Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct?
Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.

Trump, the most unlawful president, even worse than Nixon, seeks retribution from those who followed the law to investigate him. He calls Biden’s DOJ weaponized, but he is the only one who has ever used the DOJ to prosecute innocent citizens who worked to expose his crimes.🔄

Please help spread the word. No one is reporting it and no response from FEMA. The PNW is flooding and whole communities are completely gone. They are supposed to have another atmospheric river hit in 2-3 days.

I can't wait until the United States cleanses itself of all the ugly traces of Donald Trump. Take his name off buildings. Remove all the tacky gold bric-a-brac from the White House walls. Bulldoze his vulgar ballroom. Restore MLK, Jr Day and Juneteenth at parks. #Fumigate
Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.
They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

Since I haven’t seen anyone mention this: When the U.S. commits war crimes it puts our troops in danger also, as it gives a green light to other countries that they can do the same to us

The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker.

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.
