The stupidest man ever in government can change reality with his verbal vomit because republicans are afraid of losing their cushy and privileged jobs. I despair the species.
All the Republicans in this country and all the garbage human beings that work for the government that are Republicans are responsible for the downfall of america. It is 100% their fault. So when you're living in a dystopian shit hole you know who to blame it on
Seems like he might want a word or two with Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society if he's genuinely concerned with inappropriate influences on the judicial system.
Pretty sure real presidents understand the constitutional amendment pertaining to freedom of speech and free press. Journalists simply report what they see and hear.
I thought this was the party of free speech and you shouldn't be cancelled by free speech, especially the government wanting to silence you free speech. They did advocate for that right?
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
And I have to wonder how such an ignorant person could ever have convinced 75 million people to vote for him ... especially those with a basic understanding of the law.
A 34 time convicted felon, why is this trash allowed near power? As a criminal, he dislikes anything that points out his criminality, such as free speech and since he wants to destroy the country, he starts with that -
Free speech?
Over rated. Fuck it
In the same speech at DOJ Friday, Trump said he wanted police killers executed quickly. This from the guy who has been complaining about a justice system he believes has railroaded him for a crime that involved the largest assault on police in American history.
Every single day, you can see he's getting much worse. More disconnected with reality and focused on his dark vision of destroying everything that made our country great.
It pisses me off how many "centrist" dems jumped ship or didn't vote for woman POC and blamed "procedure" around the primaries. That showed they weren't dems at all, just those who wanted an old white dude and were slightly less racist and/or misogynistic than actual Reps. until it came time to vote
Always was but white people couldn't stand another POC, much less a woman, becoming POTUS. Can't break our legacy of old white dudes ruling the nation!
And still that criminal resides in the White House at the pinnacle of world power. He's destroying democracy and warping the justice system to his own ends. America preferred this fascist to their President rather than a woman of colour ? Wow..
It wasn't a speech TO the DOJ - it was a speech AT the DOJ to select invited individuals. So they already had the message he was just giving the rest of the world a preview.
Part of the problem is the media hasn’t taken what Tangerine Toddler says as serious, a confession, a mandate….ever.
It might sound like a blustery word-salad but he is telegraphing his intentions with every incoherent ramble.
A President would respect the Constitution. A fascist dictator, or wannabe fascist dictator, won’t.
We already know neither he nor 5 or 6 SCOTUS justices will uphold it. 😡
The match to fascism continues apace. Act now, America, because it isn't going to get any easier. The more illegal, repugnant acts these criminals commit the harder they'll cling to power for fear of the reprisals, should they lose their grip.
If Trump can get away with it, I can see him trying to make independent reporting illegal. Then all major news sources will be owned by his loyalists, only reporting what he approves. Like Russia, North Korea, etc.
The Patriot Act did the same thing. Most Dems voted in favor of it, and continue to allow it. In many ways that has done more damage to our privacy and safety than anything Trump has done. In many ways, they both suck...
Short version, post 9/11, they are/have been reading every single e-mail, text, listening to every single phone call...without a warrant. I hate Trump with a passion, but am so disappointed with the Dems sometimes as well.
the day we can find someone who says something worth hearing
and post only those quotes 40 billion times a day
may be the start of a better mindset for us all.
This is just further evidence that he’s weak and losing control. He’s getting really anxious and scared. That’s why he keeps issuing threats and declaring legal things illegal. He’s trying to scare us into compliance. Don’t let him. Do not comply in advance.
I’m a sociology major. I’ve studied authoritarian regimes. Authoritarian leaders that are secure in their position of power don’t lash out and sew chaos. They project strength by providing some form of stability. Tantrums, repression, and reactionary measures are a sign of weakness and panic.
Authoritarian leaders react in this way when they feel threatened. It’s an attempt to regain control and give the illusion of strength, but it always backfires. Authoritarian regimes require economic and social stability in order to function long-term. If they fail to achieve that, they collapse.
Exactly. Erratic behavior is a sign of fractures forming within a regime. It’s essentially an illusion meant to pacify the public with fear. Chaos and instability is a double edged sword though. Eventually the public catches on and it further fuels the resistance.
I’ve studied authoritarians and they always lash out with threats, erratic behavior, and repression as a reactionary measure when their efforts to gain total control are failing. They do this out of desperation and panic in order to project an illusion of strength when they’re at their weakest.
He's in the strongest position to do damage, for sure, but he's doing so in such an inept way he risks losing his popular support before he solidifies his grip on power.
“THE HILL
Trump suggests media outlets be deemed illegal
..
47 says reporting by independent news outlets is biased and should be deemed to be against the law.
"It has to be illegal, it's influencing judges and it's really changing law, and it just cannot be legal. I don't believe it's legal."
They're sending army engineers to that park that Abbott fenced off in January 2024 and said he'd turn into a military base.
March 12, 2025
"When the soldiers and airmen arrive, a total of about 9,600 service members will either be deployed or scheduled to deploy to the U.S.-Mexico border."
Peter Baker and the liars at the New York Times endlessly kissed Trump's ass and endlessly slandered Joe Biden. And now this is the way Trump thanks them...
You prevent retaliation ag a inst independent news sources by supporting them -- vocally and financially. I have several subscriptions, more than I really have time to keep up with.
This from the genius who said that planes with electric motors would fall out of the sky when the sun went down.
Who worried that sharks would eat him if his boat had an electric motor. Who constantly reference his friend Hannibal Lecter.
Trump is a psychopath. FULL STOP
"The 25th Amendment can be invoked by the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments (the Cabinet) or such other body as Congress may by law provide, to declare the President unable to discharge the powers and duties of the office. "
Who among those people are willing to throw themselves under the bus to do so? His cabinet all owe their promotions to him so he owns them. And Congress is scared shitless of him for a variety of reasons. Congress won't act until the people force them to.
You should. Because he not only believes he is above the law(which in the USA he is) but he also believed he is the law.
Your constitution is under direct attack.
The craziest part of this coup is the fact that at every opportunity Trump has told us exactly what he’s going to do. Then he does it and the media is like, oh my god, he did the thing! And the people are like, oh my god, he did the thing! Duh.
“I don’t like the media who keep reporting on all the crimes and stupid sh1t I’m doing. That’s just not fair!!! I’m going to silence them and make it illegal to tell people anything bad about me.” ~DJT
Yes you’re right! In fact, many people I followed and had respect for were part of that group which needless to say I’ve blocked. Also, I find myself using the remote a lot more these days.
It's only a matter of fucking minutes before he signs an EO to throttle the media. And it's only a matter of SECONDS before he starts looking in the direction of BlueSky.
In progress...the press and free speech, judges and the rule of law, while Leon takes away healthcare and SS. At the same time, DOD is getting weaker, and DOJ is releasing as many criminals as possible. You know, for when they come after protesters.
Calling himself “Chief Law Enforcement Officer.”
dismantling the rule of law to consolidate power and weaponize the judiciary. Then targets his political opponents, the media and critics to enact retribution.
Trump is an ignorant fool. It is very likely that he really believes what he says. He’s too arrogant and incurious to understand “free speech” and to actually learn what is in the constitution and bill of rights. And yet he fooled enough other ignorant people to lead them over the cliff.
Dumb Donald has alienated the US from the rest of the world.
Citizens are saying, he’s nuts. It’s not us.
Where are his wife, his adult kids, his family? Does he not realize that there ARE crazy people on this planet fully capable of attacking his family if they can’t get to him?
so he can pay money to tell us lies but we can’t hear the truth for free? I watch as many sources as I can even the ones considered way right and way left - you need to be informed all sources so you make better choices - All Networks should be allowed not just the ones that tell his demented lies
Given there isn't a government-funded news media outlet, everything is independent. What Trump means is media who are not bending to his will, who will not kiss the ring. Trump will shut them down. He's serious.
Nothing Trump does is legal, and Americans have the right to know what he’s doing. If he’s doing nothing illegal, why does he whine about the media’s reporting?
So, free press is illegal, non violent protests are illegal - just come out and say it ya big orange turd, anything you don't like is illegal cos you're just a massive manbaby and they hurt your widdle feelings.
Clearly he's being threatened by the truth being spread by independent news outlets like MeidasTouch, Farron Cousins, Adam Mockler, and Brian Tyler Cohen, among others.
Everyone who voted Harris said this shit was going to happen. The media acting all surprised now instead of doing actual journalism before election is pretty sickening. The media failed America. They failed themselves.

I noticed that there’s a Fox News WEATHER channel.
Between Dems influencing the weather and the supposed disbanding of NOAA … what the fuck does this even mean?
And yes on neutering the Murdochs.
Chapter 8.
1 - "France's Macron to Host Canada's Carney in Paris on Monday." A coalition is forming against the U.S. & Russia.
2 - Macron is telling the world to stop buying american weapons and buy European instead.
3 - Putin and Trump are crapping their diappers.
Your constitution is under direct attack.
WAKE UP!
IT IS A FUCKING COUP!
He thinks he’s Don Corleone.
They enabled it. Fuck 'em.
No need to answer we all know how he thinks.
Obviously not a joke anymore
Taking over DOJ and the military, on Pages 1 and 2, respectively.
I don't wish it for the decent people that'll suffer. But for MAGA in those 2 of 3 swing states?
Yeah, they can kiss my asshole.
you're hinting?
Make it illegal.
They rid Society of Freedom
We can't stand for that. Protest!
"What I think, is law."

We let him steal our goddamn vote
He's illegitimate
So are his "orders"
QUIT FUCKING OBEYING

He’s demented!
God for you!!!
#mirrorlogic
The man will stop at nothing to silence his critics
It must be illegal.
Therefore I declare it illegal.
Oh wait, that’s right he only means when the media hold him accountable by reporting the truth.
