Express Yourself

One day after the inauguration of Donald Trump, prominent anti-Trump personalities attended and took the mic at the Women's March in Washington DC, which was extensively covered by main stream media outlets.

One personality after another took turns speaking but one speaker is in hot water with the FBI and the Secret Service.  So whatever, side of the fence you might be in, even if you are a fence sitter, what do you think of this one? Watch it yourself:

Warning language not suitable for all ages

I mean, true we all might have the right and the freedom to express ourselves, but we really need to be aware of the apparent and not so apparent consequences of our words.

Throwing F-bombs left and right, instigating a "revolution" and telling the world that she really, really thought a lot about "blowing up the White House" was pushing this freedom really, really far.

My rant for today is that of course she most probably will not blow up the White House even though she really wanted to, and granted that even though, her pop idol years are way behind her, she still has enough star power, pull and influence over certain people both here and worldwide. So we do not know if someone out there with an "unstable" condition, idolizing her and really has been thinking about it can be persuaded to push through with actually bombing the White House or carrying out violence against the president to pay homage to her. And the question is when that happens, will she not be held accountable for such irresponsible bantering, posturing or grand standing?
