    Speech both left and right is being quashed if it falls outside certain narrow areas.

    It's very troubling.

    Ok, it’s been one, one and a half, two weeks - where is the resolution?
    Surely you can find it or this would be another... you guessed it... lie.

    Care to touch on the excessive golfing and lack of work?

    I think so too. Firstly, there was most likely a contract involved. In order to get kicked off a tour, one has to be in breech of the contract.

    Yeah - turns out he was trolling libs/Dems on Facebook pretty regularly.

    Behavior met consequences.

    As I wrote, I have no hope for ideologues uninterested in truth and only moved by propaganda created for them.

    They just yap at the dog whistles.

    Remember, your news sources claimed the President promised a tax cut in 10 days. A total and complete fabrication and lie. Just like the thousands they have kept their target audience drooling with.

    But to your point about a resolution and progress on the middle class tax cut:

    President Trump and a top House Republican on Wednesday issued an unusual joint statement committing to pursuing tax cuts for middle-class families in 2019, a much slower time frame than Trump said was in the works last week.

    The right wing president kicks out journalists for asking questions he doesn't like to hear.
    The right wing edits video's to suggest that journalists hit an intern. That fake news is being supported by the Trump administration.

    And now the right are crying their little eyes out over this?
    lol

    That isn’t a resolution. It’s a statement from a fellow con.
    Your own quote says it was a lie.

    He’s either a liar or just incompetent. I’ll go with both

    No doubt a civil war is coming ...this double standard silencing of conservatives, fraudulently stealing elections, and rabidly going after Trump will be the catalyst.

    And you can’t filter by race just for political correctness. Sorry. It’s all terrorism.

    Actually, he said all those things after saying he was going to get it done before the midterms at rallies. Adding qualifiers after doesn't change the lie. It's like the judge telling a jury to disregard a statement from the prosecutor as inadmissible. They're still going to remember .
    It's useless to try and defend Trump's lies. The one truth of his I agree with is that he tells the truth when he can. Since he's a pathological liar he rarely can tell the truth .

    He never said a tax deduction before November would take place. Not once. How could that happen when Congress isn't in session?

    Post a complete transcript of his comments where he promises the middle class will see their taxes reduced starting in November.

    Claiming he said that, is evidence of the great lies the liberal media spreads hourly.

    The only thing that is useless is trying to defend what the liberal media does, when the spotlight of truth is so bright and easy to see.

    I already did before you came into the thread to turn it about liberal violence.

    A lot of Conservatives here are even more uptight now than when they didn’t have control over the Fed. Oh well, I guess some people are never happy.

    So I guess you just want to keep making stuff up and personally attacking me.

    I'm honored I've become your fixation.

    Getting called out for forum violations isn’t a personal attack, even if you don’t personally feel you violated any rules. It’s been done to me, too, at times.

    I didn’t cry “victim” over it, or pretend I was insulted.

    Oh please. Is that the best you can do?

    Please continue, it's quite entertaining.

    In the mean time, the evidence someone who apparently doesn't follow the accepted ideology of the New Democratic Party continues, which as I have been commenting on, is par for the course.

    Toe the line, use authorized speech, or be destroyed personally and professionally.

    What has history recorded about regimes that demand that type of fealty?

    So when gang members mow down a few people in the hood a couple of times a week, it’s not terrorism, but if a white guy shoots people in a bar, it is terrorism? I can’t tell if that’s racist or just apathy;) It’s still all mass murder.

    A conservative trolling libs/Dems, no!?!. Never happens in here, unless you count thread after thread, and post after post.

    So you also think all the entertainers on the left that do that are also idiots and should be fired?

    I think the difference is audience reaction. People on the right tend to separate politics from art and we still go to movies starting nut job liberals and listen to music by the same. The Dixie Chicks are the only exception to the rule I can think of here. The left on the other hand wants to punish people for their political beliefs and will actively seek to ruin their careers by boycotting their performances. ZZ may have felt they needed to do this to protect tour profits so score one for the rabid left I guess. Get on the liberal bus or get run over by it.

    I'll take your word for what you would do but if IBM fired somebody for a FB post that favored Hillary it would be front page news and the left would be up in arms with boycotts and legal actions

    not smart to show either side, as you instantly lose the other

    just like all the anti-Trump folks the right attacks

    as far as being banned from facebook over that, if true, then that is wrong, we will have to wait and see as I doubt that would be the real reason

    if zz top doesn't support his political views they have every right to drop him though

    Show the post where I called for government intervention. All I'm doing is shining light on something the left would prefer to stay in the dark.
