Biden* probably wasn't even aware that it was a thing. The dude is the walking definition of plausible deniability. He can't even tell the difference between his wife and his sister.

Macron, however is a purely evil fuck. Idiot Ted said "The good guys won" when Macron was elected.

Or that last summer's riots were "mostly peaceful".
You can spin endless conspiracy theories (for example, Russian collusion) or endless conspiracy facts.

You can claim any fool thing .... or wise thing... that you want. It's protected free speech. And the answer to stupid speech is rebuttal, not censorship or defamation.

There are some thing you CAN'T do:

You can't slag someone's reputation by making false claims about them, incite IMMINENT violence, defraud people, distribute child pornography, threaten people, violate copyright laws, or plan illegal behavior. Advertising is also not protected free speech.

I know that free speech disturbs a bunch of libtards here, and that they want to get rid of it right away, but free speech clause protects them, too, when they post hate speech or idiocies.


It doesn't protect defamation, tho. Might want to keep that in mind.



You can call someone a "he" if that's what they look like, or "she". You're not required to guess anyone's preferred pronoun.
You can "microagress" as long as it doesn't fall into the realm of "threat" (assault, in CA)
You can also question election results or dispute them.

If you were born with a dick, you're a HE.

If you weren't born with a dick, you're a SHE.

I don't give a fuck what you want me to call you otherwise.

If you don't like what I have to say, you're invited to stay the fuck away from me.

Period.

Well, that qualifies as a 'microagression' right there, SIX! Defining women as "not men".
How dare you????
