I also just learned that on the other platform, it's acceptable for a guy with 1488 in his username to call someone the N-word.

That is in spite of the platform's own reporting including racial slurs as being against the rules.

Trump even said that he took free speech away.

Wait til he finds out how old a lot of the antifa people are.

I wrote this same message on the other platform. It was bombarded with comments in support of the "I love Hitler" comments and telling me that I'm a Nazi, a communist and telling me that I want to kill people.
That happened between midnight and 6 am ET, you know, when so many Americans are online.

MAGA: Stop calling us Nazis. It's not fair. We're not Nazis.
Also MAGA: I love Hitler.

I am so glad that ICE is arresting the worst and most dangerous criminals like 13 year olds with no arrest history.

Just a little tip. If you're a business with a web site (as you should have) and the site has an email address, you need to check the emails.
I know of two local companies that don't answer the phone or seem to check their email.

Or maybe this time, they blame their own party. We'll never know!

Let's be fair. The last time Republicans saw a protest, it looked like terrorists attacking the Capitol. They think that's what protest looks like.

Well, finally something that I agree with him on.

Yep. We have an idiot in the White House who's a male and gets ripped. We have an idiot as the Secretary of Defense who's a male and he's roundly criticized. We have a male wet paper towel as the Speaker of the House and he's roundly criticized. It's not a gender thing here.

Homan/Trump: ICE will deport the criminals, the worst of the worst. You know, fourth graders.

Mike Nellis @mikenellis.bsky.social · 5d

Multiple Chicago schools went on lockdown today because of ICE, including my son’s and the one I’m on the council of. Spent the last two hours standing outside, trying to make sure nothing happens to these kids. This is horrible.

Sounds like success to me. I stopped going out at night because of the 5 year olds running around murdering people. It was just too scary. Thank you ICE!

If the Democrats can't make this one line into an entire campaign ad, I don't even know what they're doing.
Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away"
Yes, he said those words.

Now we need thousands of US war veterans to protest this by burning flags.
They went to war for the US Constitution so people *could burn the US flag as a form of protest. He wants to take that away. Make their service meaningless. War veterans need to show him otherwise.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."
