Vance urges speech crackdown over Kirk killing
AP, uh, there’s no such thing as a “Speech crackdown”. It’s blatantly unconstitutional and means nothing. Stop helping them.
- In this instance he's urging private citizens and companies to do the crackdown, so it's not technically a 1A violation.
  
  So you think they won’t try it at the FBI or some shit?
  There is no bottom, y’know. It’s this all the way down.
Hey look Senator Cory Booker has got another performative thing going on, is he giving them the booker look?
- Shame that key and peele is off the air. Keegan-Michael key would make a great Cory booker character.
- Patel was yelling at everyone today though. He also yelled at Adam Schiff.

a “generational destruction of the nation’s premier law enforcement agency.”

Maybe if we take them seriously and act like everything’s normal?
Wait, no - what if we act like everything’s normal and take them seriously?
No, shit, wait. Well, I'm out of ideas.
