At some point the Supreme Court or someone is going to have to define what is considered free speech and just shooting your mouth off, and what is a crime. I know there are plenty of past cases, but it sure seems like a lot of people, starting with TFG, that are treasonous bastards. Well, I know he didn’t start it, but sure took it to the highest level.

What would you have to say to have charges and be thrown in jail? if he'd said that 20 years ago, the fBI would have his butt by now. ethe level of acceptance goes up and up and up...where does it end?

He wants to say he was acting in the scope of his employment. Who did he think employed him Donald Trump? In that case Joe Biden should now be his boss.

There are things to be genuinely fired up about, for example, the western half of the country being in a prolonged heat wave due to climate change.

What a waste of human effort.
