10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Remember folks, the so-called moderate Republicans coming out of the woodwork have fully enabled the whackjobs making death threats and all the other bullshit coming out of the Gaslight Obstruct Project party over the past few years. They allowed this to happen, they invited this to happen, and the US will take years if not decades to recover.
We are entering the "I never supported him anyway" phase. Don't let them.
Lmao of course she did, what else can you expect talking to the dopey leader of a cult of FUCKING WEIRDOS.
They're in favor of a free press, except if that press isn't in support of their political agenda. Then all of a sudden that free press isn't supposed to be so free.
If the freedom you want has a required political position, it's not freedom that you want.
Just like how they only use “free speech” to defend the indefensible things they say. Because they can’t actually justify the things they say, so they fall back to “well you technically can’t stop me from saying it.” The “free speech” defense is just about the lowest bar you could find, and if you’re using it you should seriously examine why you’re saying the things you are. Because if you’ve fallen into the “free speech” defense, it means you have no other defense.
this is a little odd because it comes off as you attacking free speech a little
It's definitely not that. They are just pointing out that the right to free speech prevents the government from impeding someone's ability to say something, it doesn't (despite implications made by a lot of people who cry out that their right to free speech is being impeded) force others to listen to or agree with that thing being said. If anything, the people that abuse the name of free speech by implying that it means people need to agree with them, or need to amplify their message, are attacking free speech by mudding the water around what it means and making it harder for good faith entities to invoke that right
Imagine if Trump said that this is not acceptable... But guess who keeps his mouth shut instead.
Those f'ing weirdos
Ever since the pan. Everything was already terrible, but then the hinges broke. The crazy really took over. And this is where we are. Fucking stochastic terrorism with heaps of actual terrorism. They just don't have any boundaries anymore. Or sense of decency. Or shame. Fuck the right.
But but you have to understand they’re just worried because the elites have abandoned them!! /s
There was a time when the conservatives would have just actually lynched her. That's what they refer to as "the good ol' days".
Yup. “Make America great again” is code for “I preferred it when we could lynch black people for literally anything.”
Guess we're gonna have to keep recorders on our lines til these morons grow up
Yeah, emotional violent savages are gonna act that way. They are not intelligent enough to argue and are uncivilized animals. Screw maga, they are weird outcasts and, anger getting wrecked in the election, can go hide in their bunkers where polite society doesn't have to look at them anymore...
republicans sending death threats to a black woman for holding a racist to account? on brand.
Really fucking weird.
Hey fellas, is it weird to send death threats to a news station for not asking trump softball questions and kissing his butt? 🤔
I woke up to a response from someone who asked me why I had to make "everything" about racism.
This is why.
Pointing out racism is not you making everything about racism, it's there being a lot of racist shit.
