We will be a Second Amendment country without a First Amendment if this happens.

"I think they are salivating for the opportunity to prosecute journalists for leaks of supposed national security information.”

👉“I suspect a lot of the wealthy allies of Donald Trump will underwrite those lawsuits.”

And we can think ABC for obeying in advance.

4just-ice.bsky.social•126 days ago

Ah yes, they're gravely concerned about leaks of national security information. I wonder if stealing classified documents and stockpiling it in your bathroom counts.

smgdh.bsky.social•126 days ago

The guy who certainly stole and most likely sold national secrets is wanting to prosecute journalists for national secrets?

charleybrown.bsky.social•126 days ago

We stopped using mainstream media right after the election. We think they got it wrong. I don't know if these suits will end up doing anything except cost everybody money though.

Good question.And can't imagine those guns can be taken. It will prove interesting

grantmountieofanna.bsky.social•126 days ago

It makes a rebellion very likely imo.

sparklebluebunny.bsky.social•126 days ago

Taking guns from vets, not gonna happen. And the sheer volume of guns people have. Not enough ppl. to take them. Can't be done, so we will have a new civil war. I think in the Civil War many had to supply their own guns.

trudiamond.bsky.social•126 days ago

If Trump wants to "prosecute journalists for leaks of *supposed* national security information,” it's because Trump knows he will definitely pass REAL nat'l sec. info. to enemy nation states like Russia, and he has likely already done that.

katywho50.bsky.social•126 days ago

Where are the documents that Trump stole, never returned, and probably shared with who knows who? Why isn't that a national security issue? Just because the case was tossed doesn't make it any less so.

menjicm.bsky.social•126 days ago

I think that they will find the way (excuse) to do away with a Second Amendment as well. If we look at any authoritarian regime, civilians are NOT allowed to have access to firearms.

He is so short sighted. His attacks are levied at brick-&-mortar news outlets based in the USA, not offshore news outlets. He loves bit-coin, which would be an untraceable way of for these outlets to pay anonymous reporters and sources. His family has been a proponent of end-end encryptions.

He may have been elected by less than 1% of the vote but there is no way he can believably swear to the Presidential oath, you know, the one he violated earlier.
The Republic ends with Trump’s 2nd corrupted recitation of the oath.

arlblue.bsky.social•126 days ago

Yes. People on TT have asked if Trump/Congress could add an amendment ending the Constitution. They won't need to. DeSantis was found to have violated the First Amd. & nothing happened. The fastest way to end a country is to not convict high level officials of violating the highest laws in the land.

I read Sarah's book and listen to her podcasts and reading this gave me the sick feeling in my gut that I feel so often when she places the truth front & center. TBH I'm not sure how those in the know keep their shit together. It's terrifying.

Joyce, could you explain why NYT v Sullivan is cited in srticle about freedom of the press but Near v Minnesota is not? Wasn't Near a case about "defamation," at least in part? Thanks.

Fully agree with you. They are also salivating at having an open season to attack, jail, or murder political opponents and those who speak against them.
