Hello Portland

[DeluxAuto]

Two mindless MAGA sheep emphatically endorse authoritarianism:

I think it's more obvious that they don't know what the word means rather than they endorse it

 

[DeluxAuto]

Authoritarians don't have to break the law to be authoritarian.

This this the part they are painfully struggling with.

 

[ll74]

This this the part they are painfully struggling with.

Yep. All Presidents in the modern era have skirted authoritarian lines, and the majority have stayed within the lines on most matters. This President has pushed the boundaries in every area of Executive authority and the only branch who has pushed back is the courts.

The Legislative has let them walk all over them and asked for more from dear leader.

I was in Portland this weekend. It’s amazing how I was able to visit shops, walk around, and have dinner out despite the “”seige by ANTIFA” it’s currently under. I did see one homeless guy arguing with a telephone poll though.

What was done was all done legally within the powers of the presidency.

Oh, and the Kimmel thing is bullshit you lying sack of shit, Kimmel is back on the air...............for now.

FCC never got involved.

Two mindless MAGA sheep emphatically endorse authoritarianism:

The first step in dictator/authoritarian rule is the suppression of free speech. No administration did it better than the Biden admin.

Trump's FCC never suppressed free speech, however, as recently as last week Google (one of many) admitted that the Biden admin coerced Google to remove info that conflicted with the disinformation campaign the Biden admin was spewing.

You don't have a clue as to how the FCC works. FCC regulates licensed programming in the public's interest. Kimmel's free speech rights were never denied, he was free to go elsewhere to spew his garbage, that being said, he's back.

You lack self awareness and are suffering from acute TDS.

You bring up an irrelevant matter with President Biden while accusing someone of having TDS.

You're in a fucking cult, traitor

Bullshit.
The FCC chair was literally on TV exerting its political power the day after the segment.

How many Executive Orders is the current administration up to now?

It's stupidity like the above statement that makes you a joke

And here we go again ....deflection.

Discussing the current administration and defaults to "but the last guy also did shit that's bad"

Either the behavior is bad or it's not.

That's irrelevant to the behavior of this administration who publicly exerted power to suppress free speech....and even though it was short lived, it worked.

You lack self awareness and are suffering from acute TDS.

You do suffer from TDS as well.....in the worst way.

Cato Institute on authoritarian action by Crooked Donnie:

The President’s List of Subversive Organizations

Here’s another fact: there is no “domestic terrorism” charge or statute, as I noted earlier this week in a piece discussing Trump’s “Antifa”-related executive order. But if you think that a direct legal basis for filing a charge against someone for being a member of a disfavored group or political belief is an actual obstacle to a prosecution, you would be gravely mistaken.

As I noted previously, what matters is that the administration asserts the authority to do this, and it has thousands of armed and armored federal law enforcement agents ready and able to carry out Trump’s orders. As law firms, universities, legal permanent resident holders, former government officials, two Members of Congress (one in the House, the other in the Senate), media organizations, and entertainers have all learned, you can be guilty of no federal crime and still be targeted for prosecution, expulsion from the country, job loss, or institutional destruction by this regime. Week by week and step by step, Mr. Trump is creating his own list of “subversive” organizations and persons.

Today, a reporter asked me whether we’d know when the country had reached a state of authoritarianism. My reply: “We’re already there.”

Trump's FCC never suppressed free speech,

Also the FCC: WE CAN DO THIS THE EASY EASY OR THE HARD WAY.

Brandon Carr said while wearing a gold lapel pin of trump's fat face.

 

[Bray123]

Jessy waters later apologized for his comments on bombing the UN. Waters has lost a ton of credibility with his comments.

No democrat has apologized for calling Trump a Nazis, fascist, or a threat to democracy, just the opposite, they doubled down. Democrats calling ICE Gestapo has lead to violence against them.

Has any MAGAT ever apologised for calling a Democrat a commie? or a Marxist? Or anti-American?

Did Trump ever apologise for posting that the only good Democrat was a dead Democrat? He told you to call Dems 'commies' and you all obeyed like good little simps.

The hypocrisy of MAGATs is outstanding. What a bunch of triggered snowflakes, demanding apologies. And Watters should have been fired immediately. Oh, he said sorry. That's OK then.

 

[icanhelp1]

Bullshit.
The FCC chair was literally on TV exerting its political power the day after the segment.

Carr's comments came after the Kimmel/suspension which would on its face indicate Kimmel's suspension was more of a business decision not a free speech issue. Was the FCC within its authority...YES

Because you don't like What Carr said doesn't make it illegal or a violation of free speech.

No action was ever taken. Any fines would have had to be deliberated by the FCC commission.

How many Executive Orders is the current administration up to now?

Don't care if there were a 1000. Dems fucking leftist nutwig lawyers and activist judges challenged most. Trump won many which just points out how frivolous those lawsuits were.

It's stupidity like the above statement that makes you a joke

Where were you when Biden suppressed free speech. In your mind it was OK because it was your team. You're a hypocrite and lack self awareness.

And here we go again ....deflection.

Pointing out democrat double standards is not deflection. As much as you would like to bury Biden's feckless administration, we won't.

Discussing the current administration and defaults to "but the last guy also did shit that's bad"

Don't criticize others for the same shit your party did. When allegations were made against Trump you could put money on the fact that democrats were actually doing what they accused others of.

Either the behavior is bad or it's not.

When the Kimmel incident happened it was actually in the open, you had a visual on what Carr was alluding to, it was very transparent. He also premised his comments that any fines dealt out would have to be approved by the FCC commission.

That's irrelevant to the behavior of this administration who publicly exerted power to suppress free speech....and even though it was short lived, it worked.

One aspect of the FCC's authority is licensed broadcasting obligated to conduct itself with the public interest in mind.

You do suffer from TDS as well.....in the worst way.

E/Os are a legal way of doing business.

 

[ll74]

Carr's comments came after the Kimmel/suspension

Nope. Kimmel was suspended after Carr's appearance on Johnson's podcast where he stated -"we can do this the easy way or we can do this the hard way"

You are simply misinformed.

Because you don't like What Carr said doesn't make it illegal or a violation of free speech.

The government exerting pressure to an outcome favorable to them is not illegal.

It is a.violation of free speech according to SCOTUS.

“The coercive tactics used by New York officials were a naked attempt to evade the Constitution,” said Corn-Revere. “The government cannot use its bully pulpit to censor speech it doesn’t like without violating the First Amendment.

National Rifle Association v. Vullo

No action was ever taken. Any fines would have had to be deliberated by the FCC commission.

No official action is required to be taken in order to violate free speech

Don't care if there were a 1000. Dems fucking leftist nutwig lawyers and activist judges challenged most. Trump won many which just points out how frivolous those lawsuits were.

You are focused too much on legal versus illegal.

Where were you when Biden suppressed free speech. In your mind it was OK because it was your team. You're a hypocrite and lack self awareness.

I was here.

This statement suggests that you don't like the behavior unless it is done by people you support.

Unless you favored their behavior then?

Pointing out democrat double standards is not deflection. As much as you would like to bury Biden's feckless administration, we won't.

It is. You like the behavior and use "but they did it" bullshit to explain that it's ok now.

The "they made me do the things I didn't like" deflection.

Don't criticize others for the same shit your party did. When allegations were made against Trump you could put money on the fact that democrats were actually doing what they accused others of.

You think you're not?

Lol

The number of EOs indicate an abuse of power.

 

[Bray123]

I've read a couple of his EOs. They are mostly a whine-fest about how upset he is about being subject to the same laws as everyone else. They are a sad and pathetic read.

There is no Democratic party anymore Ican. Only a mob of Communists that co-opted the name.

Sorry about that

Communist? Did you say Communist?

 

[Rebel5soul]

Those who admit to being Communists are self-identifying ^^^^ already.

The government owns Intel.

The current President did that.

You're misinformed!

As I've stated in past posts Carr never took formal action. The 1st amendment protects against direct government intervention. No law was broken, unlike the Biden administration where his admin did intervene with free speech and violated our 1st A rights. You're not only misinformed you're ignorant of the law.

 

[ll74]

You're misinformed!

Carr was a guest on Johnson's show on September 17.

ABC suspended Kimmel later that night.

That is the actual timeline.

As I've stated in past posts Carr never took formal action.

It doesn't need to be formal.

The 1st amendment protects against direct government intervention. No law was broken, unlike the Biden administration where his admin did intervene with free speech and violated our 1st A rights. You're not only misinformed you're ignorant of the law.

I posted a direct quote from the Supreme Court on the issue.

Are you suggesting that to be misinformation? Are you suggesting that SCOTUS isn't a legal authority?

 

[Rebel5soul]

It's funny watching the Communists construct straw men then run around in circles wringing their hands over the straw man they created. NOBODY but your fellow Communists are taking the Kimmel shit seriously.

And BTW, he's still going to get canceled because he's not funny and he's losing a ton of money.

You're cheering on the government pressuring private companies every single week and somehow believe that it's about one man and whether he's funny or not.

America is fucked and you're a baby killer.
