Trump: 'It's no longer free speech.'

President Trump said that regulators should consider revoking the licenses of broadcasters that air negative coverage or commentary of him, indicating that his assault on critics' language is motivated at least in part by personal animus. nyti.ms/3W2Jz8p

"It was not immediately clear what statistics or laws he was referencing."

The ones he made up inside his makeup poisoned skull.

We all knew this was coming.

Trump really wants to be dictator before he dies.

"When 97 percent of the stories are bad about a person"

It's possible that that person is really bad.

Trump's mental illness will never permit him to see that he is disliked.

No matter what he does or how he does it.

I take his use of the word "illegal" means he's already told A.G. Bondi to start drawing up a more narrow new line between free and hate so it will fit Trump's definition of "hate" that his attorneys can argue vigorously in court ~ with proof provided by the DOJ so it doesn't appear personal.

Trump is sneaky. He's using the government to do his dirty work.

Jeff posted this right?

No?

We finally have real censorship and Jeff isn't posting 10 articles a day about it?

Odd... but not really odd.

---- Trump and his poorly educated followers.

Maybe all the stories about Trump are negative because he's a stupid fat angry moron who does nothing but spread hate and division.

---- Trump.

Like Mattis and Kelly said, fascist to his core.
Like his former VP said, Trump is not competent to be President.

Meet the Press put together a clip of Trump vowing in January to "bring back free speech to America," followed by him saying last Friday that negative coverage of him is "no longer free speech"

Saying that "Kristie Noam's is gonna have a bad day" is now considered a "death threat" by these desperate despicable snowflake cultists.

Only Dear Leader is allowed to say things like that.

If you even think mean thoughts about Trumpy's minions you should report to the Ministry of Reeducation immediately.

For Democracy.

If we say something snarky about Trump's bald spot showing through his thinning egotistical combover, is that hate speech?

Is the truth hate speech?

Is the Drudge Retort "the media?"

But, but... but Biden ASKED Facebook to block MISinformation! THAT was censorship!

~MAGA morons everywhere

It's worse. We're actually talking about MALinformation: schittt that could kill you if you followed it.

Did you notice Zuckerberg NEVER STATED what the government wanted taken down? He would've had e every reason to give examples...provided the requests were unreasonable.

In this case, it was probably a Here's How To Inject Bleach website.

Or maybe it was the You can't overdose on Ivermectin guy...who eventually died from an Ivermectin overdose.

MALINFORMATION.

If he promises to die immediately after the dictatorial swearing-in ceremony, we should consider it.
