Normally I would say this against the 1st Amendment and will be easily shut down, but then again the SCROTUM SCOTUS did allow violations of the 14th amendment.
Everyone’s boomer parents: “they would never actually do that. We have rights in this country.”
My boomer mother “they won’t eliminate Medicaid. It’s just a bunch of saber rattling! What you need to do is let the LORD into your heart! Ignore politics it’s just a way you cause problems for yourself like depression”
Oh mom why couldn’t the alcoholism take you
Them and too many non-boomers.
During the first weeks of 1933, the Nazi regime deployed the radio, press, and newsreels to stoke fears (…)
SA (Storm Troopers) and members of the Nazi elite paramilitary formation, the SS, took to the streets to brutalize or arrest political opponents and incarcerate them in hastily established detention centers and concentration camps. Nazi thugs broke into opposing political party offices, destroying printing presses and newspapers.

“Yeah, we’re working with the Department of Justice to see if we can prosecute them for that. Because what they’re doing is actively encouraging people to avoid law enforcement activities, operations, and we’re going to actually go after them and prosecute with the partnership of Pam [Bondi] if we can, because what they are doing we believe is illegal.”
Trump jumped in, “And they may very well be prosecuted also for having given false reports on the attack in Iran. They were given totally false reports. It was totally obliterated.
What a couple of complete brain dead responses. It’s illegal to avoid law enforcement activities? Isn’t it also illegal to interfere with law enforcement activities?
And Trump is claiming that CNN was given a false report on the Iran strike and that is also a crime?
I’m not surprised these trash human beings are trying to spin things, but I’m surprised that people can’t see these absolutely glaring holes in their bullshit responses.
Ah, you must not know any MAGAts. Their boundless capacity for cognitive dissonance is a fundamental trait.
there’s also an element of sunk cost fallacy. they don’t want to let themselves be deprogrammed because they’ve invested so much in this. somewhere deep in their souls, a lot of them know they’re in the wrong but they can’t listen to that part of themselves because it’s easier to keep going than to have the humility to say they were wrong.
if you’ve ever lost a friend to an MLM, this is the part where they double down on the MLM when it’s going poorly because their upline convinces them the problem isn’t the business model, but their friends and relations. the result is isolating.
this is the thing to understand about the political doctrine of isolationism, too. it’s not about not interfering in other places (such as say… Iran), it’s about threatening violence against all who would oppose efforts to build coalitions with the people the empire is oppressing. it’s not about letting things play out, it’s about intensifying control
As a slogan in American political discourse, “America First” originated from the nativist American Party in the 1850s. The motto has been used by both Democratic and Republican politicians in the United States. At the outbreak of World War I, President Woodrow Wilson used the slogan to define his version of neutrality, as did newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst. The motto was also chosen by Republican Senator Warren G. Harding during the 1920 presidential election, which he won.
The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) used the phrase at the organization’s peak in the 1920s, when racist, xenophobic sentiment was widespread; it informed many of their members who ran for political office. The Immigration Act of 1924 sponsored by Washington U.S. representative Albert Johnson proved to legislate xenophobia and white supremacy, excluding immigrants on the basis of ethnicity and national origin in an effort to preserve white racial demographics. Johnson’s leading role in the immigration restriction bill elicited strong support from the KKK.
Trump jumped in, “And they may very well be prosecuted also for having given false reports on the attack in Iran. They were given totally false reports. It was totally obliterated. And our people have to be celebrated, not come home and say, “What do you mean we didn’t hit the target?” We hit the target quickly. You know, the pilots came home, they said we hit the target quickly. So they may very well be prosecuted for that. What they did there, we think, is totally illegal.”
JFC… Trump saw somebody give a stupid answer and said “hold my beer”.
