I had a bad feeling about this!

Trump is taking on the late night show hosts as we all have seen. The censorship of public tv shows is what he is going after. Next, it will be all tv shows host who are not aligned with Trump and his despicable behavior. The media is next. And after Trump is done? We’ll have only a couple of news outlets or sources which will follow Trump’s propagandist narrative and view.

This country has never seen anything like this and it’s only go to get worse.

Be careful of your posts on Facebook and other social platforms! You maybe next?

for any party to control much of a share, try as they might. And few watch late night tv since hosts stopped being funny after Leno and Letterman.

But, you’re not wrong to warn about online speech. What the UK government has started shouldnt frighten us all. Mere words deemed offensive to some can have one jailed.

a ‘should.’

The sentence should read:

What the UK government has started should frighten us all.

For whatever reason, the site wouldn’t allow me to edit it.

"In his Fourth of July speech in 2020 at Mount Rushmore, speaking of the "evil people" on the left, Trump said that "one of their political weapons is 'cancel culture' — driving people from their jobs, shaming dissenters and demanding total submission from anyone who disagrees. This is the very definition of totalitarianism, and it is completely alien to our culture and our values, and it has absolutely no place in the United States."

Or at least our democracy. America is gone.

I can’t believe it is actually happening. We have a dictator and single party rule forever.

That's what people need to not forget, this has nothing to do with Kirk, it is just Trump going after his critics.

Say something "out of line," get thrown in jail.

The question now is which sites will be turning over our IPs to the FBI.
