You make it sound like this was unconstitutional, but it's not. But it will piss some of the Trump supporters off, but they'll still buy from Amazon. So this comes across as you mouth breathers just exhaling.


Never mind if it's right or wrong, or even logically defensible.

Leftists never cared about free speech. It was simply a means to attack capitalism and the West.

They never cared about free speech. They cared about their speech being recognized as the only acceptable speech.

Where does "bad hombre" fit in that matrix.

How about calling him a Nazi or racist. Is that OK. Those would be more prone to drawing me into a hands on situation.

What about depictions of his decapitated head?

"Bad hombre". LO freaking L. You are some kind of pussy. You don't like that. TFB.

I guess calling those associated with the drug cartels "bad men" is hate speech. IIRC, that's what the bad homre comment was referring to at the time. Nevermind the names Trump has been called ad nauseum on these same platforms for years

I am in the process of buying another boat.

“Bad Hombre” is at the top of my list of boat names.

This is how we know they think Trump can't be beat.

They are cutting off their nose to spite their face literally before our eyes.

What if he said "un hombre malo", instead?

I do not give a damn what the cartels think. Why does anyone take lessons in manners from cartels. They have not a spark of divinity. I don't care what Queen Pelosi thinks either.

Someone calls me a bad hombre, I feel complimented.

Is Amazon headquartered in another country or are they stationed in the lone country in the world that has protected free speech across the board because it is a God-given right?

This isn't China, Iran, or even the UK.

So-called "Hate Speech" doesn't exist in America and all speech is protected.

Correct, here is the problem. I believe that a liberal saying to me that I have White Privilege is hate speech. So, can I have that person arrested for saying that?

Its a slope you don't want to put a foot on. Basically turns into any speech you disagree with is hate speech. So, all speech is protected.
