‘Free speech’ latest.

This is *extremely* alarming — White House fires a career federal prosecutor because he (1) went after a politically connected businessman and (2) criticized Trump during a 2020 congressional bid.

“White House fires a career prosecutor” is itself unprecedented.

Crikey a lot of us might not get into the penetentiary that is US. I was relying on free speech allegedly supported by Mr Musk.

I think we went beyond *extremely* alarming quite some time ago

Can't someone rig an Executive Order that sacks Trump. He wouldn't or couldn't read it before he scribbles all over it, and I'm sure the courts wouldn't overturn it. Problem solved.

You've just been talking about those who believe ridiculous lies about the UK, re: the #FreeSpeech nonsense of Trump pandering to his base...

If this is an example of Americans who believe 💩 & what they believe...

Can you imagine what is being said on Twitter?! 🤯

Free speech only applies to those on the far right. The rest of us are 'unhuman and so free speech doesn't apply to us.

No, we’re radicalised liberal lefties and #PresidentMusk (s) and #VPTrump (s) worse kind of enemies. And for that I am eternally grateful

No good for justice itself, either.

Talking about free speech, James...
Maybe J D Vance has a valid point - though possibly not in the way he thinks he has.

peashen.bsky.social•81 days ago

Can he actually do that?

ampallanguk.bsky.social•81 days ago

Who's going to stop him. Its only a matter of time before the clash between the courts and him comes to an end when he just tells them he's "going to ignore them" and there is "nothing they can do to stop me".

I’m hoping that there might be something the courts can do. There is supposed to be a balance between the three branches of federal government congress, judiciary and the executive. No?

markj56.bsky.social•81 days ago

While federal judges have clear authority to order sanctions, including fines and arrest, they ultimately rely on law enforcement and federal prosecutors to enforce penalties in the face of continued noncompliance.

Raiding a Quaker meeting house in Westminster discussing climate and Gaza. A chilling assault on free-speech. Something I never thought I’d say but @ledbydonkeys it’s time to do Keir Starmer and the Labour Party next. #GazaGenocide #climateemergency

In Westminster?!?!?! When I heard the report I assumed (and was shocked) that it was USA. What the actual? On whose authority was this done and under what pressure?

badgersgetabadname.bsky.social•81 days ago

It would have met conditions for policing bill.
Arrest was idiotic, people did warn about stripping experienced cops out and replacing with cheaper cops with less experience...

No devices taken being a massive clue.

They are stone cold hypocrites. I hate them all.

lozq76.bsky.social•82 days ago

The hypocrisy is off the scale

ampallanguk.bsky.social•81 days ago

"Its different when we do it. Rules are for the other side to follow, while we can ignore them to prove that we are all powerful and god like. Also, we're scared of our own shadows and hate the woke Jesus and love our Jesus who has machine guns and shit.": Those two faced c**ts.

Very Freudian typo…

Love how you keep separating “transgender issues” from everything that’s going on when trans people are having their rights stripped at a blistering pace and the Lemkim Institute has put out a literal genocide warning.

The real question is are these the people who will open law firms that will fight the corrupt government.
