Enemies of the American People

How many news organizations have been shut down by Trump?

Yes, let's wait until the ovens are burning before we take Adolf seriously about this Jew business.

That's not the point. That sort of thing starts somewhere (here) and the talk is historically un-American. Unless youre a commie pinko like Trump, comrade.

It is interesting that when leftforge isn't calling everyone who isn't part of the hive mind a Nazi they are declaring them to be dead communist dictators.

Make up your mind.

Dinner's onboard with anything that allows him to rant about "lefties" and thus force some blood into his flaccid member. One day, it might even be enough to get a semi.

Oops.

Do you honestly Trump is going to shut down the press?

Shut down? Unlikely.

Emasculate via legislation? He's already on record as saying he wants the law changed to make it easier to sue the press, and I doubt he'll stop there. I wouldn't be surprised to see a bill enabling the Federal government to demand the press identify whistleblowers "due to National Security concerns".

That said, Imma be fair on this and admit that Obama was pretty hostile to the press too at times (see link from 2014), but he never went as far as Trump. Hell, even Nixon knew not to call the press the enemy in public in case he needed to use them.

And if he does do that I'll be happy to express my discontent for it.

When did I remotely say anything like that?

Republicans have been beating the "don't trust the press because it is secretly for the Democrats" drum for 30 years now. It is a standard line for them. All he has done is repeat a standard line his base is used to hearing.

How? You think if he muzzles the press he's going to leave social media alone?

He's too polite, most of the current liberal media is putting out utter garbage, or in the case of print, paper not suited to wipe ass.

Lefties are the main market remaining to their half truths and distortions (although they do have some diehard spectators like myself), and the large media industry is dying faster than Obama's policies are being dismantled, as all but the most devoted or rabid partisan consumers are seeing through the abrogation of their duty.

E.g. has the NY Times every been a bigger joke in it's long history, given its trumphatred in place of actual "news"? Serious question. I hope it remains forever, hopefully it improves, but look forward to another four years of Donald if it keeps presenting garbage in place of unbiased reporting of event.

He won't, he'll be on twitter all of the time.

That's ridiculous, bud.

Things I support after 1 month of trump as president:
-deregulation
-deregulation
-deregulation (three times because that last guy piled this shit so friggin high)
-tax reform (to make everyone better off, despite a contrary opinion held only by the left)
-finish repealing any teeth of obamacare so that people and companies never pay a penny in penatlites, then maybe get a decent fix to godawful system
-acceptance of a word such as "illegal" at face value (although I favor much more liberal immigration, no point in having a word "illegal" that is meaningless; that is example #452 of liberal hypocrisy, and helps foster a lack of respect for *all* laws)
-tighter vetting before letting people enter the country who might want to murder us (send a check like the clever Aussies offered to do, we're already spending about 65k per refugee we admit, and borrow from China to finance this generosity when the subject countries mostly instinctively hate us regardless).
-fairer trade instead of consistently making deals where we infuse genuine US interests with a pile of rich guilt and white guilt, that culminates in a mediocre to rotten deal for American interests, and get value for US taxpayer billions spent on boondoggles like the UN and unfair treatment by "friends" in multination cooperatives like NATO.
Etc. Some fears, too, but so far haven't seen any real threat from the actual person called Trump, only the bugaboo in lefties and the liberal media's nightmares, although some trump fans are probably pricks (like the Obama fans murdering police officers).

Like the Democratic base there is both good and bad. Neither party is really very attractive to me right now and they both seem to have a lot of warts. As this is Wordforge and most of the conservatives have either left or been chased off I have spent more time laughing at the over the top hissy fits the left has been having here.

Like I said, his speaking out against the press is pretty much a nonevent as it is a standard line Republicans have been spewing since I was a child. He is just repeating standard Republican fair.

My assessment of Trump hasn't changed and has only been reenforced. He is an arrogant blowhard with no experience and will not accomplish much, mostly the Republican Congress will run roughshod over him and Trump will stupidly sign whatever they send him meaning the special interests will have a field day but Trump won't ultimately get what he wants. Worse, he is terrible at management and just isn't interested in details so the appointees will have free reign to do what ever they want and I expect corruption to be at record highs without any adult supervision.

Yeah. Obama did call out Fox News more than once...regardless the credibility of the source, it's just not a good look.

Even there, however, Obama wasn't getting in a shouting match and banning reporters from the WH.

It's an interesting phenomenon, really. I see a number of neo-conservatives saying such things, that they'll be happy/pleased/turned on when they see the liberal media, and "leftists" getting what they think they deserve. It's like they voted in the bully, and they're hoping he'll make life hell for the nerdy kids in class that they don't like. It has absolutely no value whatsoever, and comes from a place of ignorance and stupidity, as if they don't realize or comprehend that silencing one person has the potential to silence us all, and that such silence includes them as well. It's like they're too shortsighted to understand, or too foolish to care.

Actually, yes, that is you having a hissy fit. If it makes you feel better John is way worse and Shep practically had a full mental break down on election night so you don't look as bad in comparison.

You're a bigot. Who cares about your perspective on hissy fits?
