That wasn’t the question I asked.
What DO YOU think is going to happen?
I‘d also suggest that you have it backwards. Texas and Florida passed laws trying to compel private businesses to allow speech they don’t want to allow. That’s exactly the thing you seem to be arguing against, is it not?

Which brings us to the latest instance. A major bridge collapsed in Maryland this week after it was struck by a cargo ship in the middle of the night. People died. When I watched the dramatic and upsetting footage of the incident, I wondered if I'd crossed that bridge. Like the president, I have often traveled north on Amtrak trains, passing through Baltimore on my way to New York. I performed a cursory Google search and learned that the now-destroyed Francis Scott Key Bridge did not support any railroad tracks, so this wasn't the route I could have taken on those journeys. Biden evidently had the same initial thought, and rather than determining whether or not it was true, he blurted out that he'd taken his beloved Amtrak over that very bridge -- which, of course, is impossible. He just said it anyway because that's what he does:
On the spectrum of his tall tales and mendacity, this one is relatively harmless. But it's sloppy. It's avoidable. It's undisciplined. And it might upset grieving family members: Why is this man making our tragedy about himself -- and doing so inaccurately, too? One wonders if Biden may have been briefed by a staffer, in order to try to avoid precisely this sort of pointless mess. 'Remember, sir, this bridge had no choo-choo tracks on it, so you did not travel across this bridge that way.' Joe is going to say whatever Joe wants, including one of his favorite Amtrak-related 'memories,' which has been repeatedly debunked. That minor inconvenience has not dissuaded him from continuing to spread it, over and over again. He loves the fabrication too much to let it go. Relatedly, in case you missed it, the Washington Free Beacon recently fact-checked another favored Biden claim, which he's told for many years. It's his political origin story, in which he explains why he decided to leave his legal job and enter public service. It's almost certainly an invention:

When this supposedly seminal case was resolved, Biden wasn't even a lawyer yet -- and the plaintiff won the lawsuit. The outcome was the opposite of Biden's, um, 'recollection,' which blows up the whole 'wracked with guilt' storyline. Casual observers may be forgiven for wondering if Joe Biden has ever told a single true story in his life. And no, even though this anecdote is obviously made up, there's no way Hur would charge Biden for lying under oath as a result of rambling about a false memory. A major component of the Special Counsel's rationale against prosecuting the president over multiple clear and willful violations of laws governing the handling of classified documents is that Biden is too mentally compromised, with too faulty a memory, to be convicted by a jury. Chalk this one up to an old man spinning a yarn about his bygone days, with absolutely no regard for accuracy (even if he's been doing this for many years). In the example relayed above, the real timeline placed Biden still in law school when the litigation wrapped up. Perhaps it was around the same time Biden claims to have received a standing ovation from his whole class for a brilliant, extemporaneous speech about a case he hadn't read. True story, not a joke, folks -- my word as a Biden:
Yeah, that didn't happen. What did happen was Biden finishing near the very bottom of his law school class -- a fact about which he has also, you guessed it,
you’re wasting your time i already tried this.
you’re up against impenetrable stupidity in the form of GrossFlab
We've seen it time and time again. One side employs a certain tactic and says it's fair when called out. Then that other side uses the same tactic against them and they cry foul.
For example: Shutting down traffic was a thing for several years and was defended by your ilk. Then in 2020, Trump tards did the same thing on the freeway and you cried foul
Another example are private events being shut down because the other side didn't like the speaker, which you defended. Then we start seeing MAGA heads doing the same to Drag Queen story hour, and the left cried foul.
Like I said . . . Don't defend any tactic that you don't want used against you, because eventually it will.
All of the above is protected speech. Thanks for playing!
Don Jr = drag queen story hour
grapedrink conjuring embarrassing false equivalencies. Trying to catch up with GWS i guess

who defended shutting down traffic?We've seen it time and time again. One side employs a certain tactic and says it's fair when called out. Then that other side uses the same tactic against them and they cry foul.

Most of your ilk. Those that didn't outright defend it certainly minimized it.
I'm sincerely embarrassed for grapedrink
His shamelessness is boundless so you’ll be habituated to it in no time.
So another strawman? Thanks for playing indeed.We've seen it time and time again. One side employs a certain tactic and says it's fair when called out. Then that other side uses the same tactic against them and they cry foul.

1) neither of the examples have anything to do with what we are talking about.
2) Nobody, and I mean nobody, claimed that it's okay to block the street.
The whole thing was about your ilk claiming it's okay to kill people because they're standing in the street.
You used the street blocking to sh!t on BLM cause but that's another thread.
3) Nobody GAF what some library in some shithole decides to do, nobody "cried foul" about that.
I cried foul about the transphobia and ridiculous grooming kids to be gay claims.
The fact that you reached for strawman right out of the gate, makes you look pretty dumb. The usual.
Not in your place of work or any private place. Town Square retard.All of the above is protected speech. Thanks for playing!

Even better, he said that Drag Queen reading stories = Richard Spencer spreading Nazi hate.
I‘m surprised nobody has started a band called Donosaur Jr.
I‘d imagine its a Skrewdriver cover band
