It probably isn’t in this case. The current standard for the line on protected speech comes from Brandenburg v. Ohio, in which a Klansman called for the murder of n*****s, Jews, and their allies on TV. SCOTUS decided that it’s fine to call for lawbreaking as long as you’re not conspiring to imminently commit a crime…
OneHandedSquire thinks the post office is good

This event horizon of stupid pulling us in is definitely exhausting. It’s also aggravating that the bottomless bullshit strategy has at least a 30% chance of working, because that’s how America is right now.
Did somebody light the USPS signal? Because there’s post office news!
Gotta love that two-party system, where the fascist whackaloons are automatically embraced as part of a governing coalition and granted legitimacy should they win. At least Loomer’s chances of that are nil, unlike that Q-Anoner in Georgia.
Yeah, I was going to say, if Trump were keeping her at arm’s length for any reason it would be because she’s a near-certain loser, not because she’s a tinfoil-hat fascist. Though really, the embrace by Trump and McCarthy has already signaled that the door is open to the Loomers of the world.
Now playing
Well, there’s this:
So Trump decided to break news by denying he had a series of mini-strokes last November when no one in the media was claiming that.
Yup, I’m surprised Esther didn’t mention one other tidbit that’s making the rounds that both reveals Melania’s weird hatred of Michelle Obama and her total lack of civic-mindedness:
And by “Marxist” he meant “words have no meaning and nobody will call me out on this.”
*Gasp!* You mean they didn’t use God’s own Ayn Rand approved, red-blooded, heterosexual, bald eagle, private shipping companies?! What would Saint Ray-Gun say?
Man, it’s getting to the point where just seeing RBG’s name and face on an article is enough to make my anxiety levels spike like crazy. Despite having a lot of contempt for the originalist theory of jurisprudence, something tells me this was not the founders’ intent for the Supreme Court!
Hmm. Pretty interesting theory. I did definitely think it seemed odd that Rosenstein was the one to bury it. He did previously strike me as a career guy who wanted to see the investigation happen.
Yeah, that’s the one consolation: that Trump seems to really not want to do it. Whether it will put him in more legal jeopardy or if it will just be a really bad look to anybody who isn’t a conspiracy humping loonie, either way, Trump seems to think there’s risk and that’s fine by me.
Good to see USPS is still on the radar. Never take your eye off it!
It’s a shame that information like that - or the number of sexual assault claims made by children in ICE detention - will never break through to the Q-Anon crowd, who still think Trump is some kind of secret crusader against child trafficking.
Let’s see: he worked for private equity ghouls who owned the company that builds “temporary influx care facilities” (i.e. concentration camps), worked as Trump’s chief of staff when the family separation policy was implemented, and then immediately after leaving got a job with said Koncentration Kamp Kompany. So add…
I’m just gonna leave this little bit of accidental honesty right here.
They are the most precious of snowflakes; mourning the fact that the whole entire society is no longer their safe space. Somebody call up the astral plane, because these punks have been projecting at full power for over forty years and it’s starting to look hazardous to their health.
Yuuuuup. If a vaccine gets released by known liars through a corner-cutting process, I am definitely not lining up to get it on day one. We’ll see how the early adopters are doing after two weeks of supposed immunity.
