Right Continues Crusade to Censor Speech

Wednesday, September 17, 2025

The Trump administration is using the killing of bigoted conservative activist Charlie Kirk to justify a crackdown on a purported network of left-wing agitators in America, but a stream of evidence continues to undermine their false narrative.

The right is trying to criminalize people who tell the truth about one of their beloved figures, but it will not change the reality of what he stood for.

They should just plonk everybody they don't agree with, or add them to their 'k*ll list' ..oops 'k*ll file'. Is the thought that counts.
In communism, the citizen censors off-narrative information.

I forget he only cares if Dems are censoring fake doctors, foreign agents, and calls for violence.

wow!!! the left has been trying to sensor speech for as long as I can remember. back in the Clinton years Bill and Hillary and Company tried to shut down opposing views all the time, especially Rush Limbaugh. May not have agreed with Rush, but he had the right of Free Speech!! And, so did Charlie Kirk, and the Left killed him for it

So, you are saying that both sides do it (supposedly) so it's OK to do?

That makes it alright?

Even your Whatabouisms suck.

You are such a pathetic troll. You actively cheered a censorship regime for 4 years. Shut up and sit in the corner and feel shame.

As for this ... Bondi has been getting blasted over this by all sorts of conservative pundits along with NRO. I don't know about other outlets - busy day today and I haven't had time to check. Unlike Sycophant, I oppose ALL efforts by our government to engage in censorship regardless of which party is making the effort.

That's right. We all stayed up late one night and watched old movies, munching popcorn, and decided that we'd just up and kill Charlie Kirk.

And we couldn't find anyone better than that sad college dropout to do it for us.

"You actively cheered a censorship regime for 4 years."

You've made that claim dozens of times, and dozens of times you've been asked to point to ONE EXAMPLE.

So far, zero-for-everything.

You're not even batting above The Mendoza Line.

Meanwhile, Trump LITERALLY STATES HE's WEAPONIZING the Justice Department, and you don't make a peep.

STFD and STFU.

Biden set a bad president.

It's too bad zuckerpussy didn't tell them to pound sand. What he did then and what he's doing now is shit, but I digress.

There are better solutions for dealing with assholes who present demonstrateable bullshit as legitimate news.

But, like a lot of things these days, this is unhinged.

President was obviously a hilarious pun, and definitely not an error.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

" It's too bad zuckerpussy didn't tell them to pound sand."

Zucker never mentioned WHAT was "censored", when there was every reason to ... unless it was embarrassing to Zuck, of course.

Since Zuck avoided the specifics, the only logical conclusion is, it was about the impossibility of overdosing on ivermectin.

Basically, the Tide Pods challenge of COVID.

You've been given tons of evidence. Twitter files. Zuckerberg's own admission. For starters. More has come out since. I can lead you to water but can't make you drink.

Between you and I this discussion long ago became circular.

Biden should have kicked fox news out of the white house when they pled in court that they're just entertainment not news.

As for him asking facebook and twitter to censor russian propaganda, what is the problem with that. He actually did far too little to combat russia's espionage attacks.

Then I'll tag in.

If the government finds that online platforms are being used by america's enemies to harm america, what is the government's duty in that situation?

Be honest, at some point in your life you were a WWE fan. It was WWF when I was a fan.
