  That is how the government is trying to save face now that Disney decided to stand up to them. Their threats are public, their later lies do not change them.

      Didn't trump post truths about firing Kimmel and Colbert? this seems to be a pattern > Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences, This is true, but the 1st amendment applies to the government - when the government is limiting speech, it is time to be concerned–especially given trump's track record (attempt to usurp Biden with Jan 6th, political violence comments, "jokes" about a third term, etc.)

      Free speech? The very thing you were just very concerned about? Also, there's no evidence that guy was leftist at all.

        His mother openly says he was left-wing; the governor said he was left-wing; he has a sexual relationship with a male transitioning to female who is also a furry; he cites Bella Ciao on the ammunition; has a "Notices bulge" meme reference also on the ammunition; and you're telling me there's no evidence? Duh, he’s a leftist; and the fourth violent one the right wing can name from the last year alongside Ryan Routh, Thomas Crooks, and Robin Westman. Denial doesn’t solve problems.

        It was a Groypers' member. Full stop.

        Full stop? Lol. The right-wing groyper theory is completely dead. Tyler Robinson is a leftist who killed in the name of his leftism. None of the evidence contradicts it.

        What evidence do you have that he "killed in the name of his leftism?" As far as I know, there is no evidence of a specific "leftist" motive and no connection has been found to "leftist" organizations. Bear in mind that many Christians were opposed to Charlie Kirk's politics, and right-wingers didn't feel he went far enough. So that alone isn't evidence of "killing in the name of his leftism." The memes aren't hard evidence either, since they're just memes.
