The Taliban are happy with the outcome, unsurprisingly.

So, of course, is Putin.

Oh that's right. You want the Trifecta in a perfect Left wing candidate, well two out of three aint bad. (Black, Gay and female). Never mind the fact that the candidate is substandard. Have a little cry into your keffiyeh.

Pretty certain the Taliban were very happy when Biden allowed them back into power.

They swept back into power as the United States withdrew its remaining troops from Afghanistan as outlined in a 2020 peace agreement between the Trump administration and the Taliban.

So he is going to investigate himself for all the book banning and what he wants to do for every part of the media that disagrees with. Sounds like he is all for censorship. Says he is protecting the first amendment while being the main danger to it.

We're talking about somebody who advocates for violence against protesters.

The conservatives don't actually care for free speech. They just like to bleat about it when it suits them.

Like so much else in the constitution.

You got a source for all the books Trump banned? Cos I don't think he did. I think it was school districts banning them, not Trump when President.

On his campaign website, Trump promised to “cut federal funding for any school or program pushing Critical Race Theory or gender ideology on our children.” (Critical race theory refers to academic frameworks that teach systemic racism is embedded in American society.) Trump has also spoken out against diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) measures at colleges and universities across the country.

Campaigning against DEI has proven popular across Republican strongholds, as already some 10 states have passed restrictions on DEI that have shut down offices at public universities—including Kentucky and North Carolina.

So his website shows him encouraged the restriction of free speech. something he says he will prosecute. i.e. he is all for free speech when he agrees with it.

so no actual straight up banning of books? ok gotcha

Did you actually listen to what you posted?

That sort of interference of free speech is what he is making illegal. Oh - but only if it done to ban what he doesn't want banned ... or will it be selectively legal when he and his administration does it.

Free speech is free speech - not selective speech.

you said it bro I didn't

 

[pjennings]

He said it in the video you posted.

You implied, by saying "investigate himself for all the books banned" that HE banned books.

Listen to what he said - he said anyone that encouraged it. It has been done across conservative states in response to his famous September memo.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES FROM: Russell Vought Director

SUBJECT: Training in the Federal Government

It has come to the President's attention that Executive Branch agencies have spent millions of taxpayer dollars to date "training" government workers to believe divisive, antiAmerican propaganda. For example, according to press reports, employees across the Executive Branch have been required to attend trainings where they are told that "virtually all White people contribute to racism" or where they are required to say that they "benefit from racism."

According to press reports, in some cases these training have further claimed that there is racism embedded in the belief that America is the land of opportunity or the belief that the most qualified person should receive a job. These types of "trainings" not only run counter to the fundamental beliefs for which our Nation has stood since its inception, but they also engender division and resentment within the Federal workforce. We can be proud that as an employer, the Federal government has employees of all races, ethnicities, and religions. We can be proud that Americans from all over the country seek to join our workforce and dedicate themselves to public service. We can be proud of our continued efforts to welcome all individuals who seek to serve their fellow Americans as Federal employees. However, we cannot accept our employees receiving training that seeks to undercut our core values as Americans and drive division within our workforce. The President has directed me to ensure that Federal agencies cease and desist from using taxpayer dollars to fund these divisive, un-American propaganda training sessions.

Accordingly, to that end, the Office of Management and Budget will shortly issue more detailed guidance on implementing the President's directive. In the meantime, all agencies are directed to begin to identify all contracts or other agency spending related to any training on "critical race theory/9 "white privilege," or any other training or propaganda effort that teaches or suggests either (1) that the United States is an inherently racist or evil country or (2) that any race or ethnicity is inherently racist or evil. In addition, all agencies should begin to identify all available avenues within the law to cancel any such contracts and/or to divert Federal dollars away from these unAmerican propaganda training sessions.

The President, and his Administration, are fully committed to the fair and equal treatment of all individuals in the United States. The President has a proven track record of standing for those whose voice has long been ignored and who have failed to benefit from all our country has to offer, and he intends to continue to support all Americans, regardless of race, religion, or creed. The divisive, false, and demeaning propaganda of the critical race theory movement is contrary to all we stand for as Americans and should have no place in the Federal government.

"I will sign an executive order banning any federal department or agency from colluding with any organisation, business or person to censor, limit or categorise or impede the lawful speech of american citizens".

You are aware federal and state governments are different, right?

His office did this and the States responded. I don't just parse what was said by anyone including but not limited DJT. I apply a degree of critical thinking. That would include knowing the difference between state and federal governments.

I'm assuming you mean by trump making this executive order the government will be forced to investigate the article
"MEMORANDUM FOR THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES FROM: Russell Vought Director"

where Trump wanted to "ensure that Federal agencies cease and desist from using taxpayer dollars to fund these divisive, un-American propaganda training sessions."

as a form of "censor, limit, categorise or impede the lawful speech of american citizens".

Is that your argument?
