The first amendment doesn’t allow this.
It also says that Congress must declare war. And yet three thousand people are already dead. And 50,000 are injured.
Doesnt matter to a large bloc of voting people becauae of another war with thousands injured happening in a different country, and the opponent had a weird, snorty laugh and spoke in a high pitch when excited.
The first amendment is just (on) a piece of paper. Will it be enforced against a constitution breaking executive? That is the question.
I’m sure they’ll send a strongly worded letter.
Late stage Weimar Republic vibe.
All fine and dandy, but they just won’t invite you to the next press conference anymore.
To be frank, I wasn’t being invited before.
Probably because you’re too frank.
Too be Frank
Checkmate, fascists!
We did it! We saved the country!
Is this the so called “Land of the free”?
Yes, it is the country with the 5th highest incarceration rate on the planet, and the
secondhighest total prison population“Look guys, the people are really all ate up about this slavery thing…I know, stupid…but anyway, what if we instead allowed slavery as punishment for a crime and then just started locking the poors up?”
“My god man, thats brilliant! Why, if we do that we dont even have to pay for their care ourselves! We can even put that expense on the poor people through taxes, thus increasing the chance that they will end up in jail and be available for slave labor!!”
“Dude, I know!! We wont even be forced to enslave people of a certain color, we’ll be able to enslave anyone!!!”
“But what if we dont have enough criminals to leverage?”
“Thats the best part! We make the laws so as long as we always have an easy way to lock people up, we’ll have more slaves than we ever had before the 13th amendment got passed!”
“God bless these United States!”
Hey now, don’t undersell them. Americans have always got to be #1 after all
The United States has the largest known prison population in the world. The country comprises 5% of the world’s population while having 20% of the world’s incarcerated persons. For comparison, China, with more than four times more inhabitants, has fewer persons in prison.[4][5]

Oh shit, I saw a bad source that said China was at 2 mil and thought “that makes sense, there’s like 4 times as many people there so the number would be higher”
And it isn’t even higher there lmao I hate my country
You’re missing the asterisk with a footnote saying, “If you’re a rich white male.”
“They’re Free to ask the right questions!!!”
“Do you have a plan for the war in Iran, sir?”
“TAKE HER STRAIGHT TO JAIL!”
America, everyone. The place I was born… Without choosing, to be clear.
The fact that we are unsure whether the highest court in the land will defend the constitution from these fragrantly illegal policies, is insane.
There is a guy at work that was trying to say that the west defeated fascism. That it was no longer a thing. A regime by any other name would smell just as rancid. Useful traitors for the regime.
Edit: Leaving the typo, it’s a funny joke.
Flagrantly
They stink too.

Yeah, I’m gonna leave it as is 😬

You should remind him that the west literally invented fascism, and that it never went away.
It’s OK to kill a fascist.
its a duty to.
Bob Vylan says it best…“No liberal lefty cunt is gonna tell me punching Nazis ain’t the way”
Goddamn snowflakes can’t actually answer a difficult or uncomfortable question because it might hurt their feefees.
Aww does Hegseth need a safe space?
Why would it be illegal for them to ask questions?
Oh that’s right, tyrannical fucking fascism now occupies the entire actual US fucking government. I still can’t believe this is really happening right now.
Not only are these dumb fucks villains they don’t even understand how cartoonishly villainous they look
Maybe they do - which is why W and Trump got re-elected.
“Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, […] you’re going to get selfish, ignorant leaders.” – George Carlin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBrbXOmnW70
There are a lot of hard truths in Carlin’s work.
they are real life parodies of shows that parody fascism. extremely over the top emotinally and literally, cartoonishly evil,etc. and thats why conservatives hate media that does this, they know its true. they love run of the mill copaganda/militaryganda, and Christianity themed propaganda.
Doesn’t matter, we don’t have a true fourth estate.
They have a press corp that could hardly be any more compliant as it is.
First amendment authorizes all questions.
I miss so much democracy in America.
You never had it. You had one party system with two parties.
So they don’t want their lies exposed, and they don’t want their own constituents to know the actual truth. They are scared that their absolute stupidity will be broadcast for all to see. Every Last American should be embarrassed and ashamed!!
This isn’t how mainstream media works. Not just any reporter can get in the White House press briefing and ask questions. They’ve been filtered long before they got there. This isn’t new to the Trump regime.
This isn’t about White House press briefings.
