I just saw that all Trump employees are bound by some clause in their employment contracts to NEVER say anything bad about Trump -- even after termination -- or they can be sued for everything they've got. Reveals a lot.

Post-restraint of free speech seems to be the rage on both sides of the political spectrum now. IMO, being left with the choice to either completely filter what we say, or not to say anything, isn't just unDemocratic. It's unAmerican.
