You'd think they'd at least get the 2A out of the way before they go balls out after the 1A. Remember this shit next time you get butthurt because someone tells you the Democrats are authoritarian shitstains.
[Update]: Deathmonkey was kind enough to point out that this was in fact a Republican-passed bill from 2K that is being reaffirmed/reenacted by the Democrats, as well as adding the ability for the state to prosecute in Richmond no matter where the crime was committed if it's against state-owned property or a politician. Let's hear it for bipartisan fuckwadery! This would have been updated sooner but this is the first time I've looked at it since Thursday around lunchtime. Sorry, you're just not as interesting as The Roomie's kids who arrived a couple hours later.
(What, you thought I'd support it if Republicans had a hand in it? You must be new here.)

This little thread is pure fucking gold.
So you WANT to be a fascist but you have committed yourself to the concept of free speech so you prevent yourself from going full bore.
YOU get to hurl insults and be a trolling asshole because "muh freedumbs" but you are just itching to take out your ideological opponents who say mean things to you.
I just love this blatant hypocrisy and you showing your true colors. What a mighty buffoon.

I fully acknowledge that I'm a fallible human being and no matter how hard I try to be perfect, I'm going to fall short. You think you're not susceptible to such things?

AC's got your number, you know (and so do I). You hold yourself to this standard *purely* for the internal virtue-signalling it allows. It's a kind of self-satisfied masochism, denial porn if you will. You think it gives you some kind of superiority that you can say "Oooooh, look at me, I've got admin rights on $FORUM and I *don't unilaterally ban people for what they say* because I'm *such* a good, patriotic American who loves the Constitution!"
I will reiterate that comment another AC made elsewhere, the one which got an actual real-life LOL from me: the only way you could be more full of shit is if you stuck your head up a constipated bull's ass and started chewing your way forward.

I hold myself to the standards I hold myself to because that's what good people do. I understand you're not aware of this but if you look around for a bit I'm sure you'll find one you can ask to verify.

Horseshit, it's all for personal satisfaction and nothing more. You really, truly think I and anyone else with three sparkin' neurons firing at once can't tell? That's insulting.
