So here's a fun thing.
President Donald Trump said the following at his inaugural address earlier this year:
After years and years of illegal and unconstitutional federal efforts to restrict free expression, I also will sign an executive order to immediately stop all government censorship and bring back free speech to America.
Never again will the immense power of the state be weaponized to persecute political opponents — something I know something about. We will not allow that to happen. It will not happen again.
Under my leadership, we will restore fair, equal, and impartial justice under the constitutional rule of law.
Of course it's clear now there should have been some provios attached to his statements.
We're seeing today the government teetering on the edge of major violations of the First Amendment. ABC and Disney share some of the blame in this spineless game, of course. There aren't any good guys anymore.
I took a screenshot of this portion of his speech, in case it's memory holed later, which I fully expect it will be.
One of my representatives -- Mike Simpson -- is on social media celebrating the potential erosion of our First Amendment freedoms. I sent him a polite missive I expect will be ignored. Meanwhile his "newsletter" is full of polls asking leading questions that expect the sheep to agree with Trump's policies. No thank you, sir. No thank you.
We really do live in the stupidest timeline.
