Wow, the left really is dropping all pretense of being Americans or supporting liberty and freedom. They are showing their true colors: power, control, obedience, and unquestioning conformance.

Everything that comes out of this fraud’s mouth is a lie or distortion. And he’s is supposed to be an expert on Constitutional Law.

The intent, design and reason the founders wrote the First Amendment was specifically to enable the PEOPLE to speak their opinions and beliefs freely and openly against contrary to the government.

Obama is a soulless, lying POS.

First Amendment “does not apply to Facebook and Twitter.”

Obama thinks he’s so clever. He’s a citizen but not American. And is a criminal.

These sound like exact quotes from a book that I read some time ago titled “Stasi”. Those East Germans wrote the book on preventing “disinformation”.
