I can agree with those you listed. But I would also like to add one other thing. I would like to see the 2nd amendment protection REMOVED from the MSM if they publish falsehoods. While I fully support our right to freedom of speech I believe the media abuses their freedom of the press by publishing anything they want without regard to the truth if it can hurt one particular person or group. IMO, especially when it comes to elections, the media ought to be absolutely unbiased.

Um, did you mean to say the msm's 1st ammendment rights to free speech should be removed? Or are you suggesting the msm be treated as "fair game" by our 2nd ammendment rights if they continue with the false narratives? While I understand your frustration, I think either suggestion is a little dangerous.

Yes, I did actually. Thanks for catching that... And yes, I agree those might be dangerous but the lies they keep telling have gotten way past old...
