Just seeing trumps response to the online safety act I think it's clear he doesn't care about freedom of speech much
I’m just going to tell you what would happen if this would happen.
Firstly there might be a few small instances of fed’s kidnapping people and black bagging people. But that won’t last long. People will start arming themselves and the feds will have a daily instance like Waco. The federal agents will dwindle as they try to use force to attack the populace. Then the military will get brought in. But that will only mean more dead federal agents. Because if there’s one thing that happens during federal crimes against the constitution. Is that the populace stops giving a fuck and goes harder than the feds are ready to go.
This is all an analysis from my time working in domestic terror. If you think this wouldn’t happen. I assure you Americans are not push overs.
What a petulant, whiney little bitch of a dictator
President just threatened a reporter asking a question....
Narcissistic POS
Fuck off orange Hitler.
White man speaks with forked tongue. Why do reporters never push back against these absurd statements? I know they'll lose 'access', but that's better than losing their integrity.
dammit now i'm not going to be able to get I Wanna Be A Cowboy out of my head
If the country was "fixed"/doing awesome, forecasts for 3 fed cuts by December wouldn't be current. Labour Statistics department head wouldn't be fired for giving bad news.
The bigger problem no matter economic health is "our hate speech is free speech. Your/any criticism, or just concern about the right of criticism, is radical left damaging the country"
And the rest of the press does nothing.
Well, it looked like they were recording and reporting it.
Sure, but where is the general outcry and black headlines?
Language like "Trump Threatens"? It's right there.
Did you want them to dive across the resolute desk and beat him up? What exactly were you wanting the unarmed reporters to do here?
Actually press him on his statements.
Someone should. Stupid turd wouldn't put up a fight anyway.
Secret service might.
Report it.
That's... literally what this post is
To a very limited audience. And one that would be surprised if it was different in the first place.
The reporters didn’t post it here to Lemmy (assuming that’s the small audience). It’s on their website and they likely syndicated it across all kinds of platforms (such as Apple News, Google News, etc).
Follow in Al-Zaidi's footsteps.
Fucking fascist twats.
Ok, I get it now. There's a delay on my Trump-to-English translation. "Treated fairly" means "unquestioned."
He wants people to stop pointing out problematic shit he says and does.
Libel is now hate speech I guess. And any criticism of the president is Libel now, which is also hate speech...
Carry a gun next time you ask questions, since they aren't thrilled about the 1st amendment, check them on the 2nd.
Press are unarmed, it's what gets them a pass into a lot of situations that armed people don't get to go to.
It's sort of a big part of their identity.
Fundamental aspects of the press need to change or we'll continue watching them whitewash everything. Plus I wanna see SCOTUS justify gun control for Fox News people in writing.
Armed reporters are antithesis to everything they stand for.
So is bending knee to a fascist and sanewashing his crimes.
Oh, you're one of those.
Those?
Nothing is good enough
Now that's not true. I'd be happy with them exhibiting journalistic integrity.
how can interviewees be honest under threat of execution, which is what armed journalists imply?
They aren't honest without threat of execution. That's the point they were making. If they're already not doing what they should be doing as journalists then who cares?
No integrity in this clip?
I don't see what he sees.
