For a long time I never understood why the free press would so willingly usher in fascism. Then I realized that you don’t need a free press to make money selling the “news”in a fascist state…you just need to be favored.
I think too many of these types have no idea what fascism will really be like The likes of Musk etc don't imagine they will ever be an enemy of the state Its not news by now, but @Tesla board sets new lows for disregarding shareholder interests. Latest: @elonmusk working to elect Trump who openly scorns EVs & pledges to erase carrots & sticks Biden has put in place to promote EV adoption-which would benefit their shareholders.— Ronald Brownstein (@RonBrownstein) July 13, 2024
Pre-WW II Japan didn't have any regulations on the press. The newspapers were all completely gung-ho about the authoritarian government and had no problems.
I'd be surprised if CNN wasn't "debating" the "merits" of Project 2025 given their management the past several years.
CNN has actually been bringing attention to it for a while now. When you consider who their main hosts are, including gay men, black women & Jewish men, they know they are in the firing line (literally) if the felonious fascist wins. People who don't watch CNN or read the website on a regular basis might not be aware of how CNN has talked about it, but they have and it is always in a negative way.
whoa... Gunshots reportedly fired at Donald Trump rally - as former president rushed off stage | US News | Sky News
On the one hand, there's no place for political violence in this country. On the other, I've got a bottle of champagne that is chilled and ready.
i love Longwells focus groups because you get to hear what voters actually say. it’s not quantitative of course
That was the first thing I thought. Now looking at the sloppiness of the shooter and how he is now dead so can't tell us anything. Then the witness comments on the sloppiness of security? I mean who stops for a photo op while being shot at unless you don't believe it's for you. Plus the last time secret service has to rush the stage, he looked like little soft cock!! It just makes too much sense!
Thoughts and prayers!!! Hate when that happens! A MAGA fan in Iowa burned down his house trying to burn a gay pride flaghttps://t.co/R6cZWb3Xd6— The Halfway Post (@HalfwayPost) July 16, 2024
I don't think anybody burned down their house in Iowa. From the link: https://dashmacintyre.medium.com/a-...-trying-to-burn-a-gay-pride-flag-17ba60767283 The MAGA fan in Iowa who accidentally burned down his house yesterday trying to burn a gay pride flag today set his truck on fire trying to burn a DVD of Brokeback Mountain. Elsewhere on the page. . . Steve Bannon has reportedly decided to pledge to the Aryan Brotherhood for his prison protection. Donald Trump says he’s going to prosecute Mike Pence for the crime of “being a pussy” if he gets reelected. Annoyed Mar-a-Lago members say Donald Trump isn’t even trying to hide his cheating at golf anymore since his criminal conviction.
Snopes.com declares it "Mostly False" on the grounds that he pledged the Aryan Brotherhood decades ago.
My rule has always been to assume most Republicans are in the closet. Or are low key kinky but ashamed of it.
