"Trump's police state?" Please! I wonder if you thought Obama was creating a police state when Loretta Lynch suggested prosecuting "hate speech" against Muslims? It seems that would be more like police state tactics than demanding respect for our flag and country by standing at attention during the playing of our National Anthem. But I'll bet you were silent on that.

Nobody hates free speech more than liberals, who riot whenever a conservative is invited or makes arrangements to speak on a college campus.

You live in CA under Jerry Brown. There is no free speech on CA college campuses. What are you going to do about that? CA is a "police state."

Against their own rules, it seems!

I don't see any arrests being made of anyone not standing in respect of the flag and our country during the Pledge and National Anthem. So, where's the "authoritarian government?" Seems a bit of an exaggeration on your part. I realize liberals use extreme hyperbole for effect. But what it really does is show your silliness.

There are several posts by the cult 45 that says liberals should be shipped off to NK, etc.

So I guess if a Burger King employee was to wear a "Meat is murder" shirt at work, your belief is that if Burger King fired him it would violate the First and be part of a police state.

The first thing you need to wrap your head around is the difference between the state and private employers.

Once you can finally grasp that important detail, you might not make such ignorant posts.

I want the people in the stands to throw tomatoes at them and Dixie Chick them. I want them to be drafted...and not by the NFL.

Kind of goes with who they are, though. Liberals. Liberals don't obey the Laws of the Land, so why would we expect them to abide by their own rule book?

Suppose you tell us? You live in California, where only approved speech is tolerated. Anything else and you riot, burning cars, destroying property, breaking in and looting, beating people, etc.

Do you see Laura C's post about how they should be drafted? The cult 45 wants an authoritarian police state. They hate the first amendment... When used by black people.

Has the government limited free speech here, or event threatened to?
