Gee I wonder why. Could it be that the wannabe FAC isn’t dictator wants to sic his cultists on sources to do his dirty work? Again.

jen6172.bsky.social•99 days ago

Thanks for gifting the article. Next up: state run media - which is essentially what he has already on Fox, Truth Social, the app formerly known as Twitter, NewsMax. But that’s enough. Must squash ALL free press.

Displaying his usual level of awareness.

heyjayblue.bsky.social•97 days ago

Just another DickTraitor move.

soliae.bsky.social•99 days ago

Proper headline:

“Senile Dementia Patient Forgets He Isn’t President”

justkate40.bsky.social•98 days ago

😂😂😆

The freedom of the press, which is protected by the First Amendment, is critical to a democracy in which the government is accountable to the people. Trump intends to eliminate our democracy and undermining the freedom of the press is critical towards achieving his goals.

lilybelle05.bsky.social•98 days ago

This has always been his goal.

shonlittle.bsky.social•90 days ago

I probably should have read past “Trump Tells Republicans to Kill Reporter”.

shakegrrl.bsky.social•99 days ago

Here we go again.
I swear, his Presidency should be called “The Kill Bill” era.

justkate40.bsky.social•98 days ago

Ohh 😆😆yes. I love this .

danhazardart.bsky.social•99 days ago

Call it tyrrany. That is what it is, and if you think there will be another presidential election, your not paying attention. They will all be pagentry masking a Dictatorship, at best. Dark times indeed.

magsmac.bsky.social•99 days ago

Freedom of the press. Seems pretty clear to me.

Thanks for the gift.. @charliesavage.bsky.social

If it's passed the house why can't it pass the sensate?

justkate40.bsky.social•98 days ago

Because Dems control the Senate right now.

aldolivarius.bsky.social•98 days ago

Because we have 2 Senators named Manchin & Sinema who refuse to vote to get rid of the filibuster. Because the filibuster is still in play, Republicans will invoke it to prevent any Dem bill from passing on a simple majority vote.

esweeney66.bsky.social•98 days ago

Still? Both are done so as Americans you would think this is something they would get behind

aldolivarius.bsky.social•98 days ago

Those 2 were in it for the power and money only. They didn't give 2 shyts about their constituents...and still don't.

esweeney66.bsky.social•98 days ago

I still wish for better out of people

aldolivarius.bsky.social•97 days ago

You and me both!

jonsternfeld.bsky.social•99 days ago

I'm terrified but it feels like everything is just what Trump SAYS right now--which is historically unreliable--without any counter because no one is going to speak up, so all we're getting now is the horrifying without it interacting with the actual world.

mermerlkwd.bsky.social•96 days ago

This is the first step in shutting down the free press. Denying the press their A1 rights. Without a free press, we will never know the truth about what is going on again! Everything will be like Faux News. Fascism 101!

hermioneishere.bsky.social•99 days ago

Hey…the 4th Estate failed us(A) miserably.

‘When they come for you you won’t have the general public on your side.’

Been saying this…

dhrichards.bsky.social•99 days ago

This is just a taste of what is to come- a full-scale war on "mainstream media" and favoritism towards places that toady up to Trump.

susanmcgraw88.bsky.social•98 days ago

This is how it begins...

catbo15.bsky.social•99 days ago

I guess if Trump doesn’t get his way , he’ll take it to SCOTUS who will give him his way.

justkate40.bsky.social•98 days ago

I guess you're probably right.

mermerlkwd.bsky.social•96 days ago

I wish I had the option of an angry face instead of a heart.

lorib4.bsky.social•96 days ago

Sad but very true 🙄

fplynch.bsky.social•99 days ago

Why can’t I have generals like Hitler had

bacchus666.bsky.social•99 days ago

Well this is going to be fun.

I wonder who’s next after immigrants and journalists?

Fascism 101

notimeforbs.bsky.social•99 days ago

Thanks for gifting the story for all. As well as to others that do similar.

I believe it's incredibly important for everyone to be informed as we enter this new, uncharted and dangerous era.

witchoftheblood.bsky.social•99 days ago

And they will do whatever he tells them to do while the Dems sit by and watch.

radiostatik.bsky.social•99 days ago

Coz preventing a bill like that doesn’t sound like a sinister action at all… 😳

rockollie.bsky.social•97 days ago

Damn. Damn dystopian Donald

floramcg7.bsky.social•98 days ago

As expected - he controls the senate- they work for him now not the constituents- that’s how dictatorships work.

Go figure the majority of Americans gave up all their freedoms for the republicans.

exitxvotedkaway.bsky.social•99 days ago

This bill really needs to be passed, even if it's at the expense of 1 federal judge confirmation. Particularly if all the Senate Republicans (doubtful) obey their masters order to return to congress, to try and slow judicial appointments. Protecting the free press from fascist overreach is critical.

pentool.bsky.social•99 days ago

The man is an Orbán in waiting.

mermerlkwd.bsky.social•96 days ago

What the yahoo's that are cheering this/him on don't seem to realize is that the next thing he will take is their guns. The left isn't coming for their guns but they need to worry about the dictator with the title of president like Putin.
