... and this is classically the quandary in which free speech finds itself.
I am happy that his exercising his right to free speech (à la Trump) will, if and when he comes up for re-election, be viewed as the electorate sees fit, that electorate having the right to judge him with their votes; clearly, you see, I am happy that the right to free speech and the right to exercise freely one's vote are inextricably linked in an open and democratic society.
Btw (and I bet you know this) that link you posted doesn't show Brandon Johnson wanting to "shut down journalists", which is neither exaggeration nor litotes on your part; essentially you just made that up.

What did the mayor say to the media exactly, did he tell at them to stop asking questions thrm tell them they were nit allowed unless he asked them first, did he call them the enemy of the people and encourage his supporters to Hassel and attack them?
Only you orange hero does that and you're fine with that.

I think what you mean is that it's ironic but irrelevant. One out of thousands of funders of a crowdfunded film is almost certain to turn out dodgy. It doesn't sound like he was the Weinstein of the operation. Just someone who put a bit of cash in.

Possibly the most mental of mental things. The JR15 an assault rifle for toddlers. I mean, why? What 3 or 4 year old needs a semi automatic assault rifle? Republicans are fcuked, they really are. States have tried to stop advertising guns aimed at children, but are being stopped by the GOP. www.snopes.com/fact-check/jr-15-real-rifle-designed-children/It's so insane Snopes had to do an article confirming the truth of this as so many thought it was a piss take.

The latest fashion: Silent WalkingIt's a good name for a brilliant new idea that nobody has ever thought of before. It's going for a walk without headphones or looking at your phone. But you have to titrate yourself in. Start with just two minutes because it's so hard to do.

In all honesty I struggle with “Silent Walking”. When my headphones were broken I had no idea what to do with myself. I need to block out people on the street and deter anybody, especially men, from speaking to me.
