4. Fucking what? This is literally illegal.

Fuck you Rubio!

10. I'm pretty sure our bought-and-paid-for SCOTUS will say that it is.

19. All thanks to Fox and the Heritage Foundation.

They stole SCOUTS from us and are quickly rubber stamping the way to authoritarianism. Remember Fox's whole thing about "we made Brett Kavanaugh cry???". For a party that says "fuck your feelings", they sure do have some feelings.

5. I guess we're not all endowed by our creator with inalienable rights

After all. And Kash and Marco, don’t keep saying that Charlie Kirk died for freedom of speech when you’re pulling this shit please.

6. And "limited online activity could itself signal an attempt to hide objectionable behavior."

According to a Reuters report citing an internal cable, consular offices were directed in June to apply “comprehensive and thorough vetting” for student and exchange visas. The memo emphasized reviewing applicants who may harbor “hostile attitudes toward our citizens, culture, government, institutions, or founding principles.”
The latest cable from Rubio instructed officers to be alert to applicants with histories of political activism linked to violence. It warned that limited online activity could itself signal an attempt to hide objectionable behavior.

9. First Amendment Issue

and define “ celebrate”.

[OnionPatch]

17. Exactly

If I’m not sad that the dude is gone, does that mean I’m “celebrating?”

[sinkingfeeling]

11. I'm old enough to remember when the US supported freedom of speech.

[Doodley]

12. Kirk said Biden should be executed. That is every bit as bad as celebrating a death.

[Irish_Dem]

14. Visitors to the US must adore evil.

Or get thrown out.

15. Rascist, asshat 🧩 of 💩 🧌 before he died

And his murder did nothing to change my mind.

Don't let them gaslight you!

16. Didn't Rubio's family flee Cuba because of the same shit he's doing now?

18. As vile as Charlie Kirk was, one thing he was correct about was free speech

Last year, Kirk posted on X: “Hate speech does not exist legally in America. There’s ugly speech. There’s gross speech. There’s evil speech. And ALL of it is protected by the First Amendment. Keep America free.”

If Kirk was consistent (not a guarantee, I know) then he would be against these actions to silence people who posted less than flattering things about him.

Like releasing the Epstein files, the best way to honor him is to absolutely NOT try to use the Government to silence his critics.
