It’s no gray area. If anyone is stupid enough to fall for this they’re too dumb to vote anyways.
I like your concept here. This is a huge miscarriage - and screams of prosecutorial misconduct. This is one of the purest forms of First amendment expression being prosecuted.
I remember well the Bill Clinton impeachment hearings. So feminists showed their true colors but saying nothing or even defending Bill Clinton.
Proof — the leftist agenda has little to do with the groups that the claim to defend and all about pushing a political agenda.
Question: Where are the feminists defending women from the ridiculous attack on womens sports by men. Nah, they are idiots and have nothing to say that I will listen to. The opportunity for dialog between different beliefs is gone.
Heck, they are no better than Germany during 1939 and the Jews. Yet another subject that the left pretend to care about.
An update:
“It’s happening: Douglass Mackey officially takes on Biden regime over “Hillary Clinton meme” conviction…”
“On Friday, January 5th, my legal team and I officially filed my appeal to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.”
