'baseless argument'?!!!

[ClearCase_guy]

the baseless argument that Democratic organizations and protesters are part of a violent conspiracy against conservative values and the American way of life.

The evidence is about as thick as an old phone book.

BASELESS MY ASS!

[Red6]

Now the left, which censored during Covid, post 2020 elections, after J6, regards Ukraine and LGBTQIA is worried about “free speech?”

Is this a joke?

[Kriggerel]

“...Is this a joke...?”

No, it’s not a joke. Not even CLOSE to being a joke.
The left are striking back, and striking back HARD.
Judging by the shift that has happened in the tone of nearly every online community I am part of over the past couple of days, the left has very much gone gloves-off. The narrative is being *FIRMLY* forced into the idea that Charlie was a Fascist that openly called for violence, and “Live by the Sword, Die by the Sword.”

Dang it!

That’s what I was going to say!

So I will anyway:

BASELESS, MY ASS!

[ifinnegan]

The baseless argument again.

If they call something a baseless argument, it’s true.

There are all sorts of baseless arguments, but these newspapers don’t pass judgement on them but report them as claimed.

[Abbeville Conservative]

This will not end well for them.

Is this a joke?......the loony left, which censored the rest of us during Covid, post-2020
elections, after J6, wrt Ukraine and LGBTQIA, is NOW worried about “free speech?”

Hit a snag, did they?

[Jack023]

I hope President Trump sues the sh!t out of the Gray (Old) Lady.

[maddog55]

I’m guessing they’ll change their time after a payout of the $15b lawsuit.

... efforts to stifle political opposition in the United States...

Will it be less bloody than the way Liberals do it - sniping from an ambush position?

[Elsie]

Well, that’s the slow way.

[TTFlyer]

It took four retards to write this drivel.

[DoodleBob]

How dare you.

I worked with people who are mentally slow and, while not quite the same, on the spectrum. They are generally positive people who do their best to get things right. Many of them work at my grocery store. They are often chatty and usually leave me with a positive outlook.

The four people who wrote this article can’t hold a candle to anyone who’s “retarded.”

[vivenne]

Wow. These people are delusional.

[vivenne]

Further proving that the Left is incapable of telling the truth. We must never forget this.

[FiddlePig]

Trump “censors” the same way one censors cockroaches by turning on the lights. He exposes their insanity and they go scrambling. Truth to DemoKKKrats is being “silenced” as their lies then carry no weight. So they just lie harder.

[Elsie]

Your observation is spot on!
