    Do some actually pro-America stuff to report on first. Or does he think that the tail wags the dog ?

    I do not pledge allegiance to a fascist country. I haven't placed my hand over my heart in 10 years. I would sooner burn the flag than pledge.

    I have also instructed my children to no longer pledge either.

    I know in many ways this is an attempt to brainwash folks into ultranationalism, however I also believe its more so an attempt at a "gotchya" that doesn't work anymore.

    I remember when they started forcing us in highschool to do the pledge every day, and anyone who opposed it was being chastised as an anti-American and "ungrateful to the brave soldiers who fought for our 'right' to pledge".

    I don't think these stupid assholes are gonna have that same "gotchya" anymore. I think more people than ever agree the ultranationalism in the US is cringe, fascist and based in lies.

    I did the pledge of allegiance in elementary school. You just did it. It was unthinkable not to. Then they stopped with that bullshit.

    Then I learned they changed the pledge to add the under god part and that was the moment I realized it had all been bullshit propaganda.

    At least his stupid coffee mug was relatable. I literally can’t think of another FCC chair.

    Tom Wheeler was FCC chair under Obama. He was a VC and telecom industry lobbyist, so obviously he's going full regulatory capture and letting the industry squeeze us dry right? Turns out he changes his mind, rules in favor of Title II, and ushers in Net Neutrality in the US. Crazy stuff.

    Ten years later the Roberts Supreme Court comes through and undoes all of it. Because fucking of course they did.

    I remember seeing a sketch some number of years ago about a time travler warning his past self about Betsy DeVos and the past version was shocked that things got bad enough that he knew who the secretary of education was.

    Fuckin-A man… I’ve never known who the secretary of HHS was, this is the second dept of Education secretary I’ve know the name of (the first was DeVos).

    You don’t normally hear about the competent ones…

    American history lessons on Native American genocide, the Trail of Tears, slavery, Jim Crow, Black Wall Street, segregation

    Inspirational American stories of immigrants, civil rights leaders, and queer activists

    There's a lot of room here.

    Hahahaha no.

    This is how you force secularity on the population. I think they don’t have as much support as they think they have. Most people don’t want their weird paedophilic religion.

    Pro America programming:

    Free and fair elections are a cornerstone of our nation. Acting to disenfranchise citizens from voting with plans from our current administration of jackbooted paramilitary thugs at polling places is a threat to America.

    Wish granted. FM 105.3 will air the pledge of allegiance 24/7 recited by the most symbolically patriotic person in america—Donald J Trump.

    There are no ad breaks, no subscription fees. Just pure, uncut, America.

    childish chorus

    I pledge allegiance

    To the flag

    Of the United States of America

    And to the Republic

    For which it stands

    One nation

    Under God

    Indivisible

    With liberty

    And justice for all.

    Does this "pro-america" programming involve making truthful statements and quoting the law?

    https://cafe.com/notes-from-contributors/dojs-new-low-pirros-attempt-to-indict-lawmakers-over-a-military-law-video/

    I am not alone in my disgust over an administration that would punish anyone, let alone members of Congress, for simply reminding service members of their legal duties. Last week, a federal judge appointed by President George W. Bush issued an injunction blocking Hegseth from punishing Kelly for his role in the video. Finding that the Arizona senator had shown a substantial likelihood of success on the merits of his legal challenge, Judge Richard Leon wrote, “Defendants have trampled on Senator Kelly’s First Amendment freedoms and threatened the constitutional liberties of millions of military retirees.” Even for a judge who frequently disregards the judicial norm of avoiding exclamation points in his legal opinions, this one was extraordinary. “To say the least,” he wrote, “our retired veterans deserve more respect from their Government, and our Constitution demands they receive it!” Charging them with a crime for their free speech would be even more egregious.

    (Emphasis mine)
