Shit's about to pop off, but we don't know exactly what the orders are yet. I figure we could collect them in a single post and discuss as they come out.

"RESTORING FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND ENDING FEDERAL CENSORSHIP"

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/restoring-freedom-of-speech-and-ending-federal-censorship/

This is largely the no-more moderating hate speech order, but this bit is pretty sweeping: "The Attorney General, in consultation with the heads of executive departments and agencies, shall investigate the activities of the Federal Government over the last 4 years that are inconsistent with the purposes and policies of this order and prepare a report to be submitted to the President, through the Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, with recommendations for appropriate remedial actions to be taken based on the findings of the report."

The Attorney General's office is going to be busy as hell keeping up with all these wide-scale audits of Biden's regime that pretty much every order calls for. Altogether, these orders point to sweeping retaliation within the fed for the past four years, and an explicit threat to get in line for the next four. Not unexpected, of course.

fukken wild that the Dems only prosecuted one of his many very obvious crimes, and gave him literally zero punishment for it, and Trump still wants to purge them over it.

It's like he doesnt even understand kayfabe, the Dems weren't really trying to destroy him, they were just playing the heel for a bit. The trial probably helped him more than it hurt him, but he's still too egomaniacal to let it go.

Apropos of nothing:

Bit idea: we just spam "crakkker house" nonstop on White House social media, then sue the government when we get banned for comically large amounts of money.

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 26 points 1 day ago

You and I both know it only goes one way, KKKrackkkers are only allowed to say racist stuff and we will get banned without a chance of being able to sue

How are platforms supposed to comply with this while simultaneously complying with other countries requirement to moderate that content?

I think in the EU, Venezuela, Brazil and Australia, the banned posts are hidden but if you use an USA vpn you can see the removed posts. Idk how long this will last though.

Trump will tell them he will sanction them to hell and back unless they repeal their gommulist censorship laws, and they will fold like the submissive vassals they are.

Also doubtful whether the Euro welfare states live to see the end of the decade.
