No way he doesn’t violate it

Let’s hope they have the balls to actually enforce it.

[-] Jaysyn@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

They do not.

[-] ripcord@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

They won't.

OMG finally. That took way longer than it should have.

I for one can't wait for him to break it.

because he's gonna break it in fantastic fashion rendering every darwin award moot in the wake of how fucking stupid it's gonna be.

It'll only be stupid if it costs him. He will likely decide to play chicken and turn any disciplinary actions into "proof that Biden and the deep state are silencing my free speech in order to steal the 2024 election!" in the court of public opinion, which I'm afraid will be successful with our electorate of simpletons.

They should literally gag him too, probably the only way to stop him from talking.
