As a lawyer, here's the legality to the First Amendment.  You're free to act as a journalist, but if you use someone else's platform, they're free to kick you off for any reason.  If you start your own website, have your own server, you can do whatever the hell you want and have full 1A Constitutional Amendment protection. Now, here's the part that have put Social Media Tech Stocks in legal jeopardy.  There's actually lawsuits over Dallas Police Massacre and Pulse Massacre pending because of it.  If a tech company provides a platform but doesn't unduly interfere on that platform, then the Tech Company enjoys immunity from any actions that occur in real life because of that speech. Since Twitter and Facebook have been actively stamping out hate speech on the right while permitting ISIS to hold accounts and BLM to thrive, lawyers are arguing that their immunity has gone by the wayside because they have actually interfered in the organic flow of information. These lawsuits have been permitted to go forward.  I look for the trial judges to permit these suits to be heard, and I honestly expect a victory at trial, but these are more litmus test cases, and the way platforms are given latitude based off these cases will be ultimately decided by the Supreme Court.

Live in the DC area.  Take this one with a grain of salt & try not to inject politics into it.  The initial reports was this was drinking by both sides got out of hand, and then after reviewing the perp's social media account, they decided whoops, there might be a hate crime.  I'm always suspicious when the initial report is so vastly different from what's being alleged.  The lawyer in me speaking.

Screw impeachment, we should be talking about treason.

It's sad that still, we're seeing attempts by people in this forum to defend an incompetent and out of control president by using the "idea" of the woman who ran against him and lost. It's not fake news that Hillary Clinton lost the election. It is reality that she lost. Yet, some of you are still pretending that she won; and therefore, our real president should be able to do whatever he wants without being called out on it. This is childish and it shows why you voted for someone childish and disgusting to be president. You use the "idea" of her because you have no real defense of him. It's pathetic and like I said it shows why you voted the way you did. If you cannot define your support for him without using his failed opponent then you have no real defense. Simple as that.

First off, I'm not saying the reports are true or untrue.  Don't know.  Work as a lawyer in DC, went to school here for Undergraduate and Law degrees, and know many of the players through staffers I went to school with.  What I do know through knowing these people is that I would not trust Brennan, Clapper, or Susan Rice to dogsit for twenty minutes.  Brennan spied on Senate Staffers to see what they had on Bush era waterboarding, a clear violation of the law, and forced Dianne Feinstein to condemn him on the Senate floor, where btw, a good month of 2014 was spent discussing whether or not to fire Brennan. Credibility matters when making accusations, and that's something that whatever shreds were left were destroyed in the passage of the Iran deal, after it was revealed and bragged about that the Intelligence Community intentionally misled Congress to secure the deal's passage. It maybe true.  It might not be true.  Just don't get your hopes up.  Anyone who uses any of these three sources for anything will need serious corroboration.

Alex, I'm going with [citation needed] You're a Fucking Whore for 200 please.

@DennSedai: Let's see just how many e-mails, how many paper records, etc did Donald Trump destroy after multiple subpoenas over how many decades? WAKE THE F*** UP PEOPLE AND REJOIN REALITY. I'll state this bluntly though. I do NOT support Trump being impeached,for one simple and obvious reason that if any moron with two functional brain cells would be able to reason out. WHO REPLACES Trump if and when he 'steps down' or is impeached? Oh poor liberals, Hillary is going to jail. The only reason she hasn't so far is because she has evidence that almost everyone in Washington went along with her schemes and profited and she could take down the entire government. Hopefully a recess will provide the right moment to PUT THAT BITCH IN HADES and DRAIN the SWAMP that is Washington DC. I'm sick of this shit. We need to learn how to recycle and get rid of the criminals in charge.

Well no shit.

I have a new favorite.  It's this one! “Always be around unsuccessful people because everybody will respect you.”

I thought Trump was going to be the most transparent President we have ever seen?  Oh, he just said that to get elected…..

This is no surprise.  That little Nazi Stephen Miller said several months ago that the Presidents authority will not be questioned by anyone.

@Frederick: @magentas: You want Trump to be a dictator- to do whatever the hell he wants with no explanation. If it was Obama, you would scream about lack of transparancy. You defend Trump hiding his taxes when all presidential candidates make them public, and when Trump himself atacked Romney for not making his public, and swore that he would make his public. And conservatives demanded to see everything about Obama, including old school tests and reports. When Obama was president, conservatives attacked him relentlessly- does that mean they did not respect the USA? You are so full of it, it's coming out your ears. I do not want Trump to be a dictator, however I do want him to be a president without the libtards dictating his actions like a senile old woman back seat driver. Considering what Obama did for 8 years, he SHOULD have been attacked relentlessly, but was not. That's what America is.  We have a two party system here.  That's how it works.  You sound like you would be much happier in Russia or North Korea.  They don't have problems like this there. Obama was attacked every day for 8 years.  You know that.

Like most words, liberals have twisted "tolerance" to mean setting fire to a girl's hair because she wore a Trump hat. "Tolerance" mean setting a building on fire with people in it to prevent wrong speak. "Tolerance" means beating and stomping on an already unconscious and bloody man because he MIGHT be a "nazi", which is code for a person who isn't a liberal. I love the dictionary fallacy idiots.

Giuliani went on Fox News and admitted that it was a Muslim ban.  He told a story about how Trump called him and asked how they could ban muslims legally.

Donald J Trump is the laughing stock of the entire world.

@PUTIPUELCA: Do you usually call women you dislike "hookers"? No.  I just call hookers "hookers".  Trump picked her out of a lineup of hookers.  He told the story on Howard Stern.  I keep seeing Trumptards use the word "classy" to describe her…..... Her? [image: 1781653988270-302f7bd506bb.jpg]

And this is bad thing for Repubs how? I don't know of any conservative who's against having a Special Council investigate the claims.
