What are "anti-American sentiments?"
Imagine your best friend invites you to have dinner with a family he knows well. You accept and the family welcomes you to their home. You decide to start criticizing their home decor, their children’s behavior, their clothing, their food, and call them not so nice names. I’m sure they are either going to kick you out of their house or at the very least cut the dinner short so you can go. All of what you did is protected by the first amendment but it is the right thing to do? When you play stupid games you get stupid prices.

Poor analogy.

For nearly 250 years, our country has stood for freedom of speech.

Not cool?

I think freedom of speech is pretty cool.
I like freedom of speech also. However there some things that still can’t say. And if it was up to the dems they would label anything that does not agree with them as hate speech so if you are a dem watch the hypocrisy.

The 1st Amendment protects against government interference with or retaliation for your speech. It provides no protection from dinner party hosts. If you dinner party host promises to grant you the freedom to say anything then punishes you for saying what you think then they have broken the promise.

Like I said the GOP is the party of violent criminals, judging by recent actions.
What GOP members were violent recently?
Ah, yes. A concern troll is just what we need.
What you need is a centrist who doeant support on the leftist ideology and who will protect our borders.

A key element of a habeas corpus petition is the requirement to state
the place of imprisonment and the name of the prison custodian. This is because the writ of habeas corpus is a judicial order directed at the individual or entity holding someone in custody, demanding they produce the person in court and justify the detention. The "you have the body" aspect implies knowing where the "body" is being held
But YOU nor the press needs to know where that is.

For Trump's people, free speech is limited to people who agree with them.
Thats just baloney. If that were true then there would have been a shut down of NO Kings.

Freedom of speech is in no danger. No we dont like people coming here then decided to criticize the US, but they have a right to. No one is trying to take away that right.

Its the Dems that claim they want free speech while at rhe same time supporting shutting down free speech they dont like.

No one in the government is trying to remove free speech. Thats just nonsense.

<Looks at the actions of the Trump administration with regards to the activist students and student visas>

Sure looks a whole lot like a violation of free speech from where I am sitting. When ICE agents snatch a student off the street and the only evidence they offer for wrong doing is signing her name to a essay? Yeah, that looks like a classic free speech issue.

When you play stupid games you get stupid prices.
All the stupid games that Trump is playing with tariffs surely you'd expect stupid prices for everyday items.

Even worse if they sneak in uninvited and display that behavior
