Asha Rangappa has thoughts on the bootlegged CBS footage making the rounds.

[Swede]

This is America now.

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house.

This is where America is now

[PJMcK]

4. Try this

Merry Christmas!

[CrispyQ]

8. That worked. Thank you.

I just watched it. The only reason they don't want this released is cuz we're treating people worse than livestock. just as disturbing to me, is how many people I know are okay with this.

[BOSSHOG]

10. They are treating people the way republicans would

Trumps political party has ownership of trump and his deeds. And yes indeed republicans are okay with this. It’s well past the time for impeachment proceedings to have started.

[Beartracks]

28. It's well past time for voters to figure out that the Republican party problem isn't just Trump.

It's Republicans.

9. Thanks for the link

I just watched it.

We are no longer the America I joined the military to protect. We look on the surface the same as we were back in 1982, but we are now rotting from the inside out on the putrified hate of Nazi psychos.

And the media is complicit with pedos and Nazis.

7. I just read a Daily Beast headline: "CBS frantically tries to stop people from seeing censored '60 Minutes".

Good luck with that CBS.

[Endlessmike56]

11. I guess Bari Weiss will be gone for allowing it to happen

[proud patriot]

12. I've been thinking a lot about Tankman in china

[peppertree]

13. That's how it was it Argentina during the (GOP-backed) last dictatorship

People often got their news from neighboring Uruguayan radio - which, though under a dictatorship themselves, it was a little less fascist and, in any case, didn't mind reporting about the insanity in Argentina.

That's how the public first became aware of large numbers of people washing up on the shores of Uruguay. And that most of them were Argentine, and had been visibly tortured.

Like in the U.S. right now, many applauded.... It did not end well for anyone.

[pfitz59]

22. O'Reilly was once a legit journalist

We have a family friend who escaped from Argentina as a teenager. Got out before he was 'disappeared'. He is now a very successful engineer. His wife is also an immigrant, from Italy. Under current Trump rules neither would be allowed in.

14. The lives of others...

[Linda ladeewolf]

15. I downloaded it from the web archive, they may block it, but I've still watched it.

Just save link as.

[aggiesal]

16. Don't stop there. ...

In USSR, you had to get gov't permission to travel, we now require Real ID to fly.
Then TSA is requesting a facial image, why?
I decline the facial image, every time I fly.

Now we have ICEstapo kidnapping latinos off the streets.
Papeles por favor.

[Zackzzzz]

18. And I paid for global entry.

Silly Me.

[aggiesal]

25. So did I 🤔😳

[3Hotdogs]

20. T'ain't nuthin'. In 'merica, IF YOU"RE PREGNANT, you may not get permission to go out of the state you live in.

Papeles, por favor? I got that in Indio, Ca. I'm a born American, of Italian-Irish ancestry. It was 1964. It scared the shit out'a me. I was 20 years old, had no papers, other than a N.J. driver's license.

The young guy who had been sitting next to me on the Greyhound pipes up: "Well sir, we don't rightly give immigration papers to Yankees coming into Mississippi.

Agent: "Where are you from?"

Me: "New Jersey."

Agent: "O.K., go on,"

[Exp]

17. Sad, but true. nt

[BidenRocks]

19. Everybody sing!

I'm proud to be an American... No?

I also served and am beyond pissed.

[Cha]

21. Yes, TY & Asha Rangappa

[boston bean]

23. They are trying to turn us into Russia. Greedy fucks.

[barbtries]

24. I know I watched it

as soon as I found it on MSW's substack this morning.

I've also taken to saving some of the Epstein files locally so they cannot disappear forever.

[BurnDoubt]

26. Repeating: this IS Human Trafficking.

And, I'm pretty sure there is a lot of money changing hands.
What kind of "deals" are going down?
"Gunboat diplomacy" for some and covert "alliances" for others.
Watch and see how he treats them once he's locked them into his "strategery".
Has he EVER dealt faithfully in any transaction?
See where Ivana ended-up?
Cover-up after cover-up after cover-up.
And the Legacy Media likes the Emperor's New Clothes... as long as he lets them keep on the Grift.
It's plain as day, but they refuse to see it.
Profiles In Cowardice.

27. Senator Cory Booker has the video on his YouTube channel.

It is indistinguishable from anything officially from 60 Minutes itself in terms of quality, unlike the rest of the bootlegs.
