Here are three rules you should know about “Hate Speech” and the First Amendment:
1. The First Amendment protects all ideas, loving, hateful, or in between.
In the United States, “hate speech” is just a political label, like “un-American speech” or “rude speech.” Some people use the phrase broadly, some more narrowly – but there’s no legal definition, because there is no “hate speech” exception to the First Amendment..
As the Supreme Court held in 1974, “Under the First Amendment there is no such thing as a false idea. However pernicious an opinion may seem, we depend for its correction not on the conscience of judges and juries but on the competition of other ideas.”
Or,
“…the proudest boast of our free speech jurisprudence is that we protect the freedom to express ‘the thought that we hate.’”
Andy’s remarks are not hate speech!
SLEEPY JOE
*BEFORE, it was OK. It was, well, quiet. Sleepy Joe was at the wheel, ???????……so quite and non-disturbing…………….
All was quiet! Really bad things that hurt our government, and its people and our future were going on behind the scenes. We didn’t know. Actually many of us don’t want to know. It is better not to know, it disturbes our sleep. We just want to enjoy the beauty of our surroundings and our friends and family.
EVERYTHING IS TOO LOUD NOW – TRUMP and MUSK are TOO LOUD! WE DON”T WANT TO KNOW
We all know that social security is going to run out of money sometime soon. We are told this by the media. This didn’t start with Trump!
Have you heard anything about how to fix this from your glorious leaders, both Repubs and Dems? NO – because it is too sensitive – they might lose votes. Votes for them are far more important than fixing your social security!
Well Trump and Musk are trying to fix it – they suggest possibly putting it in the stock market. This was actually suggested about 50 years ago when I was in my 30’s. I thought it was a terrible idea at the time. But people who could see into the future knew some changes would have to be made. But no elected person talked about it! Too dangerous for their reelection.
When social security was first started, 4 working people contributed to each social security check. Today it takes 16 working people to contribute to the money I get from my social security check.
Do you want this problem to be fixed or not? YES OR NO?
Here is what to do… I am going to do। it…. I am going to send a letter to my US representatives, Dems all of them, and I am going to ask them what they think would fix the problem of social security. It will be interesting if they will reply. My guess is they will sent a generalized form letter back or nothing at all. All they do now is denigrate Trump and Musk and try to scare you to death….Well, we’ll see……
