I might think he did but he sure as hell didn’t.
He’s sure as hell trying and the supreme court will likely cosign everything.
It was a stupid way for him to word that (no surprise, literally everything that comes out of his mouth is stupid), but I just want to point out that in the context of what he’s saying, what he intended to convey is that he got rid of the “freedom of speech” defense specifically for flag burning. Which… he didn’t. But he’s trying to by writing yet another executive order to instruct the DoJ to prosecute flag burners. Because, you know… a plague of flag burning is among the biggest problems facing our nation today.
Literally The Simpsons
Because there’s limits to your liberties. At least I hope and pray there are. Because those liberal freaks, they go to far.
“But what if they say you’re not good enough to be in the Constitution?”
“Then I’ll crush all opposition to me [followed by obsolete Ted Kennedy joke].”
Prescient.
we need to update the definition of comic book villainy to include “the simpsons called this”

Waiting for Mother Nature to take his free speech away
OMG throat cancer would be so nice right now.
Nah, Kamala had a stance on Palestine therefore this is the okay alternative. /s
Good thing that situation is completely resolved now /s
It was that laugh.
It was so bad that we had to make the Palestinians suffer more by letting a fascist win instead.
GO AMERICA!!!
The media is mostly controlled by republicans and anti-left billionaire centrists, so yes msnbc wants you to think people who care about gaza are the only people responsible for the last election just like they want you to believe that trans people “going too far” are why gavin newsome will lose the general election in 2028 (despite a large portion of democrats being LGBTQ voters and him falling into many right wing pitfalls on the issue)
I haven’t seen any math that holds up that gaza lead to Trump’s win on its own. What it likely did is create a lack of volunteers that led democrats to lose. You can’t scold people into knocking on doors, that’s a “lead by example” situation.
Democrats stepped on a lot of fucking rakes by trying to triangulate immigration and homelessness as well as catering their messaging to (and enriching right wing media with ad revenue in the process) people who will never vote for them.
Specifically Trump has also said Elon helped him rig the election. Elon musk and other social media owners hire people that understand psychology and will make AI clones of the most annoying people they can find and bury twitter in bots emulating those people just like they already find the people that upset conservatives the most (scientists have found conservatives overreact to disgust) and use that to ragebait them constantly. I’ve seen people calling themselves anarchists on this site who mimic media talking points about “online leftists”. Psychology works.
Assume somebody that makes more in a day than you will make in 100 lifetimes is spending a small fraction of their money trying to make you blame the people next to you for your problems instead of themselves because billionairs are doing exactly that.
If there are future elections any time soon, knocking on doors is going to be a lot more effective than screaming into an internet void full of chat bots that all disappear after elections. But if democrats spend all their money and goodwill buying ads on fox news again we’re doomed.
She smiled too much. I’d rather have fascism.
Howard Dean celebrated too loudly once and i just don’t think i’ll ever get over that
"Had a stance’ lol she’s voluntarily complicit in a fucking genocide just like the rest of the corporate dems, you’re just upset that you weren’t allowed to trade palestinian lives for your own comfort and security
Goddamn.
I literally just started internetting today and you’ve already subjected me to the dumbest comment I’ll see all day.
I mean I guess I can see it as glass half full. It’ll only get better for the rest of the day.
Welcome to reality where politicians can’t just break international ties with a geographically strategic ally because a bunch of people want to ignore geopolitics and operate 100% off their feelings.
By the way, how’s Trump looking on Palestine?
you’re just upset that you weren’t allowed to trade palestinian lives for your own comfort and security
Is that why I’m upset? Good thing she lost and palestinian lives are perfectly fine now.
Correct, you couldn’t care less about anything that happens as long as it doesn’t affect you. Harris could have won if she’d been willing to disavow Israel’s genocidal bullshit and believably commit to policy changes that would actually help the working class and reign in billionaires, but she said plainly that nothing would change because that’s what her billionaire donors told her to say and she doesn’t give a shit about anything but getting paid.
You are detached from reality mate. Neither option would have helped the Palestinian people. So there were no realistic choices on the table that would have solved that issue.
Instead, people got sold a bag of rhetoric and lies, like the ones you’re peddling, and we got the worst case scenario by a measurement so far removed from the other candidates that it has a likely real chance to end democracy as we know it it the US. Its already happening.
So well done, you fucking nonce.
So you admit the Democrats fully support the genocide in Israel and yet you’re still busy criticising individual voters for the failures of your party? And then you accuse me of lying even though you just admitted I’m right, albeit in the most backhanded way possible. You’re a spineless morally bankrupt hypocrite. You stand for absolutely nothing, you deserve Trump and worse.
you deserve Trump and worse.
Says the dipshit who appears to have not voted in the most likely manner to prevent him from being in power because they were too busy crying about a single issue that dwarfs the situation we now find ourselves in.
None of the things you said are accurate or true.
You’re doing what’s called a loaded question plus a lot of a strawman logical fallacies here so I’m disinclined to attempt to answer you in good faith when you’ve shown none :) .
But hey, good luck with whatever the fuck it is you seem to have going on in your head. I hope you feel like a morally superior person while trump’s administration puts migrant families into concentration camps, kills Venezuelans by the boatload, disrupts the global stability of the world, threatens our neighbors with our military, deploys our military into our cities, and funds the largest gestapo organization in world history while he keeps supplying Israel with all the weapons they need to keep bombing the Palestinians.
You really showed us. The people who apparently deserve trump because they voted for Kamala. lol.
“I have morals and care about people, that’s why you deserve bad things to happen!”
Correct, you couldn’t care less about anything that happens as long as it doesn’t affect you
I like how you know me so well. Like I wasn’t at the Palestinian protests last week in London yelling at the Met police for arresting perfectly innocent protestors.
I’ll leave it at this though single-issue voting is fucking stupid.
There were a whole lot more issues with her campaign than just her unwavering support for Israel, her explicit commitment to a wildly unpopular and unsustainable status quo and her baffling attempts to court conservatives clearly didn’t do her any favors. But even if that weren’t the case being a single issue voter is entirely justifiable when he single issue is a fucking genocide.
being a single issue voter is entirely justifiable when he single issue is a fucking genocide.
I’ll ask again. How’s Trump doing on Palestine?
And THAT is why single issue voting is for fucking losers.
being a single issue voter is entirely justifiable when he single issue is a fucking genocide.
Not when all the alternative was “more fucking genocide with a side of fascism”
So you’re fine with genocide as long as there are no consequences for you lol, standard liberal
being a single issue voter is entirely justifiable when he single issue is a fucking genocide
Ah, as opposed to the orange man, whose diverse issues include the disintegration of the US, the shakeup of the world economy favoring US enemies, his self-enrichment at the expense of US taxpayers, a scandalous sex trafficking cover-up, the prosecution of people of color possibly leading to a domestic genocide by white supremacists, the exascerbation of domestic violence, deepening the class divide while eradicating the middle class, the prolongation of the Russo-Ukrainian war, and, of course, that same genocide with a bonus resort for the rich while driving everyone out of Gaza! Genius fucking move right there. You did it, you saved Palestine!
Did Donald say all those things? Is that why he is the president now?
Trump won by appealing to his base, who do not give a shit about those things. Harris did the exact opposite, abandoned progressives and campaigned on the continuation of a wildly unpopular status quo and outreach to conservatives/“centrists” who she had no chance with anyway. She literally had campaign appearances with Liz fucking Cheney, I’d absolutely love to see what sort of mental gymnastics you can pull to justify that shit.
She literally had campaign appearances with Liz fucking Cheney
Yeah, she got prominent conservatives to speak out publicly against Donald Trump. That’s not exactly a bad thing. Did it swing the election? No. Did it cause her to lose? No.
mental gymnastics you can pull to justify that shit
Can’t compete with the ones you’re pulling. Go sign up for the Olympics, you’d surely win gold.
And Trump fires said genocide on while Harris was still sending aid.
Harris has been the recipient of over 9 million dollars from AIPAC. Do you think AIPAC is a charity? You think they can’t figure out whether a politician they’ve donated to is doing what they want or not? Or is this just another case of “bad when the other team does it/fine when my team does it”?
Sounds like you’re the one complicit in a genocide
“No u” lol try harder loser
🍆💦😜
Cope
That’s a humorous amount of projection.
Lol right I’m sure you’re laughing right now and not seething at being called out for your amoral bullshit, totally believable
With what? I can’t fix your thirst for genocide so I don’t let it bother me, Mr ruskybot
“Thirst for genocide” from someone still making excuses for corporate dems lol, you can keep accusing everyone who disagrees with you of being a bot/troll/russian but it isn’t going to make you any less complicit
Correction: The Heritage Foundation stole your free speech.
“We took the freedom of speech away,” President Donald Trump boasted in his opening remarks at his “antifa roundtable” Wednesday.
Wow… Despite the headline that still took me by surprise.
The only way my free speech will be taken is from my cold, dead lips.
Do like Disney and instead of using actual American flags, use close approximations. Any action taken against you for burning a flag with 54 stars can net you a pretty penny in a civil suit!
Use the swastika Nazi America flags from Peacemaker.
Burn swastikas. Watch them squirm.
And americans shake their fat fists while cheering.
Free speech maximalism. So much free speech for the likes of The Annoying Orange; zero for any unpersons.
something like half the bill of rights.
Don’t worry. We never had free speech. Here, watch: kill Trump and save us all. Ban in 3, 2, 1…
This is Lemmy, champ.
I usually get banned for calling for the death of the fascist Trump… but if the rules have changed, I’m fine with that.
You do know that freedom of speech protects you from government sanctions for speech, right? Last I checked the Fediverse wasn’t the government. So the moderators and admins here are free to say: “we don’t want you here” and ban you and nobodies freedom of speech was hurt.
Private organisations could always exclude you from their premise, same as you are free to exclude them from your premise. That’s called house rules.
Yeah and I can just go get another account like I do every week or so. So it doesn’t matter what the RuLeS are.
You won’t make another account. I labeled you a cuck almost a month ago, and it stands true.
lol what do I do to get Cuck?
Don’t remember or care.
Indontthinknyunknownwhatthatwordmeans
0, -1, -2, -3…

Mods must be sleeping…. KILL TRUMP NOW
Well that’s just a good and practical idea 🤷
Nah, assassinations tend to have poor political outcomes. It creates martyrs and draws more to follow the cause, while excusing more extreme retribution. Political violence is more effective when targeting the systems that support the oppression.
I’m just hoping for a stroke that gives him locked in syndrome for a few years so he can experience hell on earth in case Dante’s hell doesn’t exist.
Oh ya, the assassination of the healthcare CEO made that guy a martyr.
