So POLITICIAN Trump can trash any American he wants (on social media) but comedians can't/shouldn't tell jokes about him. Is that really where we are?

Old people’s skin is a sensitive. Trumps has always been very thin. Now it’s almost 80 years old, crepey and covered in orange makeup. But still thin.
 
Mark Twain once said, “Never pick a fight with people who buy ink by the barrel”. Today, we are being shown that picking a fight with those who own the media waves is proving to be a negative option for those who believe in free speech.

Found this on a friend's Facebook page

The brutal assassination of conservative activist and organizer Charlie Kirk in Utah wasn’t just another awful headline, it was America making the transition into that second tier on the way toward civil war or a police state. You don’t have to like his views to see that this is part of the transition from public debate to public violence.

Conflict trackers that normally study civil wars abroad are now publishing monthly briefs on our own streets, and their July readout flagged spikes tied to political flashpoints and the growing risk of lone-wolf attacks.

That’s the tremor you feel underfoot; it’s a warning that a nation has been seized by authoritarians and could be on the verge of civil war.

Every day, we see and/or read another tale showing just how fragile is the President's ego. The slightest criticism and he begins ranting about shutting down that critic's access to public media.

Do you MAGAs really want someone like Gavin Newsom (POLITICIAN) to crush Republican speech if he wins?

Would you like some time to think this through?

Trump can kiss my entire ass.

So can all the MAGAs who think free speech is too mean.

MAGAs are communists, if course they want to halt all criticism of Dear Leader and Party.

Trump can call for a firing squad to shoot Liz Cheney in the face, and it's okay with MAGA.

A comedian who hosts a late-night TV show, though, isn't afforded free speech latitude that approaches trump's.

Yet again, MAGA exposes its double standard.

And I think that list is only through 2019 or something.

It's way way way way way way way way way way way way way longer now but comedians can't tell jokes.

The reality is, Trump is a dictator. He hasn't become full blown yet because we still have a variety of checks and balances. But they are dwindling.

In Donnie-2-Dolls mind, he wants power like Un or Putin and I think he believes it will come. Every day with this guy is yet another power grab.

The sad reality is if we don't stop Trump with whatever means it takes; we will become Russia. I don't know about all you folks, but I don't want to become Russia.

(And Trump is not doing this by himself. The Heritage Foundation wrote the authoritarian playbook and are right there with him every single day supervising)

No, which is why they want the MAGA party to rig the system so that they never have to worry about that.

It's HuffPo, so grano salis, but I just finished reading it, and it makes a good case that the Trump regime's legal arguments about ICE are a back door to militarizing elections:

The Alarming Connection Between Trump's Military Deployments And Free Elections

Trump’s legal arguments in a case challenging his deployment of troops to U.S. cities could disable laws banning the military from interfering in elections.

Or contest the results such that House and Senate refuse to seat newly-elected members. The military would be brought in to deal with the resultant protests.
