Edit: lol, he doesn’t even call for compromise. He just says it make America great or the highway. The man has never been weaker, but he is still trying to pick a fight. | ||

Not sure why, but I find a bunch of elected congressmen continually chanting "USA" and clapping at every second statement to be pretty juvenile. I was trying to think of a word to describe it. Juvenile seems to fit very well. | ||

I like the rebuttal. It wasn't really a rebuttal in the sense of going point for point with the SOTU, but laid out a contrasting vision of where the Dems want to take the country. I liked her energy too. The backdrop of people was kind of weird, though. | ||

If it is in print, it is libel. - JJJ But it is nice that the champions of Free Speech turn to the goverment to silence other groups and people through lawsuits. Because free speech is all well and good if it is them, but it isn't for anyone else. Seriously, the most amusing part of all of this is that their arguments are the same arguments used to create hate speech legislation. They want to be protected from speech that would harm their ability to function in a free society, while they employ speech that does the exact same thing. But is always nice when people cheer on the racists and white supremacists, not because they agree with racism, but because they want to see a group dedicated to fighting racism taken down a couple pegs. I don't think it's inconsistent at all. Introvert is the first I've heard of someone being against defamation laws. Presumably he has been against it for some time. But I don't think any of these people that are defending themselves against defamation were against the defamation laws before, but suddenly changed their minds. It simply didn't come up before because they hadn't been defamed sufficiently to push back. Libel and slander is means there must be a false statement that can be objectively demonstrated to be false amongst other things. Hate speech is a nebulous term that if used in the way I've seen it used, would include the Bible. What is hate? Is it something that is disagreeable to you? Very often that seems to be the measure. | ||
