  • But this guy is in charge of the FCC, is he making the argument that they are breaking some broadcasting regulation by allowing non-white men in the media? If not, then he needs to look to another organization to make that case for him as staffing is not in his organization’s purview.

    And I understand what he is trying to do, it’s the exact same racist argument they used to have the Supreme Court rollback affirmative action. It’s all white supremacist arguments, just no “white genocide” in writing, just implied.


  • Where is his authority to tell a public business it has to do anything about its hiring practices?

    Trump’s EO basically just undoes anything positive, it doesn’t make anything new.

    The FCC was established by the Communications Act of 1934 and is charged with regulating interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite and cable.

    How does hiring practice have anything to do with what the FCC has power over? The government has departments for that, but it’s not the FCC.

  • “Democracy in America is being destroyed by judicial coup"

    • Elon on Twitter

    Coup definition: “a sudden, violent, and unlawful seizure of power from a government.”

    So, a federal judge putting the brakes on your dismantling of our government and its checks and balances is a “coup”? OK, does this mean we took the country back and we don’t have to worry about Musk or his VP Don anymore?

    And if there is a judiciary in the US destroying our democracy it’s the Supreme Court, but oddly he has no issues with them.

    Edit Spelling is my nemesis, and autocorrect is the enemy of my enemy, but I hate them both.







  • And the fact they are retaining pics of people’s genitals and you need to opt out by calling him. How long before someone cracks one open to share online? And what are the chances it gets just your genitals and not also your face in the frame?

    This also sounds like it’ll be abused by ppl, that for some reason have really taken an interest in double checking that it’s “working right”, and just happen to be cacheing their favs to share with their bros.

    Edit Didn’t even think about the fact I hope this shit isn’t anyplace kids are ever a likelihood. 🤢

    *Edit Sorry missed the fake part - just seems totally plausible in the current climate in the US.








  • That’s the point that people are trying to make though. That’s the only thing democrats ran on. Everything we’ve done is great, everything is getting greater, if you’re not with us then things are going to go to hell.

    OK, not the message I got, but I guess it’s probably different depending on the media you consume. In saying that though, what part of voting for a fascist did you [or those not doing great] think would improve overall?

    That rings hollow when many people you know are NOT doing great, you do NOT feel anything improving and everything is getting slowly worse, oh and if you don’t vote for us you are gonna feel even worse we promise you.

    The issue I have here is that Trump was not new to politics this time around.

    • He ran in 2016 and won.
    • He gave tax breaks to the riches people of this country [1%], while enacting tariffs to drive up the cost of everything for the 99%.
    • He went after peoples health insurance with no plan on how to replace it, despite constantly saying it was easy [though his attempts were blocked].
    • Attacked earned benefits [which thankful was blocked also].
    • He hung out with former Grand Wizard of the KKK David Duke, and had dinner with proud white supremacist Nick Fuentes. He also said there was “very fine people on both sides” when white supremacists marched in Charlottesville, and eventually killed a counter-protester. He responded to BLM protests with great disgust, praising violence used against peaceful protesters. He took great delight in using tear gas and rubber bullets so he could do a photo-op outside a church where he held and upside-down Bible.
    • Then COVID came for us all. He purposefully ignored experts, made doctors the enemy, lied to millions about the dangers, pushed conspiracy theories. Millions died as a result.
    • A recession was made worse by ignoring COVID and the effects it would have on supply chains the world over, the work force, and the nations health [long COVID, mental health, etc.].
    • Upon losing the election he led an insurrection against the US capital, watching the events live from the White House.
    • A laundry list of people in Trump’s orbit were caught up in law suits involving everything from his fake electors, to the insurrection itself, to defamation.
    1. Defamation: Trump 2x guilty, Rudy 1x guilty with several still awaiting trial, Fox News 1x guilty.
    2. Classified documents: Trump and lawyers charged - saved by Supreme Court and tied up to run out the clock.
    3. Insurrection: “Of the more than 1,265 individuals charged since Jan. 6, 2021, department prosecutors have secured more than 718 guilty pleas – including 213 who pleaded to felonies that include assaults on federal officers, obstructing law enforcement and seditious conspiracy.”
      1. NY Election Interference [Falsifying Business Records] - Trump found guilty on all counts and with help of Supreme Court was able to run the clock out and only got the felonies on his record - no jail/probation time. His “fixer” Michael Cohenn served his sentence for this prior to Trump’s trial. Trump’s CFO Allen Weisselberg went to prison once because he wouldn’t flip, then got out and lied again, earning him an additional sentence at Rikers.
    • You then have the 2024 campaign:
    1. He suggested he wanted generals like Hitler.
    2. He doubled down on fallen military were “suckers”.
    3. Hannibal Lecter [who isn’t real] was a great.
    4. Admitted during his debate that he had no plan for health care still [almost 9yrs later - only “concepts of a plan”].
    5. An assault on people of color, disabled, immigrants, women, LGBTQ+. Often referring to them as sub-human or vermin.
    6. Denied knowing about Project 2025, but chose the guy that wrote the forward for the main authors book as his VP [Vance]. He also packed his administration with contributors knowing full well “the plan”.

    And so, so, so much more.

    All this is to say, what part of any of this wall of text would help someone hurting? What part of this hate would fix people not seeing an improvement to their quality of life? How would this make it easier for themselves or their neighbors? The guy didn’t come out of nowhere, people knew the kinda of terror he planned for all of us for 9+ years and for whatever reason chose Nazi over what probably would have been more “status quo”.
