Why is the NFL getting massive tax breaks while at the same time disrespecting our Anthem, Flag and Country? Why is it that the NFL doesn't pay tax, but everybody else does? I do. Change tax law!

Donald Trump has pledged to defend the Constitution — even an article that doesn’t exist — but he can’t seem to lay off that pesky First Amendment.

Trump has mocked the First Amendment’s right to freedom of religion by calling for a ban on Muslims from entering the country and criticized those who believe in the freedom of speech as “foolish people.” He has also endorsed attacks on protesters and the imprisonment of people who burn the flag.

And he has made it very clear that he doesn’t stand for the freedom of the press. As a presidential candidate, Trump told supporters he would “open up our libel laws” to sue journalists. “We’re going to have people sue you like you’ve never got sued before,” he promised.

Trump the candidate also blacklisted reporters and entire news outlets from campaign events, referred to journalists as “scum” and “slime,” and mocked a reporter for having a disability. He vowed to sue women who reported incidents of sexual harassment and assault, along with the outlets that covered their accounts, and threatened a lawsuit against a Hispanic journalist group for calling out his bigoted remarks.

"I would never kill them but I do hate them,” he said of reporters. “And some of them are such lying, disgusting people.”

This onslaught didn’t stop once Trump assumed the presidency. From the most powerful perch on the planet, he has continued to wage attacks on the free press, further revealing his authoritarian impulses and disdain for the First Amendment.

Below we provide a running list of the attacks that the president has made on the press since assuming office. We’ll keep this list updated since, unfortunately, we don’t expect them to stop.

Trump has:

Said it is “frankly disgusting the way the press is able to write whatever they want to write” in a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Threatened to cancel the broadcast licenses of media companies that offer negative coverage of him.

Had the White House press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, call on ESPN to fire Jemele Hill for criticizing him.

Tweeted mocking images of him wrestling a CNN reporter and his campaign hitting a CNN reporter with a train.

Overseen a Justice Department review of policies for subpoenaing media organizations in an effort to crack down on both whistleblowers and journalists.

Pledged to “fight the #FakeNews” with a Polish leader hostile to press freedom.

Attacked reporters while speaking with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has fostered a climate of violence against journalists.

Said that his mission to “drain the swamp” begins “with the Fake News!”

Reportedly asked then-FBI Director James Comey to jail reporters who publish classified information.

Tasked his former chief of staff with looking into changing the country’s libel laws.

Explored the prosecution of WikiLeaks for publishing CIA and State Department materials.

Labeled the “fake news” media “the enemy of the people.”

Accused the media of lying about his “very nice” conversation with the Australian prime minister. Ultimately, a leaked transcript of the call showed it was Trump who was lying.

Urged someone to buy the New York Times to “either run it correctly or let it fold.”

While Trump tries to portray journalists at the “enemies” of Americans, it’s his attacks on the press that amount to an assault on the cornerstone of American democracy: the First Amendment.

Donald Trump Thinks the Freedom of the Press Is ‘Disgusting’

This Republican Lawmaker is already drafting legislation to violate that pesky 1st Amendment.

Original submission on "Undercover in the Alt-right", from the TMB-can't-stand-free-speech dept. Accepted, and them suppressed by the Nazi sympathizing opinion of a non-editor. Is this how SoylentNews is going to roll?

aristarchus [soylentnews.org] writes:

In an interesting look inside the world of white supremacism, the New York Times [nytimes.com] reports on the findings of a Swedish graduate student who went undercover into the belly of the beast.

Posing as a student writing a thesis about the suppression of right-wing speech, he traveled from London to New York to Charlottesville, Va. — and into the heart of a dangerous movement that is experiencing a profound rejuvenation.

While this may sound vaguely familiar, Hermansson discovered some not so surprising facts about Nazis: they love Hitler!

Mr. Hermansson and Mr. Jorjani met at an Irish pub near the Empire State Building, where the baby-faced Mr. Jorjani imagined a near future in which, thanks to liberal complacency over the migration crisis, Europe re-embraces fascism: “We will have a Europe, in 2050, where the bank notes have Adolf Hitler, Napoleon Bonaparte, Alexander the Great. And Hitler will be seen like that: like Napoleon, like Alexander, not like some weird monster who is unique in his own category — no, he is just going to be seen as a great European leader.”

Yes, an interesting read for everyone interested in free speech, and its ability out political extremism and vanquish unreason with the bright lights of publicity. And a scary read for anyone worried about Millennial Nazis.

Fluent in the language of online irony and absurdism, and adept at producing successful memes, alt-lighters have pulled off something remarkable: They’ve made far-right ideas hip to a subset of young people, and framed themselves as society’s forgotten underdogs. The alt-light provides its audience easy scapegoats for their social, economic and sexual frustrations: liberals and feminists and migrants and, of course, globalists.

original submission

Postscriptum: a link to the actual report by Hermansson at Hope, not Hate. Very interesting, as a certain German on Rowan and Martin's LaughIn used to say.

The fake story really was fake.... As in, the story he was denouncing never actually existed in the first place.

Thanks, Google.

Folks, let's give a big hand to Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys, who will BENCH players who disrespect our Flag. And to Adam Gase, owner of the Miami Dolphins, who is telling his players to stand. "Stand for Anthem or sit for game!" I'm counting on Roger Goodell to do the right thing when he meets with the owners next week! And end this disrespect to Flag, Anthem & Country. #StandForOurAnthem

Congress, who I love, has asked me to create a holiday to honor Christopher Columbus. Columbus was a great guy, who made America European and discovered syphilis. Which is why I own 25% of Goodyear Tire & Rubber. Enjoy! t.co/cbQRst4lN4
