This is so ridiculous! When are we going to stop Trump from ruining our world?

It’s SHOCKING how quickly the Trump administration has killed free speech in the US.

Trump is abusing his power to intimidate and silence critics, that is what autocracies do, that is what dictators do.

He rewrites culture, and demands loyalty, and payoffs. His vendetta is shaping a dark, dystopian future. The only thing a dictator hates more than ridicule is when people laugh at him. I guess watching a comedian impersonate him every night hurts his little feelings.

The MAGA descent into authoritarianism is on full display. We’re watching the death of lawful dissent in real time. Their authoritarian playbook demands it. Let's call a spade a spade: this administration is an authoritarian regime. This isn’t cancel culture, it’s state-sanctioned censorship.

Remember: The First Amendment protects you from the government policing your speech.

It protects an individual's right to express their views WITHOUT government censorship.

It protects me to wear freely these kinds of anti-MAGA t-shirts if I want to 👇

EVEN if "the lying King" Trump doesn't like it.

Make no mistake about it: Trump administration's censorship of Jimmy Kimmel violates the Constitution. Period.

However when the administration does not care about the Constitution and the Supreme Court certainly doesn't either then there is not much left for us.

That is the key. What's left for us? We're paying a lot of tax dollars to be ignored, suppressed and threatened, absolutely powerless.

"This isn’t cancel culture, it’s state-sanctioned censorship."

Correct! Cancel culture is a citizen thing. This is a federal gov't thing. I'm tired of hearing of the "hypocracy of the right with cancel culture." This is so much more disturbing.

It feels more like a regime than an administration to me. Fotus governs by tweet and EO’s, showing how lazy he is and how little he knows. Ugh

He must have an army of people conducting review and surveillance of everything televised, written, said. He's too busy golfing, remaking the White House & "truthing" his own reality to keep track of everything himself.

You are right, people must abandon the concept of, "I don't like it but I'm okay, so I'm just going to stay below the radar and ride it out." We need to understand a handful of billionaires plan to rule the entire world, starting with our country.They want riches for themselves and ignorance and poverty for others. Controlling our health and opportunity with bias and without compassion. Look at their cruel rhetoric and their hidden meetings and favoritism towards specific people and companies

Sadly, I think you could be correct. I don’t want to fight my fellow Americans. Our fathers and gradfathers and their grandfathers fought so we could have rights. I realize not everyone’s rights was included in those fights. Only white men of 21 years of age, until the civil war, and even after that black and brown people and women didn’t have equal rights. I was 28 years old before I could get a damn credit card and a medical procedure without a man’s signature, my dad’s signature. I had a 10 year old before I had the right to make a decision about my own damn body. So, you’re fucking a I’m pissed at what is going on in this country.

All of you have a tremendously short term memory of censorship and cancel cx by your federal govt against conservatives over the past 4 yrs. This time an employer fires JKimmel for being a jackass and having bad ratings. Nothing to do with Trump (who was actually oversees in the UK.) Cry me a river with your endless hatred!!

When you can find a democratic leader that puts Americans ahead of illegal aliens, law abiding citizens ahead of criminals, can oversee dems unanimously voting to honor Charlie Kirk and to condemn his assassination, to stand in congress to support Laken Riley’s family and a 12 yo kid named DJ Daniels who’s battling brain cancer… not a moment sooner.

Another Gulf of Tonkin? Consider: is Trump trying to force a pretext war with Venezuela (On September 2, 2025, Trump ordered the destruction of a Venezuelan boat and 11 lives. https://tinyurl.com/3m38a98r and On September 15, 2025, Trump ordered the destruction of a Venezuelan boat and 3 more lives. https://tinyurl.com/mwmzhzx8) as a “justification” to use the Alien Act, as LBJ escalated the Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964 (below)?

> > > > >

An Act concerning aliens of June 25, 1798, "Alien Act" https://www.archives.gov/milestone-documents/alien-and-sedition-acts#alien

SECTION 1. [W]henever there shall be a declared war between the United States and any foreign nation or government, or any invasion or predatory incursion shall be perpetrated, attempted, or threatened against the territory of the United States, by any foreign nation or government, and the President of the United States shall make public proclamation of the event, all natives, citizens, denizens, or subjects of the hostile nation or government, being males of the age of fourteen years and upwards, who shall be within the United States, and not actually naturalized, shall be liable to be apprehended, restrained, secured and removed, as alien enemies.

> > > > >

The Gulf of Tonkin incidents https://www.usni.org/magazines/naval-history-magazine/2008/february/truth-about-tonkin

Historians have long suspected that the second attack in the Gulf of Tonkin never occurred and that the resolution was based on faulty evidence [concluding] that some of the signals intercepted during the nights of 2 and 4 August [1964] were falsified to support the retaliatory attacks. [S]ome intercepts were altered to show different receipt times, and other evidence was cherry picked to deliberately distort the truth.

Secretary McNamara intentionally misled Congress. Later [on August 6, 1964], Secretary McNamara lied when he denied knowledge of the provocative 34A patrols at a Pentagon news conference.

Then President Johnson asked during a 4 August [1964] meeting of the National Security Council, "Do they want a war by attacking our ships in the middle of the Gulf of Tonkin?" CIA Director John McCone answered matter-of-factly, "No, the North Vietnamese are reacting defensively to our attacks on their offshore islands . . . the attack is a signal to us that the North Vietnamese have the will and determination to continue the war. Johnson himself apparently had his own doubts about what happened in the Gulf on 4 August [1964]. A few days after the Tonkin Gulf Resolution was passed, he commented, "Hell, those damn, stupid sailors were just shooting at flying fish.

So many matters from which we need to be distracted, including this part of a long list:

Epstein: exactly who is being protected (we can hazard a guess or two as to why)?

Alienation of Mexico, Canada, Greenland, the EEC and so much of the world (Ukraine?)

Tariffs imposed even as they are denied to be repressive, regressive taxes

BBB ensures ongoing up-bracket wealth transfers (Budget Lab at Yale: great resource)

First Amendment elimination by media suppression and FCC manipulation

Investigation of political figures by the Director of the FHFA, a building magnate

Due Process (5th/14th Amendment) elimination (particularly immigration-related)

Fourth Amendment elimination (particularly immigration-related)

MAHA: the rapid progressive destruction of health care in America (CDC up/down)

Medicare, Medicaid and ACA efficacy/availability compromised (soon and in 2026)

Environmentally disastrous supply sources vs. safe, planet-friendly technology

Elimination of the Emoluments Clause for all practical purposes

Abuse of the Pardon process to provide leverage behind near absolute immunity

Military attacks on Venezuelan vessels and Iranian facilities for incomplete reasons

Gerrymandering to eliminate the effectiveness one-person, one-vote rule

Suppression/eliminating of the rights of people to identify by choice as to gender

Destruction of the Civil Rights (1964) and Voting Rights (1965) Acts

Manipulation of the SCOTUS, violation of lower Federal court orders, law firms bowed

Threatening to primary (and possibly more) GOP dissent in Congress

"Peace to Prosperity" Plan (search Google if interested)

Condemning the Supreme Court of Brazil for democratically convicting a former leader

Unwarranted violations of the Posse Comitatus Act and misuse of the National Guard

Creation of a National Database of protected information under the ruse of DOGE

Attacking institutions of higher learning and eliminating the Ed. Dept. as relevant

Weaponizing the DOJ, FBI, Homeland Security, and National Intelligence Agencies

He is doing what he always does. Make a stupid statement like, he was going to take over the Panama Canal or Greenland, to keep the attention there and not lol at what he’s doing here. Same thing with Venezuela. He and the drunk running the Pentagon , keep saying we are going to war. They are doing their thing about look here, Venezuela, while they mess around in America & they ruin our democracy and by bypassing and destroying our government Constitution. I’m worried they are the way of bankrupting America, by putting our money into volatile and unsafe Bitcoin.
