Christopher Hitchens - Free Speech
YouTube video by hitch archive
www.youtube.com
Since the First Amendment is again a hot topic, I'll gift everyone this Christopher Hitchens banger that remains, imo, the single greatest defense of free speech in modern history. He must be, unfortunately, rolling in his grave.

"defense attorneys are telling us they can’t get their clients to take good or reasonable plea offers because they felt they’re better off spending their money on a political donation, drawing Trump’s attention, and getting the case dismissed or going to trial and getting a pardon."

The regime that spent over $200 MILLION of YOUR taxpayer dollars on private jets for Kristi Noem doesn't think you should get reimbursed for a canceled flight or lost luggage.

A Trump-appointed judge openly advocated murdering people on suspected drug boats without evidence or trials. This brutal "sink the boats" policy has already killed over 75 human beings. This is not justice; it's state-sanctioned murder and a descent into outright fascism.

KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true?
HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart--
KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.

Of course not, because a "senior associate" at a BigLaw firm could *never* do something so stupid and unethical. I'm sure he was just tricked into it!
A federal judge in Oregon said he won’t impose formal sanctions on lawyers at U.S. law firm Buchalter who submitted a court filing that had fake case citations generated by artificial intelligence, finding their response to the incident sufficient.

You’re falling for Schmuck’s bullshit @hayesbrown.bsky.social—it isn’t a coincidence that “none of the [eight] moderates who voted in favor of the package are facing election next year,” it’s an (insulting) calculation premised on the caucus’ hatred of its base and belief that voters won’t remember.
OPINION by @hayesbrown.bsky.social:
“That is, it’s ending with them getting nothing more than a promise of further disappointment down the line.”

Kind of wild that while food assistance was withheld from millions of families, one Trump-supporting billionaire (Ellison) saw his net worth grow more this year than the entire SNAP budget. And the YTD gains of the other four richest men would’ve fully covered salaries for all 2M federal employees.
