So, Trump is terminating federal grants to the ABA because of its public criticism of his policies... what happened to Freedom of Speech?

He is just looking out for taxpayers. All those grants add up to big money that we do not have. instead of filing all these trivial lawsuits that will not go anywhere and will just waste more resources maybe these people should applaud President Trump for trying to balance the budget and paydown the debt.

Democrats are frightened to death that Trump will succeed and will do anything they can to try and prevent it even thought the country desperately needs strong, leadership and common sense fiscal management.

He's looking out for his ego. He can't handle criticism or descent. He's crushing his enemies and using tax payer money as his weapon.

He is crushing his enemies. His enemies are America's enemies and the majority is in favor of his policies

If he really cared about the debt or budget he'd be slashing defense budget & creating single payer uhc & raising biz & elites taxes.

@DrPepper12 We need strong defense. Our military has been decimated and China gets bolder by the day. single payer healthcare would be a disaster and you raise corporate taxes you drive more businesses off shore. Exactly the opposite of what President Trump wants to do.
The top 1% earners pay 45%of federal taxes already but Trump is actually thinking of a tax hike for the super rich.

He's a fascist. They're an independent power center. Nuff said.

That wasn't the reason, it was because of the fraud in their payola system of accrediting law schools. Free speech does not include whether an agency receives federal funding or not, or whether it even exists at all.

Dear Leader wants to turn us into North Korea. He's doing a good job.

I don't remember when you had to pay someone money in order for them to practice freedom of speech. That must be a left-wing perversion since Soros is always paying you guys to pretend to protest.

[BCA6010]

Freedom of speech does not mean entitlement to government grants. The ABA (which is pretty brazenly corrupt already) doesn't need to be federally funded at all, and that also creates a conflict of interests.

[NoDecision]

Seeing how many crooked lawyers there are... 🤔

[Asker]

Yeah... just punish people and groups that don't agree with you... main ingredient of a dictatorship!

[NoDecision]

Can you blame Trump seeing as every lawyer was trying to convict him of something or other? If you had a crooked lawyer screw you out of a lot of money you would agree with him. Still, I see your point.

[BarryLiverstone]

No worries. He will “ask” another gag question about Trump tomorrow

[Asker]

Thanks for acknowledging my point!

[BarryLiverstone]

So, I’m anon on gag and going to spam a link, like I do most days.. let’s see who answers and I’ll argue with them.

[Asker]

Somebody has to try to educate ignorant MAGATs who refuse to realize that basic rights are crumbling right before their eyes. Trying to crush people and organizations that don't agree with you using these tactics is what authoritarians do. If that doesn't work, the next step is to throw them in jail or deport then without due process. Trump is clearly making strides in trying to eliminate opposition. I won't be surprised if in the end, he will attempt to declare martial law and suspend elections because of "fraud" and "security" concerns. I'm sure you MAGATs will support that too!

[BarryLiverstone]

But you are breaking gag rules

[Asker]

Wow! You are a real whinny butthurt little b!+ch... pathetic!

[BarryLiverstone]

The insults are kinda old at this point

[Asker]

So are your asinine responses...

[BarryLiverstone]

I agree

[Asker]

Then stop making them...

[BarryLiverstone]

You are right

[seeyounexttuesday]

Wait, wtf. Lawyers are some of the best paid people in the country. Let them fund the ABA. Thank you Donald Trump.

[Anonymous]

Reported as spam.

[Asker]

Sorry that the truth offends you so much. I just shared a link to an article and asked a question.

[BarryLiverstone]

Also reported.. he does this everyday

[Asker]

@BarryLiverstone Suggestion: Next time you see a question you don't like... keep scrolling. I promise that I won't be offended.

[BarryLiverstone]

Or you can start to follow gag rules

[Asker]

@BarryLiverstone I'm still here and will stay here to keep giving you truth shots... I'm not going away! I actually love this country and will do everything in my power to keep the Orange One from destroying my country!!!
