Don Lemon, journalist, after his arrest by the Cankles
regime:
“I have spent my entire career covering the news. I will not
stop now. There is no more important time than right now, this very moment, for
a free and independent media that shines a light on the truth and holds those
in power accountable. Last night, the DOJ [Department of Justice] sent a team
of federal agents to arrest me in the middle of the night for something that
I’ve been doing for the last 30 years, and that is covering the news. The First
Amendment of the Constitution protects that work, for me and for countless
other journalists who do what I do. I stand with all of them, and I will not be
silenced.”
No one should be silenced.
If you like Don Lemon or not the idea that a journalist can be
arrested because a diaper soiling, nap taking, racist, rapist, fascist sociopath
got his Pampers™ twisted is un-American and unless you want all media silenced vote
the regime and all its Congressional lapdogs out of office.

Love that story about the Mexican restaurant refusing to serve ICE.
ReplyDeleteNice way to stand up!!
DeleteI was just about to type that same comment!
ReplyDeleteIt definitely made me smile.
DeleteI don't know a lot about Bad Bunny, but I do know he's extremely popular and he's a citizen of the United States. I'm sick of the complaints about him appearing during the Super Bowl halftime show. I know someone whose eight-year-old grandchild was so frightened that she cowered in a Mexican restaurant because the workers there spoke Spanish. I asked the little girl if she'd like me to speak some Spanish. NO! she said. Where does a child learn that people from Mexico or Puerto Rico and the language they speak should be feared? At home. It makes me sick. These are the people who don't want Bad Bunny to perform and they teach children that people who speak Spanish can't be US citizens. I can't be friends with those people.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Cultists raising children to fear Spanish.
Deletexoxo
But isn't Spanish taught in your schools?
DeleteIt's one of several languages taught in American schools but Spanish is not required learning.
DeleteNot a huge fan of Bad Bunny - not because he speaks spanish, not because h's from PR, I'm simply not into his genre. But I WILL tune in to watch --- just to boost the numbers, because MAGATs can go suck it.
ReplyDeleteLemmon and 3 other journalists arrested. All people of color. Huh, might be some kind of pattern here....
I, too, am not a true fan, but I like what he stands for and I hope he brings that stance to the show!!
DeleteEnglish, Irish, Welsh, German, French, all of both sides of my family are immigrants from someplace. I remember studying the history of the USA as the great melting pot.
ReplyDeleteUnless you're a direct descendent of a native person, you are an immigrant to this country and that's one of the great things about America; diversity!!!
DeleteBad Bunny's going to break a record with his half-time show and Republicans are going to shit bricks. I understand that's very painful.
ReplyDeleteAnd I will be watching ... not the game, though, cuz I don't really do the volleyball.
DeleteBad Bunny also said ICE out during his speech.
ReplyDeleteLove him. I've danced to him for years and he's been in my Spotify top then for months now. I don't watch football but will watch the half time show.
Lemon is fighting the good fight. Let's make sure we follow him in his platforms. Journalism cannot die in the dark.
XOXO
If you hate the way ICEstapo operates, then you must vote Blue.
DeleteIf you hate the way the press is attacked, you must vote Blue,
If you hate the millions being spent on Cankles' vanity projects while lower income Americans can't afford the basic necessities, you must vote Blue.
The GOP will fix nothing.

I was in hospital today and was chatting to one of the nurses. She comes from the Philippines and has family in the US. They are frightened to go out, whether it's to shopping, school or work. It is obscene to think that it is the US government making them feel that way. Down with Donald Duck!
ReplyDeleteCarlos, an American citizen for thirty years, also worries about going out, even when he goes to the courthouse to translate.

ReplyDeletexoxo :-)
😀😀😀
DeleteYes, let's go after all people that commit crimes - even if they are white and have big bank accounts.
ReplyDeleteExactly!
DeleteFrightening the populace is not the way to win friends and influence people.
ReplyDeleteNo, it isn't, though in places and at times, it works.
DeleteAmerica is like East Europe under Stalin, when people feared going to work and going to shop. Even wary of speaking to neighbors who might be informants.
ReplyDeleteICE acts like the dreaded AVH of Hungary of that time. Or in later years the Stasi of East Germany, the Securitate of Romania and the paramilitary Vopos of Poland.
Yes, the Republicans have created the very Communist police state they supposedly abhor.

Every GOP accusation is an admission.
DeleteWhatever they say they stand against is what they really want.
I don't think it is a special ability of mine, but I am getting to know just by seeing their photos who is MAGA and who isn't. Does the internal ugliness ooze out through their pores?
ReplyDeleteEven without the hats they are sometimes easy to spot.
DeleteStrong words from so many. Today IQ45 illustrated his racism by posting a video containing a clip of the Obamas with their faces superimposed on the bodies of apes. Voices matter, as the post has been deleted, after an outcry from both Democrats, Republicans and everyday Americans. This after Leavitt tried to normalize it.
ReplyDeleteThey show us who they are, when will we all start to believe them?
DeleteAnd do not get me started on good "Christian" KKKarolying Leavitt
Shit floats, but only for so long. Trumpenfuhrer, his administration and the GOP deserve to be flushed permanently, preferably into maximum security prisons.
ReplyDeleteLet's all pull the lever and flush that entire family and criminal regime!
DeleteThank you to these people.
ReplyDeleteI will NEVER understand the colour problem. People are people no matter what colour they are. And how many white people spend hours getting tanned every summer? And use sunbeds in winter? How many use cosmetics to add a little colour to their sheet white faces? As for the immigrants, like others have said, we are all immigrants, and all countries have immigrants.
Sadly, racism has been around forever and will be around forever as long as hateful people still breed and indoctrinate their children.
DeleteBravo, Bernie! So true. And Don Lemon is absolutely in the right and no court in the world is going to convict him.
