Imagine the hundreds of millions lives that would be saved if fascist food subsidies ended and people were forced to pay a lot more for unhealthy food like corn oil and sugar.
Yeah, only rich people should be allowed to eat sugar.
-->
@Best.Korea
Yes. That would also reduce the population of rich people.
-->
@Greyparrot
Sounds great.
Now, who is going to tell poor people that they are no longer allowed to eat sugar?
-->
@Best.Korea
They can eat sugar, they just have to take responsibility and pay extra if they want to kill themselves. Just like tobacco.

Strawman fallacy. Nobody claimed they were shutting down the media
He has repeatedly stated that media organizations that reported on him unfavorably should lose their license.
Here he is threatening to take away NBC's license cause he didn't like their reporting
Here he is threatening to take away ABC's license after he didn't like the way they tested him at the debate:

And here you are pretending that this isn't fascist because in the fantasy land you live in it doesn't matter what Trump says cause you get to pretend that he is whatever you say he is while ignoring everything he demonstrates himself to be
^^^
he criticized the media in his first term and it never happened. Nice try.
So 2017 Trump administration is the same as 2025 Trump administration? That's what you're going with?
Now compare that with the fact the current administration literally censored social media with threats
They didn't censor social media. You're living in delusion. Twitter willingly worked with the FBI to combat misinformation. Last I checked that was allowed in the free market you guys pretend to believe in.
Yes the people using it this administration are less likely to than the guy who has been in office and didn't do it
You are completely delusional. The justice department is going after lawbreakers, which includes Bob Menendez and oh yeah, Hunter Biden. You can't be serious.
Trump is facing indictments because he broke the law in painfully obvious ways. Only the most partisan MAGA cultists could look at the trove of evidence against him and think otherwise.
You can discourage it without turning into fascists who disregard the bill of rights. Trump's solution at the beginning to seal off the borders to keep covid out would have worked but he was criticized for that and democrat mayor's were literally holding hug a Chinese person days
This is beyond stupid. It was a global pandemic, you cannot keep it out by "shutting down the borders". Moreover, this is another one of those brazen contradictions in MAGA world; either COVID was a deadly virus to be taken seriously or it wasn't. If it was, then Trump's handling of it was objectively atrocious. If it wasn't, then there was no need to shut down the borders or take any other serious measures to stop it. If you really want to talk about COVID then pick one.
Here he is threatening to take away ABC's license after he didn't like the way they tested him at the debate:
Do you even need a license to be an opinion show like The View, ABC, or CNN?

Thats true. Only rich people are allowed to kill themselves. Food stamps are assisted suicide. Poor people shouldnt be able to eat as much sugar as rich people do. Equality is the path to fascism.

Guys from the Biden administration literally stepped down to pursue him. You have to be a complete retard to think he would face this type of legal scrutiny had he not run for president.
Also Hunter is like baby charges meant to pacify people claiming lawfare and the solution to lawfare isn't to lock up random democrats. It is to stop doing lawfare and Mayne go after anyone who has engaged in lawfare.
This is beyond stupid. It was a global pandemic, you cannot keep it out by "shutting down the borders".
It's not magical. If you are never around people with covid you can't get covid.
either COVID was a deadly virus to be taken seriously
You don't shut down the bill of rights at any time for any reason ever. It's internally consistent if you hate freedom go to Venezuela

He who lives by the sword, dies by it. Why are there government issued licenses to express opinion?
Seems to me that the concept of a "license" and a "right" are mutually exclusive.

They don't license opinions, they license frequencies, we are talking about regulating the airwaves, not ideas.

Sounds like you don't understand the first thing about broadcast frequency designations and channel assignments, making interference and disruption into a "right" would pretty much render the broadcast system inoperable. I suppose you should have the "right" to use random letters and numbers when you write words, but as much as you might call that freedom and liberty and all that crap, you would no longer be communicating.
I know you guys like to use the words liberty, justice, freedom and all that crap you spout, but other than some weird kind of Pavlovian regurgitation, you rarely seem to know what you are talking about.

Uh huh. Law and order, bla bla bla, nobody is above the law; not even ABC rofl!
It's not 'punishment' for 1st amendment protected activity just a happy little accident. Remember what we've learned from Double R, it doesn't matter if there is no precedent. Doesn't matter if no lawyer thought the government could legally act this way before. No none of that matters, just business as usual move along citizen.
This is a preview BTW of the zero fucks I'm going to give if (and it is only a hope) the left tribe gets a taste of its own medicine.
Poetic justice does feel good, but there is also a practical purpose. When you punch someone back, they tend to be much more open to a "no punching rule"; or more aptly they tend to remember that we already had a "no punching" rule that they broke and maybe that was a bad idea.

Yep there we go, narrowly tailored government interest and all that jazz; stack the supreme court and it just remains an open secret that it's revenge. Just like all of Elon Musk's companies just happen to be running into regulatory problems apparently in direct proportion to his public redpilling. Correlation only means causation for carbon dioxide vs global temperatures, not government assaults on liberty vs dissent from the deep state narrative. It is sometimes hard to remember all the double standards.

That is not cooperation when a bunch of armed thugs in sunglasses request you do something.
It is when those requests are granted voluntarily, which they were.
What's so funny about this Twitter files argument is that the "thugs" you are talking about was Donald Trump's own DOJ, so your claim that this is bring perpetrated by democrats is just layers of ridiculous.
Guys from the Biden administration literally stepped down to pursue him.
You mean one person left the DOJ to take a job at the persecutors office in NY. Wow, never seen that happen before...
It's amazing how you pretend everyone else is just believing what they're told as you buy hook line and sinker into unfounded conspiracy theories based on absolutely nothing.
You have to be a complete retard to think he would face this type of legal scrutiny had he not run for president.
Every one of his indictments involved actions as president or as a candidate, so of course he wouldn't have faced any of this scrutiny had he not run for president.
Also Hunter is like baby charges meant to pacify people claiming lawfare
Correct, it was. He was prosecuted for lying about his addiction on a gun application, something there is no record of anyone ever being prosecuted for alone. It is beyond obvious that the only reason he was charged is because his last name is Biden, all to pacify conspiracy theorists who have no interest or understanding of how to evaluate evidence and apply critical thinking. All they do is look at Trump getting indicted and go "Trump indicted mean DOJ bad. Now Hunter must be indicted otherwise this is lawfare!". Of course it never mattered cause you guys will scream lawfare no matter what happens.
It's not magical. If you are never around people with covid you can't get covid.
Yeah, glad you finally understand what the lockdowns were for.
But on a grand scale this idea is patently absurd. There are over 300 million people in this country and we do business all over the world. There is no way you can stop every person, including US citizens, from entering the country without a supervised 14 day isolation period. That would have taken months to set up and even then there is no chance it would have been 100% successful, and any error at all would have collapsed the entire project. This whole idea is cartoonishly ridiculous, and that's putting it lightly.
You don't shut down the bill of rights at any time for any reason ever.
They weren't. It was a global pandemic, that calls for extreme measures. Every right is subject to reasonable restrictions which is why you can't tell fire in a crowded theater. All you're doing is ignoring the "reasonable" part of the equation, not impressive.

Well it certainly wasn't implying anything about law and order.
He was explaining to you how the broadcast system works since you apparently didn't understand it, as demonstrated by your downplaying of Trump's veiled threat to take away ABC's license by pretending news channels don't need a license.
