They didn’t lose the First Amendment. They lost a badge. They can still speak. They can still publish. They can still cover him. They just don’t get to do it from inside the White House.

They didn’t lose the First Amendment. They lost a badge.

They can still speak. They can still publish. They can still cover him. They just don’t get to do it from inside the White House.

Nancy Pelosi doesn’t get to lecture anyone about the Constitution.
Her gun record:
• In Congress since 1987
• NRA grade: F. Scores 0–8% for decades
• Brady Campaign: 100%
• 1994: voted for the federal assault-weapons ban
• 1999: voted against cutting the gun-show wait from 3 days to 1
• 2003: voted against letting commercial pilots carry
• 2003 and 2005: voted against protecting gun makers and sellers from misuse lawsuits
• 2009: “We want them registered. We don’t want them crossing state lines.”
• 2019: whipped and passed H.R. 8 background checks on private sales
• 2019: passed H.R. 1112 stretch the background-check wait up to 10 days
• 2022: voted for the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act
• 2022: brought H.R. 1808 to the floor and voted yes new assault-weapons and magazine ban
• 2020: Everytown “Gun Sense Lawmaker of the Year”
She spent 40 years treating the Second Amendment like a privilege. Now she’s clutching the First Amendment over a press pass.
A White House badge is not the Bill of Rights. Neither is her record.

Reminds we of the time the Nags were upset at Augusta National and threatened a boycott.

August National told cbs they would pay for a commercial Masters.

the Nags shut up.

I think you meant to write “commercial-free Masters” . I use voice activation and the most frequent change from what I say is something that flips the positive negative quality of the statement. There are so many ways to do it. One is to change the word “not“ into the word “now”. These two words do not sound anything alike so I have been quite suspicious of what is happening for a long time. Sometimes something in the first paragraph changes before I click send, but after I have proofread it, sometimes even a couple of times.
