Ted Cruz, that well known denizen of the HARD LEFT, has said that Brendan Carr has acted "like a Mafioso, straight out of Goodfellas", and that the threats to ABC were "dangerous as hell".

To Nic it is; "A picture paints a thousand words"

Then agan, Kirk also said "You should be allowed to say outrageous things. You should be allowed to say contrarian things". Perhaps, on that basis, he would have opposed the Kimmel decision.

Whilst the death of Charlie Kirk was abhorrent, let's not gloss over some of his views. This is Kirk speaking about Democrat Texas Represetative Jasmine Crockett; "The great replacement of white people is far more sinister than any redistricting project. That is at the core of the Democrat project, Jasmine Crockett is just some circus act in that entire operation, you shouldn’t take what she says seriously. It’s just a joke. What she represents is very serious, which is the continued attempt to eliminate the white population in this country.”

That extreme leftie Tucker Carlson has weighed in, saying the Administration is trampling over free speech; https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/tucker-carlson-trump-charlie-kirk-free-speech-b2829584.html

Can you still jump up onto a mantlepiece ?

"Grab them by the pussy".

14 to 1 vote in favour and the motion is defeated. The UN Security Council needs reforming.

‘Should the government censor speech it doesn’t like? Of course not. The FCC does not have a roving mandate to police speech in the name of the ‘public interest’.’ 'A newsroom’s decision about what stories to cover and how to frame them should be beyond the reach of any government official.' ‘...political satire is one of the oldest and most important forms of free speech. It challenges those in power while using humor to draw more people into the discussion. That’s why people in influential positions have always targeted it for censorship.’ '...free speech is the counterweight – it is the check on government control. That is why censorship is the authoritarian's dream.’ Brendan Carr, prior to being appointed as FCC Chairman by Donald Trump.

If it upsets you so much you could just go away and never read the thread. It's all a question of "free speech".

I bet the Albanians are delighted that Donnie managed to bring an end to their terrible war with Azerbaijan.

And amy platform he puts it on will immediately ban him because.....Trump.

"Then on Wednesday, the Federal Communications Commission chairman, Brendan Carr, went on a conservative podcast and threatened to act against Disney and ABC, the companies that produce and air Kimmel's show. "We can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies can find ways to change conduct and take action, frankly, on Kimmel, or there's going to be additional work for the FCC ahead," he said." From the BBC.

Possibly because the FCC, and it's Trump appointed chief, threatened to withdraw ABC's licence.

OUT !

Building a model of HMS Rodney for our grandson, listening to Lacuna Coil's albums; Comalies, Karmacode, and Black Anima.

Forgot to add this quote from Donnie; "...get out and vote, just this time, you won’t have to do it any more. Four more years, you know what? It’ll be fixed, it’ll be fine, you won’t have to vote any more, my beautiful Christians.”

"At the core of fascism is loyalty to tribe, ethnic identity, religion, tradition, or, in a word, nation." — Jason Stanley White, Christian nationalism. 'Just Cause' for detention now includes having brown skin and a foreign accent. "Call it "soft fascism": a political system that aims to stamp out dissent and seize control of every major aspect of a country's political and social life, without needing to resort to "hard" measures like banning elections" — Zach Beauchamp Threaten media organistions that criticise, every aspect of public services must comply wth the Presdent's agenda, ( sacking public officials who in carrying out their duties contradict the 'message' ), denying legitimate election results. Although fascist parties and movements differed significantly from one another, they had many characteristics in common, including extreme militaristic nationalism, contempt for electoral democracy and political and cultural liberalism, - Britannica Emphasising military might, ( renaming the Department of Defense as the Department for War ), using the military as domestic Police, gerrymandering and inciting insurrection, demonising "liberals". No, can't see how anybody might think Trump's administration is tending to fascism.

The first "one out" has been flown to France.

The lions in Trafalgar Square are anatomically wrong, their legs and posture are not correct.

The only truly 'balanced' poster on here is Trousers, on his fence.

It was a decision made in Trump's America, where media oulets are in fear of being denounced by the Administration. How many news stations and newspapers are "FAKE" or " FAILING" ?

Following the fascist dictatorship playbook page by page. Silence the ones that won't bend to you.

One highlight of that documentary was Donnie saying in a July interview that there is no crime in Scotland.

Do you think Tommy's supporters would get upset if you pointed out that 2 of their beloved "Three Lions" are in fact French ? They represent England, Normandy, and Aquitaine.
