Issued a directive barring the censorship of American citizens’ constitutionally protected speech by the federal government. [Note: Specifically bars the Federal Government from trying to combat misinformation]
[...]
The Federal Government didn't do a great job anyways when we look at the Hunter Biden Laptop story, which they FALSLY treated as misinformation. Great to have free speech back!

Making shit up and using your platform to spread it for the sake of political gains isn't free speech, its racketeering.
Unless you're non-binary, immigrant, federal employee, ecologist (or, well, literally anybody that could be affected by the climate crisis), woman, low income prescription drug user, transperson, refugee, victim of discrimination, opponent of the death penalty... But of course, no one will have arguments against ironclad takes like Vae victis or Après moi, le déluge and there are also very different definitions of what is "great". After all, some Americans would be unironically happy about the possibility of annexing Canada or handing over Ukraine to Putin, like Afghanistan to the Taliban. Other Americans would certainly call great a good health care, affordable education, workers' rights and a green future, but America is not for them right now, America is great now for populist crap such as renaming some gulf and a mountain... you know how much better the life immediately becomes after this, right?
Can you explain what you mean by this? What's a lie? What do you mean by "click your own link"?
Not only you just replaced one set of wrong translations with another set of wrong translations - none of them has any relation to Twitter link Hoppo user posted. Is this real? Someone pinch me.

What are you talking about? Hoppo's link is to an English translation of this comic. I'm not commenting on the quality of that translation, but the only one that seems to be telling lies here is you.
Also, if you're so sure the translations provided for this comic, be it Hoppo's very relevant link or Blank User's translations, are wrong, why don't you translate it then?

I suppose this is what GPT-hell looks like?
So let me get this straight. You're assuming the translation on Twitter is correct even though the translator clearly has a less-than-perfect grasp on the English language? Even though we have access to the Japanese text and can verify whether or not it makes sense, let alone correct?
Hole18’s translation was close to the posted translation, but with a few grammar fixes. Most of it seems reasonable. There were only four changes I made:
"私は...別に"
別に basically means "not particularly," "not really," etc. It's used in the stock tsundere line "It's not like I like you or anything!". Since this is a short sentence, context is necessary to know the true meaning. I think Hole18 assumed this was correct and just made the line more explicit. But neither "I... don't need it" nor "I... don't need a hug" really make sense here because Sensei then offers her one thinking she wants a hug. It looks to me like she saw Seia and Sensei hugging and wanted to ask for one, but stopped herself. She doesn't say the word "no"; I added that to make it clear she was saying "I" at the beginning instead of "it."
"ごめんね!!リオもハゲしたかったよね!"
This one looked okay to me. I just changed the word order to make it sound more natural in English.
"おいで!"
This one was also okay. I changed "Get in here!" to "Get over here!" because, you know, Mortal Kombat. "Come here!" would've been fine, too.
"非合理!"
This one seemed like it was too literal and "No way!" made more sense to me given the context. I did consider it might be a catchphrase, but I couldn't find any evidence. Someone with more knowledge of Rio can change it back if they feel it's warranted.
If there's anything wrong with my reasoning here, please feel free to comment, but keep it civil.
Edit: I originally miscredited Hoppo for the translation.

A small correction, that might clear things up. Hoppo didn't translate anything. The notes were added by Hole18, though I assume you knew that from the parent post.
What I'm starting to think happened is that Hoppo linked an English translation, Hole18 used it as a basis to add notes to the posts, and then Allaire saw the notes and misinterpreted Hoppo's comment as saying they had taken their translation from that Twitter post, and then got all pissy because the notes weren't one-to-one to the Twitter link.
Though even assuming that's what happened, Allaire didn't need to get hostile over it.

I don’t remember if I jumped to conclusions or misread the name (they look very similar), but you’re right. I corrected my comment above.

That’s pretty much what I did with the Tales of Asteria 4koma. I trusted it was mostly correct and copied most of it, but I found some odd wording from time to time, so I edited them a bit. I did make sure to specify the credit was for the original translation, though that’s not really applicable here if you’re right about how the events unfolded.
