You want to "TARGET HATE SPEECH? START WITH THE GUY WHO OWNS "Truth Social." She essentially wants the power to determine if YOU ARE ENTITLED TO YOUR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS, or a fucking PRISON CELL. FUCK HER.
Bondi said her Justice Department would enforce hate speech investigations after the right-wing activist was assassinated.
Theres free speech and then theres hate speech, and there is no place, especially now, especially after what happened to Charlie, in our society.

(24,336 posts)...I didn't post it for a number of reasons. I didn't think it was possible for ANYONE to be MORE LOATHSOME than Jesse Watters, but Gutfeld absolutely holds that distinction.
Short version, and I'm not going to post a link because it's Gutfeld and Fox, but it was an argument on the show "The Five" in which one of the panelists brought up the "both sides" concept and he yelled "WE DON'T CARE."
I think it would be a true stretch of the imagination to say that 100% of all Republicans "had no idea" that, following the assault on Paul Pelosi, Don Jr (among others) posted hammer "jokes" on Twitter.
They know, and they don't care. Trump gave them his benediction with Charlottesville and "fine people on both sides."
So they get to pick and choose who is fine, and who is not. All MAGAts are fine. All "libs" are not. And I was only being MILDLY sarcastic in my O/P when I said that of Bondi wanted "crack down" on hate speech, maybe she should START WITH TRUMP. It's his freaking BRAND, he knows nothing else but hate, sarcasm, trolling, and bullying. Remember the First Nude's first term "campaign" to "stamp out cyberbullying?"

(60,437 posts)She is going to get up ibn the morning, look in the mirror, and tell whoever stares back, "you're targeted!"
That should be about as effective as dropping a dehumidifier in Lake Erie.

Just another excuse to curtail free speech and thought.
