. Only an issue when it affects them personally, then it's non-stop wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Let me get this straight, Trump is threatening to sue a media outlet from a foreign country that still has a free media?
Good luck with that one d*ckhead.
Reality aside, this is all about creating an excuse to block a popular independent news source in the US.

Nailed it.
No way UK and the rest of 5 eyes would compromise their own security by sharing sensitive intelligence with a regime that repeatedly demonstrates they can't be trusted.
Just because they keep sharing intelligence doesn't mean they share ALL intelligence.
They're not stupid

Wouldn't have stopped sharing intelligence but certainly would have started being selective about what intelligence was shared.

What on earth makes Americans think that 5 eyes has only just started restricting shared intelligence?
You can take it to the bank this would have started the first time Trump and his regime demonstrated they couldn't be trusted.
So day one basically.
