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.
Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.

It’s a fake hand!! They removed trump’s hand!! WTF??
I am determined as God is my witness to start the Trump fake hand conspiracy theory. His hand isn't showing signs of an undisclosed illness. It's a fake painted Halloween costume hand because his hand was already removed. It's time.

This WSJ article adds some fascinating context to the NYT article that has the mother of a 14 year old model brought to Mar-a-Lago for a party having Maples come up to her and saying keep those girls away from these men and my husband. Maples denies she said it.

There is so much about MAGA that like Trump’s M.O. is about forcing those who oppose them to engage and “participate” in or witness their domination. An entire regime of people who want more than anything to be seen performing power.
"Any artist cancelling their show at the Trump Kennedy Center over political differences isn't courageous or principled—they are selfish, intolerant, and have failed to meet the basic duty of a public artist: to perform for all people"- Kennedy Center spokesperson Roma Daravi
Kennedy Center vows to sue musician who canceled performance over Trump name change
The Kennedy Center is planning legal action after jazz musician Chuck Redd canceled an annual holiday concert. Redd pulled out after President Trump's name appeared on the building.

It's get old seeing Todd Blanche on NBC lying to protect his pedophile boss. Todd also says there is nothing about Donald Trump that is bad in those files. Bullshit. We've already seen too much evidence.
