FLASHBACK February - Munich speech:

"To many of us on the other side of the Atlantic, it looks more and more like old, entrenched interests hiding behind ugly Soviet-era words like 'misinformation' and 'disinformation,' who simply don't like the idea that somebody with an alternative viewpoint might express a different opinion, or — God forbid — vote a different way. Or even worse, win an election," Vance told the conference, in his first major address on national security.

… "I believe deeply that there is no security if you are afraid of the voices, the opinions and the conscience that guide your very own people," Vance said. "If you're running in fear of your own voters, there is nothing America can do for you — nor for that matter, is there anything that you can do for the American people who elected me and elected President Trump."

… "You can believe it's wrong for Russia to buy social media advertisements to influence your elections. We certainly do," Vance said. "But if your democracy can be destroyed with a few hundred thousand dollars of digital advertising from a foreign country, then it wasn't very strong to begin with."…”

 
It's beginning to look a lot like the 4th Reich, everywhere you go..
Take a look at the press men, their silenced once again
With ICE Raids and Congress a no show

Not my best work.
 


“Senator Ted Cruz, Republican of Texas, on Friday harshly criticized Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr, accusing him of mafia-like tactics and saying his threat to retaliate against media companies for speech on their airwaves was “dangerous as hell.”

Mr. Cruz was reacting to Mr. Carr’s threat to revoke ABC’s broadcast license because of remarks by the late-night host Jimmy Kimmelduring a Monday night telecast about the assassination of the right-wing activist Charlie Kirk.

Mr. Cruz said Mr. Kimmel had been “lying” in the monologue that prompted ABC to pull his show, in which the comedian said that conservatives had been trying to portray Mr. Kirk’s assassin as “anything other than one of them.”

But the senator also took Mr. Carr to task for suggesting on a right-wing podcast that if media companies did not shut down such statements, the federal government would step in do so.…”

She’s married to a guy a grade above me who went to my high school in Lawrence. He was the NICEST guy. It’s utterly baffling and infuriating how awful she is.

Another politician who started as a moderate or at least old school republican and then turned hard MAGA …

I had a high school classmate who was the one of the nicest guys you could meet. Genuinely nice. I haven’t seen him in years but we were Facebook friends. I haven’t seen his Facebook posts in a few years, but he certainly voiced his political views on Facebook, many of which I found troubling (very anti-LGBTQ remarks). He also was anti-Trump prior to Trump’s 2016 GOP nomination because he saw Trump for what he was. But after Trump got elected, he twisted himself into knots to show his support.

He’s director of marketing for the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), which bills itself as “The Firearm Industry Trade Association” as part of its name.

Among its lobbying efforts is opposing limits on the size of magazines.

It happens to be HQ’d in a small town in Connecticut, Newtown. Newtown is best known for the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting (20 dead 1st graders and 6 adult staff).

My guess is that rock’s super nice high school acquaintance is as MAGA as they come.

I actually didn’t know that. I removed him as a friend from my social media years ago. His dad was a really good dentist in town.

I’m not kidding when I say this kid was known as like the nicest kid in school. Like think of your high school and that one kid that everyone loves because he was always happy and just nice to everyone. That was Matt. No idea what happened.
 




“Now, if they don’t, there’s a way that is not as easy, which is someone can file a complaint at the FCC, and then the FCC, by law, as set up by Congress, has to adjudicate that complaint,” Carr said. “And what I’ve been very clear in the context of the Kimmel episode, is the FCC, and myself in particular, have expressed no view on the ultimate merits” https://
