Why are you so personally threatened by people exercising their first amendment rights? What we are talking about is organized, peaceful protest. Not rock throwing. People in democracies are allowed to peacefully protest. People in authoritarian countries are not. Which one do you want to live in? |

Once again, a group who carried out J6 cannot acting like rioting is something they’ve never condoned or pardoned. No Kings protests have been going on for months in cities nationwide to little fanfare. They have been peaceful events. Don’t feed the MAGA machine with violence this weekend. Be safe and peaceful. Come out in force to show that we are not the ones who voted for a King and our voices matter too. |

So you feel more aligned with those who breached capital security, beat police officers, threatened to Assassinate lawmakers and defecated in the capital? Got it. Luckily, this will be much more civilized. Sorry if you think signs are boring. |

Don't know what you're talking about, but when it comes to autopens, a lot of presidents have used them. Thomas Jefferson (1801–1809): Used a polygraph device, an early precursor to the autopen, to replicate signatures and copy letters. Harry S. Truman (1945–1953): Rumored to be the first to use a modern autopen regularly, primarily for signing checks and mail. Dwight D. Eisenhower (1953–1961): Reported to have used autopens, though less publicly documented. John F. Kennedy (1961–1963): Relied heavily on autopens, to the extent that a book, The Robot That Helped to Make a President, was written about his use. Lyndon B. Johnson (1963–1969): Publicized the use of autopens by allowing photographs of the device, featured in a 1968 National Enquirer article. Richard Nixon (1969–1974): Known to have used autopens, though specifics are less documented. Gerald Ford (1974–1977): Openly acknowledged using autopens for correspondence, with White House staff frequently employing them. Jimmy Carter (1977–1981): Reported to have used autopens, though less prominently. Ronald Reagan (1981–1989): Used autopens for various documents, as noted in historical records. George H.W. Bush (1989–1993): Used autopens, though less frequently for official actions. Bill Clinton (1993–2001): Known to have used autopens for routine correspondence. George W. Bush (2001–2009): Inquired about the constitutionality of using autopens but did not use them for signing legislation. Barack Obama (2009–2017): First president to use an autopen to sign legislation, notably the Patriot Act extension in 2011 and the fiscal cliff bill in 2013. Donald Trump (2017–2021, 2025–present): Admitted to using autopens for "unimportant papers" like letters, but criticized their use for pardons. Joe Biden (2021–2025): Used autopens for legislation and pardons, including a 2024 FAA funding extension, though usage was less frequent than claimed by critics. |

Oh no, my friend. It’s MAGA who thinks only one is problem. Let’s be honest here, while graffiti is a problem, and there have been some burned cars, LA is not a riot like 1/6 was. Police have been firing rubber bullets at people for merely existing. Trump let people walk free who mercilessly beat officers. These are not the same thing, and 1/6 is much, MUCH, worse. Trump is inflaming tensions because he wants some young marine to kill someone for kicks. To further divide the country. Not recognizing this is dangerous. |

Wonder why the first amendment is so triggering to MAGA. |
