Republicans Block Senate Vote to Release Epstein Files

[TemplarKormac]

So free speech as long as it doesn't inconvenience anyone?

Pardon?

When your "free speech" is blocking traffic on the freeway, it ceases being "free speech." You are now inconveniencing the lives of millions of Californians. Potentially blocking first responders from getting to their emergencies.

No sir.

 

[TemplarKormac]

How do you know his shooting was political?

Gawd spoke?

Gads man, take a look at the setting. Look at the victim.

So, "yes" then.

So you pulled it from your arse.

Fair enough.

 

[cnm]

I mean, for all we know it was a jilted lover.

No. It's not free speech anymore when you block traffic and cause real inconvenience to others on the freeway.

How do you not grasp that?

If I stand in the way of your front door and keep you from leaving your home, you know, because I don't like your politics or you did something politically that I disagree with, am I expressing my free speech?

Am I? Think about it.

It seems like we've been here before...

When your 'free speech' becomes a direct action to harm or impede someone, it is no longer free speech, is it?

 

[Rawley]

That's a cool deflection, but would you like to comment on the topic?

I did. Your party is scum. Schumer is an asshole. He doesn't give **** about these files. He doesn't care about these woman, or holding anyone accountable. If he did, he would have passed this five years ago when he was majority leader.

And you are no better than them, shilling for these assholes.

Cult ^^^

Maybe because there are more pressing matters now, since Kirk's assassination. The national focus has shifted--drastically.

I think knowing if the President of the US is a pedophile is more important...

Charlie Kirk killing is bad, but hey he got a Congressional Moment of Silence, Sandy Hook victims didn't.... Sorry, Charlie Kirk death is already over milked by the MAGA after a couple of days...
MAGA over egged it when they started saying the shooter was a left wing extremist... He probably was but far from certain... The two attempts on Trump was from a previous Trump voter and a Registered Republican Conservative.

Charlie Kirk has said some pretty bad homophobic stuff.
Anti IVF, and equated it to Auschwitz . Pretty extreme view especially if you were born using IVF.

Even his last words he was spreading a misinformation (massively debunked), a narrative about Transgender people.

“Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?” the student asked.

“Too many,” Kirk responded to applause from the crowd.

Kozak informed him that the total was five and continued: “Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?”

“Counting or not counting gang violence?” Kirk replied before, just seconds later, he was struck in the neck by the bullet and fell from his chair. He was rushed to the hospital but died of his injury shortly afterwards.

Kirk has spreading a lie that Transgender are more likely to be Mass Shooters...

Note: It would be highly ironic if the shooter turns out to be transgender..

Is a "sit in" free speech? How about the bridge at Selma?

Free speech is more than just shouting from the sidelines.

Lost in the shuffle of the news cycle the Senate GOP blocked the release of the Epstein files.

Nearly unanimously.

Maybe they thought no one would notice with the rest of the crap that's happening?
