I just now saw the clip. The black guy was just being a typical democrat, saying a democrat knows what's best over an actual parent. That the government should be raising kids, not fathers. I don't see it as a racial attack. Just a difference in ideologies.

It's true, Trump was a vicious Democrat before he switched parties.
Hopefully, Trump gets exposed for being a Democrat so that a Democrat can take power.

Like, if only the Weimar would have simply censored all hateful propaganda, then the German people wouldn't notice they were getting screwed royally with the war reparations and rampant inflation...
And then OF COURSE! Hitler wouldn't have come to power... what kind of retarded argument is that?

@TheDredPriateRoberts
yeah but the point stands right? you seem to imply the lack of censorship allowed him to take control, however censorship allowed him to keep it, expand and everything else that came with the rise to power.
Exactly. The people supported censorship along with Hitler because the Weimar was so corrupt and inept, which had nothing to do with a lack of censorship. That's an insanely inane armchair arguement to say the Weimar should have been more totalitarian to avoid Hitler's rise to power.

For security of course. See China.

Really, the term "likely" simply attempts to codify what "someone" might interpret as a thoughtcrime, assuming both intent AND an aggrievance with no evidence. That's 2 Orwellian birds killed with one Canadian stone.

Read those 3 cases about "fighting words" tossed out by the SCOTUS. It's pretty interesting. Those cases are fairly recent and the standard for precedence.

@PressF4Respect
Since the ancient Chaplinsky ruling, every case sent up to the SCOTUS has thrown out a conviction based on fighting words. one of the more recent being,
The Court concluded, "Let there be no mistake about our belief that burning a cross in someone's front yard is reprehensible. But St. Paul has sufficient means at its disposal to prevent such behavior without adding the First Amendment to the fire."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cohen_v._California is another less than archaic case thrown out by the SCOTUS.
https://www.thefire.org/first-amendment-library/decision/gooding-warden-v-wilson/ is also another case thrown out by the SCOTUS.
Not a single conviction from "fighting words" has been upheld by the SCOTUS since Chaplinsky, and it's precisely because America has a 1st amendment that can't be restricted from overbroad terms like generic "fighting words."
The term "likely" shouldn't ever be a standard of evidence. It either is or it is not.

There is a huge difference between likely to lead to a breach of the peace
leads to a breach of the peace.
One is based on a premonition, the other is evidence.
There are more than a few (American) cases I can show where "fighting words" were ruled impossible to show evidence for because there was never any evidence that any word would necessarily lead to a fight in any given instance. That's because American law is based on evidence, not augury.

Exactly. They don't need any evidence at all. Just a premonition. It's law by augury. The apex of arbitrary law.

many conservatives today are for disbanding the EPA, a federal agency that Nixon (a conservative) established.
I'm pretty sure Nixon would have disbanded the EPA if he knew it would mutate into a monstrosity that puts delta smelts before people. Clean air and water are fine, but enough with the technocracy overreach with audacious arbitrary goals, most of which are used punitively on those who refuse to donate to the ruling party coffers, both left and right.
In a direct and often biting decision, U.S. District Judge Oliver Wanger, a liberal judge, said the Fish and Wildlife Service had ordered a protection plan under the Endangered Species Act through a biological opinion that is "arbitrary, capricious and unlawful."
In the same breath, Wanger reiterated his position that the smelt is deserving of federal protection. But he does not agree with the standing scientific reasoning behind cutting back on water flows to districts and farms in the Central Valley to protect the tiny fish.
"The public cannot afford sloppy science and uni-directional prescriptions that ignore California's water needs," the judge wrote, adding that the state Legislature had failed "to provide the means to assure an adequate water supply for both the humans and the species dependent on the delta."
Moreover, in a remarkable side note that cuts to the heart of the many stresses in the Northern California region, Wanger appeared to suggest he does not see a legal avenue for finding a solution for the many interests, farms, wildlife and urban consumers that rely on the delta's water.
"The law alone cannot afford protection to all the competing interests at stake in these cases," Wanger said.
The bi-op at the center of the legal scrutiny was approved by FWS in 2008 to protect the smelt from an ecosystem that has deteriorated under pressure from farmers, developers, an ever-increasing population, drought, invasive predators and chemical runoff.
The ruling remands the bi-op back to the Fish and Wildlife Service to correct its work, which lawyers close to the case said should take at least nine months to complete. Those behind the lawsuit -- a coalition of urban and rural water districts in Central and Southern California -- praised the decision as a victory for common sense over what they argue was a faulty recovery plan from the outset.
"This is a great victory for sound science, Californians dependent on the [Central Valley Project] and [State Water Project], and, not least, the smelt," said Christopher Carr, an attorney for the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California in the case. "It requires the agency to go back to the drawing board and use the best available science in analyzing the impacts of the projects on the smelt."
The Central Valley Project refers to the federal half of Northern California's water infrastructure, with the reservoir at Mount Shasta representing the biggest source controlled by the Bureau of Reclamation. The State Water Project refers to the state half, with Lake Oroville representing the biggest state-controlled reservoir.
About 25 million California residents rely on the delta for water, which together with the San Francisco Bay represents the largest estuary on the West Coast of North America.

No. Fox News isn't a panicporn site, demanding a revolution in the streets, a government lockdown of the citizens for a flu-like virus, and the hatred of people who don't think as you do. Also if you don't exhibit the proper level of hate, you will be doxxed and canceled.
The only reason people tune in to CNN is to get their daily 2 minutes of hate in. Just like the socialists in the book 1984.

4. The "Civil Rights" movement did worse for so-called "blacks" than it did good. It was a means to ingratiate so called blacks into the public entitlements system, specifically the so called "black woman" where she would be indoctrinated and manipulated by the State to accept it as her new Patriarch.
It had good intentions and would have been great if the "movement" stopped at the constitutional amendments and called it a day.
But the Left elites had other "ideas" to expand on that success, such as systemic segregation by denying school vouchers, rewarding fatherless children, and having divergent policing policies, forcing degentrification in blighted urban areas and essentially systemically walling off the desirables.
