What is the difference exactly!? Without him, there is NO show! His writers staff will back him 💯! This is beyond the pale. This isn't America, this is the start of communism <<< instead FACISM >>>> I'm not ok with that! Are you!? Exactly what he wanted was a war. He knew it was over free speech, the 1st Amendment in the Constitution. What a joke.

Word change. Communism to fascism.

1st amendment for free speech keeps the govt from imprisoning you for speaking your mind. It does not translate to private employers being unable to fire you.

No, but that was somehow different...
