This is America now.
All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, âWatch it quick! Before it disappears!â) makes me feel like Iâm in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house.

(41,118 posts)I just watched it. The only reason they don't want this released is cuz we're treating people worse than livestock. just as disturbing to me, is how many people I know are okay with this.

We are no longer the America I joined the military to protect. We look on the surface the same as we were back in 1982, but we are now rotting from the inside out on the putrified hate of Nazi psychos.
And the media is complicit with pedos and Nazis.

(23,490 posts)People often got their news from neighboring Uruguayan radio - which, though under a dictatorship themselves, it was a little less fascist and, in any case, didn't mind reporting about the insanity in Argentina.
That's how the public first became aware of large numbers of people washing up on the shores of Uruguay. And that most of them were Argentine, and had been visibly tortured.
Like in the U.S. right now, many applauded.... It did not end well for anyone.

(10,941 posts)In USSR, you had to get gov't permission to travel, we now require Real ID to fly.
Then TSA is requesting a facial image, why?
I decline the facial image, every time I fly.
Now we have ICEstapo kidnapping latinos off the streets.
Papeles por favor.

(15,596 posts)Papeles, por favor? I got that in Indio, Ca. I'm a born American, of Italian-Irish ancestry. It was 1964. It scared the shit out'a me. I was 20 years old, had no papers, other than a N.J. driver's license.
The young guy who had been sitting next to me on the Greyhound pipes up: "Well sir, we don't rightly give immigration papers to Yankees coming into Mississippi.
Agent: "Where are you from?"
Me: "New Jersey."
Agent: "O.K., go on,"

I've also taken to saving some of the Epstein files locally so they cannot disappear forever.

What kind of "deals" are going down?
"Gunboat diplomacy" for some and covert "alliances" for others.
Watch and see how he treats them once he's locked them into his "strategery".
Has he EVER dealt faithfully in any transaction?
See where Ivana ended-up?
Cover-up after cover-up after cover-up.
And the Legacy Media likes the Emperor's New Clothes... as long as he lets them keep on the Grift.
It's plain as day, but they refuse to see it.
Profiles In Cowardice.
