Trump's War on the First Amendment

[Whiskey]

Can we stop pretending now that this was anything but the president using the power[ of the FCC to silence voices he doesn't like?



Summation

"I have already successfully extorted ABC due to political targeting, and now I plan to do it again!"

Is that a quote? Or a conclusion based on assumptions? Because if that is a quote we are all victims. If it is not a quote then we are all just amused.

Sorry about your reading comprehension problem Whiskey, but the cheeto just showed by his own words that this is about silencing political dissent, and not actually about Charlie Kirk --- now look at this new ballroom.

So it is an actual quote? Just trying to comprehend your post. Unlikely I will ever be able to do that. Just help a dummy out and tell me if that is an actual quote or no.

I've been saying for some time now that the broad categories of motivation for Trump support is a mix of ignorance, stupidity, belligerence and insanity, in that order.

It's becoming obvious that insanity is a much bigger slice of the pie. The air is cloying with the smell of fruitcake.

Oh great. Summation in your words or Trump’s? Seeing the quotes and all, makes it really challenging for a stupid guy like me. It looks like it could just be your conclusion, not a quote.

I can help Whiskey/Binger out. Here’s the wording from Trump:

“I think we're going to test ABC out on this. Let's see how we do. Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative.”

We could ask Binger what the apparent difference is between Trump’s quote and your summation. I’ll get started on a 10000-piece puzzle to give him time to repeatedly dodge the question. : )

Hey dummy, try reading what they post and actually responding to that next time. And yes, you were obviously threatening him, because he makes you feel stupid, so you hate him. And you are stupid. Just so you know.

Yes, he did threaten me twice, and I agree with those who argue that he should be suspended. If he had threatened anyone else in the same way, I would be saying the same thing. Any poster who resorts to thinly veiled threats to the livelihood of others, especially at a time when we know that a number of people are hunting out political opponents for retribution, should be suspended from the board. It is time to "lower the temperature." Sometimes a time-out is the best medicine. Markk is welcome to share his dumb opinions here freely, but when he threatens people, he has worn out his welcome for the time being.

Yup, that was a threat addressed to Kishkumen, and that was underlined by his later posts. Markk should be suspended for that in my view. Can we have a ruling from the Mods, please?

This warrants a ban in my opinion. It’s actually a breach of two important board rules. It contains in real life information and contains an in real life threat. We cannot have posters bringing threats of real life harassment to the board. I’ve reported the post and I think a public notification of what action is taken is also warranted on this occasion.

Markk violated our board rules in this thread, and I've seen nothing to indicate he won't make another threat.
