    Holyshit aren’t you guys very big on whatever the amendment that guarantees you free speech ? How’s this not a blatant violation of free speech ?

      It is, this is ridiculous GOP headline-grabbing outrage bait but we live in stupid universe so I can’t say with absolute certainty that it won’t happen.

        The point is to lose, so they can stoke some culture war bullshit about how free speech is dead, the government is too big, the judiciary is too woke, etc. And if it’s allowed to stand, all the better.

        This is an exercise in trying to build outrage before the elections, because they don’t have an actual platform that involves making people’s lives better.

        Well they are very good in getting me triggered even though I’m 12000 km away and not concerned by those shenanigans. It’s soooo infuriating.

      “whatever the amendment is”. You clearly don’t belong here discussing politics. Absolutely everyone is big on “whichever amendment that is”.

      What kinda bait is this supposed to be?

        They could just not be from the United States. Idk how the Irish government works, so I figure the Irish don’t need to know how my government works.
