Freedom of thought and opinion is a staple of a free society, no matter how unpopular ideas are. Some of the worst forms of oppression throughout world history have come when people have been persecuted for holding certain beliefs. This belief can be in the form of religion, political thought,...
Ron DeSantis is actually giving Trump a run for his money on dictatorship try outs. Check this out. www.local10.com/… I would assume that includes hurricanes. No emergency shut downs. Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Monday that he is using his executive powers to terminate all local COVID-19 orders, effective immediately. During a...
At home with my elder five sisters I very soon learnt that freedom of speech had consequences, by that I mean that you better had been damn ready to defend what you said. My parents had encouraged the principle that you say want you want, however the wise course of...
Everybody’s favorite cultural caricatures came out from beneath their rocks because they have nothing to contribute while we wait for the final chapter in the Trump era. The same idiots who hate the French and ignorantly rebranded French(sic) Fries “Freedom Fries” now want to mock the contextualizing of cultural products...
Ted Cruz is becoming even further unhinged, as if there will be an insanity defense for sedition. Because he actually thinks he’s funny, like a Soup Nazi taking the gas pipe: Ok. No gasoline for you. (That includes jet fuel.) And what do you think film is made of? https://t.co/rVwYt7C5Ol...
Oh, this is so, so sad. No one wants to come to Li’l Donnie’s clubhouse anymore. The Wall Street Journal: New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick has turned down President Trump’s invitation to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom in the wake of the riots last week at the U.S. Capitol. Belichick, who...
Mooo. The GOP “farmer” in the hell, gets his participation trophy at the Battle of Bowling Green. https://twitter.com/zachsdorfman/status/1346218438214234112?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Presidential Medal of Freedom recipients GW Bush: Nelson Mandela, Julia Child, Muhammad Ali Obama: Harvey Milk, Toni Morrison, Gloria Steinem Trump: Rush Limbaugh, Devin Nunes, Jim Jordan pic.twitter.com/OVRg6TiEmZ — ALT-immigration (@ALT_uscis) January 5, 2021...
Another Trump-Russia participation trophy, because Devin was so stupid he won’t get an indictment until Trump leaves office. x What’s the over/under thar Trump will award himself the Medal? pic.twitter.com/vl1Rzws2Ny— Devin Nunes’ cow 🐮 (@DevinCow) January 4, 2021 Nunes has filed multiple lawsuits characterized as Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation...
You know, at this point I’d almost rather have a literal mob boss as president. At least they occasionally have some honor. The Washington Post: President Trump on Monday is expected to give Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, according to someone...
Some context: Donald Trump did not win reelection. Okay, onto the fucknuttery: x While presenting the Medal of Freedom to wrestler Dan Gable, Trump brags about Gable's record but then lies and says, “in politics, I won two. So I'm 2-0. And that's pretty good too.” (Trump lost the election...
At 10:28 am on September 11, 2001, the first of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center tumbled to the ground. Collectively, Americans stood in unison and cried, oh freedom. Weeks later George W. Bush stood on the pitcher's mound at Yankee Stadium and threw a ceremonial strike to...
So you call yourself patriots? That is a lie. You are taking away many Americans right to a hospital bed. You are denying the majority of us from enjoying holidays, special occasions, and most of all, our right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. You are threatning we...
Granted, Russia coming to the defense of journalists is a little like Arby’s Twitter account writing a scathing review of a Michelin three-star restaurant, but here we are. We’ve fallen so far and so fast that Russia of all countries is now trolling us over press freedom and human rights:...
Let me begin this piece with a concession, my politics lean more in the direction of ANTIFA [anti-fascist] than Tea Partiers and the latest crop of give me Corona or give me death demonstrators. Also, I will concede that the potential for violence is a real concern when I see...
Oh, Wisconsin. Just when I start to feel a little pride in my home state, you snatch it away from me. I grew out of the rich loam and manure of the Badger State, and I encountered many a beer-spattered, fromage-festooned troglodyte along the way, so this doesn’t really surprise me...
Because the petition to blame Kansas for the 1918 Spanish Flu did so well. And even better, it’s a communist virus. Like Paul Krassner’s Realist urged in the 1960s: “Fuck Communism”. x “The CCP is the one to blame. History will definitely put it on a fair trial later on.â€ÂAn...

Sorry fellahs, but the precedent has been already set In its statement on Wednesday, the Trump Organisation said the UK would “create a dangerous precedent and send a terrible message to the world that the United Kingdom opposes free speech and has no interest in attracting inward investment” if Mr...
