On freedom of speech and a free press during the Second Trump administration

Our enfeebled guardrails are still vastly stronger than the ones existing in Russia when Putin took power. But in Trump’s second term, the unthinkable cannot be ruled out. Besides, what outright thuggery accomplished in Russia, mercenary interests and cowardice may accomplish in the United States.

So you slept through the bidet misadministration

@MasterLee No I didn’t, however, it’s fascinating how you‘re not even denying the gist of the quote or the article but instead chose to skip over the denial part and play the whataboutism game instead. It really makes my point for me.

@CedricH Lol I skipped nothing
CedricH · M
@MasterLee Yes you did.

@CedricH n, I just didn't go along with your delusion
CedricH · M
@MasterLee Look at that, if that isn’t a charming excuse for what your reply actually revealed. As long as you do not correct your statement it is fair to read it like an expression of support for this government‘s threats to the free press and the freedom of speech because in your deranged mind the Biden administration’s supposed trespasses on the matter justify at least an equal and opposing reaction.

@CedricH no, that is your projection. You do not define me.
CedricH · M
@MasterLee I just did, in a very reasonable and fair interpretation which is fairly credible unless you clarify - which you didn’t, so it’s the failure to properly define yourself that makes this interpretation possible and necessary.

@MasterLee At least you haven’t lost your sense of humor yet.

@CedricH without one this site is a toxic cesspool
CedricH · M
@MasterLee Well, we can agree on that.
