Today in Fascism

This is how fascist dictators do things.

A CNN correspondent was barred from attending an open press event at the White House on Wednesday because of questions she asked President Donald Trump earlier in the day.

Caitlin Collins and her employer, CNN, say the White House denied Collins access to Trump's Rose Garden event with the European Commission president because officials found her earlier questions "inappropriate."

Fits you like a glove.

What should be concerning to you is the fact that the side of the political spectrum that is now actively calling for the suppression/elimination of speech/ideas they disagree with is coming from the left.

In the 60s the left was fighting against the "man". Today they want the "man" to ratchet things down, eliminate things they don't like, increase gov control over ever aspect of our lives, etc.

Funny how that works.

Today the live and let live group is probably your rural voter. The ones that want everything controlled is your old hippies and young wanna be hippy types in places like San Fran and Berkeley.

Sucker Du has always been a fascist. Biden just made it official.

So if your business gets 100 customers a day the rules are different than if you get 10,000,000? Interesting, selective market regulations. So in your world if your product becomes wildly popular you lose control of it? To who then comes the responsibility of what is to become of your private enterprise?

You're babbling

The headline implies they are doing the same thing.

The mayor of Austin was telling people to stay home, don't travel. Then went on a trip to Cancun.

That is called hypocrisy.

Ted Cruz hasn't been telling people in TX to stay home, etc.

I am sure that difference escaped you though.

No, no I don’t see why it matters. Skipping out is skipping out.

I don’t blame Cruz but you must admit it was a touch tone deaf. I’m just happy this what we consider a scandal once again! Lol!

Agree it was tone deaf. But it was reported with such a hyper ventilated tone, as if a law was being broken and rights were being trampled. Maybe Cruz himself was going to show up in a bucket truck to fix downed power lines?

I don't expect anything less from today's Gucci politicians - either side of the aisle.

Just to those who were paying attention. Poster boy opportunities are never passed up by politicians. No one is paying attention to Robert Francis even though he's "trying out" for a roster spot on the Biden .

But, I suppose you have to admire his situational awareness..

It appears that you're upset that he even dared to consider doing the right thing.

Not upset, just not naïve to think that any politician is truly virtuous and that the media is not biased. Cruz, not responsible for the Texas freeze, is being hyper villified. Emperor Cuomo, put on a pedestal, given awards for his actions. Shameful and disgusting.

Cruz is an idiot, Robert Francis is not virtuous, and Cuomo is a shameful human being. You may worship at one of these altars, I could care less.
