And yet, Trump has agreed to bail out Argentina by $20B--which American tax payers will fund. What ever happened to "America First"? Trump also will likely end up bailing out American farmers hammered by his own tariff policies-again, subsidies that American tax payers will fund. Are we winning yet?

So let me get this straight: Trump imposed crazy tariffs on China so, in response, China retaliated with their own tariffs on America. Result: U.S. farmers can longer sell their soybeans to their #1 market & are going bankrupt. Meanwhile, China switched to buying soybeans from Argentina. And yet...

Trump just threatened to sue ABC again for allowing Jimmy Kimmel back on the air, which is SUPER weird, because all of these Republicans said that the decision to pull Kimmelโ€™s show was a โ€œbusiness decision.โ€

Orlando City Commissioner Tony Ortiz just switched from Republican to Democratic.

โ€œThe Republican Party is not the party I signed up with... The marginalization of Latinos and immigrantsโ€”many of whom have helped build this countryโ€”is not leadership. Itโ€™s fear-based politics.โ€

Should the government censor speech it doesnโ€™t like?  Of course not. 

The FCC does not have a roving mandate to police speech in the name of the โ€œpublic interest.โ€

Who, in your view, should have the power to draw the line between a โ€œlieโ€ and โ€œfree speechโ€?  Government officials that want to stay in political power or the people that can hold them accountable ?

President Biden is right.

Political satire is one of the oldest and most important forms of free speech.

It challenges those in power while using humor to draw more people in to the discussion.

Thatโ€™s why people in influential positions have always targeted it for censorship.

Free speech is the counterweightโ€”it is democracyโ€™s check on government control.

Thatโ€™s why censorship is the authoritarianโ€™s dream.

After all, thereโ€™s a straight line from the soap box to the ballot box.  You retain freedom at both or neither.

they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by the process of law.

they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by violence.

the only lever by which they can obtain obedience is fear.

do not offer it to them.
