    Lol. That professor who teaches our children (frequent guest on Commie News Network and MSPMS) may know many scientists, but he don’t know Jack Squat about hate crimes or the law.
    For most states and the Feds, a hate crime must include two necessary elements. One, a commission of a crime, like beating someone, threatening someone, brandishing a weapon at someone while 2) during the crime the victim every racial or homophobe term in the book. Must be going on simultaneously, and/or the motivation for the attack.
    Hard for me to see how any criticism of St Anthony of Fauci could be a hate crime, unless he was called a bunch of Caucasian slurs like white piece of shat honkey or white grunt sandwich while criticizing the long time bureaucrat.
    But, we all know that is not the point. The point is muzzle all speech one does not agree with, aka, censorship. Screw free speech, protect our lords and masters first and foremost.
    They demand silence….but, but, but…silence is violence. Oh my, what’s a normal person to do.

    “After effecting passage of his $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package, if Biden gets the $1 trillion infrastructure proposal and the $3.5 trillion package, he will have enlarged federal spending by $6 trillion.” I hope it does not happen. Have no desire to have that discussion.

    Most of Bidens Covid relief package was Trumps idea-$2000 for everyone. The Repubs squashed it to $600 but the Dems restored it therefore fulfilling Trumps wishes by adding $1400 and making it $2000 like Trump wanted.
    Direct Trump quote:
    “Made many calls and had meetings at Trump International in Palm Beach, Florida. Why would politicians not want to give people $2000, rather than only $600? It wasn’t their fault, it was China. Give our people the money!” Trump tweeted.

Guess lying is so ingrained in your soul it grew from a habit and now it is part of who your are, your very essence is habital lying. Trump has nothing on you. What, did you tell Trump to hold your beer?
    Rememer once again that you said you will discuss spending only when Biden matches Trump’s 6 trillion. Maybe asking you to walk your talk is asking way too much. Strike the word “maybe”.
