    Why would it be illegal for them to ask questions?

    Oh that’s right, tyrannical fucking fascism now occupies the entire actual US fucking government. I still can’t believe this is really happening right now.

    So they don’t want their lies exposed, and they don’t want their own constituents to know the actual truth. They are scared that their absolute stupidity will be broadcast for all to see. Every Last American should be embarrassed and ashamed!!

    “Do you have a plan for the war in Iran, sir?”

    “TAKE HER STRAIGHT TO JAIL!”

    America, everyone. The place I was born… Without choosing, to be clear.

      they are real life parodies of shows that parody fascism. extremely over the top emotinally and literally, cartoonishly evil,etc. and thats why conservatives hate media that does this, they know its true. they love run of the mill copaganda/militaryganda, and Christianity themed propaganda.

    This isn’t how mainstream media works. Not just any reporter can get in the White House press briefing and ask questions. They’ve been filtered long before they got there. This isn’t new to the Trump regime.

        Hey now, don’t undersell them. Americans have always got to be #1 after all

        The United States has the largest known prison population in the world. The country comprises 5% of the world’s population while having 20% of the world’s incarcerated persons. For comparison, China, with more than four times more inhabitants, has fewer persons in prison.[4][5]

          Oh shit, I saw a bad source that said China was at 2 mil and thought “that makes sense, there’s like 4 times as many people there so the number would be higher”

          And it isn’t even higher there lmao I hate my country

        “Look guys, the people are really all ate up about this slavery thing…I know, stupid…but anyway, what if we instead allowed slavery as punishment for a crime and then just started locking the poors up?”

        “My god man, thats brilliant! Why, if we do that we dont even have to pay for their care ourselves! We can even put that expense on the poor people through taxes, thus increasing the chance that they will end up in jail and be available for slave labor!!”

        “Dude, I know!! We wont even be forced to enslave people of a certain color, we’ll be able to enslave anyone!!!”

        “But what if we dont have enough criminals to leverage?”

        “Thats the best part! We make the laws so as long as we always have an easy way to lock people up, we’ll have more slaves than we ever had before the 13th amendment got passed!”

        “God bless these United States!”
