First Amendment's Freedom of the Press, 1789-2019?

So, Trump thinks the Congress has no right to oversight and journalism has no right to investigate. He's set up concentration camps, the design of which is to be so awful, deaths included, that people just give up on asylum here. "Jokes" at rallies about not respecting elections unless he wins, which we've seen go down just this fucking week in Indonesia. He's a straight-up fucking fascist.

That's the deal. Remember when you were laughing at people like me about oncoming fascism? Remember when you shut your mind down when Saint Dimples of the Holy iPod List ramped up press attacks beyond even what W did? Right.


And, uh, no, this isn't about little me getting "credit." When you scream that the house is on fire, you're not thinking, "Gee, I hope I can put this warning, one that anything with two working grey cells could see, on my resume!" No, it's more total fucking exasperation with your endless lying: to yourself, to everyone else. With your intellectual laziness and cowardice.


Don't worry, you can still think you're better than me, if that helps your precious little ego get over things, fast, so we can, like, maybe keep this whole sucker from going down. You wouldn't be too far off, and it seems that people desperately need that. Great: I'm an asshole. I'm stupid. I just got lucky. You can still disdain me; you're safe. Just fucking get on point, now.


Moral: Start reading while you still can. You might learn something.


Or just take ten minutes and watch this. It's not Rachel Maddow, the deplorable who led the charge to push all eggs not "Russiagate" out of the Resistance basket, I know, but, hey, you do what you can:




"But, Doug, I don't like the Intercept! I hate Greenwald, and my likes and dislikes rule all because I'm a fucking stubborn child. Can you give me something more palatable?"

[Sighs; remembers who he's dealing with.] Fine: try Ellsberg, who is old enough to have become Establishment-OK, given his identical acts didn't hurt any Democrats in 2016 and he doesn't like holding down women during sex, so far as we know. He's perfect for you: you can still pretend you care about progressive issues by agreeing with him:



If you can stand Amy Goodman and Evil Intercepter Jeremy Scahill, along with Ellsberg, try this out:



Meanwhile, so touching to see the NYT, et al, stick up for Assange, now that it's too late and after they’d played the role they know doubt knew they were playing for the government: trash him for years, destroy his reputation and respect, make him an easier mark for the government they’re now upset with.


This was about their own rice bowl, at bottom, after even any constitutional or professional respect or pride. Couldn’t manage to get it together.


This is the "Resistance" you've hitched your wagon to. Keep watching Maddow, who now loves John Bolton, and marinating in fucking bullshit. I'm sure there's someone somewhere you used the word "niggardly" and upset some fourteen-year-old who didn't know the word or did but didn't care. There's a cause you can get behind.


"What, you don't care about RACISM, Doug?????? You BernieBros are a bunch of misogynist racist bros!"--well, you know the tag.

Back in reality, you have three choices, and only three:


1. Fight back.


2. Be a pathetic little Good German.


3. Join the fascists.


Which will it be? Note that (2) is functionally the same as (3). 


Here's something you can do: donate to Assange and Wikileaks. Yeah, only $22.5k so far, and I mean since he was dragged out of the embassy. That’s it. 


The ruling class did its work well; partisan fucking morons of the latte-sipping, Maddow-addicted ilk, sold him out. Entirely. Swallowed it all; led by their navel-gazing idiocy. My cat could have run the PR and it would have worked. 

And there goes the first amendment. That’s your “resistance” for you: fucking morons, self-congratulating, utterly ignorant morons.

I'm proud to be on that donation list. I'm nobody's little bitch-boy. You do what you like. 

Oh, you're worried about putting your name on some list? Then you're already a fucking Good German, and you're actively helping Trump. Cut the crap; that's the deal. 


And you won't donate. Because you're all talk. You won't do a fucking thing different than what you've always done, and you'll justify it by hating on people like Sanders, actual progressives, who are the Return of the Repressed.


Meanwhile, the carbon keeps flying into the air....
