No it's not. There's freedom of speech and there's facing the consequences if that free speech breaks the law, company policy, social decency etc. It's why there's slander and libel laws, discrimination and hate laws and more.We've been plagued by cancel culture for years - it's not some new Republican invention. Let's not pretend for one minute that if it was a left-wing/minorities etc activist there wouldn't have idiots posting similar messages and being penalised for it.

Not sure I agree, Tisza. I have absolutely no doubt that Trump will scrap hate laws for instance. Same for discrimination.

Endorsing a candidate other than President Trump? That’ll be $15 billion please!
US president Donald Trump says he will sue New York Times for $15bn
He has accused the paper of defamation and libel, saying it served as a "mouthpiece" for Democrats.

Does he not understand how free press works...? US newspapers have been endorsing Presidential candidates for decades. By his own logic the Post should be sued as well.
The Post endorses Donald Trump for president — the clear choice for a better future
The choice of this election will have reverberations for decades, deciding which of two very different paths for the future Americans will take.

Not a low-key fascist police state, though. Mad stuff.

Watched it last night.
Apparently there`s now over 30,000 lies / misrepresentations he`s told on air, since he started his second term and these were the most newsworthy.
Some of it was very funny, as he`s just making stuff up to cover the fact that he`s an ignorant buffoon and trying to save face, but lots of it was very sinister too.

30,000?
My first thought was "okay, so that's this week sorted, But what about the rest of his tenure?"

It's something like 5% of Russian oil. You've also got China and India buying it.

No but it's contributing to the market, which is still making the stuff cheaper than for a long time isn't it?
I mean we are seeing inflation being effected by it, like keeping it down ?
