Most Important First Amendment Case You’ve Never Heard Of: Biden Regime Tries to Toss a Young Man in Jail for 10 Years for Anti-Hillary Memes
Revolver News ^ | 2/6/23 | staff

Douglass Mackey is alleged to be one of the many anonymous Twitter users who made the 2016 election so different, so memorable, and so important.

Like other anonymous internet memesmiths (anons), Mackey had no external reason that anyone should care what he said. He held no office. He had no byline at an elite publication. He had no vast pool of wealth that conferred legitimacy, deserved or undeserved, on what he had to say.

Mackey’s notability, like that of Bronze Age Pervert or Libs of TikTok, came exclusively from what he had to say, and that people found it funny and compelling. Over the summer and fall of 2016, Mackey allegedly went by the nom-de-tweet Ricky Vaughn (after Charlie Sheen’s character in Major League) and collected tens of thousands of followers who found him funny and compelling. Mackey was not single-handedly responsible for getting Donald Trump elected. But the work he allegedly did along with dozens of others is what made Trump’s victory possible. An MIT analysis estimated that Ricky Vaughn was a bigger influence on the 2016 election than NBC News.

Punished because of memes. This is what the left wants to happen to all conservatives on social media.

If they can establish it’s illegal for a white male to attempt to influence an election, they’ll be able to arrest Trump at his next campaign rally.

Joe will dodge similar prosecution by identifying as furniture.

”In your face” is our communist masters' favorite tool to rattle the chains of tyranny that they have wrapped around our necks...

No Big Deal!
Our communist masters know that the pathetically servile and indolent Aamerican people will just continue to roll over and spread their collective cheeks...

The Aamerican people now understand that the First Amendment calls for them to:
Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...

Joe will identify as a corpse. He can pull that off better than furniture. Furniture has to be useful and suportive.

This is what the First Amendment actually protects.

Any pretense that there is freedom in this nation is gone if he goes to jail.

The Judge in this case belongs in PRISON for LIFE for not dismissing the case immediately and finding the DOJ scumbag lawyers in Contempt, He should have JAILED the DOJ lawyers and Sanctioned them the Maximum monetary fine allowed, then referred them for permanent disbarment.

Nothing but Kevin McCarthy prevents Jim Jordan from JAILING the Judge in this case as well as the lawyers that brought it and every last person in the chain of command that signed off on this persecution. Bring them all before the Weaponization Committee

This is why the far-left Dung beetles want to shut Americans up and shut America down. The Nazi bass turds.

It’s obvious why they didn’t want us to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. The far-left wants America to be a third world sh*thole.

I agree. There should be punishments for those that violate the Constitutional rights of citizens. It should include both fines and prison time. Just like the judges and politicians who violate people’s 2nd amendment rights, repeatedly. Even though their laws can be overturned, it takes years and then they simply pass new laws with just a slight change and the process starts over again. All at taxpayers’ expense. For the poor individual, it is costly and a time consuming process simply to demand their rights be respected.

Much as they do with over-charging defendants in order to force them to agree to a plea deal. People can only afford one lawyer, if that, while they go against a team of government lawyers that are being paid by our tax dollars.

His legal defense fund is at https://www.memedefensefund.com/ It has a video of him saying the site is legit.

He was a great, happy warrior for Trump and our side, and really successful, just posting memes anonymously, until they doxxed him and ruined everything for him.

He just got too successful, and they have really sunk him under legal bills, if there are any loaded people on our side who might help him out.

Last I heard, free-speech does not have to be accurate. As far as I know they can be out right dishonest in the public square. It can certainly be a joke.

This is the same thing they wanted to do to the Libs of Tik-Tok poster.

He's a Rapin Bill stooge:

He also imposed a nation-wide injunction against snuffing out DACA.

He's a not just a Lefty stooge - he's a seditious Lefty stooge.
