This makes me want to hear the whole speech.  Jonathan Turley raved about it.

J.D. Vance's Munich Wake-Up Call:  Democracy, Censorship, and the Will of the People

Vance's Munich speech slammed European elites for stifling democracy, warned of censorship and mass migration, and urged leaders to respect voters—or risk losing the very system they claim to defend.  [...]

Man this is the hot take of the day, lol

 

Trying to figure out what it has to do with the Munich speech: which yes, everyone should watch.  The tepid claps of the globalists filled me with glee.

Just now, ameriran said:

All what Biden was doing. No evidence Trump did that during his first term or he will do that his second. Are you a billionaire? Otherwise we are paying more taxes. And already Elon is planning to increase homelessness. How will there be less crime when everyone will be more poor? 

biden was securing the border?  in what alternate reality was this happening?

Wow, just wow

Of course synchronized media will do whatever they can to prop up the Democrats and the DC elite.  There were also NYTimes stories about the waste in the federal government, but now they are singing a different tune.  Also, I believe the NYTimes were part of the MSM that hid the cognitive decline of Old Petulant Corrupt Joe.

 

Btw, making a personal attack on someone is a ToS violation.  No one here has made any personal attacks to you, yet you feel the need to do it yourself which is amazing as you joined a discussion on free speech and an even more wide ranging speech made in Germany by a US official and posted a response that had nothing to do with the topic.

Interesting, and as usual, fairly spot on.  It makes too much sense given the reaction to the Euro elites after the speech.

 

'Censorship Is the Twin of Failure': Victor Davis Hanson Analyzes JD Vance's Speech to Europe

 

Political commentator, Victor Davis Hanson, was on Fox News recently defending Vice President JD Vance’s Munich speech to Europe. Hanson said Vance was telling the European 'Silent Majority’ that the elites had failed. That failure means censorship is the elites' only option.

I love seeing leftist Democrats, the DC elite and the synchronized leftist MSM hypocritically try to defend limiting free political speech.    Europe is a bastion of the elite restricting their citizens, but what else is new.

 

 

Vance rightly excoriates Europe: What values are we defending?

Democrats, and their leftist allies including the DC "conservative" elite of DC, and the synchronized media loves to redefine words.  Here is hoping it does not work this time.

 

“Listen Carefully it’s Actually Much Darker”: How the Left is Framing Free Speech as a Front for Fascism

Article 118 of the Weimar Constitution, guaranteed free speech but added that it must be “within the limits of the general laws.” It did not protect statements deemed by the government as factually untrue and speech was actively regulated.

 

Indeed, Hitler was barred from speaking publicly. It was not free speech that the Nazis used to propel their movement, but the denial of free speech. They portrayed the government as so fearful and fragile that it could not allow opposing views to be stated publicly.

Love seeing the Euro elite "progressives" with their panties in a bunch when their hypocrisy is unmasked.  I know European elite leaders like to be condescending, and they had an absent President in Old Corrupt Joe for the past four years, but they need to get on board or leave the table.
