Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Wish granted. FM 105.3 will air the pledge of allegiance 24/7 recited by the most symbolically patriotic person in america—Donald J Trump.
There are no ad breaks, no subscription fees. Just pure, uncut, America.
I know in many ways this is an attempt to brainwash folks into ultranationalism, however I also believe its more so an attempt at a "gotchya" that doesn't work anymore.
I remember when they started forcing us in highschool to do the pledge every day, and anyone who opposed it was being chastised as an anti-American and "ungrateful to the brave soldiers who fought for our 'right' to pledge".
I don't think these stupid assholes are gonna have that same "gotchya" anymore. I think more people than ever agree the ultranationalism in the US is cringe, fascist and based in lies.
I say let's have some broadcasting about American history worth celebrating:
- The foundation of America and the allies that made it possible
- The immigrants that built America
- How slavery was abolished
- The history of civil rights in America
- How America built an empire after WW2 using soft power
- Etc...
Yeah! No more gay stuff! We want America stuff! Like raping children stuff.
That's what I call "Alpha Male" vibes!
I don’t watch nor subscribe to anything live, so whatevs. My plex has whatever I put on it.
Same, not plex, but otherwise that's what the entire family uses.
American Theocracy.
Jawohl, mein heir!
The FCC can go fuck themselves
I do not pledge allegiance to a fascist country. I haven't placed my hand over my heart in 10 years. I would sooner burn the flag than pledge.
I have also instructed my children to no longer pledge either.
This sorry sack of shit makes Ajit Pai look good in retrospect. 🤮
I still cannot believe how stupid they must think everyone else is to have posted that nonsense he posted about net neutrality. Ajit is still an asshole.
At least his stupid coffee mug was relatable. I literally can’t think of another FCC chair.
Tom Wheeler was FCC chair under Obama. He was a VC and telecom industry lobbyist, so obviously he's going full regulatory capture and letting the industry squeeze us dry right? Turns out he changes his mind, rules in favor of Title II, and ushers in Net Neutrality in the US. Crazy stuff.
Ten years later the Roberts Supreme Court comes through and undoes all of it. Because fucking of course they did.
I remember seeing a sketch some number of years ago about a time travler warning his past self about Betsy DeVos and the past version was shocked that things got bad enough that he knew who the secretary of education was.
Fuckin-A man… I’ve never known who the secretary of HHS was, this is the second dept of Education secretary I’ve know the name of (the first was DeVos).
You don’t normally hear about the competent ones…
Do some actually pro-America stuff to report on first. Or does he think that the tail wags the dog ?
I think we know how an administration that employs Kristi Noem feels about dogs
There's only one pro-american program i'd like to see.
Stay tuned for the seasonal finale of We Got The Guillotine, where someone very famous will shit himself on camera for the last time!
Jesus H. Christ when will this fascist nationalist shit end?
Does this "pro-america" programming involve making truthful statements and quoting the law?
I am not alone in my disgust over an administration that would punish anyone, let alone members of Congress, for simply reminding service members of their legal duties. Last week, a federal judge appointed by President George W. Bush issued an injunction blocking Hegseth from punishing Kelly for his role in the video. Finding that the Arizona senator had shown a substantial likelihood of success on the merits of his legal challenge, Judge Richard Leon wrote, “Defendants have trampled on Senator Kelly’s First Amendment freedoms and threatened the constitutional liberties of millions of military retirees.” Even for a judge who frequently disregards the judicial norm of avoiding exclamation points in his legal opinions, this one was extraordinary. “To say the least,” he wrote, “our retired veterans deserve more respect from their Government, and our Constitution demands they receive it!” Charging them with a crime for their free speech would be even more egregious.
(Emphasis mine)
Hahahaha no.
This is how you force secularity on the population. I think they don’t have as much support as they think they have. Most people don’t want their weird paedophilic religion.
We're getting closer to Gilead every day
We have untouchable Commanders and our own Serena Joy. We’re already there.
I mean I'm sure they're not untouchable. Also who's our Serena Joy? Melania?
Pro America programming:
Free and fair elections are a cornerstone of our nation. Acting to disenfranchise citizens from voting with plans from our current administration of jackbooted paramilitary thugs at polling places is a threat to America.
I can't wait to stand in front of a tv in my living room, volume blasting, and recite this every day at the same hour like an absolute fucking weirdo.
childish chorus
I pledge allegiance
To the flag
Of the United States of America
And to the Republic
For which it stands
One nation
Under God
Indivisible
With liberty
And justice for all.
So glad I got this forever burned into my brain instead of, say, the periodic table or civics. Very useful in my every day life. /s
And to obey the Law of the Pack.
As a former broadcaster, I know as well as anyone that the FCC has never had control over programming. But since no one in DC has the balls, I guess that's going to change.
