“Can/will they put people in jail for free speech? Will they fine people for free speech? Will they take over the internet and ban people for free speech?”
It is only then that the constitutionality of the Ministry of Truth will be judged. Right now there is no case or controversy. The issue is not Ripe...yet.
Instead of backing Trump in building a fence and stopping the flow, Rubio still supports amnesty.
“And how exactly are we different from China, or Russia?”
China’s governent at least believes that what it does is in the best interest of the majority of its citizens. So, that’s different.

Our communist masters are living large and in total control...
This is just the bare-bones beginning...
When Americans realize how bad things are, they will band together, once again, on the Lexington Green or at Concord Bridge and chant:
Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...
I really miss the Constitution.

FJB !!!!
I’ve always thought that “Homeland” fit right in there along with “Motherland” and “Fatherland.”
In this instance, “Homeland” is particularly insulting because if “Homeland” meant anything to them, they wouldn’t be abandoning this country’s sovereignty.
