This is what extortion looks like.

[berg80]

Not from the president abusing his power to try and influence her company into firing her. I don’t know why people are shy to use the word…. It is quite literally the definition of a fascist act by Trump

The implication here is if Netflix doesn't do what Dotard wants he will kill the Netflix-Warner Bros. merger. Meaning he is imposing a petty grudge against Rice in to a business deal..............as autocrats are want to do.

Yup, Trump supports can drop the BS act of being for small government. They very plainly want a king and they got the closest thing our Republic would allow. Now they are just stretching the boundaries

Trump demands Netflix fire Susan Rice as DOJ probes Warner deal​

President Donald Trump late Saturday called on Netflix to fire board member Susan Rice or “pay the consequences,” after she said Democrats would push for corporate accountability if they regain power in the November midterm elections.

What is “corporate accountability” and who and why is she to determine what corporations are ‘accountable’? That sounds like a statement of extortion. Corporations are accountable to their shareholder.

I try to stay away from that word when describing trump and trumples. But Don is clearly trying to control businesses like no other prez before him. Who they merge with, who they hire and fire, what they say publicly. It does have its origins in fascism.

And Susan Rice isn't?

Democrats are the party of control get real

You need to read her statement again. If you are still confused I'll be glad to help.

See post #46.

It’s very clear, “reward our friends and punish our enemies.” She’s misusing the word “accountable” because when you hold someone accountable, that means you have a sense of personal accountability. Not the case here. It is simply revenge and paybacks.

“There is likely to be a swing in the other direction, and they are going to be caught with more than their pants down,” Rice told Preet Bharara, a former U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York. “They’re going to be held accountable by those who come in opposition to Trump and win at the ballot box.”

She added, “If these corporations think that Democrats, when they come back in power, are going to play by the old rules, and say, ‘Never mind, we will forgive you for all the people you fired and all the policies and principles you violated, all the laws you skirted,’ I think they got another thing coming.”

Enforcing the rule of law is what responsible governance looks like.

like ICE is doing?

trump's 'Gestapo'?


(any idea how insane that sounds to sane people?)

Who is 'Chump?

the moron you're responding to

 

[Frankeneinstein]

NO. I am accusing the Trump administration of going much further to restrict free speech than the Biden administration, or any other administration in the history of the United States.

which of course is a semantical claim as "racism" [along with a stream of other 'isms'] has not only been used by white liberals to silence speech but to a far greater extent than even that, from everything to over feeding minorities so as to be responsible for obesity when arguing fast food pro's and cons, to claiming "climate change" is disproportionately affecting minorities around the world and it is the fault of industrial nations to Johnny getting a "C" in macrame class...There has been no greater threat to speech than a white liberal wielding their "racist everything and everythting racist" sword with a complicit media all to happy to do the dirty work...
...so you can make the claim that trump is the most dangerous "administration" to free speech [ he may very well be] but I suspect there is good reason you worded it that way...
the constitutions intent was to protect unpopular speech as the correct/"popular" speech needed no such protections, as is the usual, white liberals with complicit old white male judges found a way to skirt the constitution.

Susan Rice threatened Republicans with retribution next time democrats get back in power.
She needs to see what that would feel like.

But I thought Trump was no threat to freedom of the press?

 

[Lockback]

He's not.
Susan Rice, however, is a Deep State operative who's highly dangerous to American freedom.

‘all the policies and principles you violated, all the laws you skirted,’

Ok, list out the laws that were skirted. Or, better yet, cut the moral authority bullshit and come clean that you are simply going to get revenge.

 

[White 6]

The networks and media have been infiltrated by far-left Marxist thinking. The they push equity under the guise of equality. People are getting tired of the same old politically correct bullshit, like making sure there is always a mixed race couple in commercials or by substituting a black in a traditionally white movie or substituting a woman in what would have been a traditionally male role. Ever notice how men are always portrayed as numbskulls in a lot of commercials while the female always has it 'all together?' It's just wrong, misandrist, sickening and racist however, since the Democrats control the main stream media and they are proven to be racist and show a hatred of maleness, that is what we get.

The media in general have continued to speak out against the extreme overreach and tactics of this president's move to centralize control of the country, overriding the checks and balances designed by the framers of our constitution, with support of MAGA politician lapdogs of the president, his garnering control over media, news, communication (networks, news reporting, be it TV network, internet and print media) curtailing freedom of speech, by government control at forced cooperation of wealthy elites wanting to be granted favors for their contributions, not to forget the presidents close involvement in Epstein's kiddy sex/human trafficking ring. He and his administration have continued to attempt cover-up, stalling and redacting files ordered released by both houses of Congress. It is for these reasons, handling and brutal masked gestapo tactics of his DHS during the immigration crackdown, his job approval is in the toilet, and why there will be a (most likely monumental) blue wave in the November Mid-Term elections, due to his MAGA enablers in Congress. America is rejecting his majesty and efforts go against constitutional norms, and become supreme leader.

 

[Blisterfinger]

Gee, I had thought of trumples more as authoritarians but have it your way.

I present Joe Biden

 

[Blisterfinger]

Trump isnt expressing disagreement. He is actively using threats from the power of his political position to get her fired. Fascist

She is a liar and needs to be fired.

 

[kyzr]

But I thought Trump was no threat to freedom of the press?

Susan Rice is not the press.
Trump has daily press conferences on AF-1, the most accessible president in history.
Rice is the one making threats against Americans.

Total bullshit. How exactly has Trump centralized control of the country? Do you think shutting down the border was centralizing control? Or maybe you think bringing law, and order to places like Minneapolis was centralizing power. Maybe you think the cleaning up DC is centralizing power. Why can’t you admit you just don’t like Trump?
