You DO have the right to speak.
What you lack is the capacity. At least for productive thoughtful speech.
Awww, the broke bitch baby snowflake is crying that he has to follow the law.... Fuck this asswipe, and any dirt bag that votes for him.

- A flock of geese.
- A cluster or group.
- A flock of wild geese, especially when on the ground.
Well done.
Apparently a group of competent reporters is called a mainstream, or else maga people are just idiots parroting complaints. I mean they could be idiots… although some, I’m sure, are good people.
Sir, this is a society.
That family is so pro free speech, untill you use that free speech to ask one of them who gets the first line of coke at the family get together? Or is it a trough like situation where you all get to go?
It's more like the human centipede but they snort it off each other's assholes. Trump somehow always ends up behind Ivanka.
Rights are granted to you as long as you follow the law that grants you them. Once you break the law certain rights can and will be taken away from you because you are no longer following the contract that allows you to have them.
There are certain inalienable human rights that every person should have. Slandering people and rallying up your cultists to attack those people is NOT one of them.
they've taken away my right to threateny opponents and send my cronies after their families
Oh yes, what a loss. Fuck Trump
Oh no :(
Anyway
Oh no, his right to verbally attack people involved in the court case he is the defendant of has been taken away!
Trump being forced to have to sit quietly in company of people who aren't yes-men and stooges is the tiniest bit of relief I get from 8 years of having to put up with this guy in our news.
Someone should take a shit down his throat because he’s been shitting in everyone’s ears for a decade
Is he still on Twitter? I feel like people should be harassing him to see if they can break him
No man, it’s all truth social- you know, the bigliest must truthtedy free speech platform with the highest stocks
If only
Captain Snowflake is always whining about something, and always has. Ever since at least the 80s. The fact that so many people think he's the ideal of manhood is laughable.
Lol he's like a child in time out
So anything that can be spoken is legal? Death threats? Insider trading? Collusion? Conspiracy? Bribery? Stolen valor? Classified info? Voter info?
Oh, boy, have I got news for you on Stolen Valor...
It was updated and still illegal but only if you make the statement with the intent to gain some tangible benefit. I actually wasn't aware they would prosecute you for simply saying it, regardless of context.
I thought this was going to be a "not the onion" post.
Lol, free speech doesn't mean he is free from the consequences. The gag order is there to protect him from breaking the law as much as its there to protect the jurors from intimidation by him. Is free to break the gag order I'd he wants, he'll just have to pay the consequences if he chooses that option.
Speech is free. Lies and slander is expensive.
The loser, Crying 45, can continue to cry.
