because he wanted to show off a secret police like Hitler did with the SS. Ice is not trained to protect the president of vice president that Secret Service job and if I was Secret Service, I’d be fucking pissed. And he was booed at the Olympics. United States politicians shouldn’t even leave the country right now because they’re going to get nothing but fucking bullshit. Deservingly In a single year, we went from being the country that all our allies could count on and praised for our democracy to look at now like a fascist country who no one can rely on and is again deservingly afraid of.

If you expect freedom of speech and discourse on Twitter/x, you're sadly mistaken. You might as well start wearing a MAGA hat too.

Fuck Elon Musk!

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

It's the North Korean version of "social media".

Isn’t musk the guy who says there is no free press in the EU and constantly vomits out irrational arguments against “censorship” in Europe ?

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

The right always uses double speak. They want rules for thee not for me. Everything they accuse other of is things they are doing or intend to do

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

He's the same dumbass that was claiming that the left wanted to make comedy "illegal" (lol, what a load - the times when comedy was being made illegal was when conservatives were persecuting people like Lenny Bruce and George Carlin, so idiots like fElon can fuck right off with that "comedy is illegal" claptrap) and then had people banned for making fun of him on xitter.

As usual, these people are so full of shit.

[–] thorhop@sopuli.xyz 39 points 1 day ago

Whenever he says "censorship", replace the word with "regulations".

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Brought to you by fElon the "free speech absolutist".

JD Vance, the least charismatic man in politics and definitely the least charismatic man to wear eyeliner, defended by the virgin-techno-bro-pedo-alpha-male-snowflake-“comedy is illegal” elite. Imagine feeling the need to defend JD Vance so much that you block videos on the social network you own. So alpha! So tough! Free speech forever!

I was so hype to get on my high horse about how fedi is better, but alas:

Tradeoffs, I suppose.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 35 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's your client, the videoworks on the website.

[–] CombatWombatEsq@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Likely, or maybe my instance. It’ll probably come through eventually.

Edit: but it’s definitely not because it’s being censored, which is what is important!

Why is immigration and customs enforcement doing the Secret Service’s job?

[–] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 46 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Because ICE was created to be a police force without any of the standard safeguards from the beginning. And the leadership now consists almost exclusively of Trump sycophants who will do whatever he wants without regard to reality or laws. So Trump loves them.

[–] Zephorah@discuss.online 10 points 1 day ago

Well, yes. But the question deserves to be asked often in order to point that out.

[–] MrSulu@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Vance married a Hindu Indian and said publically that he'd want her to convert to Christianity. What next? He'd want her and any children to take bleach baths to deal with their unfortunate genetic brown-ism.

[–] Jack_Burton@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's being set up so he can divorce her without his "Christian" base getting upset. He'll pull some bs about "no longer being able to live in sin after trying and failing to save her soul" in the lead up to 2028 then hook up with Kirk.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 5 points 1 day ago

He's not going to get the succession. No one likes him, that's why the president chose him, because he knew they wouldn't feel safe shunting the president aside to have puppet vance in there. He won't hold the base together, he's not charismatic.

So he can do any and all of that, at most he gets to be nominal leader until the next election. I wonder who will get it, Kennedy would be the favoritie but because of his voice I can't see him getting it. The politician choices are all lacking in charisma.

[–] Bullerfar@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

Hahaha, fuck Vance man.

[–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

However, I do love the idea that some staffer had to call the copyright office and had to file an emergency copyright claim on booing Vance.

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 14 points 1 day ago

Ah yes.
"Free Speech"

[–] SlimePirate@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I am trying to hear the boos but I just hear noise

[–] cybernihongo@reddthat.com 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So it wasn't just me then.

[–] SlimePirate@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

I suppose maybe if you have the whole show you can compare with the applause noises, but standalone I hear nothing xD
