Conservatives say stuff for effect, not because they believe in truth or consistency. They are dishonest, broken, people. They should not be trusted.
I saw people claiming Roseanne was fired from her show due to pressure from the Obama administration..........in 2018 when Trump was president
- These are not serious nor intelligent people.
When they bring up Murthy v. Missouri it's always good to remind them what the Supreme Court said.
To establish standing, the plaintiffs must demonstrate a substantial risk that, in the near future, they will suffer an injury that is traceable to a government defendant and redressable by the injunction they seek. Because no plaintiff has carried that burden, none has standing to seek a preliminary injunction.
MAGA lies about everything or are too stupid to know what the truth is. Cult shit.
You can always assume Taco supporters are lying.
But yeah, they have been full of shit for a very long time on how "censored" they are, LOL.
Also, I really wish people would squelch the misuse of the term "skeptics" when we are talking about conspiracy theorist denialists, full stop.
- I mean, whatever. Confederates start with the desired outcome they want and then work backwards from that to justify it. They're always consistent in their mind, because to them consistency is how they feel about the outcome. It doesn't matter to them that they have no internal consistency between each justification. They just want to impose their will or, if necessary, make you let them have their way.
  To say it bluntly, it's the mindset of a child.
Good old joke - how do you know a Republican is lying? Their lips are moving
- That's not true; some of them learned how to type.
  
  I bet their mouths move while they type.
  
  how do you know their lips don’t move
The wild justifications for defending his ousting is more telling than anything.
Like, literally quoting him saying he supports free speech. But hate speech should not be condoned. Still true.
The sensationalist headlines which have lied about him talking about Charlie Kirk in any capacity, rather than Charlie Kirk simply being tangentially related.
The comparison to people being fired for actual hate speech targeting people, usually after given multiple chances to stop inciting harassment and violence.
Reminding everyone that he lampooned blackface.
Reminding everyone that he was on The Man Show.
They used a lot of time and energy on some words and a video that were in no way controversial.
