    Just seeing trumps response to the online safety act I think it’s clear he doesn’t care about freedom of speech much

    White man speaks with forked tongue. Why do reporters never push back against these absurd statements? I know they’ll lose ‘access’, but that’s better than losing their integrity.

    I’m just going to tell you what would happen if this would happen.

    Firstly there might be a few small instances of fed’s kidnapping people and black bagging people. But that won’t last long. People will start arming themselves and the feds will have a daily instance like Waco. The federal agents will dwindle as they try to use force to attack the populace. Then the military will get brought in. But that will only mean more dead federal agents. Because if there’s one thing that happens during federal crimes against the constitution. Is that the populace stops giving a fuck and goes harder than the feds are ready to go.

    This is all an analysis from my time working in domestic terror. If you think this wouldn’t happen. I assure you Americans are not push overs.

    Libel is now hate speech I guess. And any criticism of the president is Libel now, which is also hate speech…

    Ok, I get it now. There’s a delay on my Trump-to-English translation. “Treated fairly” means “unquestioned.”

    He wants people to stop pointing out problematic shit he says and does.

    If the country was “fixed”/doing awesome, forecasts for 3 fed cuts by December wouldn’t be current. Labour Statistics department head wouldn’t be fired for giving bad news.

    The bigger problem no matter economic health is “our hate speech is free speech. Your/any criticism, or just concern about the right of criticism, is radical left damaging the country”
