America’s defenders of the First Amendment have decided that a comic strip criticizing President Joe Biden’s transgender policies is more freedom of speech than Americans ought to be allowed to see.

The media conglomerate Gannett, which formerly used the slogan “A World of Different Voices Where Freedom Speaks,” recently banned the strip “Mallard Fillmore” from its publications, according to a report in The Washington Times.

Bruce Tinsley, who created the comic strip, said King Features, which syndicates his work, told him about the latest episode of America’s cancel culture at work

“It was a big shock. From what I’m hearing, it was unprecedented. My syndicate had never seen anything like it,” Tinsley said.

You don’t know the half of it.

There is little unity in Leftist groups.

The way it works is, a committee decides on the direction the larger party will be going. There are directed debates and discussions and when a decision is made, you will not break party discipline or you will be expelled. Once expelled, you are persona non grata to those who are not expelled. Shunning isn’t as effective as the expulsion of a once party cadre.

There is no mystery why so many little Leftist groups exist. Factions and fractions leave, form their own little group, then they have some “internal struggle” on some issue and THEY fracture and split. It becomes an “eat your own” scenario. What fun!

I like how you think.

How and why are there so many pictures of this person?

The subject of the thread is the intolerance of criticism for Joe Biden’s transgender policies, which I think most here would agree are at best disturbing. I was merely stressing how disturbing by providing a few pics of his newly appointed Assistant Health Secretary. How and why couldn't you figure this out on your own?

It’s a pretty sad statement on the state of the current world.

Truly bizarre times.

[Big Red Badger]

I’m speechless.

That segment is getting a lot of play on da internet over the last week.

What you “put on”
is None of My Business.
But, must I be forced
to Applaud You “In It?”

[fella]

There is no surprise here.

The goose-steppers are on the march. You either fall in or get trampled under foot.

De we see how the Nazis rose to power now?

“We’re in for a very perilous period.”

Yes. Our enemies (external and internal) know we are a weak and greatly divided people.

As Boomers fade away, so does a God-fearing, common morality, patriotic, common sense America.

Glad I knew it for a good part of my life. Missing it already. Missing many things nowadays, actually.

[Fresh Wind]

Gee thanks. I was eating. /barf

They require confirmation of approval.

Or so it seems. So much for “just wanting to be left alone” and all of that.

[Kevmo]

No way I woulda believed it
