Yet another example of the GOP's descent into authoritarianism.

The Republicans are the new perpetual victims, they think they are being held back by "biased media", immigrants, Muslims, and minorities.

The three pillars of the New GOP: authoritarianism, White nationalism, and whataboutism.
Those people are uniquely unqualified to determine when news is biased or inaccurate.

I have stated this before, but it bears repeating ... the party should change it's name, because they do not carry on the spirit of republicanism.

They could change their party name to the Authoritarian party for full disclosure, to avoid confusion in the publics mind as to what they truly represent.

If this were true, Fox should have been shut down long ago.

Let me guess. These are the same polls that said Hillary would win in a landslide, and that Trump would be lucky to get 80 electoral votes, right?

Hot Air isn't a liberal blog.

It was founded by Michelle Malkin.

Sounds like a Remake of the Rise of a Hitler Styled Regime ... trying to take shape and form itself.

Liberals favorite pastime is shutting down free speech.

Thankfully there is a first amendment, and it's not going away.

These people can want whatever they want...they're not getting it.


As much as I think Alex Jone's blathering nonsense is complete and utter drivel, I have no interest in living in a world where people aren't free to their press and speech. Even if that speech is gibberish.
