I'm not going to (cluck cluck) Well it sounds as though many have... sounds as though she's a protected class though. She even did a tweet essentially saying so...

whats ironic in this is that for the past year or two, I have been reading about the push to vote by internet and phone (today's technology and a massive fraud system to come into play)
now they charge a man who made a meme about this 4 years ago as if he was Nostradomas. for those who don't think this was satire, misinformation is blasted at us every day. the liberal Tech Giants will censor their platforms with their own misinformation at the drop of a hat for anything they deem necessary. |

Quoted: No, we’ve proven that when push comes to shove we are bitches. We as a group are so afraid of doing something illegal that we trip over ourselves to fall in line and comply. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: And we always thought the 2nd would be completely gutted before they went after the 1st. No, we’ve proven that when push comes to shove we are bitches. We as a group are so afraid of doing something illegal that we trip over ourselves to fall in line and comply. Normalcy bias. Having played by their rules as they were presented and acting within those. You wish it was a fair and equitable process as it was designed to be. Even when it becomes more evident it is not. When the encroachments and small infringements gradually add up to what potentially amount to very bad outcomes with your continuing down the same road. You might press it for a while, while the system escalates its messaging. Because you were blinded by the faith of want for the fairness of the system- the one that's been ingrained in you from what are now antiquated norms and mores. Essentially fooled and played to go with the theory that the system is equitable, having to operate under that assumption while the system works against you. And then, after much official hostility to your position, you cut your losses. So you will bend to it to hold what you have and to still latch onto that belief, in the hope, that it will still be true despite the evidence of your participation in 'their' system to the contrary. Even as it harms you more, in the long run, to do so. Because, at the least, you can salvage most of your comfortable existence by giving in to the incremental encroachments now with the vague hope things will improve, by some miracle, in the future, with the sacrifice made by others. Noone wants to be the one to make the hard sacrifices. |

Once they tally the Republican votes on day one, they know how many democratic votes they need fabricate on day two. |

Quoted: A) that's pretty funny B) didn't know that was "illegal" C) gonna follow this case - I've seen feds turn down slam dunk gun cases because a body cam wasn't turned on - this is quite the fucking stretch View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: For example, on Nov. 1, 2016, Mackey allegedly tweeted an image that featured an African American woman standing in front of an “African Americans for [the Candidate]” sign. The image included the following text: “Avoid the Line. Vote from Home. Text ‘[Candidate’s first name]’ to 59925[.] Vote for [the Candidate] and be a part of history.” The fine print at the bottom of the image stated: “Must be 18 or older to vote. One vote per person. Must be a legal citizen of the United States. Voting by text not available in Guam, Puerto Rico, Alaska or Hawaii. Paid for by [Candidate] for President 2016.” The tweet included the typed hashtags “#Go [Candidate]” and another slogan frequently used by the Candidate. On or about and before Election Day 2016, at least 4,900 unique telephone numbers texted “[Candidate’s first name]” or some derivative to the 59925 text number, which was used in multiple deceptive campaign images tweeted by the defendant and his co-conspirators. A) that's pretty funny B) didn't know that was "illegal" C) gonna follow this case - I've seen feds turn down slam dunk gun cases because a body cam wasn't turned on - this is quite the fucking stretch it isn't, that doesn't matter anymore, therefore no laws matter anymore.

Excerpt from: Creating Legal Policy for GIFs and Memes: Expanding the Scope of Free Speech, by Meghana Vodela, Science & Tech Brief, https://sciencetechbrief.com/2020/05/25/creating-legal-policy-for-gifs-and-memes-expanding-the-scope-of-free-speech/
By applying the textual language of the Amendment along with the case law, GIFs and memes should generally be protected as forms of expression under the First Amendment. GIFs and memes should be considered artwork because they are forms of expression that generally repurpose TV/media, political statements, and other viral concepts in pop culture to express certain emotions, feelings, jokes, or other ideas. Since TV/movies, media, and other forms of art are considered expressions of speech, and are protected under the First Amendment, this protection should be applied to GIFs and memes as well. The Supreme Court held in Bland v. Roberts that clicking on the “like” button was considered a “substantive statement,” and that a user “may use a single mouse click to produce that message that he likes the page instead of typing the same message with several individual keystrokes is of no constitutional significance.” This landmark decision was revolutionary in expanding the definition of protected speech and establishing that explicit language was not required in order to be protected under the First Amendment. GIFs and memes are comparable in this manner since they do not always incorporate written language. By applying this holding to GIFs and memes, one would imagine that posting or sending a GIF or meme would be considered making a substantive statement in the same manner that clicking a “like” button would. That a “single mouse click” or creation of a GIF/meme would “produce that message… instead of typing the same message with several individual keystrokes [is of] no constitutional significance.” View Quote |

Yeahhhhhhh nah. This isn't someone getting tossed in a gulag for posting memes, they have a case here. View Quote With all due respect. If you guys believe this is a legitimate arrest, you need to adjust your media consumption to one that isn't brainwashing you into an NPC beta. Holy cow, its pathetic. Get real, this is clearly an attack on free speech and a direct assault on liberty. An illegal arrest, a major stepping stone of tyranny. How could a ANY man, capable of understanding the absolute basic concepts of human, natural rights find anything remotely okay with a man being charged with a crime because he posted a meme. A meme on social media.. where do you suppose this will end of we continue to allow this rabid behavior? Stop allowing subversion to go unchecked. The implications of good men failing to stand up against direct and obvious, bold and destructive state overreach, such as this, is incredibly damning. I sincerely hope that everyone who believes his arrest is justified, re evaluates the situation unfolding before their very eyes. Choose liberty. Choose freedom. Choose life. |
