We have a traitor on the U.S. Supreme Court, folks. That is all we can say after seeing his year-end report in which he agrees that the U.S.A. Needs to eliminate the First Amendment.
Of course, this creep didn’t state it straight out., He couched it in terms of combating “misinformation.” But there is no way around it that he supports our government taking away our freedoms to satisfy his desire to eliminate speech he doesn’t like.
