Trump Dictatorship and All Things Politics

Im sure our die hard trumpies are pretty stoked that we have a Muslim country builing a military post in our country after bribing the president. I love to hear all the silly justification for things you would absolutely lose your ****ing marbles over if it was a democrat president. Any of the 100s of things trump has done would be front page in every paper and everyone republcian going ******* crazy and red in the face non stop. Imagine if a democrat polling person bought the election machines and was in charge of it. Imagine if Biden cut funding to people who didnt vote for him. I could probably easily get a list to around 1000 items if you flipped which party did it would be the most awful thing a president ever did and would make him evil in every maga dough brain out there.
 

A Port of Seattle spokesperson said the “political nature” of Noem’s video is why it won’t be playing for travelers at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

“The Port of Seattle will not play the video on its screens at SEA airport, due to the political nature of the content,” the spokesperson told the Seattle Times, adding, “We continue to urge bipartisan efforts to end the government shutdown and are working to find ways to support federal employees working without pay at SEA during the shutdown.”

A Portland International Airport official argued that the video might violate the Hatch Act, which restricts federal employees from engaging in certain political activities.

“We didn’t consent to playing it, as we believe the Hatch Act clearly prohibits using public assets for political purposes and messaging,” the official told a local ABC News affiliate.

“Additionally, Oregon law states that no public employee can promote or oppose any political committee, party, or affiliation. We believe consenting to playing this video on Port assets would violate Oregon law,” the official added.
 
Good luck, Pete. What a dope. Authoritarians and their lackeys always try to control information, rewrite History, and in general are enemies of Truth.


Major television networks – including War Secretary Pete Hegseth’s former employer Fox News – are expected to release a joint statement rejecting a Trump administration order that will sharply curtail press freedom at the Pentagon.

The move follows a late Friday memo from Hegseth demanding reporters sign a new “In-Brief for Media Members” agreement or surrender their Pentagon access cards by Tuesday.

The order forbids journalists from soliciting tips, photographing, or even sketching what they see inside the building.

Networks are coordinating through the Pentagon press pool to issue a unified response to publicly oppose the measure, according to Status’ Oliver Darcy.

Darcy reported Tuesday that Fox News, where Hegseth worked for almost a decade prior to his nomination, has “no plans to agree to the draconian rules,” citing sources.

The move will set up “a showdown with his former employer,” according to Darcy.

Darcy’s reporting was later backed up by CNN’s chief media analyst Brian Stelter, who wrote in his Reliable Sources newsletter, “CNN has already said that its journalists will not accept the new restrictions. I’m told that Fox News, NBC, ABC, CBS and CNN will issue a joint statement later today saying much the same thing.”

The push by Hegseth has now been panned across the board by newspapers and networks — such as The New York Times, The Atlantic, CNN, Newsmax and The Guardian — with the only outlet reportedly agreeing to the new terms being One America News.

The Pentagon Press Association condemned the policy, saying: “This Wednesday, most Pentagon Press Association members seem likely to hand over their badges rather than acknowledge a policy that gags Pentagon employees and threatens retaliation against reporters who seek out information that has not been pre-approved for release.”
