        When conservatives talk about free speech what they really mean is freedom for them to do and say whatever they want without consequence.

        What he wants is the right to be a racist sexist misogynistic prick and then everyone not call him out on it. He wants it so badly he spent $44 billion dollars in order to to be able to do that.

      Thank god there are still people stupid enough to act before they think. Stupid people are necessary to fight power. I’m proud to be one of them, though I know it will continue to get me in trouble.
