Politics 🤡 Donald Trump

[Worried2Death]

Now that we're seeing AN ACTUAL ALL OUT ASSAULT ON FREE SPEECH around the western world, instead of some faux culture war, also created, manufactured and sustained by the same groups conducting THE ACTUAL ALL OUT ASSUALT ON FREE SPEECH - where's all the former defenders of free speech on here?

Any of you pizzagate putin fans? Anyone?

Putin has won. Next come the show trials.

Look at the reason and the kowtowing to Trump. Disingenuous as always Frank

It's just corporate virtue signalling though. Just a coincidence.

Bit like the sudden anti free speech on the right. Turns out no one on the right wants any kind of speech other than their own poison.

Truly an age of fascism

@Drake_83 Did you work out what fascist and tyrannical regimes do yet?
Here's one clue - they interfere in media to control narratives and suppress dissent.

Of course it is. They are signaling to the Trump administration just as they did to the Biden one. Kimmel wasn't arrested or detained or disappeared, the private company that employs him, suspended his show.

Now you can argue all sorts of inferences from that, but its not a first amendment issue. Kimmel is still free to extoll his speech. He can get a mic and a boombox and stand on Crenshaw Blvd if he wants.

Like during COVID?

I see there's a new mask mandate in Aussie hospitals because of the measles outbreak. Another victory for Russian Active Measures.

They must have moved on from their Samoan operation

Also you have a source for this? First I'm hearing

Merely an operational field test on a population susceptible to Jesus freckles.

Governments of the world communicating health policy during a global pandemic

or Trump being butt hurt about some mild satire and using the weight of government against one broadcaster.

Don't go all cooker now.

It was interference from a Trump appointment at the FCC that complained to Disney to get Kimmel stood down.

Fascism and Tyranny is suppressing opposing & dissenting voices.

This is not to mention the hefty media company mergers Trump has green light and eased through recently.

I never raised it was first amendment issue but it's an government integrity issue 100%

The US is becoming a joke.
What happened to the pro free speech anti cancel culture party.
Even worse when you compare it to the fact Brian Kilmeade gets to keep his job on Fox News after advocating for the killing of Homeless people.

Edit : This is what was said apparently.

I don’t agree with anyone getting cancelled because of their views. I HATE cancel culture.

Both side do it and people shouldn’t be silenced for their views.

For referencing a guy who made a living out of giving his view

Getting fired isnt a first amendment issue

The reason for the firing might well be though

We are in complete agreement for one of the few times.

Blaming Russian bots for division is BS.

During covid we personally faced mandates, losing jobs, not attending loved ones funerals, people stuck out of the country, etc.

Blaming Russian Bots is a diversion, laying the blame anywhere except reflecting on our own policies.

Lool no, it definitely isn’t. I implore you to at least have a cursory understanding of the American constitution in order to have a discussion about it.

Even if Trump DEMANDED that Kimmel be fired, that’s not a first amendment violation, because the parties to that are still Kimmel and his employer. Theres no punitive action by the executive branch.
