Sure we do. We just don’t have freedom from the consequences of our speech.

Okay then. FCC. That argument is dead on arrival because President Reagan fixed that for ya.

The fairness doctrine of the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC), introduced in 1949, was a policy that required the holders of broadcast licenses both to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that was honest, equitable, and balanced. The FCC eliminated the policy in 1987 and removed the rule that implemented the policy from the Federal Register in August 2011.

If the FCC argument were to succeed (which it won't) then any caller who was hung up on can now sue the Rush Limbaugh estate.

So Kap suing the NFL to force them to give him a job was b.s all along? you libs supported it but now flip flop on Trump, that's a surprise.

Wasn't it trump who wanted Kap fired for kneeling (expressing free speech)?

That depends if you are BLM and the Democrats that support them or Maxine Waters. They can say whatever and be blunt and nothing.

Didn't you libs said Kap has a right to be in the NFL and protest in a private business?

I guess in a case like this they would have to prove unequal treatment of users which is just as much the issue as free speech.

Not this one. He can do what he wants on his own time, but not then he's on the clock.

Nobody plays the victim card better than Trump and his supporters.

Yes. And, Kap's actions ARE protected by the First Amendment.

Sadly,... Trump doesn't know what the constitution says or means.

That's not what the libs said. Just exposing their hypocrisy and b.s. Their TDS and Trump living rent free in their heads 24/7 gets worse.
