Uh oh….don is going to have to explain why he’s illegally threatening the president with death, a violation of his bail in every trial he’s facing and a slap in the face to his own security detail, and why he’s continuing to threaten the judges daughter despite the updated gag order on Monday specifically precluding him from attacking family members.
It better be a good explanation or it could be prison time or at a minimum a total gag order, no statements at all, no “truths”, and none by his staff.

BTW - despite maga “lawyers” claiming it is, gag orders are NOT violations of first amendment rights, they are a voluntary but binding agreement a defendant makes as a condition of pre trial release, something they have no right to.

Bonus - with abortion rights on the ballot in Florida and 70% in favor of abortion rights, it becomes a swing state likely to turn blue. All democrats have to do is remind the public how many rights the right is stripping from them and who is fighting to preserve them. 😂
And Arizona just put Abortion rights on the ballot too, handing most of Arizona to Democrats.

Second bonus- Another maga racist white nationalist and anti semite, Gregg Blevins, is being recalled in Oklahoma.

Today’s MAGA treason- Jan. 6 insurrectionist Chris Alberts confessing while taking the stand today in his own defense at trial that he had a concealed weapon with 25 hollow point bullets when he violently and repeatedly attacked law enforcement at the Capitol. So much for your claims they were unarmed, as if that hadn’t already been proven false time and time again.
Jan. 6 apologist and conspiracy theorist (who, like you, claimed BLM and ANTIFA planned and carried out Jan 6, not Trump and his Trump army trying to “take our country back” with “trial by combat”) David Sumrall who the defense called as their final witness was wholly discredited when he was asked to identify the other violent criminals he knew that were part of what he called peaceful exercise of first amendment rights and he refused saying he wouldn’t “dox” those innocent people (who he claimed were BLM and ANTIFA remember, and now claims were FBI agents) by identifying them to police. D’oh! It all kinda fell apart on him, didn’t it?

This video still doesn't apply to the 'kids' tag. That tag is for stuff that children might find enjoyable.

As far as the campaign of terror, I agree that it sucks and they shouldn't be subjected to it in a perfect world.

This isn't that world. Sadly, from a legal standpoint, any action taken against the people exercising their first amendment rights would likely result in lawsuits. I can't speak to whether the school, law enforcement, or the mayor issued statements denouncing this because I couldn't find if they did. They should have and would have been legally within their rights to do so, but beyond that they CAN DO NOTHING.

Meh, I don't think states should fly it, but I will defend to the last an individual's right to fly it if they choose to do so. I don't have to agree with them, but I would still defend it. Trying to shove people's first amendment rights down the gutter of political correctness has done nothing to help us. If anything it has made it harder to identify the crazy people.

I didn't say that he didn't do anything wrong. But just because he arrested someone who was later released or found innocent doesn't mean that he's abusing his power or the person that he arrested. I also did not claim that the men were endangering the public, I just noted that their freedom of speech was not without limit. And that's not a Twain quote.

So if the Police in this situtation weren't doing anything wrong why were the men that were detained released as soon and Ranking Officers showed up? The officer who detained these men clearly overstepped his bounds.

>> ^Fantomas:

How exactly is this video 'worldaffairs'?


Oops. It's not. I shouldn't have tagged it as such - changed to news which is what I was going for.

Your video, First Amendment rights can be terminated: Cops versus camera, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Furthermore these men were AP accredited news men sent there to do their job and were in no way endangering the public by doing so. Therefore your quote by Mark Twain does not apply in this situation. The tag should more accurately read "Police Abuse of Power".
>> ^DrewNumberTwo:

Meh, the courts will sort this one out. The cop was right, though, that even though the First Amendment does offer protection, it does not offer complete and total protection. You cannot yell fire in a crowded theater, etc. The tag of Police Abuse is hyperbole.

Hyperbole is "obvious and intentional exaggeration" and is exactly the word that I meant to use. I take it that your reference to the 14th amendment refers to section 1, specifically "No State shall... enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law..." Are you suggesting that due process was not followed? The officer gave what he believed was a lawful order. The order wasn't followed, so he made an arrest. It's possible that the officer is incorrect, but as long as he gets a fair trail then due process has been followed. As for the 8th Amendment... cruel and unusual punishment? Hyperbole indeed.

Anyone have an idea what story they were trying to cover?


"Two NBC journalists were handcuffed and threatened by Chicago police after attempting to report on the murder of a 6-year-old girl yesterday, NBC Chicago reports.

Another NBC journalist was also detained by police outside Mt. Sinai Hospital, where the girl had been taken following a fatal shooting during city wide violence over the weekend.

Police were called to the hospital shortly after reporters arrived on the scene. The journalists said they had already moved away from a public sidewalk and across the street at the request of the police."

I'd like to read more about that. What has their news organization done to back them up?


At least one of them (possible both) were supposedly NBC affiliated journalist/cameramen. Msnbc has had this video on the front page for most of the day - though the one there now is a much shorter and heavily edited version than the one originally linked here. I wish they would have kept the longer one up.

Hyperbole is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech. It may be used to evoke strong feelings or to create a strong impression, but is not meant to be taken literally.


-- I meant Police Abuse tag in a purely literal sense. If you don't think clear violations of the 14th and 8th amendments warrant the Police Abuse tag then I don't think I could ever convince you how grievous of a violation you just witnessed.

These guys were lucky that they were backed up by their news organizations and that others were filming the event.

Yep. Silly. Simplistic, myopic, intentionally misguided, unable to detect nuance, silly silly SILLY man.

You are a silly silly SILLY man. I was in the middle of writing exactly why you are a silly silly SILLY man and unfortunately lost the whole thing.
I don't have the energy to start over. But I do want to repeat the main argument -- I know that it is a waste of time to show you exactly how you are a silly silly SILLY man, uninformed, misguided, and trapped by some weird anti-tax obsession that beggars all logic of what it means to live in a wealthy society that provides services and protection for its people.
Silly silly SILLY man. That is my main point.
PS: I do taxes for a living. I have done more than one tax return for "middle class" folks who had up to $70,000 in taxable income who paid ZERO TAX. I am perfectly fine with those folks paying more taxes. Doesn't bother me a bit.

Shouldn't you be mocking those exercising their first amendment rights?

Oh, so you admit that the "tax the rich" plan has no intent on actually taxing the rich? Nice.
