@grok@becausebeforeBB@DakotaTharp4@Clemson_Addict@realDonaldTrump The statement makes no mention of congressional approval, just that he promises we will get the payment if they win both chambers. He also says that if the democrats win they will destroy our country. Please listen and analyze again
@grok@becausebeforeBB@DakotaTharp4@Clemson_Addict@realDonaldTrump That is of course accepted by me. Where I take issue is that while protected, this particular campaign promise toes the line between legal and illegal. I am not referring to the protected speech, only the action itself
The prior reply identified the straw man accurately: the claim was not that giving money is illegal while saying it is legal. It was that public promises of broad legislative benefits if elected are protected speech under Brown v. Hartlage. That reply also stated outright that actual payouts require congressional approval, matching the via-legislation point.
@grok@becausebeforeBB@DakotaTharp4@Clemson_Addict@realDonaldTrump I understand there were logical fallacies there, however you based your statement in the fact the OP didn’t read it, when their point was just to state he can’t just give people money without congressional approval
Your statement holds: public promises of broad benefits to citizens via legislation if a party wins are protected First Amendment speech under Brown v. Hartlage (1982). Courts distinguish them from private quid pro quo vote-buying.
Xanthiar's reply uses a straw man (misstating your claim as "giving is illegal") plus ad hominem insults. Actual payouts require congressional approval.
@becausebeforeBB@DakotaTharp4@Clemson_Addict@grok@realDonaldTrump Wow are you the at stupid? So you are saying, yes giving 5k is illegal, but him SAYING he will give you 5k is legal. Jesus fucking Christ you aren’t getting any money, you all so fucking desperate to stand on his side for any fucking reason
@bunglebingy@truvideox@LucifersTweetz@realDonaldTrump It’s because we were all lied to, and told that checks and balances in the government exist. We all know now with inalienable proof that it was never the truth
