Here’s what YouGov got when it asked Americans if they support or oppose letting courts shut down news media outlets for publishing stories that are “biased or inaccurate.” Looks like we’ll have to hold off on taunting the left for being free-speech disasters on “hate speech” from now on....

“He gazed up at the enormous face. Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark moustache. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother”


This is what happens when a people have no use for principles and only want to 'win'.  They embrace and become despots themselves.

I am not aware of a "despotic" action taken by President Trump.

Your derogatory commentary about "a people" are very imprecise, and seem to exhibit a "better than" attitude by yourself towards others.

My father and my FIL 'only wanted to win' when they served this country in combat during WWII.

The culture and political war we are currently in are not much different.

For all of his faults, Trump is trying to take us in the right direction.

What the hell is it with you people? 

Trump's name was not mentioned at all.  The OP was not about Trump.  But somehow - people like you have to make everything about Trump and those of us who don't bend the knee to Trump.

I was referring to the mobs of people like you who made him your clown your prince and have adopted the very tactics of despotism the Left likes to trial balloon to intimidate and silence critics.

Despotic things like using the government and the courts to shut down media reporting they don't like because it doesn't fawn all over their political messiah.

If your Crown Prince is taking us in that 'right direction', to shut down the 1st Amendment because you deem it 'warfare' - you just validated our 'derogatory comment' of despot as applied to both Trump and yourself.

You can go cry to the mods now about how unfair my comment is.

How many people are in that group,  like 10?

More than that said they joined on a FR thread in the first hour after the story was posted.

Oh I see. My Crown Prince is just one of many ideas, apparently running through your mind.

Mark that down as a reminder to self: steer clear of that fantasy zone.

You totally overlooked/avoided my reference which likened WWII to our current cultural/political war.

Then you are or are not advocating for a gov't take over of the press?

You're the guy who brought up Trump in a thread that did not even mention him.  So you can thank yourself for that idea running through my mind.

You totally overlooked/avoided my reference which likened WWII to our current cultural/political war.

We're not supposed to reference anything from WWII that can be construed to be a comparison of current politics and then - by the insistence of your fellow EverTrumpers.

yes I edited it

I couldn't get any idea, you just started going off about Trump and I have not a clue what *he* has to do with this article since it was talking about the courts.

Can you not control yourself?  Yesterday you told someone to "Jump" off Mt Rushmore and today you're calling someone a penis?

   That is totally uncalled for @DCPatriot and a sure sign that you have either lost the argument or the ability to reason.

I am perfectly fine and content to be called a 'condescending little penis' by the likes of him.

It illustrates his character perfectly.

Don't forget your own post (I edited it out of the quotation above so as to not add additional work)!

I'd leave it.  We're all adults here and some folks just cannot help but illustrate how juvenile and childish their character really is.

I'm not bothered by it.  If that is what he thinks of me, so be it.  Let him espouse it and showcase his character for everyone to measure.
