    I’m starting to think that 1A speech Trump posted out via RFK on YT, the one with the giant green crayon subtitles, was a directive list for his oligarchs, not really intended for mass consumption, just them and the legislators who worship at his altar.

    No one’s talking about it, not even here, but these guys are doing it.

      Frankly, they might be idiots, they might be anti-vaxxers, they might be flat-earthers from anything, they might be fascists.

      But if what they are starting with is removing mechanisms and not putting new ones, and removing those that sucked anyway, - then maybe a tree is known by its fruit.

      Admittedly I’m typing this from Moscow.

        Trump specifically said fact checking was wrong and an infringement on free speech.

          Yeah, while it’s not, referring to some authority telling you what’s right and what’s wrong is, in fact, not fact checking.

          You can’t trust humans to get such fundamental things right. The more important it is, the more they want to do something stupid.
