The next step toward fascism.

Post by FakeAndyStuart » Mon Aug 14, 2023 12:02 pm

Cops raid a newspaper like it was Trump's house
A small-town Kansas newspaper said its 98-year-old co-owner died Saturday after local police raided her home, seized her computer and other equipment, and separately grabbed phones, computers and other material from the paper’s staff...During their raid on Meyer’s (the paper's co-owner) home Friday, police seized her computer and a router used by her Amazon Alexa personal assistant device, the newspaper said. Additionally, the paper reported, cops copied bank statements belonging to her son. ..At the same time..., officers raided the newspaper’s office in Marion, the paper reported. Police seized journalists’ personal phones and computers and other equipment and material from the newspaper office, the Record said.
I'll bet Candidate Trump is taking notes on this one, just salivating at the chance to do it himself to the NYT.

This is a good thread to bookmark if a Republican is elected next year.
They/them, non-binary and proud.

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

If I read your post correctly, you feel that I am deranged and that I will say wild untrue things about the former president because of my obsession and derangement. Please tell me - if former President Trump wins in Nov 2024, and somehow this blatant disregard for the free press stand up legally.. won't the new Trump DOJ stomp their way into newsrooms nationwide??? I don't think that idea is deranged, I think it is a potential reality.

The paper was close to breaking a story about some local corruption so the folks it was gonna report on basically sent the cops in to break it up.

And yes the people who constantly rant about the “liberal media” don’t do that to blow off steam and would gladly go after them if given the opportunity.

Just like AOC and an Oil Company… if it could be killed it would be done in a heartbeat.

Don't get me wrong - the police department has surely earned itself a lawsuit. And probably rightfully so.

I was just fascinated by the fact that somebody reading through that article thought to themself, of all things "boy, I'll bet this is something Trump would do. Yeah....I'll make a thread about my thoughts on the Buzzboard!"

Voting for Trump is dumber than playing Russian Roulette with fully loaded chambers.

Yeah. Same thought I had yesterday.
Life is not a dress rehearsal. This is it. There's no going back, and we can only go forward before we run out of runway.

Search warrant revoked by judge, insufficient evidence.

Probably bring her body back, put it in the bed, and hope that she revives.
