Presumably he will also be encouraging TV manufacturers to include a camera in each set to ensure compliance.
Perhaps morning callisthenics will also be introduced? That means you 6079 Smith, W.

What could be more patriotic than taking the piss out of the bastards running the US into the ground?

PSAs about the US Constitution perhaps. How about a reminder that: it is the patriotic duty of all US military personnel to refuse any illegal order.

How about reciting this every day..
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

I invite Brendan Carr to volunteer to be the middle man in a new Human Centipede.
This will fulfill his obligation to the public interest, as we'll never again have to listen to anything that comes out of either end of him ever again.

I hope there is a ton of malicious compliance. Publish a variety of pro America facts that will clue MAGA into what the country actually is, instead of their backwards view of it.

I always think of SCTV’s “Great White North” when I think of malicious compliance. You want “Canadian” content? We’ll give you Canadian content, you hosers!

The fact that he has to state that the celebration of our own country is "non-partisan" is saying quite a bit actually. Is it?

If Carr wants the pledge of allegiance on radio so bad, he should buy an ad with each station and place it on there himself. It's not that expensive. It's radio.

I bet that they will prefer the pledge of Allegiance be delivered the way it used to be done until 1942 (for some weird reason I cannot possibly fathom at the moment).

Since they are so interested in American history, how about daily reminders that Trump is the only President to be impeached twice! I'd also add in reminders about Trump's numerous fraud convictions.

How about "Fun Presidential Facts", like:
- Only one President of the United States has been impeached twice.
- Only one President of the United States is a convicted felon.
- Five Presidents of the United States won the Electoral College vote but failed to win the popular vote.

At this point there should be little surprise over things like this. I don't think there is a bottom here. It's only going to get worse. Picture every fascist thing you've ever read about or saw in a movie or TV show that you thought was just too crazy to ever really happen and understand it is happening and much worse.

It wont be long before they claim juristiction over the internet. Most people consume their media over the internet, not on broadcast media.
They got it voluntarily with the Tiktok sale. What they want is control over the meta feed and youtube. Given how corrupt the United States is and how subservient the Epstein class is to Trump its hard to see how this wont happen.

For me as an immigrant, the greatness of this country is (used to be?) that you don't have to recite the pledge of allegiance if you don't want to, you don't have to believe in god, you don't have to stand up during the anthem at the start of a sports game, you can burn the flag (in a safe situation as a protest), and you can make fun of politicians. My grandmother had to do all of that pledging shit when she was in the Bund Deutscher Mädel, and it didn't end so well.

I quit saying the pledge in high school. I always stood at least to not make a scene, same with the national anthem. Last year I started sitting through all of it though.
