It's OK to kill a fascist.
I miss so much democracy in America.
Not only are these dumb fucks villains they don't even understand how cartoonishly villainous they look
Is this the so called "Land of the free"?
Goddamn snowflakes can’t actually answer a difficult or uncomfortable question because it might hurt their feefees.
The fact that we are unsure whether the highest court in the land will defend the constitution from these fragrantly illegal policies, is insane.
There is a guy at work that was trying to say that the west defeated fascism. That it was no longer a thing. A regime by any other name would smell just as rancid. Useful traitors for the regime.
There is a guy at work that was trying to say that the west defeated fascism.
You should remind him that the west literally invented fascism, and that it never went away.
Flagrantly
Yeah, I’m gonna leave it as is 😬
They stink too.

First amendment authorizes all questions.
The whole Trump admin should be sentenced to execution for high treason
You’re pretty lucky that didn’t have a question mark at the end or you’d be in big trouble.
Can you imagine how long the line would be of people volunteering for that job?
Just as long as the line which wants to crown trump god emperor. Which is kinda why you guys are in that mess to begin with.
Would cross the Atlantic
This isn't how mainstream media works. Not just any reporter can get in the White House press briefing and ask questions. They've been filtered long before they got there. This isn't new to the Trump regime.
They lost in court and are appealing. I doubt they'll win, but still ignore. The cross-post has a lot more info.
A judge last week struck down the Pentagon’s restrictions on journalists seeking “unauthorized” information, siding with the New York Times in its lawsuit against the government. In response, the Pentagon on Monday added some meaningless window dressing and essentially reissued the same restrictions. The administration pledged to “immediately” appeal the decision on the original policy, and on Tuesday, the Times filed a motion to compel the administration to comply with the judge’s order.
Freedom ~~of speech~~ to write what we tell you.
This isn't even about what they write. They're trying to stop press from even asking questions they don't want asked. They could just refuse to answer, but apparently that's not enough.
Nazis should have no rights.
Not really related to this article but I absolutely despise the penchant for the right to refuse to allow journalists they don't like to attend press conferences.
The snowflakes were the fascists we made along the way.
It's not just a penchant. It's a play book move in converting a democratic state to a fascist one. Don't be fooled into thinking this is all just social anxiety and tantrums.
