Given the speed of capitulation so far, the US will be comparable to Singapore by 2026 in terms of political freedom. But with lots more violence from MAGA actors, confident of immunity.
Wouldn’t making it easier to sue for defamation also make it easier to sue Trump and FOX News and Elon Musk and other mendacitators who are frequently engaging in character assassination of their critics with untruths? Of course I am assuming the courts will be engaging in blind justice which is a questionable assumption. I imagine Trumpian judges will be kinder to suits from him and his supporters than to the resistance.
Taking a wrecking ball to some of our most treasured freedoms is the start of darkness looming. That Bezos is a spinelss twit is a stamp of approval for the encroaching fascism. Cowardice is such a shameful trait. Just goes to prove that wealth does not produce strength or integrity. Yet another eunuch steps forward. The underlying message is how Trump & Co. do not care how many lives they would, can or will destroy. Live in fear, die in fear.

Lower courts may be brave enough to engage in blind justice. The Supreme Court won't be so bold or brave.

Trump and his cronies will turn this Country into a North Korean clone. I'm glad my father (a WWII combat veteran) didn't live to see this.
