So you can't name a single MAGA policy that you object to. A Pity. Do have a pleasant afternoon

Well, Kash Patel says he wants to use the government to go after media for expressing speech they don’t like, which is pretty fascist if you ask me.

What to know about Kash Patel, Trump’s pick to lead the FBI

Kash Patel has called for radical changes at the FBI and was a fierce and vocal critic of the bureau’s work as it investigated ties between Russia and Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign

Is that a real policy? Who knows. He said it. No one knows if these losers actually mean what they say.

Which would you prefer? Gov't going after media for lying, or gov't going after a presidential candidate because the current candidate doesn't stand a chance in hell running against him in the general election?

I'd prefer the former.

We'll see. Patel has said he wants to go after media and others that deliberately rigged the 2020 election. But that was before he was appointed to a position of great power. I can't imagine he and Trump have not head serious discussions about what the policies will be and Trump is STRONGLY against prosecuting political opponents for no other reason than they are opponents. Or even for crimes that make no difference to anybody.

But the media is so powerful and so important for a free, strong, secure, prosperous America, perhaps serious law breaking should be addressed there. I don't know. We'll see how it goes.

I prefer neither.

Pretty easy decision.

Trust me, you do not want to live in today's Germany with the economy in a free fall. You will not like the record high electricity prices or the wind turbines and solar panels in your front yard.
You will not like the little girls raped by immigrants.
You will not like to live in an over crowded tiny state

Same as what's going on here.

At least they have good food and mass-transit

Like I said, you can’t accept anything anyone has said. Nothing means anything anymore.

But the idea that the media could “rig” an election by engaging in free speech is so absurd it demonstrates how bad of a choice Kash Patel is. I don’t care what you “imagine”, because it’s not based in any factual. As far as Trump goes, he’s perfectly in favor of punishing those who engage in speech he doesn’t like.

So there’s another policy proposal that I disagree with. It’s pretty fascist of him to say that. I’m sure you have another excuse to ignore the actual words from the actual person.

My mom lived to 93........and she was still handicapped since she was 40.

But then again the food that our kids are eating is nothing like the food we had back when I was a kid,

The DEI and so many other things like Trump getting more than 25% of the black male vote and the illegals turned out to be useless to their voting power so...

the democrats are rethinking their agenda.

One would hope the democrats are rethinking their agenda but reading the screeching tirades of the leftist buffoons on this board, they're actually doubling down on their agenda of fear, hate and superstition.

Not so according to what we saw with leftist controlled Facebook, Google and other leftist media which decided to selectively censor free speech.

Nobody said anybody rigged an election with free speech. That is pretty impossible to do. And Trump never called for the FCC to revoke anybody's broadcast license. All he said is anybody as dishonest as ABC and CBS should lose their licenses. That's no different than saying 'he should be hung' or 'she should be in jail' or 'he should be horsewhipped' or 'he should be coronated king.' It isn't a statement of policy. It's a statement of opinion.

That's the different between dishonest interpretations of what somebody says and intellectually honest interpretations of what somebody says. ABC and CBS and probably the FCC chair have not been honest about much for quite some time now.

So yes, you agree that the leftist media engages in selective censorship. You just happen to agree who is being censored.

the issue of ownership will likely end up in the courts

This isn’t an issue of free speech. It’s an ownership issue. Of course and authoritarian like you thinks you can force them to do your bidding.

it actually is a free speech issue. It's in line with a core principle of the 1st Amendment and the ''marketplace of ideas''. Your politico- religious ideology is one of fear and revulsion of competing ideas. Your dem / Leninist ideology is one of totalitarianism and censorship.

You're like a little, mini, Iranian mullocrat. Because you can't defend your ideology, you want to censor any and all criticism of it.
