The First Amendment means we get to make jokes—Douglass Mackey should not be serving time for a meme

Human Events:

A man is going to federal prison for a meme. He’s going to prison for satire, for a joke. It began back during the meme wars of 2016 when memesters across the web were sending out jokes, essentially political cartoons, making fun of presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, boosting Donald Trump, and generally wreaking glorious havoc on political discourse across the web.

Douglass Mackey shared a meme that essentially made the joke that Hillary Clinton supporters were too lacking in intelligence to realize they couldn’t submit their vote by text. “Avoid the line,” the joke said, “vote from home.” It was funny. It was not a big deal. It didn’t sway anyone to think they could vote via text. Biden’s Department of Justice couldn’t even find anyone who believed it was true, or who actually tried to vote by text. A Clinton supporter did the same thing, instructing Trump voters to vote on the wrong day.  more

  1. Politicians, DOJ, FBI, ATF, DHS….on and on…
    They’ve ALL taken a sworn oath to uphold the laws of the United States and the Constitution of the United States.

    Apparently, very few of them heard the words or actually give-a-shit during the ceremony and have readily given-in to whatever bribery and/or blackmail that was presented to them.

    Sadly, they have NO idea the true value of their soul.

  2. Amendments #1,2,4 and 5 were abrogated 10/26/01 by the Patriot Act.

    Which is why a neighbor was thrown in jail by GWB’s Petraeus for posting a vid on Tube showing GWB’s R.O.P. brutally butchering “infidels” Which all Bush Republicans know is what caused BENGHAZI GATE 9/11/12! This man – among many others – was proof positive The patriot act repealed amendments #1, 2,4 and 5!

    BTW – like the J6 “criminals ,as Bush Republicans call them. Naming just 2 Bush Republicans so doing: Adam, Liz.”- this man still rotsin jail for thinking that post GWB – speech was still free in America.

    Petraeus men broke down his door, stole his weapons, threw hi in jail. no warrant, no habeas corpus, no right to speak freely! PATRIOT ACT David P said, repealed “Bill of Right”!

    When Bush put the most liberal judge as Chief Justice 17years ago the knew precisley what he was doing!

    very late disclaimer – I am conservative NEVER VOTED FOR THE LEFTIST GWB!

  3. The (laughably) rejected housewife and hunchbacked Clinton woman got mad because she was exposed as just that—a dowdy unpolished and kicked-to-the-curb-by-husband hunchbacked housewife. Meanwhile, she can also claim first dibs on the BiLewensky woman’s knock-off ‘designer bags’ she’s been peddling. lol
