This is free-speech absolutism, you guys!
Also, even though we are actually trying to cancel all real comedy, we legalized comedy again, because prior to Taco, no one ever punched down!

the gop have been soft-censoring democrat/left leaning free speech for a while, through media/Social media.
Democrats have been soft-censoring left leaning social media as well.
Oh but its exactly the same thing as people telling racists to fuck off though! BoTh SiDeS!!!
/s
It's also exactly the same as fact-checking organized medical disinfo or Russian agitprop campaigns aimed at a politician's son just before an election...but mah freezed peach! I should have a right to use others' private platforms to spread Confederate Party propaganda and force their algorithm to shove it into everyone's feeds whether they want it or not! FREEEEEEDOM!

Nah, Kamala had a stance on Palestine therefore this is the okay alternative. /s
Good thing that situation is completely resolved now /s
This is pretty much what occurs to me nearly every time I see the pedo-in-chief or one of his criminal syndicate doing something incredibly illegal and/or something to make American lives miserable.
I wish I could find some more decent leftist content via podcast. Right now, I swear about most of the content coming out of TYT seems to be about Gaza.
We have crazies running the place, and it seems to be a race to whether the Seven Mountains Mandate nutjobs or the insane dipshits from the Peter Thiel/Curtis Yarvin wing get to decide how our democracy is carved up. Normal Americans, while the majority, don't seem to matter, at all. Gaza is a thing, but it's not the only thing. I wish that people could understand this and bring it into sharp focus.
Meidas seems to do a decent job as do a few others, but that's via Youtube. Pod Save America is sometimes okay as is Thom Hartmann. I sometimes dip into John Fugelsang. Anyone else have any recommendations for decent podcast content that isn't the all-Gaza show?
Two thirds of registered voters didn't vote for Harris yet some people only want to criticize a tiny sliver who were (de)motivated by a damn genocide. That says an awful lot about your priorities. I'm almost starting to wonder if this isn't an AIPAC thing.
God, get over it, kamala lost because she couldn't get people to actually vote. Just like Hillary. Same shit would have happened to Joe if he stayed in the race. Kamala lost because the party fucking sucks so hard that they can't out message the fucking GOP.
The election was a year ago, stop bitching about how nobody voted because Palestine. If you don't like it, fucking do something about it.
She was a terrible pick for a multitude of reasons.
I'm convinced party leadership is on the trump payroll. You can only fail so much before incompetence becomes indistinguishable from sabotage.
It was that laugh.
It was so bad that we had to make the Palestinians suffer more by letting a fascist win instead.
GO AMERICA!!!!

It was a stupid way for him to word that (no surprise, literally everything that comes out of his mouth is stupid), but I just want to point out that in the context of what he's saying, what he intended to convey is that he got rid of the "freedom of speech" defense specifically for flag burning. Which... he didn't. But he's trying to by writing yet another executive order to instruct the DoJ to prosecute flag burners. Because, you know... a plague of flag burning is among the biggest problems facing our nation today.
“We took the freedom of speech away,” President Donald Trump boasted in his opening remarks at his “antifa roundtable” Wednesday.
Wow... Despite the headline that still took me by surprise.

Correction: The Heritage Foundation stole your free speech.
Do like Disney and instead of using actual American flags, use close approximations. Any action taken against you for burning a flag with 54 stars can net you a pretty penny in a civil suit!
