It’s only confusing if you persist in believing that the MAGA definition of “free speech” is the same as the lefty definition. The MAGA believe that everything they say should be freely said, broadcast, given its own program, and dominate social media. (Probably even more venues I’ve left out.) Every last thing. Nothing they can possibly say is ever “hate speech.”

Whereas any curbs on their speech, any criticism of their people, any deploring of their tactics, they will define as “hate speech”.

Debasing the language. It’s what the Republican Party has been doing for over 50 years now. Like having two separate information pools, reality and Faux, this language split makes actual communication difficult to impossible. So there can be no “debate” or “exchange of ideas.”

I’d like to thank every fascist shithead in this country for clearing up the mystery of how Germany fell to the Nazis. Watching it unfold in real time is really quite illuminating.

Like I give a shit what Owen Strickland II or any other MAGAt thinks. Most of us liberals were taught to think for ourselves, and we are well aware of the fact that MAGAts simply follow Dear Leader.

But,” he said, “in fairness, there were lots of people on the left saying the same thing eight months ago about policing hate speech and how it shouldn’t be protected so what I think it’s more indicative of is people losing perspective on the importance of speaking freely.”

Really? I honestly think I would have noticed. Maybe I was distracted. Or maybe Mr. Both-Sides is just full of, well, I’m trying to do better.

It’s also odd that the supposedly anti-ICE sniper, as claimed by Patel, did not shoot any agents, but only shot detainees. Weird.

said Ben Hickinbotham, a chief executive officer at a firm that contracts with the government from Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. “I don’t believe it is the job of any administration to police that necessarily. But,” he said, “in fairness, there were lots of people on the left saying the same thing eight months ago about policing hate speech and how it shouldn’t be protected so what I think it’s more indicative of is people losing perspective on the importance of speaking freely.”

Who exactly “on the left” was calling for the policing of hate speech?

“It’s one thing to call someone a jerkface… Calling them the most heinous dictator that’s ever lived, as far as I’m concerned, is a totally different ballgame,” he said.

OK, so it’s OK if I call that orange POS the most jerkface dictator that’s ever lived, right?

Yeah, it’s almost like he hates brown people for some reason. But, I can’t imagine why.

It must have been grueling.

Simultaneous cries of “F it, I’m not being paid enough to listen to this crap, never mind try to translate it coherently” in Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian, and Spanish.

Come to think of it, they also really needed someone to translate it into English.

No sympathy for Comey. His last minute thumb on the scales in October 2016 is a big reason we have Trump in the first place. He can reap what he sowed.
