US Pauses Visas for 75 Countries; Revoked 100,000 Visas

The US State Department is pausing immigrant visa processing for 75 countries, marking one of the most sweeping moves yet in Donald Trump's renewed immigration crackdown. USSECSTATE Marco Rubio already revoked more than 100,000 visas, including 8,000 student visas, of people who have had "encounters with law enforcement" since Donald Trump returned to office.

The diabolical Trumpf junta will freeze visa processing indefinitely for applicants from countries including Somalia, Russia, Afghanistan, Brazil, Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Nigeria, Thailand, and Yemen. The US State Department did not immediately clarify if non-immigrant visas, such as for tourism and business, would be affected.

Assistant Secretary of State for Consular Affairs good-for-nothing Mora Namdar, daughter of wealthy Iranian emigres and owner of a mini-chain of beauty salons in Texas, directed consular officers to refuse visa applications until screening and vetting procedures are reassessed.

The pause goes into effect on 21 January. Older or overweight applicants could be denied, along with those who had any past use of government cash assistance or institutionalization.

"The State Department will use its long-standing authority to deem ineligible potential immigrants who would become a public charge on the US and exploit the generosity of the American people," State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott bleated.


The picture-perfect definition of an Empty Suit,' the inter-galactically vapid and strictly unimaginative Marco Rubio was vetted for his position as USSECSTATE based on his loyalty to Israel by none other than mega-oligarch Larry Ellison:
Marco Rubio Loyalty to Israel More Important Than to the American Taxpayer

Besides dismantling USAID in 2025, in 2015 as a Republican Senator from Florida, Marco Rubella undermined the ACA ("Obamacare") by subtly adding corrosive riders to the bill. Years from now this hologram will enjoy a magnificent federal pension combining all of his years as a good-for-no-one US Senator and USSECSTATE. The thought of that is enough to make one retch.

Rubio is a Turd.

Absolutely a Trump Asslicker and little else.

No original ideas,and even if he did have any he would jettison them immediately if Trump disapproved.

I have never seen such a lickspittle at work. The Joachim Von Ribbentropp of the modern age.

Even Von Ribbentropp had more Independence of Mind.

SAD.

Rubio knows Trump is a shit show. You can see it in their pictures together. Marco looks haunted.

And on TV, Hillbilly Hypocrite JD Vance referred to this sycophant "...and our great Secretary of State, Marco Rubio..." as if he's a reincarnation of Thomas Jefferson, George C. Marshall, or Dr Henry Kissinger.

Hah!

This merdivore's litany of blasphemies is lengthy:

~Undermined Obamacare in 2015
~Expedited $4bn of hardworking American taxpayer funds to the IDF in March 2025 to help their ethnic cleansing of Palestinians
~Dismantled JFK's USAID
~Dimed out informants to the tinpot dictator of El Salvador so he could imprison our migrants at CECOT
~Took down the US State Dept web portal to report war crimes
~Fired seasoned diplomats and recalled Ambassadors not loyal enough to MAGA
~Pushed for Christianity globally and in the State Dept, but didn't give a darn about Palestinian or Ukrainian Christians getting killed
~Worked with CIA to undermine and destabilize Venezuela, leading to the unlawful abduction Nicolas Maduro
~Delegated highly-trained and well-paid DSS Special Agents from the domestic offices to augment brutal ICE operations
~Constantly prevaricates to the media and the US Congress about Trumpf's intentions
~Lickspittle to mega-oligarch Larry Ellison and ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu
~Does nothing but serve as an office decoration while Trumpf insiders Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are the "Special Enjoys"

Simply put, Marco Rubio is just a shallow, faux Christian who is a willing accomplice of the warmongering Trumpf junta.

Hideous. Stomach-churning hideous.
