Hang on, didn’t the Right campaign on the evils of cancel culture??? Donald Trump and MAGA banged on about those on the Left limiting free speech. Now, in power the Trump regime is using its authority to effectively stifle Liberal comediennes like Jimmy Kimmel and getting the Late Show cancelled. Trump’s nutjob cabinet are threatening all and sundry with arrest for saying stuff they do not agree with. The hypocrisy of Trump is heinous. They are using this bogus antisemitism false flag to attack academics and students in US universities. Threatening them with ICE agents and taking away their right to live and work in the United States.
“ABC decision over Kimmel comments about Charlie Kirk’s killing comes hours after Trump-appointed chair of US media regulator threatened broadcaster’s license.”
Sucking Up To Trump
Meanwhile, spineless politicians like Keir Starmer are sucking up to Trump and King Charles is tagging along for good measure. Where is the moral rectitude in these ‘so-called’ leaders? No backbone in today’s Leftist leaders. Playing politics is all they know. They would not know about standing up for something they truly believed in. It is all paper thin or sound byte stuff. Donald Trump has manipulated the beliefs and feelings of his MAGA faithful. I mean, how dumb must you be to vote for a billionaire pretending to champion workers!
Free Speech? Remember That Trump?
I remember when the Right jumped up and down about protecting First Amendment free speech rights. The hypocrisy of Trump is breath taking folks! The MAGA dishonesty is off the scale. These people have no intention of honouring anything they say. A signed contract with Donald Trump is worthless. Just look at these tariffs imposed on Canada and Mexico when they had NAFTA, which was a Trump deal from his first administration. These are bad people who do not play by the rules. It is crazy to normalise this shit.
“What do you make of Pam Bondi saying she’s gonna go after hate speech? I mean, a lot of your allies say hate speech is free speech,” Karl asked.
“[I] should probably go after people like you, because you treat me so unfairly,” Trump replied. “You have a lot of hate in your heart. Maybe they’ll come after ABC.”

“The Trump administration has executed a wide-ranging crackdown on freedom of speech by targeting student protestors, lawyers and the press. Global Insight assesses the threat to the rule of law and what is being done to protect it.
On 8 March, recent Colombia University graduate Mahmoud Khalil was returning home from dinner with his eight-month pregnant wife when he was arrested and forced into an unmarked car by four agents from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Khalil, a legal resident in the US, had been a leader of the pro-Palestine protests on Colombia’s campus last spring. He is being held in a detention facility in Louisiana awaiting deportation and has not been charged with a crime.
‘They are targeting the most vulnerable people who are standing up for Palestinian rights,’ says Justin Mazzola, Deputy Director of Research at Amnesty International USA, which is working closely with the lawyers on Khalil’s case. ‘The idea is to basically get people to stop protesting what’s happening in Gaza.’ “
Letting Us All Down
Americans, Trump voting Americans, are facilitating the United States becoming an authoritarian state. Democracy has been diluted to the point that it is now an oligarchic regime. Humour was one of the few remaining points of resistance in the US and now this is under attack and being stifled by crony capitalism. Shame on you America, you have let the planet down, big time.
Trump Shoots The Messenger
“The Trump economy labour statistics fall to half as many jobs created as the Biden economy at the same time last year. In childish retaliation Donald Trump fires the official responsible for the statistics. Trump shoots the economic messenger. The American people under this authoritarian regime lose another objective guide to what is happening with their economy. The liar in the White House is wrecking the economy with his crazy tariffs creating uncertainty everywhere. Who can afford to invest when they don’t know what the f*** is going on? The US is heading for a huge fall via these globally unpopular economic policies.”
