It's been said many times but bears repeating: All of the useful idiots pimping that "cancel culture" BS always ignore actual suppression of speech by state governments.

“I was a theater and band kid. My sophomore year my school did Hairspray as our school play. It has a role that is traditionally played as a man in drag. My school followed that tradition. That is now illegal. It was explicitly asked if Rocky Horror Picture show and Hairspray would be banned under the new youth drag ban law. The legislature said yes.”

Note to self

Any journalistic investigation of Judge #AileenCannon would have to include the fact she's married to #JoshLorence, who, I've been told, worked for #Florida-based ex- #NewYork (alleged) #mobster #JohnRosatti, who just happens to be a lifelong friend of and current contributor to #DonaldTrump. They ran #TrumpLimousines together, along with #JohnStaluppi and #JackSchwartz

#DillingerGaines

Investigative journalists, do you hear me?

P.S. I've said all I'm going to say on the matter
