    Spreading deliberate lies with the intent of harming people is illegal across the civilized world. It’s only in America that we decided that terrorizing people is free speech. Leave your frozen peaches stateside, buttercup, because the rest of the world has no problem holding you accountable for what you say.

      It’s wild the freedoms Americans have “the rest of the world” bitches and moans about. I think Obama was the best president in my lifetime and when I see sister fuckers say shit about him and Michelle, you know what I do? Laugh at how stupid they are and move on. The same thing the Obamas themselves do. Persecuting words that have no tangible impact on someone other than hurt feelings is weak, thin skinned, and swings the doors open wide for abuse. I can imagine 100 different ways a 2nd term trump could weaponize what you’re calling for and I prefer to be free to call him every name under the sun without fear of persecution. Im grateful to live somewhere where we have freedom of speech.
