What? Trump hasn’t arrested anyone for their religious beliefs (i.e. Kentucky clerk with Obama Admin.) Trump hasn’t used the IRS to target Christian charities? (Again, Obama Admin) Trump isn’t part of the anti 2nd Amendment crowd. Trump isn’t part of the political PC campaign attacking free speech. What on earth are you looking at?

They mean the freedom to break the law and burn the flag.

Earth to John Kasich:

Tinpot despots don’t need any coaching from Trump to denigrate institutions in their countries. It’s sort of what they do.

My freedom to spend my money as I choose just increased.

My 2A rights keep expanding every year.

Possibly my freedom to have my vote count will increase, but the libs are fighting a rear guard action on that.

MAGA

"Sometimes when you're frustrated, it makes sense to sit on your hands or keep your mouth shut."

Oh please...you shit-stirrers have been doing your best to shut down conservatism with your protests, you destruction of property, your physical assaults on conservatives, your black-balling of conservatives on campuses.

GFY.

Meanwhile the Politburo’s in the Blue States spend their time turning Law Abiding Citizens into Overnight Felons while granting special Rights to Lawbreakers.

...and taking insufficient steps to counter Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

Trump lacked the power to anything about the Russians, or anyone else, meddling in the 2016 election. That was Barack Obama’s job.

They Did!

- withdrawing from America’s “historical commitment to promoting and supporting democracy,”
- making false statements
- refusing to disclose his taxes and other information
- violating basic ethical standards
- taking insufficient steps to counter Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

All of those are clearly written and ensconced in the US Constitution that guarantees the citizens a democratically appointed ^REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLIC^ form of government.

It is soooo clear.

BS.

Rights and political freedoms are being destroyed by a tech oligarchy run from behind the scenes by Democrats and socialists set on destroying ACTUAL constitutional rights and liberties.

All Trump has done is make the press account for its words like Josh here... they don’t like that - not one bit.
