...and have arrived at the 'state oppression' phase of the end of democracy.

The jack boots have officially arrived.

TRUMPEDO, July 22, 2025: The word is, and it's a strong word at that, Jimmy Kimmel is NEXT to go in the untalented Late Night Sweepstakes and, shortly thereafter, Fallon will be gone.

Funny, I'm old enough to remember when Brendan Carr used to think government censorship was a bad thing, way back in 2023.

CARR: Free speech is the counterweight — it is the check on government control. That is why censorship is the authoritarian’s dream.

Well, we're all living in Trumpedo's nightmare now.

Jeebus, will someone leak the frickin' Epstein files, please.

All the repression is being spun as "free speech". Just like forcing religion down people's throats is now "religious freedom".

Back when the world spun on its axis, the sun rose in the east and gravity held objects “down”, I wondered how people who lived under authoritarian regimes could live with the “up is down”, “truth is falsehood” nonsense that pervades such societies.

Some things have to be lived in order to understand.

1poorlady lived through the Marcos (Sr) regime. She says we're almost there now, and that I'm naive for thinking otherwise. Perhaps I am holding out too much faith in the courts.
